Basic Engine Building DVD - Chapter 40: Camshaft

Now that you're block is ready, onto the "Final Assembly" section of the video and installing your camshaft. We recommend Crane Cams.
You will need all of your cam bearings installed first. You will need moly lube on the distributor drive gear and all of the lobes of your cam. To avoid a mess only do one section of lobes at a time and rest the cam on a journal to lube the next section. It should be freely rotating after installation.

Awesome video,  we at Torco highly recommend Assembly Lube!

[BoxWrench]

@TorcoOil Do you guys at Torco make a moly lube or equivalent intended for flat tappet cam break-in?

What about the fact that all major oil brands have removed the zinc content from their oils? This is causing major problems with people that still like to run flat tappet camshafts and lifters (high percentage of classic car restorations and hot rodders..)

Does Torco offer any oils with added ZDDP?

@BoxWrench hey! im having trouble getting my old cam bearings out. is there some sort of special tool or something? they seem to be really in there. the engine is a ford 400

[BoxWrench]

@dnl5649 yes, you need a 'camshaft bearing installation/removal' tool.

The removal and installation process is covered in our complete 'Basic Engine Building' DVD. If you take your block to a machine shop, they'll do it for you, or if you want to do it yourself, you'll need the cam bearing tool and our DVD can show you the whole process.

Well this doesn't help us 4.6 crowd! :(

[BoxWrench]

@ajhnson true, this one short clip does deal with an in-block camshaft for a V8 pushrod engine...but, this is only a piece of a 3 1/2 hours DVD.

Almost every other section of the DVD has information and engine building tools instructions that you can use for any kind of engine.

You have pistons don't you?

There is extensive footage dealing with piston removal, machining and installation. Also, all the gasket sealing techniques that are universal to all types of engine building.

@mike711750 well, first, buy a new car. a van will never be as fast as a car. however, there are things you can do to make it a bit better. higher flow intake and exhaust are the easiest ways

[mike711750]

can someone tell me how to get more hp out of my 4.3,its in a 1992 van?

[ap1fanatik]

Very nice video series, It may be basic information but it still is nice when someone walks you through it.
