Keith Black 572 Hemi build Ep 11

This series is about building a Keith Black aluminum 572 Hemi. In this episode we install the cylinder heads, rocker arms, pushrods, oil system and finish up the build. Then prime the oil system and start getting ready for the test run.

I appreciate the effort you went through to modify a set of Hemi valve covers specifically for allowing for a visual during pre-oiling / oil priming to prevent a mess. That's "next level" engine building! Nicely done Rick. I hate messes too! :)

Thanks for watching

[@bradsrestorations1085]

Rick, I've never built an engine. I'm watching you and others to learn. You have been able to fix each issue involved with this build and make it right. I'm amazed. Thanks for sharing the process. God bless

[@rickseeman5679]

It's a long, never ending process. Keep studying and learning. It's fun. Thanks for watching.

Rick, I feel your frustration...but another great video.

[@rickseeman5679]

Thank you and thanks for watching

I know I keep harping on how important it is that you are doing these videos, Rick - but it is. Then you go and mention a collaboration with Joe and that's just more icing for the cake. I learned of him through Jamie at Dead Dodge Garage and the dude strikes me as knowing his stuff pretty well, so it only makes sense you're doing something with him. The hobby, and Mopars in specific, is bettered by you all. - Ed on the Ridge

Joe is a good person and I enjoy working with him. Thanks for watching.

[@johnnienitro6812]

Your so Funny Rick! But respectfully...........I'll leave it to U to deal with the boys. Great Channel. I know some of your pain.

[@rickseeman5679]

Thank you and thanks for watching

Looks good Rick..I'm surprised that smoke didn't come out of your drill when you were priming the Hemi...I know my drill let the smoke out! What is the interesting green machine in the background?

[@rickseeman5679]

That is a Cincinnati Tool and Cutter Grinder. I bought it and haven't had a chance to even start to learn it with these projects going on. But I would like to. Thanks for watching.

[@jeremyhorvwalt6630]

Any idea when the collaboration video will be posted on Joe's page? It's really cool to have more of your expertise out there

[@rickseeman5679]

I'm ready but Joe is so jammed up all the time with a half a dozen projects going on at once. I'll keep working on him. Thanks for watching.

Good Video...But, I will have to watch your other videos as you skipped the detail of the head install as well as the rocker arms at the 3:10 mark?

[@rickseeman5679]

There wasn’t much to installing the heads dry so I didn’t include it. Sorry. Thanks for watching.

[@Anthony-nw5zv]

So Rick, are all those companies testing your patience, skills and senility or what?😅

[@rickseeman5679]

You are so right. If it's not a stock Mopar part you're bolting on there's no telling what will happen. Thanks for watching.

[@twinturbo496]

When you pulled the pan off could you have added clearance to the pan / windage tray so that it would work with a dip stick?

[@rickseeman5679]

I would have to notch the pan rail and machine the windage tray. It could have been done but to run on a test stand it won’t be necessary. Thanks for watching.

[@icetech6]

I would never use the balancer bolt to pull the harmonic on..... (looks away in shame...)

[@rickseeman5679]

Maybe when you were younger....but not now. Thanks for watching

[@chipdiamondvideos]

Stage 5 Rockers? What do you set lash at cold? Thanks for your videos!

[@rickseeman5679]

Whatever it says on the cam card.

[@EFI440MOPAR]

Yep them dam Milodon covers are the same as the Speedmaster, 440 source and Indy Cyl head ones and ive had to rheem ALL OF THEM...... same shed different anodising, different mfg label.....! Very annoying, guys check out the Speedmaster pump covers same same....at a fraction of the cost

[@johnnyjohn4154]

What balancer do you use?

[@rickseeman5679]

Usually ATI but for this build I used a Fluidampnr because it’s the same width as a Street Hemi so if you put it in a street car the pulleys will line up. Thanks for watching.
