Brave man installing those crankshaft bearings right out of the box. I once had the upper half of one main shell boxed as standard, stamped STD on the back, same part number stamped in the shell as the other upper main shells but made as .010 under. The crankshaft rocked on this shell when I layed it in the block. Sure enough the shell was .005" thicker than the rest. Ever since then I've never trusted installing bearings without preassembling and measuring, plastigage, or measuring the thickness of each shell when doing a "bearing roll" on an assembled engine. That was 34 years and many many engines ago, funny how one experience can last a life time.

@peteloomis8456
@peteloomis8456 2 ай бұрын
​@@jasonhumphry5836When using plastigauge to check for proper crank bearing clearances once the main caps have been torqued to spec you have to roll the engine over so the journal on the crank rods and mains touch the plastigauge once a full rotation has been made . Once this is done you pull the rod cap or main bearing crank cap off 1 at a time when doing these & this allows you to check the clearances needed with the clearance card you get in the plastigauge package so that's where the term roll is coming from being you have to roll the engine over 1 full rotation so the crank & rod surfaces make contact with the plastigauge which gets squeezed from this . Once the rotation is done you pull the rod cap or main bearing cap off & check how wide the plastigauge is with the plastigauge clearance card you get to make sure they are in spec and that who ever turned the crank & rods hasn't messed up & took too much material off so the correct clearance isn't out of factory spec . Once the crank mains and throws have been turned down from stock spec as well as the rods & caps they both have to then cut the caps to size to bring the specs back where they should be for proper bearing crush . If the machinist did his job correctly like the cleaning guy does no problems should happen but sometimes things happen at engine machine shops that shouldn't happen that gets let out the door and & once engine assembly begins some times issues pop up that there's a need for a different sized bearing to correct this when checking bearing clearances and it has to be done or major bearing damage can happen like a turned bearing if to tight causing seizure or too loose of bearing clearances that cause low oil pressure and oil to be forced out of rod bearings which will cause low oil pressure at the rod bearings which will starve the rod bearings and they will spin & cause damage . Hope this helps explain some things for you but I've been being shadow banned by KZbin here on a lot of posts and I spend the time to do this but then all of a sudden I look back at my comments and it's been deleted which wastes my time on things especially if it's something that KZbin doesn't know anything about what I'm trying to explain such as this video here & me responding to your question being I used to work at speed shops and have built a lot of HP engines and full on race engines . The other problem I'm having is this auto correct for spelling on my phone often times changes exactly what I type to something that doesn't make any sense at all even after I proof read it before I click on it to send it lol .

Just one thing I'd throw at ya,.. those blue gaskets, the timing cover gasket,.. that blue paper is silicon impregnated, it cures as it gets hot. silicone will stick to anything on the planet, other than other silicone,.. so When you put rtv on the paper it creates 2 points that aren't actually adhered. especially with a joint with 2 dissimilar metals like block and aluminum the different expansion rates can lead to leaks. In that application hi-tack works much better. You will even see when spraying hi-tack it will 'bead up' due to the silicone impregnation in the blue paper. Ideally if it was me, I'd use gray paper and aviation sealer if possible.

There is a real beauty in the attention to detail you have for every piece of work you do. While I know you mainly deal with OHV and flat head engines on this channel, would you have any thoughts on why a european OHC (roller rocker) engine would spin and shift a cam lobe to one side? I have been struggling to answer this one since I found the fault and would hate to think I missed the true cause. Apologies for treating the comments like a Q&A but the experience you have is genuinly awe-inspiring.

As some valves were closing it forced the press fit lobes round on the shaft but incredibly didn't bend any conrods. One engine rebuild later we should get to starting it this week.

Don't know if you read your comments but if you are worried about silicone sealer getting into stuff such as the oil pump you may want to try Three Bond 1184 Liquid Gasket Sealant I have used it for many years. it is easy to work with seals really well and unlike silicone if any gets inside it will not stay whole and plug up things but will disintegrate and not harm anything. I rarely use silicone on anything. Anything I ever put together with it still works.

Just wanted to share an incident. I rebuilt an FE block 428 a couple years ago, when installing the rod bearings I noticed there was no cam lube hole in the bearings. Had to assemble the rods with the bearings and drill the holes in each one. A friend had rebuilt a 390 the year before and the cam and lifters went bad immediately. Never got to look into it because he gave up. It’s the lube system for the lifters in these engines. Just check it if you deal with the FE Ford engines

Regarding the cylinder walls/pistons lubrication during assembly - I've heard from an experienced mechanic, that 2-stroke oil works great here becouse it doesn't cake(as much?) when burned. Of course you don't drown these parts in any lubricant, just a light film is needed. This worked for me with no visible downsides. Have a good one everyone!

You did such a nice job putting it together that if I was the customer I would have you put the rest together and run it in on a stand. One of the things that people mess up is cam break in. You have to get it running immediately and up the the right rpm for the correct amount of time. Even then, flat tappet cams and lifters these days are questionable.

I worked at a Honda dealership for a couple years in the mid eighties. We would often rebuild worn, oil burning Civic and Accord engines, in chassis ,of trade ins for our used car department. We deglazed the cylinders and fitted .010 oversized rings in the original bores and pistons , ground and lapped the valves, then button them up. They ran like new and didn’t burn oil for years afterward.

Love watching your videos and seeing your meticulous work! The Dodge 3.9L V6 came with a tensioner similar to that one. Guess it helps with timing stability with V6 timing order. Also, like other guys said, high tack gasket sealant would be a better choice for those paper gaskets than RTV. Doesn't harden so you don't have to worry about debris in the oil system.

It's interesting that they put a tensioner on the timing chain. Back when I ran a tune up shop. Many of the odd fire Buick V6 engines would come in with the timing chain rattling. I believe because they ran so lumpy with the odd fire setup.

I was a dealership line mechanic in the 1970’s and those V6’s were in many cars I worked on. The earlier ones like you rebuilt were Odd Fire and vibrated so bad they hung some damper weights on a couple places. Extra thick rubber engine mounts and a big weight hung on the back of the trans. They changed the crank on later engines to even fire by using offset rod journals on each pair. Those engine were terrible and caused many problems.

Like you, I use to pour oil on the piston and work into the rings then install the piston. I was told that doing that does exactly what you said, it cokes the ring land and causes issues. Now I saturate a towel with oil and wipe the cylinder down then build the short block. I've got into the habit of soaking the timing chain in oil so it's fully saturated for start up and stays lubed in case the engine is going to sit for a while before start up.

Another really cool build. If i remember right the *heavy* pistons were a fix for a factory 50 balance. With a factory balance it would take it to like a 38% underbalance and move the secondary further out of the operating range. Now ill have to find the book but an oddfire should be underbalance at 35-37% of recip. I once overbalaced a viper v10 crank not realizing it is an oddfire emgine and it had a horrible vibration at 4000 rpm ate a set of bearings in about 20k miles. There are few thing as cool sounding as an idling oddfyre.

Love you guys! Just brilliant work. So got a question. As an aspiring novice motor mechanic (and I do mean novice), where do you guys get all your parts from? A lot of your parts are not stuff one likely finds at autozone. Might you be able to list, post, or heck sell, a list of all your most common or best sources? Maybe for machines too. I think a lot of folks would like to have a concise listing of vendors of hardware and machinery and services and maybe even software as appropriate. For example in a video from not long back you mentioned the source for all the specs for engines that you use to rebuild your engines. But also others and where to get sleeves, over size valve seats, etc. etc. I’m sure the pros watching know it all, but this would be “motor rebuild resources for the rest of us”. Heck maybe this is a book you can sell!

My Dad had an old coal chisel that was mushroomed a lot. It formed a guard so that if he was a bit off with the hammer it protected his hand. He didn't care if pieces broke off because he wore safety glasses.

Jim...I looking at C2 Vettes. Is there a Vette engine you like, or Vette engines I should avoid? Really enjoy watching your videos.

Two questions come to mind. One, why were the replacement pistons so much heavier? Two, how come you didn't degree the cam since the engine was balanced? This is going to be the sweetest Dauntless around!

If you buy new pistons for an engine that you are rebuilding is there an acceptable weight difference or should they always weigh the exact same

You mentioned it’s not ideal to fit it on the flywheel and damper, did you drill it there so you didn’t have to move the crank?

Another Great Video from the Cleaner. I have rebuilded many oil pumps in the past. Never thought about resurfacing the oil filter housing. Thanks. Hope the you have a Great Thanksgiving. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

Another good build and good video! I've done hundreds of engines, but never a Dauntless. Did those have a stamped steel eccentric for the fuel pump on the cam nose?

Nope, I'm FOS. Fuel pump cam is behind the distributor drive.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, if one has to drill that much into the vibration dampener, then it really should be replaced. At least this is the old school ways taught to me. Now, in today's world, hate to say but, we do have a lot of idiots anymore, just sayin. My grand dad taught me the same way as how you do now for installing pistons only, we just wiped in a light layer of engine oil, yes, assembly lube will not hurt, we just figured, it's the proper oil and will mix well plus, it will drip down to the rods per say. I remember when pistons used to have 3-4 rings, today, lucky if you have just 2 rings anymore. Things have changed so much. Great video as always. Cheers :)

I’m not sure if this is significant, but when you installed the balancer, you said the spec was tightening it to 150 ft lbs (1:04:20), but when you torqued it down you said you torqued it to 120 ft lbs (1:04:48). Hope this is helpful.

So Jim, if you were gonna give a rough ballpark bid on an old 4010 block and head that had been gone through at least a couple of times, no cracks or anything but just not professionally done like you would do to get optimum compression. What's the ballpark? I'm 99% sure it was upgraded to the 4020 when we bought it and someone borrowing it long term ruined it and had it gone through again by the shade tree mechanic. Just saying, what if everything is decent just needs to be done RIGHT price?

Hi Thanks for all the videos I find them most interesting. Can you tell me the function of the square boss protruding into the combustion chamber near the spark plug?

After assessing the harmonics on the last crankshaft you guys attempted to fix I concluded that? If this car had been insufferably driven’ it’s possible this part has the burden of unevenly distributed forces on it which I suspect are difficult to see and rectify.. My beginning assessment..
