5.7 HEMI Rebuild how to go from Bare Block to COMPLETED ENGINE

[@Jhrivera621]

I’ve gone through tons of Hemi rebuilds and not one of them showed how the thrust bearings are to be installed. Thank you for this complete rebuild video

[@improvisewitme]

Clear. Concise straight to the point. Lots of videos get off track. This one stays on target and not a lot of fluff.

[@RacingRamFam]

Thanks

[@Jasonsfarm]

I really appreciate this rebuild video. 5.7 in my '05 Durango nearly locked up the other night. I've never tore this far into a large engine (small engines and tiny motorcycles only), and this makes it seem not scary at all. Now I just need the cash for a stroker kit, different cam, and some other upgrades while I'm in there! Thanks again!

[@jayboy5940]

I love how u got ur vid setup with out missing steps and give tons of torque specs

[@johnnyortiz9146]

One of the BEST tutorials I have ever seen. You would think tutorials would all be like this because it’s just common sense to thoroughly explain everything but nope, 99% if tutorials skip so much information. Thank you for making such an easy to understand and informative video.

Thanks brother, super helpful! I appreciate that you were specific with this video- you went right into the meat of torque specs and steps. I appreciate you didn’t get sidetracked with seals. etc. Very much engine build tips- great for people who have worked on a motor before. I’ve do te 350 sbc, 351w, in-line 4 bmw, etc- but it was great seeing the guts of the hemi. Thanks bud!! I owe you a 6 pack

I have had all these things done aside from new pistons and pushrods. Basically from cam and lifters timing and all. I keep getting idle dropping to 500rpms even with idle speed set to +100.

Does the harmonic balancer need to go in a certain way? I have a brand new short block 5.7 hemi and I can’t find if it matters or if you just slap it on? Great video, I used it to make sure I was building it properly. Thanks for being so descriptive.

One more question. Is there anyway to prime the oil pump before starting the engine?

[@RacingRamFam]

@@ChaseLangley-m7i you can just crank the engine with fuel pump relay out until you see oil pressure. Or buy a pressurized oil priming tool. I’ve always cranked them no issues

Im not gonna lie , this by far the best video ive ever seen 🥹 everything was just so flawless and smooth nothing confusing.

[@jwhmerica504]

It’s been 25 years since I was building motors in my garage. Those old motors had to be board and machined before we could do a rebuild, is that not necessary anymore? Thanks.

[@noahkeith4366]

It’s definitely still recommended for longevity of the engine; but I know a few people who haven’t had theirs machined and haven’t had any issues. I’d still think it’s better to be safe than sorry though

[@bradysmith3024]

Nice job! this video has showed me I should just Pay a Professional to do my engine rebuild

If you rebuild make sure there well be no left over metal fragments stuck in the block

[@jeremymorris2613]

Loved this video I referred to it quite a bit when building my third gen 5.7. I want to put it in my 2005 Magnum SXT what all do I need to convert to make that happen?

[@joshkrause2977]

Trans, computer and possibly wiring harness. Then depending on if you want to use the original factory gauges if the older gauges are compatible with the new computer. Or just go Holley X and auto light gauges.

[@joekoudelka2721]

Looks sick with the 6.4 intake and you make it look so simple to assemble!

[@johnnypdoesthings]

I recommend not using an impact for the mains, even though you use the torque wrench, the torque wrench will only apply up to the specified load. You cannot guarantee that the impact you used to snug the bolts did not push them beyond 20 foot pounds. I noticed that when you were torquing all already at 20 foot pounds and I would not be surprised if most of them are well beyond that. just a heads up

[@Naleeze]

what about the most important thing?!! the cam bearings

[@YoungBlood20101]

You used non-MDS lifters with the stock MDS cam?? From what I understand, you can't/shouldn't do that..how did the engine hold up??

[@captainboose8788]

It should be fine, the only main difference is the MDS cam is slightly less aggressive
