I guess technically it’s a welch plug? I’m not going to lie. I built about 50 SBC before I knew it was even in there.

These casting are almost always cracked around the seat

Not sure what your talking about a bump Oil gets splashed into the oil ring and it finds its way around. I never had a problem

76 was the final year of heavy castings, so it was the only year of heavy casted 305 heads. They can be safely cut for1.94" intake valves, no problem.

That’s an oil galley plug not a freeze plug

so for a 600 hp sbc with .003 bearing clearance what oil do you recommend?

Love the IDL machines... truly an ingenious device.

Correct me if i`m wrong 882 heads made a heavy weight and a light weight version thanks

I disagree due to the oil pressure being behind the bearing until it gets to th oil hole to feed the cam that's also lined up with the main oil feed. It can't build a wedge to fight against the valve train pressure pushing down on the cam. It's supposed to be engine upright, 10 and 2 o'clock on the front and the last four at 2 o'clock. This creates an oil wedge under the cam between it and the bearings. I have an 880 block with 15k on it and the cam bearings only have ⅓ worn out from the bottom of the bearings due to aligning them in the fashion your stating. Oddly my engine had really good oil pressure but it's an aftermarket hp pump. Pulled the cam and lifters to inspect them when I noticed the bearings worn on the bottom side.

Hi sorry for my ignorance but how do you tell how much you are taking off the tip of each valve does this machine have some kind of back stop . 👍👍👍

Where did you get the block roll over fixture

You may want to check a little closer ,that bearing is supposed to be at 8 o'clock with the block upside-down and that would make it 2 o'clock with the block right side up

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. :-(

Loose, Goose setup......

Good

Makes me cringe when I see people building Motors Parts not properly cleaned crankshaft look like it needed polished nice of main bearings

Like butter, hahaha

Great video man I am working on my Chevy 350 right now and I kind of got lost with the rod caps,, and what direction they go so now that you told me in a video it makes it much easier thank you

Can you use ultra fine tungsten and do something like wpc treatment?

Weak ones are 624s strong ones or 882 no brainer of course she can even talk to a doctor or nurse I can write you a prescription for that if there's ever an emergency

We had a boring bar like that at the first speed/engine shop I worked for in the early 80s. It did a nice job for an older machine.

What is the name and model if that boring machine

I have some of the older ones you are showing, the stronger ones. They've already been to the machine shop for a rebuild and seem to be okay. Thanks for the info, I'm glad to understand which head I have.

How to make tool point which grade tool u used

This is a pretty neat unit, looks like it is a stand alone machine and not mounted on a milling table? What are you using for fixturing to ensure 90 degree crank to cylinder bore reference?

I'd love to buy one but they're so expensive here in the UK that it would take 3 years to pay for itself. I'm thinking I might be able to use my Bridgeport milling machine if I make a really solid boring attachment. I mainly work on british motorcycles so nothing too big.

How much are these worth? I inherited one as part of a home sale. No idea what it does but do u think I can get some ones for it? Heavy as all hell. Looks similar to the one you have. Says KO Lee

That cutter head looked like it was walking all over the place.

I need a boring machine

I always adjust the fingers once the cutter is down into the bore it'll stabilize the bar to the bore

do gm make a 350 engine that’s already clearance for a 383 crankshaft? I brought a 383 Stroker but the block has not been clearance for the crank. Block # 10066036. Can’t find the casting number on the crank.
