Enjoyed watching you check the deck height with the modifications made to the bridge tool. Very clever sir. That Storm Vulcan does a nice job on the deck. We have a Storm Vulcan crankshaft polisher, but I don't think it's as old as your vintage piece. Thanks

Nice work, is that 350 going to get arp bolts/studs on the mains or does the factory bolts do the job?

Great work. I went nuts with my grinder an polished the entire inside of my block,clearanced everything. There's not a loose piece of flashing, casting sand etc inside or out. My block is smooth as a babies butt inside an out. It looks beautiful with the paint on. I'm enjoying watching you work, it's top notch

Thanks for posting the video. Have you considered adding a motor controller to your older machine, instead of changing pulleys? A VFD could give you the ability to change speeds on the fly, and would probably give you more speed range than you need while still having ample torque. In today's money it would probably be a couple hundred bucks to add a VFD, but that could give your machine a new personality.

A really good thing to show if you can is proper use of the micrometer. It's one thing I struggle with... i mic the crank, set my dial bore gauge, check the bearing clearance and find out I show .003-.005 more oil clearance than it really is just because I don't have a good feel for measuri g with a micrometer. Judging how much drag on the anvil when measuring is a skill imo

Your content is top notch. Just gotta figure out how to promote it. I learn something on every video

Sure does a good job cleaning

That is going to be nice 283 after it is done.

Ah I see simmlier to blocking out making sure it's flat

Nice work pat you are the best

Nice work, i wish i had stones to do a valve job.

Nice work. Where do you get your diamond stones for the AN?

I learn something on every video! Thanks! That's going to be a nice little small block

The methods you are using to build those engines are tried and true for sure, nice job. I have one of those SHP blocks that slung a rod and tore up the bottom of the cylinders on 5 and 6, its 4.030" now and i want to try and sleeve it but would like to take it out to 4.155". Do you think that one of those blocks have enough meat to sleeve it for 4.155"? I also have a GM 184 HD bowtie block with similar damage and would like to do the same with it if possible. Just wonder what size sleeve could be used for this. Thanks for the video.....

Nice

Cool..

great video, another great looking product out of mccarthy performance!

nice finish at the end Pat!!

thank you for the pointer!

@Mccarthy Performance. When you measure piston to deck clearance with the dial indicator bridge how much do you factor in for piston rock when selecting head gasket thickness. Example if the piston at TDC is flush with the deck above the pin axis and want to end up with a piston to head clearance of .038" is that the gasket thickness you'd buy?

Nice job pat thanks for sharing your knowledge

It is the attention to details that make a good engine, not just slapping it together, nice job.

Very interesting. I've never even thought about measuring the I.D. of the small end on a press-fit application. Time to change my ways. You're correct, nothing worse than getting a pin stuck half-way into the rod during installation. Always seems to happen on 1 or 2 out of eight. I'll try this method. Thanks for the tip.

i was sweating watching you work that fast!..lol..good job mccarthy performance !

I always enjoy your videos. You provide a number of common-sense tips. Makes me think about the way I do things. That's a nice dial bore gauge. Would like to have one, but that type is very expensive.

Beautiful, simply beautiful!

Is this engine for sale?

Nice to see a proper machine work done, it is a dying art.

Used many set when I resized w/ New bolts we put typing paper between cap and rod resized out of round on purpose to give extra clearance at parting line of rod and cap

Any special gas for the silicon bronze? Straight argon?

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing

DONT WORRY ABOUT THE HATERS THEY WILL ALWAYS CRY -- YOU DO YOU - MOST OF US LOVE WHAT YOU DO

NICE WORK I WONDERED WHAT I WOULD DO WITH THE DART BLOCK FOR THAT - I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF INSTALLING VENT TUBES ON MY OEM 400 BLOCK - SUBSCRIBED

I did something very similar on my BBC with the oval windows like that. I didn't put screen on the top rhough. I drilled an extra drain hole in the rear. No idea how much benefit there was but I know it didn't hurt anything

Nice job. Looks great. Have a good evening.

Good stuff..

Do us the Storm Vulcan for blocks and the Berco for heads? Could you please ell me what valve grinder you prefer?

Nice job, this shows that nothing in these days is a direct bolt on, everything must be checked, measured and prepped.

Enjoy your videos! Boy if you can find a Kwikway EBF boring stand (locates block off mains) you'll sell that Rottler.

what are you using for a cleaner on the brush?

The sound tells all

Good stuff..

you got a single bit in the 85B?

What chemical do you have in that tank?

I'm curious. How often, if ever, do those torque plates get 'calibrated/validated'? Is there a process to verify their integrity? I'm not challenging anything, I'm just curious if it's even a thing.

Good stuff..

getting that work out in..lookin good!

wow Pat, that chemical does a nice job!

Who would make a video 41 seconds long? Just stupid

What kind of bath is that? Thanks
