Piston and Head install

[derek94gt]

Teach me your ways :)

[TOW4LESS1]

wt is the deal blocking da fucking camera.....

[hom2fu]

shut the music and tell us what's going on

[denmah]

@hom2fu i disagree, if i took the time to make a video explaining everything there would be lots of comments saying shut up and just show the build, cant win either way haha

[bgjon87]

@hom2fu How can you not tell whats going on? head studs, head gaskets, heads

[3100fresh]

good video except you should drop the fast and piston out of this video.

because it wasn't and there was no piston installation

[757WN]

nice job gents. love the tune.

[bbsombs]

hey iv got that oil pan lol

[jhaze918]

good job guys lol

[FortyOneFord]

loctite is for wussies

[DarksideRacingCrew]

That torqe sequence was waaaaaaaaaaaaay off buddy! WTF, Seriously?

[koopooda]

What happends if you mix up your pistons when you take it out of the engine? im replaceing the pistons anyways but would the connections rods be affected?

[denmah]

@koopooda most people number them, so they install them as they came out, other than that, putting them in out of order wont matter.

[koopooda]

@denmah You just saved my life, I was tired and I was not thinking when I pulled them, Stupid me. Thanks alot

[thenextbigone]

@denmah Actually the order does mater when using stock pistons and is important. First the pistons will take on the shape of the cylinder bore as they are used so placing them in another bore will cause them to have an incorrect shape and allow blow by, even though the cylinders are honed and or bored cylindrical there is microabration which slightly alters cylinder shape another point is that the wear pattern matches the piston/cylinder so placing them in another spot reduces the pistons life.

[denmah]

@thenextbigone but, when you are blowing up 100 dollar 5.0 motors every season. who really cares about longevity

[BlazerVette]

@koopooda As long as you installed new rings, nobody should care. The rings will re-seat anyways.

[Drifter9502]

3:38 = he is dancing !

[badboynot1]

i liked the music nice vid ther boys 

[lt1bird348]

Reminds me of when I was a flat rate technician. Faster,faster,faster.

[dnamick17]

how much does all the equipment cost just to do this cause i plan on investing on a shit load of tools so that i can do a project with my engine.

[denmah]

@dnamick17 you dont really need special equipment, just an engine stand and some hand tools. if you are installing pistons you should use a ring compressor.

[xXACElongcon13HDXx]

@denmah what engine that. my ford the problem with my is the inlet value did not open so i brought a new head took me a long time to find out how many newtones the it 20 and wait for 3 mini

[denmah]

@xXACElongcon13HDXx its a small block ford

[mickeygovender]

@dnamick17 Buy them as you go along.There's always some new tool u will need

[crowecanada]

are all of you whiney bitch ass motherfuckers complaining about the music too fucking stupid or lazy to just kill the sound if it bothers you that much?? jesus h christ, shut the fuck up and just watch the video

[DonBell2007]

can you slow it down and do without the cheesy music?? I love watching these kinda vids,but I cant finish them due to music and unable to understand what ur doing...

[denmah]

@DonBell2007 well, if it was normal speed it would be hours, so i cant really upload that to youtubes 10min limit

[DonBell2007]

@denmah well understood about time limit, just condense and segment what you can..I do like the vids though,just a suggestion..

[eltonbean]

@denmah The music is so off puting. like really irritating while trying to watch the job.

[denmah]

@eltonbean well, you can turn down the volume or hit mute

[canttouchmymopar]

@eltonbean I thought the music was pretty cool to go with the video but thats just me....

[FortyOneFord]

@eltonbean (ehmmm) just turn the volume off.

[FortyOneFord]

@eltonbean (ehmmm) just turn the volume off. and 4 people like this, WTF!!!

[eltonbean]

@DonBell2007 agreed, the music is dreadful.

[smellslike1974]

@DonBell2007 i agree and the camera is like 5 ft away.you could always edit the video into 10 parts.

[seapeddler]

Well, I never figured that an ARP stud is subject to anything near the tensile limit, under normal applications.

I also thought that studs may, when removed, loosen at the block end rather than the nut end, as the nut could become seized on the thread.

Anyway, there are many schools of thought.

[seapeddler]

Do head studs sometimes go into the water jacket?

Would a dab of Loctite on the stud thread do harm?

What's the reason for a finger tight install?

[denmah]

@seapeddler depends on if the block has the holes going in the jacket or not, but yes possible.

no reason to lock tite studs, ever, at all.

you usually finger tight them because the nut on top is what gets tightened, not the stud body itself.

[lovemym16]

loctite can screw you over when you go to remove studs they like to break as it is so why make them tighter?

[pimponcito2]

good job bro

[bonante2004]

Goood Video. Only thing i saw was when you put head studs in they go in hand tight. The head goes on than torque. But other wise cool video. Keep them up.

[denmah]

it takes too long to spin them in by hand when you are building fast, so a small impact on low pressure gets em in fast haha

[HostageKiller]

You guys work good together... I could never work on my car in a team like that, at least not doing anything technical like this. I'd be paranoid the other guy would do something wrong.

[jayguy173]

inside to outside in a spiral pattern

[Trendyrapslut]

i assume you knew the cylinder head sequence by heart?

[Carlcode47]

I want you two to my garage :-D btw, nice song, may I know what's the name of this piece ? thx ;-)

[gtdrummerdude]

Sweet. I'm actually putting an '82 5.0 H.O. motor together right now. Just a stock rebuild with SpeedPro pistons, stock heads with worked exhaust ports by me, an E-303 equivalent cam, and the rest of my bolt-ons (Eddy carb and intake, shorty headers ported to 2.25" outlets, MSD, elec fans, pulleys, etc.) I'm only hoping to trap between 100-105 in the 1/4.

[denmah]

very good goal for that setup, see if you can get a cheap set of GT40 heads on there, little bit better than stock'ers

my friend had an 88 gt and he did a small cam, gt40 heads and intake, shorty headers and made 275rwhp and hit it with a 100 shot, and went 11.95 @ 115

[pantherxx010]

sweet video of you guys doing the job lol

[messos]

look at 2:11 he's like dancing. lol

[bsivoljr]

lolz locomotion robot

[Robokep]

Very good video! i have done it in smaller engines but guys how i wish i could have those tools to hold the engines and work in bigger engines.

[Bad88Thunderbird]

good vid man, i like this alot. alot of folks run their mouth on here. i have nothin bad to say my friend. good stuff. oh yea, it ONLY put down 590 horses. hell im happy with my 285 rwhp in my bird..lol.3.73 2500 stall, built AOD, junkyard motor, gt40's (worked of course), stock H.O cam + 4 degrees. shorty's, o/r H, flows. every freakin bolt on, on the market. ported u/l. good street machine, eats rice 95% of the time. i had an old man show me my ass last week in a clean 93, blown. sounded stock

[nirider04]

Everything torqued wrong but good video

[denmah]

yeah the car only puts down 595, everything is completely incorrect. you are a fucking genius.

[marek0086]

hey the deck surfaces looked filthy!

[denmah]

i cant believe this video has 22k views and the other assembly videos have like 6-800 haha

[thechori]

you didn't show the piston install, MADNESS, MADNESSSSSS

[mart229]

u didnt get rid of the the lash of the exhaust rods from the cam shaft

[denmah]

we always set lash with the motor running in the car. dont worry so much haha

[Duckyistrippin]

exhaust rods? thats a new one.

[ghohn]

Excellent video guys. Doing my own research for my first rebuild. Can you point towards some resources that you found helpful? I've done clutches, timing belts but never a rebuild

[excite236]

check ur local college they might have an automotive course for engine rebuilding you can take. its the easiest and fastest way of learning it

[ChrisWoodsDrums]

lol, opposite for me, im used to working on 4 cylinder petrol engines.

[STLSon]

or u can let the high school kids like me do it for u

[panoulis20]

looks so small ...i am used to the caterpillar v12 diesel engine we repair.still good video though

[coolice99]

cool vid . the question is why you are torquing i that sequence and why did you do a three stage torque down (like you add more torque in each level)

[denmah]

ARP reusable studs, they have a bit of stretch built in, you tighten down in stages to account for the head settling slightly and the tiny bit of stretch. say your overall tq is 80lbs you would go 60, and by the time you reached the end of your tq sequence, the studs are ready to go to their final tq setting.

[badmatt]

what song?
