Be sure to check the cam for straight on some v-blocks. I find a lot of the steel ones are not straight and need a bit of tweaking. That can contribute to that tight feeling in the block.
Awesome video Josh i really appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos Your attention to detail is why i want you to do the mods on my truck when your new shop is up and running 👍 As always take care stay safe and God bless you always 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Look into the swag off-road replacement press plates for the press. The factory ones are cast iron and prone to breakage which can chuck large chunks at high speed.
Steve is a good guy. Taking my extra block to him this spring for some work. Cant keep up with you man,but great to see ya back at it and hopefully all is well in great SW Va
Glad to see you're back at it Josh and settled into your new home. love the content and good luck on getting the crank to block clearance straightened out
So for building an engine like this and a hot retorque needed on the head studs and relashing the valves, why not set this thing up on a simple steel engine stand and the ecu wired up. Could even make a long enough extension harness to have the ecu still attached through the truck for ignition and codes reading. Might save time in breaking in the engine
Awesome Josh I have been planning my move in June two households and I am sympathetic to all of what you had to do but good for you taking on the new challenges. Can’t wait for the new shop as I’m sure you are excited.
hell yaa buddy !! exciting stuff rite here ~! you guys ever heard of a 500K 53 block lmfao i daily it still !! got a block build going on now this gives great motivation !!
Josh, I have an 06’ 5.9 with a g56. I just installed a smarty s06 with catcher and it’s a beast after 2k rpm but it’s a smoky DOG at low rpm. Any suggestions other than compounds?
what tap do you use for bottom tapping? is there a tap that is made for bottom tapping, or is it really just a term for cleaning the holes to the bottom with a regular tap.
Not sure if it's a problem with all of them presses, but I was pressing bearings on a dana 60 carrier and one of those chinisium steel plates broke and piece damn near smacked me in the head. Good press otherwise but something to watch out for.
@@horsetorquesdiesel LOL don't I feel dumb. Anyways, about your rod piston assemblies. Ever consider weighing them as assemblies(rod, pin rings bolts and all) and Dremel them to the tenth of a gram? Since you got to wait for machining of the crank or block you got some time to kill. Assume more balanced is more stable at higher rpms. Firepunk is building past 6k rpms. I want to see you beat them. I mean in the challenges. Not the rpm. but 6k seems to be a good target since math. rpm x torque/5252 or something like that.
Two things just asking ?! sorry three ! did you just drill the crank for the pin ? and you are relying on harbour freight keys ?! and thats not an inside micrometer !
I don't see any reason why upgrading to an Epiq would be beneficial for your current 'storage' situation. I think if you invested more thought/time into how your box is laid out/organized and exactly what you're using to organize said tools, would most likely result in more usable space/storage. I do love Epiq's, their lift latch drawer pulls and 30" drawer depth is killer but, eventually you'll end up running into the same problem due to lack of organization. Adding a side locker and or cab to your current Snappy makes more sense. By no means am I hating or telling you how to spend your money. Just my 2 cents. Take care, man.
You have like $20,000 in block alone I have junkyard 5.3 ls running on 3 cylinders it has 2 Wuhan war whistles And it makes all the bald eagles 🦅 we are not the same. But still very nice 👍🏿
3000 hp? I highly doubt that claim...you have dyno proof of that? because that would be more incredible than just knowing where the gas pedal is 3000 hp the pistons would be coming out the side of block you should have put the money into a highway tractor so all that smoke might have been able to make your money back
Great video Josh!!! Thanks for showing the build in such detail!
As a machinist you should really used tapping fluid vw wd-40

Yes sir
A lot of prep work ! Well done Josh 👍🏻
Awesome video Josh i really appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos
Your attention to detail is why i want you to do the mods on my truck when your new shop is up and running 👍
As always take care stay safe and God bless you always 🙋♂️🇬🇧
See ya soon!
That's a lot of great info. Thanks for the effort.
Not sure if i missed it in a previous video, where could we find this crank measuring cheat sheet? Thanks!
Good to see you back Josh! Looking good on the new build!
Can't wait to see this thing smack 3k+ on the dyno soon. Great work as always.
Glad to see you'll be back at UCC!
Back to master engine building. Creative use of the press. It isn't crazy if it works. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.
👍💪. Good stuff!!
Looks great!
Awesome, based on what you've posted on IG, I look forward to your next video.

I was stoked to see you had posted a new video! You must be getting settled into the new adventure. Great looking sweatshirt.
It’s my favorite when it’s cold

I don’t have the front stuff on for re torque so it’s easy

I’ve seen a few they are 50/50 depending on witch place it was casted
My 53 block 3000k
@@northwestcustom8531 really didnt think that was a thing thought all 53's were screwed lol hahaha im from the first gen stuff
Hopefully in time you will find your way in va. Big changes hurt.
WD-40 is not a lube oil, it’s more of a solvent.
Wrong
Love that you're using Hamilton products though. 😘
Just the block. When sleeved and some good pistons they are strong

Turn off low boost fueling
Hell Yeah Brother
Hey Josh awesome content. Quick question, are you going to try for the 3000hp chassis dyno or what's the goal for the truck this go round?
Chassis
I would hate to see this one end up like master shredder
what tap do you use for bottom tapping? is there a tap that is made for bottom tapping, or is it really just a term for cleaning the holes to the bottom with a regular tap.
They are called bottoming taps
Not sure if it's a problem with all of them presses, but I was pressing bearings on a dana 60 carrier and one of those chinisium steel plates broke and piece damn near smacked me in the head. Good press otherwise but something to watch out for.
I could see that 😂
If you’re talking about they black plates you set things on, they are made out of cheap cast iron and are well know fo let go at the worst time
So this is what you were doing the night before I came down!! Lol she's gonna be nasty!!
way to make it happen

I fore see that block not holding to that power lvl sorry bud. All billet aluminum is your best bet
Not enough Column strength in the billet
3000 hp on that block? Has amyone got to 3000 yet on a 5.9 -6.7?
chris paterson
Chris Patterson did back in October. Same block
I aint far from new performance small world
Why do the steam holds need to be drilled
Coolant flow
....... phew, I have a couple 3 stone hones.....
So you don’t use plastigauge. I remember using brass shoes on the vise.
No
What is the purpose of the steam holes?
Coolant flow

@@ChannelZeroOne I’ve already ran over 6k with no problem. It’s not really hard, all my sled pulls are 6250 soft limiter
Woah! Mustache!

Yes, yes, outside mic.

Anyone know a good engine builder in AZ that’s familiar with Cummins
Tier one diesel
Thanks bud
Yall taking orders for engine builds?
Yes we are call the shop!

Chris Paterson does
That’s the goal of the engine. Semi trucks are lame
Pullers have made maybe 15 years ago.
First 3000hp was done 6 months ago on chassis dyno by Chris Patterson.
Hello Josh, do you have an email for cooperation?
You have a good video channel.
