Engine build part 3

[paulsamels]

I work with safety glasses 9 hours a day. It took a while to get used to it but it's for the best. Now, I can't go into Home Depot without feeling like I need eye protection.

This guy tought more then what a 30,000 dollar school did.I know everything about a motor except how to install and take out cam bearings.thanks

Lube makes the world go around

[Mikej1592]

quick question, an old time racer friend of mine that builds his own engines is a bit of a maniac and is against engine lube. Something about the differing viscosity between normal oil or synthetic and the thick lube. What is your opinion on that? for example what if you just built the whole engine in a single setting, ie. had all the parts ready before final assembly, and just used plenty of oil on the parts, non stop from cam to pan assembly, good, same, worse, better? whats your opinion?

[CrikeyMang]

@Mikej1592 assembly lube is used because it is sticky and will stay on the metal surface until the engine is actually run-in. Regular oil will run off and leave a minute layer on the surface which is not enough to lube the engine properly until oil pressure builds. Mixing the two will not do any harm to the engine and they will eventually meld together after going through a couple heat cycles. Either way an engine should be primed with oil before Initial firing. Break In. Oil changed thereafter.

[duramaxjad4]

what kind of bit are you using at 0:40 ? and where did you get it cant seem to find them

[8tyman8]

@duramaxjad4 its a rotary file

[CrikeyMang]

@duramaxjad4 its actually a Carbide Burr. Carbide is used for ferrous metals since it will take off more material faster and not wear out. Non-ferrous metal such as aluminum can use regular burrs. You can find these at hardware stores occassionaly or Performance parts retailers such as Jegs, Summit Racing, Scoggin-Dickey

Snap on tools

[Billyf17]

Holy leaking hose couplers!

[santinorudy1]

good vid bro

[FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1]

@ 4:45 The tool (expand's INSIDE the cam bearing) not swells up around the cam bearing.

[brando123j]

I will be rebuilding a 302 will the setup be the same i am attempting this and im only 15

[dragracing3508]

@brando123j yes...just take your time and dont overlook anything

[blueeyesseto]

@RightsAndPrivileges air powered drill

[BigLongJon21]

wht will u guys charge to do this

[BowHunt1229]

sounds like you may have a small air leak in that air fitting ;-)

[My1968Impala]

I am about to install new cam bearings, and wanted to know how you remove the old cam bearings?

[Pariah806]

@My1968Impala watch their 1st video.

[ptrhip]

@My1968Impala refer to the 1st video it shows you there

[samson19541]

the cam bearings must be gradually larger from the first ones you installed?

[RGTGAME]

Will the surface of the sump that meets the surface of the block need clearancing aswell? ie, on the 1st pen mark you made and dremel'd?

Do you line up the cam bearing oil wholes with the block oil wholes by eye?

thanks

[cstbbowerman]

who needs gloves or glasses thumbs up

[beatnikgee]

Cam bearings on the sb cheb should be installed with the oil hole located at app. 4 O'clock ( with the block facing upright) this provides the best oil wedge for the cam to ride on. Graet point on installing the cam first not "stabbing the cam" last like the idiots on T.V.

[aryesegal1988]

cool music you have there playing in the titles. who's the artist and what's the name of the track, if i may? :)

[ratrace2p51]

GM 383 cam.

 Good idea

[ratrace2p51]

GM383 cam.

Hu, that's why you get the big bucks.

[darktreason]

Tight.

[56WagonWheel]

Great video, rebuilding my engine is my next job

[77MUDBOGGER]

@56WagonWheel im rebuilding one now for my truck im only 17 but i know a whole shit load about engines im rebuilding a sb 350 then a 454 then a 350 olds its my life its what i like to do let me know how it goes for you

[flipbarracuda]

I commented on the last video too but I've got another newb question... when rebuilding/turning the 350 into a 383 do you buy a rebuild kit for a 350 or a 383?

[MagicalMrSkylar]

@flipbarracuda Depends, if you're converting the 350 to a 383, you may want to buy alot of the pieces individually to make sure you get the right thing, but if you're just rebuilding the 350, a rebuild kit will work. just make sure its for your generation of 350.

[electriengineer]

Great video series. I hate to sound like a spoil-sport, but PLEASE use some safety glasses when you have your face down there next to the grinding. Otherwise, two thumbs up!

[HamadHHAG]

give me vid 2 im angry

[SuperJunkiexl]

where do you buy the cambar or the thing to install camshaft bearings?

[powayflores13]

wen installing the cambearings do u need to use lube

??????????????

[Bushougoma]

@powayflores13 You should always use assembly lube on the bearing surfaces and friction points of the valve train. It provides lubrication until the oil pump has primed.

[studpuppy69]

Where are your safety glasses?! Anytime you hammer, grind or cut even amongst other things, save your eyes man!

[michaelfarm]

@studpuppy69 Especially using a burring tool!

[dulcee1000]

@studpuppy69 yea that was the 1st thing I saw NO SAFETY GLASSES

[21min56secs]

@studpuppy69 this guy is engine building like a boss

[cstbbowerman]

@studpuppy69 no never

[fastestrhythem]

@studpuppy69 no offence to you but i personaly cant stand wearing safe-T glasses when working they bug the shit outa me by all meens use em if you want but some people like myself prefer not to 

[spelunkerd]

What's the difference between a 'spun bearing' and a seized motor? Do they always go hand in hand? If a motor was once seized, I presume some of the components can never be reused because of heat damage. Can you often reuse the crank and camshaft and pistons if you find no overt damage?

[foxdmulder]

@spelunkerd Your almost right! A spun bearing is a bearing that has moved in the crankshaft due to insufficent lubrication, A seized motor is slightly different. a car with a spun bearing will operate and run (for a reduced time period) A seized engine can be caused by timing belt/chain failure, low or no oil within the crankcase, lack of flow to the piston resulting in excessive heat warping and distortion of the cylinder and piston. Which are no longer fit for use.

[Shazee083]

@spelunkerd you can sandblast them you can take all the carbon reduce heat by 60 percent but you have to re-manufacture it and grind with +/- 0.0013 them by and reheat treat them it cost more the re manufacture them rather then buying and reduce the hazel all that b.s so yea but re-manufacture them its costume and very accurate so its always to size.

[fordfan855]

@spelunkerd a spun bearing is when the bearing is deprived of oil or the "tang" as he calls it breaks and cause it to spin in it journal. A seized engine is usually cause by the oil level dropping so none of the components are getting the oil they need so they heat up and lock up the engine. it could be cause from coolant level being low and not cooling the engine like it should be causing the engine to over heat and lock up

[sbakar]

This is an excellent video series - very clear, with great explanations!
