Subbed man amazing interview

[@paulocuento9949]

i will subscribe boss, just because you earned my sub on this one.. i hope to learn more about engine builders and some garage tour.. thanks!

[@Will-cg9xx]

my 2c to you is you can hit to 2 millions soon if you make quality videos on cars, boats, airplanes, travels, motorcycles in China this kind of video, make the video nice like a short movie, add some scifi elements, make great editing and cutting, 4K videos all the time, go to car shows in Beijing, Tokyo,

[@archieroku4534]

So many people on here have 0% knowledge of true old school engineering. This guy is a legend and deserves some respect its that simple.

[@MK-df6li]

Yes i have 0% in the 'art of old school engineering'. Doing his work with his eyes and hands doesnt give u a better sound or precision. So what is this art your talking about? Name one artist oldschool engine builder who can sucessfully compete against precision engineers who use the right equipment.

[@thegrinch9307]

Nice video seems like he loves his job engine assembly is like therapy

[@exsparky8090]

Having been in the automotive trade since 1976 (old school) it is amazing how you learn to feel wear in component and can judge wear by vision. When he he checked the bore on those cylinders he was feeling for a lip on the edge for signs of wear. You don't always need a dial indicator as with experience you pick up on wear signs.

[@Jorgepaulo12]

Am my dream I want showcase it in Japan I choose Japan my dear

[@MacGyversWorkshop]

As a fellow "gearhead", and having worked with the Japanese for the past 8 years in my day job as an IT Systems administrator and most recently, IT Manager, The passion possessed by the Japanese for whatever they do whether it be manufacturing, engineering, or in this case high performance engine building, is unmatched by anyone I have ever met. I will follow this channel with enthusiasm!

[@j.vosier6786]

Mac Gyvers Workshop hey im 24 and graduating in IT, this year, how can i get my foot im the door?

[@MacGyversWorkshop]

Hello Ivan! At the sake of sounding cliche' you have to work hard, never surf the Internet at work, even if everyone else does it, always be 15 minutes early to work, show enthusiasm, and be ready for whatever comes your way. Never let them see you sweat! The world of IT follows "Murphy's Law", If anything can go wrong, it will! My advice would be to try and get on with a big company and start as a level 1 helpdesk tech, and work your way up. It will suck for a few years, but you have to pay your dues, and don't even think about working for the "Geek Squad" They just exploit you for $8 an hour, and when we see that on a resume we laugh and throw it in the shit can. Not trying to be rude, but its the truth. Never lie or try to embellish yourself in an interview with buzzwords, we see right through bullshit, trust me. Honesty is the best policy. Be humble and tell them you may have no or little experience, but you are a blank page and eager to learn. Just like you talked to me now, that attitude will get you a job. You may get a bunch of turn downs, but thats okay, many places need somebody that they think can walk in the door and hit the ground running, thats not the place you want to be. You want a place thats looking to groom someone new that hasn't been jaded by the business yet, and train you up "their way". That will be your golden opportunity. The reality is that no matter how much you know, your still the rookie when you walk in the door, and will have a steep learning curve because every job has their own unique systems and you will have to learn them and their way of doing things. Keep your mouth shut and your ears open. IT is a great field. I work for a global tier 1 automotive parts supplier, I walk through the plants and see people 60+ years old working on a factory floor busting their ass in 100 degree heat punching a clock and hoping for overtime. Think about that when your deciding whether to take that first IT job at 34k a year. Trust me, they look at us like we are the elite. Always be humble, and have a great attitude no matter how shitty your day is LOL! Best of luck to you!

[@j.vosier6786]

[@suneelkumar5932]

[@HermanWillems]

I advice you to start learning most about Electronics. Those exploding dead dino's inside a metal casing is going to dissapear though..

[@trickcyclists]

ricky gamino.. it's great that you're going to mech' school, well done.. soon you'll see how to do things properly and will understand that the guy in the video is only a God in his own mind.

[@Tyler-up7rz]

You dont need to go to school for this shit, you just take you fingers and rub them on the bores, bearing, and cam lobes. If it feels good then you know its right. If not just take an angle grinder to it until you are satisfied.

[@abmnerrodriguez2067]

Amazing video man !!!

[@pureredsti3177]

Like and subscribed awesome job

[@jokernepalm]

Thank you for this insightful video! One of many things I like about the Japanese is that they never cease to learn or gain experience from others.

[@mr.a5147]

"This is important so the torque specs are perfect" *drags piston skirt across rough bench surface* *uses fingers to ensure bores are correct shape and size*

[@marty7922]

Sliding a piston across the bench 1:45 didn't hurt anything & if it did scratch the skirts it wouldn't hurt it. Feeling the sides of a cylinder bore 2:03 can indicate the wear. I've rebuilt several engines, never had a problem, didn't need a ridge reamer after 200K miles, & skirt sides are the issue not the bottoms. Today's low compression rings don't wear into the cylinders like the old carbureted engines with high compression rings. Yes, one can tell the degree of wear by touch, even new car bodies are checked with a hand cloth to feel for imperfections that cant be seen.

[@solid_king1155]

0-Zone ok dude! what if the cylinder is warped (oval) do to hi temp. You cant feel that with your fingers😂 Im not saying he is a bad , but some things he is saying is total bullshit.

[@h33t18]

I've know machine shop techs that can determine over heating issues, the motor cannot warp and not leave other problems like a bad/cracked head. Besides, the piston wouldn't slide normal in the bore. I know someone that cracked both heads on a Chevy 454 and bent a connecting rod with the piston slightly tilted from a dropped vlv seat. New heads and carburetor the engine still ran good, even with the bent rod. Not the best way to deal with it, and the owner was satisfied that the engine still ran good as it ever did. I've replaced pistons from dropped vlv seats since the ring lands were smashed. This video is a fast & cheap way to rebuild, yet doesn't mention other cautions you point out. Running the motor is the final test.

[@InFamousAlex209]

H33T see but there’s a difference between doing it in your own engine and paying someone else to do this stupid shit just cause it sounds cool. Can’t expect to get a job done without the right tools.

[@ramivalencia]

His services are in high demand, so who knows best? The customers who trust his skills or an anonymous user on KZbin?

[@cliffjones374]

I was doing this to engines 20 yrs ago. From balancing pistons to grind off the cast lines on the block and heads.

Cool video bro, its hard not to have an appreciation for what these guys do! Good to see whats going on with these legendary engines on remote little islands! - for all the people keen to post neg comments on this video about the guy "feeling the bore" just let it be! sometimes you have to just enjoy a video for what it is and appreciate the effort of someone flying all the way out there to bring you some entertainment to watch...

[@sumporfuk]

The video was very inspiring. I loved it and can't wait to see more. The moment he started talking about the ambient temperature in the garage and the feel of the surfaces I knew then and there I was looking at a special cat and a master of his trade. Deep Bow Down

[@dposer10]

Hand built engines really are the best i did a lot of custom fitting on my old mr2 engine, and with stock cams and 10.5-1 compression it pulled like a freight train all the way to redline and still gave 35-40 mpg on the highway

[@thecrazykartbyAJ]

Thank you for the video, really nice. You can feel the same artist's atmosphere as in a video showing Nakai san work. Cheers to him for the builds and to you for the video!
