Engine build part 4

[loudpipesavelives69]

thumbs up you stopped watching this when he used a punch on the timing gear

[cbman96]

hey guys, quick question, i go to a tech school for diesel engines, and the plasti gauge we have the pack have about 4 different size plasti gauges in them, how would you know which one to use?

[12salem]

Ya know I think I tried to defend you on another vid, but I have to say get a big socket for the crank gear, dont try more torque on the cap bolts, and try a dial bore gauge for bearing clearance instead, and a dial indicator for end play. If the clearance is loose try a mixed set of bearings with a thou over to reduce clearance

[Lrules364]

so, how about trying that on a Quad 4? :trollface:

[MegaMarclar]

5:45 he means partial-data

[mrgabriale]

i hate the way that when someone does a great video people always come along and try and find faults with video and pick out little bits that people think they know better. at the end of the day he got the gear on the crank and quick. gaurentee hes built more moters then anyone whos commented on this page

[johnRc1963]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[seapeddler]

The punch marks on the crank sprocket will add to the resale value.

[tyrone121285]

This guy seems to be pretty knowledgeable in what he's doing. I think he assumes that most of the people watching this vid have some type of knowledge about engine building and thus isn't bothering to go into great detail about every little thing.

[srtrcr]

torque it a little bit more. Are you retarded?? Im glad you used plastigauge finally but you still need to learn some stuff. A beginner should never teach beginners. Do you know what a mic is?? Dont hammer on the crank because of the bearings but lets hammer on the crank. Also put the feeler gauges down. Along with any tools you dont need to change oil.

[speed150mph]

wow, i took my engine into a professional engine builder. i wanted to learn how so I came there everyday for a week and watched and helped. they used micrometers to check clearances but said plastiguage would work too, though not as exact. they also checked end play with a dial indicator and a prybar. but then again, and this is what my engine builder said, "THere is a huge difference between an engine builder and a mechanic"

[urbanoutkast5185]

or heat the sprocket

[praynker]

i wanna build an engine now

[FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1]

Plasteguage? OH MY GOD, get a set of micrometers & learn how to read them & use them. Also you dont just start torqueing and go slam to your torque spec. you work your way up in increments.

[marek0086]

@FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1~ theres no substitute for telescopic gauges and micrometers!.... unless of course God Himself was building a motor!

[xNORxCALxLIVINx]

@FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1 So wheres your videos at?

[FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1]

@xNORxCALxLIVINx : No time to make vidios, BUT I drive my 91' 3500 Dually W/ 454ci.+ 0.30 that I built EVERY DAY. Balanced & All clearances checked and loged. When I rebuild the one in my 75' C-30 dually, ill make one & go into great DETAIL. Cause That'z What I Do.

[xNORxCALxLIVINx]

@FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1 Hows the gas mileage on that beast? it probably has dual gas tanks. 

[FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1]

@xNORxCALxLIVINx: Man it sucks, it's a Gen. V W/ .520 lift 230 dur @.50 hyd. comp. cam. the large oval port heads have ben set up for an adjustable valve train, 3/8'' trendz pushrods, forged SRP pistons, Eagle I beam rods, Factory 1053 forged crank 4.00'' stroke, headman headers, Edlebrock Air gap intake, Fact. T.B.I. & ecm. Not running at it's full potential cause of fact. ecm. cotrols timeing and fuel table's. I need to get after market computer for Engine and one TCI for the 4L80e trans

[staggsrl1]

man your awsome for beginners

[U3erpru7ser]

I thought 5 was the companion for 1.

[chevykicksass505]

Just so some viewers know, the importance of measuring bearing clearance is to determine what weight engine oil you should use to obtain the desired oil pressure.

[zapwatt]

This is a terrific video. The only thing I will contest though is that if you can fit a .007" feeler gauge in there then you have closer to .008". BTW I am a machinist by trade

[jknight1972]

1 person is a ford fan.

[blueeyesseto]

@jknight1972 oi im a Ford fan still like the video

[h88auto]

@METALLIRATT If no one has told you yet. try ebay for a cheap one. If not then snap-on, Matco, Mac or Cornwell. I prefer Matco.

[clholsinger]

Man, at 7:07 that crank gear looks jacked, where he put it on with that punch.

[pskittle488]

Question: Since the timing would be 180* out with the gears being "dot to dot", could you then install the distributor timed to # 6 and time accordingly? Say the firing order is "1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2", would you then time it "6 5 7 2 1 8 4 3"?

[ted850760]

@pskittle488 no...will work fine...keep in mind the crank turns twice for one turn of the cam sprocket....trust me...

[REDNECKFARMER911]

@pskittle488 i dont what hes tlkin about roll the motor over until air comes out of the cylinder hole then put then put my distributor in or what?

[moos209]

Sweet ass torque wrench!!

[Typhlosion100]

Does this include the 1 gen 350 motors?

[msgmonly]

check end play with a dial indicator, the thrust surfaces of the bearing and crank are not perfect. never with a feeler guage

[msgmonly]

torqing the main bolts more will not change the bearing clearence!!! ithe whole reason for the torque range is to strech the bolt

[BowHunt1229]

wheres the loctite?

[richieb74]

WOW, you should heat up the crank gear to like 300F and it would slide on easy, and Plasti Gage, really? who still uses that lol

[ml414skidoo]

Excellent dot to dot tip.

"Rush" builds are 180 deg out because of figuring that hte dots mean everything is timed and set with #1 at TDC...

[2xthe15s]

if i were to buy an old car would it be better to buy a new motor or rebuild an old one? like if i had to put a motor in if it didnt come with one

[vidmanproductions]

6:50 haha any closer on those timing gears and you wouldn't need a chain. :)

[fc3sghost]

dude thank you on explaining that dot to dot. i though somthing was wrong with my motor when i did my timing chain and dizzy. I was woundering why the dizzy was pointing to 6 when i had it on dot to dot.

[rwdplz1]

EXCELLENT point about the dots!

[JohnxWaynexGacy]

you should have put a big socket on the crank gear instead of using a punch

[cstbbowerman]

@JohnxWaynexGacy deep socket is the best

[philkoolemagic]

@JohnxWaynexGacy I didn't think much about the timing gear installation until 7:18 came along. There seems to be a lot a punch mark damage from where the Gentleman hammered it on. Obviously you won't see this damage when the engine is assembled, but I'd be more inclined to go with your suggestion on this subject... Thanks.

[tagwolf]

@JohnxWaynexGacy Yea after all that I cringed >.<

[ratrace2p51]

I like this guy, alot

[hopkin104]

Decent, dead on point.

[akinorhan5]

THUMPS UP IF YOU DON4T READ LONG COMMENTS IN YOU TUBE :D XD

[darktreason]

So 0.003 thousandths is what the engine manual said you want and if the barrings didn't match up to that specification (With to much clearance) you would have to find the fitted barrings to bring it to 0.003 thousandths? If I'm wrong correct me.

[punkrockloser7]

@darktreason correct, you can find special bearings, or have a machine shop lathe your crank.

[GarrettJDB]

Do you have to put any loctite on bolts?

[sickbro91]

dang that crank rings so nice

[clocko322]

so is the cam dot in the right spot and the crank needs to be up or does both dots need to be away from each other

[michaelfarm]

@clocko322 You always line the dots up.

[ericg83z]

shouldnt u torque the mains not just use a ratchet?

[rocker4u123]

its a damn engine, not a motor!

[MisterModder123]

@rocker4u123 It's called either one. I learned a few days ago that they are the same thing, haha

[flipbarracuda]

@rocker4u123 I doesn't really fuckin matter... My guess is that's the only thing you know about an engine/motor period fucking ignorant hick

[rocker4u123]

@flipbarracuda yes it does matter. i'm pretty sure if you were taking an ASE test that they would fail you if you did so. It may not matter when people know what your talking about but in the professional rhealm of mechanics, it does matter. I'm not what you would call a hick, i am a country boy though. I like my Chevy's loud and powerful just like the next guy. My engine knowledge would suprise you though.

[113cross]

@rocker4u123 would you get the hell over it.. damn

[gergc36]

@rocker4u123

What is a Motor City making then?

[electriengineer]

Excellent explanation of the dots.

[HamadHHAG]

i have that song at 0:19

[6speeddakota]

you spelt gauge wrong

[powayflores13]

WEN  YOUR TORQUE DOWN THE BOLTS DO YOU NEED TO USE LOCK TIE

[witchdoctor88]

I've been following this engine rebuild procedure, and it's been very helpful. Excellent camera work. Also... that's a really nice torque wrench! Can you guys tell me what it is?

[rocker4u123]

@witchdoctor88 i believe its a snap on

[spelunkerd]

Thanks, Mike. Is there a mark on the engine case to show exact TDC?

[vettelover2009]

I knew the 180 out with the timing chain, and I always laugh at those shows when she never fires...well, except out the intake...lol

[Svec98]

first comment, actually this series of videos are really instructive!

[studpuppy69]

@Svec98 Grow up on this first comment crap.

[Svec98]

@studpuppy69 your just sad because you werent the first comment
