Last I time I checked, there was a torque sequence for mains and rods. Im curious when the memo was issued that said that was no more and you could torque those down however you wanted??

Pete's Machine back in the 70s we used STP for assembly lube- the old school STP was really thick and sticky not like the new STP. Also noticed when you put the wrist pen keepers in- you called them locks- they was turned in all directions then I saw how you lined then up (hat) up like we use to. Pete would get engines in for rebuild with broken keepers and he discovered that the locks had not been installed properly. If you put them in side ways the piston movement and combustion process would cause the keeper spring to move or bounce and the keepers would break over time from that little movement. We also used blue Loctite on the rod bolts or nuts to make sure they stayed where we torqued them. Good job, machine work is looking good. Peace.

Aside from the requirement of 'know-how', which is number one, the thing I never see mentioned is that it takes time to do it properly. Time to do the job and especially time to notice if something is not right.

Am now 72 yrs old and used to work in the spare parts side of an engine reconditioning shop more than 40 years ago - but I snuck my nose into what everyone was doing and why. Am now also a qualified mechanic and machinist, amongst many other things. Whatever you are involved in I would like to see. Either confirms what I know or at least brings back what I think should be done. Your standard of work and ethics are as good as they come. Keep it up. There are too many slap dash folk and key board warriors on KZbin who "know it all" and they are leading many people astray. You are putting those who watch those "experts" back on the right track - as long as they do indeed listen. But there is a good reason why that expression exists. You can lead a horse to water ........... From Land Down Under.

Hey, hey, at 72 I'm still doing this stuff through a couple different careers, including automotive and machine work. I still remember the details of bringing home that aluminum 215 V8 from the junk yard (sorry, wrecking yard, recycle yard or whatever) and ordering the one piston I needed from Pep Boys to get it running. It sat clamped to a confiscated and modified shopping cart, in running condition, for a couple years until my Grandpa needed it for his Skylark (I think). Ran it that car for longer than I kept track. All that was somewhere in the neighborhood of 1965.

I just happened across this channel and from everything I've seen on KZbin, this is the easiest to understand engine building channel for us 'shade tree' mechanics.

The reason I ask and only to exchange information(not critiquing at all) here is that I had read out of a Popular Mechanics article years ago to place the openings at 6 and 12 O'clock when free floating pins are used. Why? This is due to the up and down forces on the connecting rod that believe it or not would cause a stress point if the C/retaining clips when installed at either the 9 or at the 3 O'clock position the open portion/window. To clarify further if the opening is placed at the 9 O'clock position the stress would be at at the 3 O'clock position and vice e versa. Eventually over time the C-clips could possibly break due to being fatigued after all of that up and down motion. Using the 12 O'clock or 6 O'clock position is spot on. @@powellmachineinc3179

Long, long ago, I visited a machine shop that was building dirt track SBC'c. One thing that they said is that it was important while working on / assembling the engines that if they are aluminum blocks, the enginee should always be supported from both ends. They said that if its only supported by the trans mount surface, the engine can slightly droop on the non-spported end. It kind of makes sense. All machining is supported at both ends (fully supported) but whenever its on the engine stand, there is no support on the front. Please give us your thoughts on this.

When you torque the main caps are you not suppose to start in the center and work your way out? I have never seen a LS builders book or GM manual say start in the front and go back. I also haven't seen anything that says you are to torque all 4 main bolts per cap. Everything I have seen and read says do the inners all the way then the outers all the way. I have built a few LS motors and not had any issues but if the correct way is to start in the front and go back and there is data to prove it, I want to change the way I do it. I like your videos and have watched a bunch, this one is throwing me for a loop though. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I appreciate it.

My personal secret of little consequence. Lubing bores and pistons upon install, i used outboard two-stroke oil (water cooled, not air cooled). More than enough lubrication being used straight, as outboards can run 3k hours on a 50:1 mix, and burning away clean is engineered into it. The oil is being used exactly where its designed to.

Honest question, been watching lots of your videos lately. Just discovered your channel and very much enjoy/appreciate you taking your time to make these videos. I’m a home gamer here. Building my sons 351w (he’s 5) in the old family monarch. When measuring the cylinder bores I can’t find a straight forward answer on what accuracy to measure to. For example my bore gauge has .0005 graduations. I ordered a starett bore gauge down to .0001 graduations. Am I “over measuring” here? I see tolerances for bore taper, concentricity and so on but every one seems to have a different spec for all these measurements. Should I be worried down to .0001 or is .0005 fine here. It’s a N/A .020 over 9.5:1 mild cam build. Manual transmission. I just want this thing to turn gasoline into noise and pollution reliably. Thanks again for the videos, I shall continue to soak this information up like a sponge.

Question? So you only checked ring end gap on one top and one second ring in a single cylinder and call the rest good to go? As far as I know every ring including the oil scrapper rings must be checked in the bore they will run in. Oh and .013 end gap? I get that if the bores are the same size and the rings were all made correctly this should be fine. Without checking every ring end gap some day they will bite the hand that feeds them. General rule would be .016 would it not? I would rather have to much end gap than not enough. BTW I love your channel. Your attitude and personality make me smile every time I watch one of your video's.

I’m still a fan of the old style sbc. On an LS do you have dedicated main caps to each main in the block? New pistons won’t matter which hole but does the rod need to go back to the same bore, same direction? Thanks.

The sequence you torque the main bolts if I seen it right is front to rear rear to front I’ve never seen that before I guess I’m too old school I thought you started with the center cap and work your way out if I’m wrong please correct me thank you for your input and opinion. I appreciate it if you would thank you.

It's irrelevant..the caps are independent, the mains aren't a cylinder head with a gasket.

IMO, I'm here for the machine shop work and your quality and honesty towards it. Maaaybe a little unique fab or engine block welding in between?? But I'd personally rather your channel doesn't get diluted with 900 different things, that's not why I'm here. There's 100s of weld/fab channels. Just my input on it 👍

makes me feel good about the trans fluid only difference is i have a can 1/2 full of trans fluid and i just dip the piston in the fluid just before sliding it in makes a little mess not to bad but have always done that my dad did it that way as well which is a lot more than you use more than needed

Good stuff. Ring question… seems to be a lot of different input about seating rings. What’s your recommendation on these LS engines? Finishing up my build, and will want to run it a bit to shake out any issues. But the vehicle it’s going in, it won’t be drivable until later. In the process of doing a back half on it, among other things. Some say, with the first run, you should run it under a load (such as driving) and some say it doesn’t matter. What’s your take?

I really appreciate your attention to detail. Seems like you like what you do. I wish you were my machinist. I just had to take a block to Kenmonth because first shop bores it with .008” clearance on a 4032 DSS piston. I was told to set the ring gap it’ll be fine. No thanks. I caught your video about just that topic at the very same time. Skirt clearance and rings two different things. It was nice confirmation coming from a real pro like your self. Quality and honesty getting real hard to come by these days. I am enjoying the education your channel provides. Thank you
