    Hey Steve great video thank-you. I have a question regarding pin oiling. What have you found to be the very best option in that area? Have you ever created anything to directly mist/spray oil under the crown? And as far as pistons go, what option for oiling do think makes the most sense for these motors if they are 'mostly' driven on the street with some abuse(I mean that in the most respectful and mindful way)?

    Did you catch that note about chamfering the bearings from Salter race engines? He made mention about chamfering the leading edge so the rotation of the crank forces oil to the back side for the thrust bearings or something like that. Ive also read about the benefits of running narrowed bearings but wonder what that would change with my engines 5w20 oil requirements...

    • @Tunerfreak99
      @Tunerfreak99 หลายเดือนก่อน

      20 weight oil is an EPA and Fuel economy oil. The manufacturers will save a minute amount of fuel and emit a fraction less with low viscosity oils. However, this oil offers much less protection long term. It’s up to you but I run one step heavier weight oil in my engines that came with a 0w-20 recommendation. In fact my engine called for 0-30 until 3 years ago when it magically got switched to 0-20

    what I see the gaps on rings was too small. gapless rings require much more ring gap than normal rings (and that isn't issue because you have 2 overlapping rings instead one)

    when I am up at the carb and I pull this cable I can feel a slight resistance from it and if I lightly pull a 1/4" to 1/2" more I can feel it stop. I assume this is the lever first touching the valve plunger. is this where I would crimp the cable line, then do the adjustment at full open throttle? From the look of the video, I want that lever to just touch the plunger as its normal/forever spot till throttle is applied?

  • @Eastcoastgarag3
    @Eastcoastgarag3 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for showing everyone my build. It took some serious power. This is proof that even a mild transmission build without all the billet parts can and will survive for some time if built correctly. Hopefully, it gets all the billet goodies it needs for the next weakest link to be discovered.

    • @stevevsautomotive1998
      @stevevsautomotive1998 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Bruce, it's not a mild transmission. It doesn't have a brake or billet front half(which is why it broke), calibration is on point for engine power as shown by the clutches. I took another apart from a well respected builder and his direct clutches looked no better than mine.

    Code for my BMW e34 reads "26 SOLENOID VALVE CONVERTER LOCKUP CLUTCH". Symptoms are that when cold, it goes into Trans Program (locked in 3rd gear, limp mode), shift lock doesn't function and the digital gear selection disappears from the dash display but when the engine warms up to operating temperature, all works fine again and shifts beautifully. Leads me to believe it isn't the solenoid. Can you point me in a direction?

      Can help identify a tight crank. Any bits of lint or crap that has become trapped could make the crank run tight, which will quickly destroy it. Most people just give it a spin with their hands and call it done though.

    Man, I legit just lucked into some ported aluminum heads, and I had to buy them right away. They need valve guides apparently but hopefully they work out for me. The availability for everything for these cars is getting ridiculous, cams are hard to get to. We are stuck with only 1 supplier for heads and intakes because of the low demand due the size of our market.
