I bought a cheap Ferrari F430 with a Gated Manual Transmission. These are super rare models! Only issue is that this ferrari was an ex track day rental car and the engine and gearbox was in a thousand pieces when it got delivered. Ive now got to rebuild the car & the engine whilst keeping the whole thing cost effective!

Yeah man. Look at the look at his father’s face. He is doing this because he absolutely loves it and even more to be doing it with his son. He is 100% not doing it to have his own KZbin channel. This fucking new generation. Finding problems where there are none. And always seeing things where there aren’t none to be seen. Back before you guys we used to have relationships with our fathers and family. That didn’t require validation 24/7 on social media to prove to others that we had them. The people that mattered knew how much they meant to us and vice versa. It had nothing to do with making meaningless comments on video or pictures w long texts to make ourselves feel better because we probably forgot someone “important to you” birthday or didn’t bother to call or visit him. Back then we visited. Made a point to call. To spend time with them. And that’s exactly what Matt is doing.

[@MoltenKing992]

21:52 Hey mat, ring gaps are calculated from the bore size X factor. The factor changes depending the piston. So forged and cast pistons will require less gap a than hyper-eutectic piston. The other thing to consider when determining the factor is how the engine is destined to be used. So N/A street driven engine is different to an engine with boost. If you can’t find the torque specs you require, consider replacing the factory fasteners with new fasteners from ARP. I’ve always used the ARP’s recommend torque spec which they determine by the size of the fastener.

Typically when reusing valve springs, valves, keepers, rockers they ALL must go back in the place they came out off. Valve guides wear with the valve stem, springs have a seat pressure spec set at the factory, rockers wear a pattern on their valve tips and so on. The cams/ cam caps absolutley need to go back where they came from as they wear a pattern into the head/ lobes. Definetly try not to mix cams from head to head. Best case scenario you get away with it all and worst case you wear down that drivetrain in 10,000 miles or less. I'd be cutting my oil filters apart for next 10k looking for glitter. Hopefully all these details don't come back to bite you in the arse. I would have personally just used the assembled complete heads from the free motor you got and just sent them to a capable machine shop for a cleaning and health ck, maybe valve seals depending on miles/ kms. For ring gap you can copy the gap from your bent con rod/ piston set up. Take the rings off it and insert em into the block you didn't hone. If it's all stock unmodified parts (stock bore) the gap reading should be the same. Ring gaps aren't something that wears with use. As for torque specs on critical things like rods, heads, mains i would absolutely not F around. Pay a hacker to dig into Rarris network if ya have to but do not guess trq specs or sequences on critical parts. While you have the block apart I'd also invest in a proper bore gauge and measure each bore top and bottom to make sure the bores aren't out of spec needing oversized rings. Your dad was moving too slow (up and down) with that hone fyi. A compression check of all cylinders before firing up the engine should tell you how well you put the thing back together. Best of luck! and i'll have the popcorn out watching this build unfold! edit: forgot to mention the obvious but absolutley do not forget to put the straighest of straight edges in your arsenal on both heads and block sealing surfaces before bolting em together. use a flash light from one side and look for ANY light coming through the other. you have no clue why that engine was taken apart and if the track guys overheated it aluminum heads tend to warp if you even look at them the wrong way.

Yup… although I do t think it’s the end of the world with an all aluminum engine (aluminum block mated to aluminum heads)… I would for sure do it anyways and have the machinist take all the way down to the service limit to get a little extra compression.

Agreed, also make sure the rear flange on those 2 cranks are exactly the same from automatic to manual. The diameter and depth of the counter bore and bolt holes. It would be a shame if the stickshift flywheel and/or transmission doesn't fit after the motor is complete.

You can’t just hone the cylinders. You have to crosshatch the cylinders with either a hone or a glaze breaker ball hone. If you don’t the rings will not seat properly. The car is looking good and nice job on the valves.

[@mincraftgeek123]

Love the build Mat. Just one thing I noticed from the video (you mightve not shown it), make sure that when you are honing the cylinders, that you move up and down quickly with the tool that your dad was using. You want adequate cross-hatching so that when you install the pistons, the piston rings grab against the wall adequately and give you the proper compression and no oil goes into combustion chamber during operation. Cheers.

[@sebastians1511]

good call.

[@cweednz]

The cross hatching allows the oil to form a film, yeah? If perfectly smooth, the oil is unable to cling to the cylinder wall(?).

[@mincraftgeek123]

​@@cweednzYeah thats correct. It is so that the piston rings seat against the wall properly and seal the combustion chamber from the crank case.

[@DrJo-zf2yc]

The scratches made with the honingtool have to have an about 45 degree angle, so the pistonrings can shear off the oil from the zylinderwalls without the danger of grabbing into the zylinderwall itself.

[@alancooper7062]

As someone else mentioned , when honing the cylinder bores you need to effect cross hatching !!

Here is a trick for the future. Get an electronic torque wrench and write down the loosening torque of the bolts. In theory it takes about 95% of the torque to loosen than to tighten under ideal conditions (bolts that are not corroded or seized).

[@geordieboy77]

does that account for bolt stretch?

[@is6781]

Trick for the future is dont overpay by 100% for a car

[@per.kallberg]

@@geordieboy77yes, stretch is a consequence of the torque applied. You pull to torque and that is then including the stretch.

[@HotTacticalBoyfriendOfficial]

I was taught never to use a torque wrench to loosen bolts, as it throws the wrench out of spec. Are electronic wrenches protected against this?

[@TheHenzen]

​​@@HotTacticalBoyfriendOfficialext time someone tells you this, ask them how they thight a bolt with a left thread... you should probably not loosen a bolt that has been tightened to let's say 200 Nm with a torque wrench set to 50Nm. It probably has to do with what kind of torque wrench you work. Some huse a spring, that presses a square part (like a cube) against another flat surface inside the handle. Think of it like when you hold two squares of wood and clamp another one between them, you can now turn them without them falling apart. As long as the force of the two outer blocks pressing on the center block is higher than the resistance that would be applied to the center one, it won't fall out. Thats what makes the clicking noise in a torque wrench, its when the torque is higher than the pressure applied by the spring on the square part, and the square part flips/ tips over. Excessive load on the flipping square surely isn't the best thing, but if you set the torque wremch high enough the pressure of the spring will be higher and as the torque and it wont flip/ tilt. Probably not the best explaining but I tried :)

You all have to remember that what it's all about is to create content for YT. There is no need for correct honing the cylinders because this car will never drive a lot. And the question for the torque specs is just to get the comments going for a higher YT ranking. Freddy's engine is just for crosslinks and more value on the video and it makes the repair cheaper of course. So the production cost for the video series stays low for higher earnings. And often there are "mistakes" in the videos (e.g. the cylinder honing) just to make you write a comment about that. It's all about the YT algorithm to make this more valuable. But whatever... It's fun to watch the videos and that's what it's about to me.

Matt, it's important that before you fit the cylinder heads you fit the spark plugs, then turn the heads upside down and fill the bowl the valve heads sit in and fill them up with petrol (not water). If the valves are seated properly and are sealing, the petrol won't leak. If the petrol instantly leaks away, the valve seating is poor and you need to regrind the valve seats. If it was me, I would get a professional engineering company to do this work.. Badly seating valves could rob you of 80bhp easily. Work smart. By the way, the tin with the grinding paste in is double ended. Course one end and fine the other. You need to use both compounds - course first and next fine.

Mat your dad is amazing in what he does! And I love the realationship you both have!!❤

[@mattgretton2925]

Great episode, amazing pace seeing progression!! Your dad’s knowledge is on point. Respect to all the team great channel guys.

[@ChrisGivesItAGo]

Hi Matt, Certified Ferrari Technician here, with the piston wring gaps what you want to do is get an airline torque wrench and give it 15 Ugga Duggas.

[@Chris-hn1xe]

So impressed that with your Dad's help you are building the engine yourselves. So many others would have sent it off to an engine builder!

[@2001_SpaceOddity]

I love all the detail you go into and the diagrams/videos. Nothing better than learning and being entertained at the same time. Fan from NY, USA

Love the collaboration you have with your Dad in these builds, meticulous work as always. First class!

[@johnlepts8004]

Absolutely love the craic between you an your old man he's a very knowledgeable bloke I can't wait to see this finished mat

[@Alan-xg3ic]

G'day, just an observation. I thought that when you hone a cylinder, the crosshatching should be around 30- 40 degees, ish. Something about oil retention in the cylinder. Love all your vids.

[@juliocaubin8091]

Interesante, divertido, lleno de buenas vibraciones a pesar de todo el trabajo y del increíble gasto en repuestos. Deseando ver ya el siguiente episodio. Mucha suerte Matt.

You're so lucky to have this time with your Dad. I would give anything for times like this with my pops, but I'll have to wait for the next life for that. Please cherish these times, life is short. Bless you guy's...🙏

Love the way Mat and his dad help each other with every rebuild 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@Prof.Polymath]

I’ll print the brackets for you Matt ! Let me know what you need. 👍🏼 as for the torque specs, find them out from Maserati or another engine with similar spec and power etc. they’ll be be similar so that’ll be fine. 👍🏼

[@bensalter1221]

Matt your doing an excellent job on your cars, and showing ppl how easy it is to build/ repair them … Respect bro👍👍👍

[@chrissteel5304]

Nice work Matt - hack for lapping valves! Instead of rolling the stick between your hands (correct method), attach a drill to the end of the valve stem like you would a drill bit, apply some paste to the valve seat and allow the drill to rotate whilst pulling the valve backwards and forwards. I've done this many times and it saves hours - care is still needed.

[@rustyfmj2388]

The F430 has always been on my list of unobtainable dream cars, so nice to see you make videos about it

No joke. This has to be the best mix between entertainment, visually great looking and interesting engine rebuild i have seen on KZbin.

Underrated comment 😂😂

Agree. He should have stuck to Porsche and McClaren

[@britneyfreek]

noticed how there’s the ferrari logo in your face between cuts? liked that.

[@Itsfranklyfrank]

Hey just as a note before you slap the engine back together. After using the hone on the cylinder walls it’s a good idea to run a dingle Berry hone through it (that’s what we call it, kind of looks like a bottle brush) it’ll give you the cross hatch you need on the cylinder walls. Super smooth is not the desired effect, I’m no professional. So take this with a grain of salt 👍🏼

You need to deglaze the bores

[@alastairwoodford3575]

I have very little car mechanics experience but I wanted to learn more so a few years afp I took a three cylinder head out a Peugeot, skimmed it, replaced the seals and grinded the valve seats and put it back together. Learnt a heck of a lot about how engines worked. Replacing the collets on the valve springs was a total pain.

[@oluskloc]

15:43 I reccomend to check for valve leaking before putting it back in, if some valves are still leaking better repair it now (like replace the seats or cut them) than end with not perfect engine! Also I think many workshop will repair the old crankshaft so it still holds some value, ferrari crank is pretty expensive I guess.

[@pjotrrenes7442]

Yeah finally a Ferrari!😍 I'm so glad there's a new rebuilding video online! I've tried to watch other channels looked similar but your videos are so much more fun to watch!! Greetings from Holland and keep us posted!! (sorry for the poor english writing)

A bot stole your comment and now it's a top comment, Mat replied to it saying "Awesome! Thank you!" Also your English is completely fine, only a few minor grammatical mistakes, don't apologise!

Is there a video about your dad and why he’s so knowledgeable? He’s like an Engine Buddha Would love to here more about how he has all that know how in his cranium

Love the show man. The energy is fantastic and your builds are absolutely amazing. Keep it going brother and I look forward to the Ferrari completion and the Morcielago. Thank you for your videos….

[@baitse7676]

This is such a great project! Regarding the valve stem seals, you should grease them and put a protective sleeve on the valve stem when installing. The valve goes into the guide, then you put the seal onto the valve stem. The recesses in the valve stem can cut the valve stem seal. Hope yours are fine because it's a big job to redo. Did you check the heads for plane?
