    Peter, on this video you mentioned somebody poking at you for continuously reminding us of our material FM, my personal opinion I have been watching your videos and I thank you for all your knowledge and experience, you have taught me a lot in engine building I am a collision repair expert and mechanic, however I am NOT an expert in engine building, and you have taught me a lot and actually given me the confidence to build a motor, and I just wanted to say no matter who pokes at you keep up the good work because there are many people out here and I'm sure you know they appreciate it your end result speaks for itself and if your technique works don't fix it matter what anybody says and I thank you very much.

      +John Giordano That is awesome John...thank you very much. I always say I've never had an engine fail because it's too clean. Newer engines are designed with clearances in microns and only allow for a couple molecules of oil through the bearings. One micro-fiber and you'll spin a bearing. I appreciate your comment...thank you my friend

    Its been a few years since I tuned into Petes Garage.
    I'm glad I'm back.
    Petes knowledge is second to none when it comes to engines and mechanical things especially the automotive performance end of things.
    It's through Pete's experience we can all gain some crucial knowledge/insight of the entire W-5 of engine engineering components and their function, their performance and building an engine to be a bulletproof solid hunk of iron and aluminum.
    I'm a SBC V8 builder, gen one old school engine builder, naturally aspirated is my niche, and the 406 sbc is my baby.
    About 5 years ago I built my first all roller engine and the learning curve was tough.
    So much of what I knew would not work in a roller engine and had few people to ask.
    It was during that time I started watching videos to get the information in my head that I was somewhat confused about.
    You never stop learning something new every single day of your life, and the day you think you know it all is the day you should start over because you are only fooling yourself or feeding an ego.
    There is not one thing you can do to an engine during the building process that won't affect the outcome.
    Knowing those things is the key to success, and learning all those things is the hard part because everything changes as soon as you change one component to something different.
    Camshaft, cylinder heads, bore, and stroke is the backbone of any motor.
    If you want performance street or strip pay close attention to the specs you want to use to make it perform the way you want, and don't be afraid to ask questions. The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask.

      @@PetesGarage Thank-You Pete.
      There are many inaccurate videos on engine building and geometry on youtube.
      You have taken the time to explain to the layperson real data, specs and consequences which I appreciate.
      Engine building is not something anyone should take for granted and I know that through trial and error very well.
      I've been watching some of the videos you have made, and only wish I had watched them 40 years ago when I was a teen thinking I knew it all. BUT there was no internet or even videos back in the day.
      The oil pan painting video about sandblasting media is one I take to heart having made that very mistake with the outcome of torn up rod bearings in less than 200 miles when I was 18.
      It was a punch in the head preparing for the Friday night drags at the Luskville Drag strip I'd been working toward all winter. luskvilledragway.com/lead%20news.htm
      That mistake cost me the year back to square one on a shoestring budget.
      It took some time to figure out what I did wrong, but when I did it was an insult to injury and never made that mistake again.
      A tiny little thing like a few grains of blasting media can ruin an engine in record time with little evidence left behind.
      Thanks, again Pete.

      @@PetesGarage Ain't that the truth. It was the school of hard knocks and not the knocks you wanted to hear.
      It is absolutely amazing what the aftermarket performance industry has turned into.
      I ported my first set of Camel Hump heads at age 16. I had heard of it being done but never seen it. It was through that experience I was the go-to guy for Small Block Chevy Head Porting. I was so sick of it I never wanted to see another head again, BUT that was what was available back then.
      Aside from aftermarket cams, pistons intakes exhaust and dual point, distributors, there were few other options back yard mechanics had available to him or her to have the fastest car in town.
      There were always machine shops, but who could afford that. It was not cheap to get a block bored.
      The trick was to find the right block, 327, 283, 350, 400 with good heads, the rest was up to you. 441 heads were okay, but the big valve fuelie heads were the best then.
      WOW HAS THAT CHANGED SINCE THEN.?!?.

    So I've been watching all of your engine building videos from 1 to this one so far and I just wanted to say these are awesome. I've learned a lot about car engines and I really appreciate that you took time out to make these videos and to go into as much detail as you do. Thank you for all the knowledge you've shared. I hardly knew anything about engines and I feel like now I have a good basis to know how to ask somewhat detailed questions and to learn even further. I've always been interested in learning about this subject but never really knew where to start. I'm still unsure about what exactly the camshaft does or what "rockers" are, but you've provided a great foundation for someone who knew close to nothing to start understanding how engines work. Amazing videos, and I plan to watch the rest soon!

    This guy a real pro.
    This video series is very comprehensive, and very concise. Pete repeats himself occasionally, but not too much. I've learned more from this series than ever! Of course, I'm a total greenhorn so it's not like I know much to start with.
    I'm looking seriously at this info with the intent of tuning up a Suzuki Cappuccino with stock F6A 3-cylinder (factory ITB and turbo) to safely increase the HP from 64 to 100+, which is commonly done, so I know it can work reliably and safely.
    Being walked through a big ol' V8 build makes me pretty confident that I could do a dinky little I3 Suzi.
    Thanks a million Pete!

    Thanks for making this video! I'm a 42 y.o. ER Nurse by profession and not a mechanic by any means. I bought a 97 RS Camaro project car for my girlfriend's 20 yr old son. I wanted him to have an "Old School Ride". It appeared to be a lemon. At least at first. The engine would vibrate the entire car, I thought it was the mounts. After dissecting, repairing what I can, tightening her up each time. The vibration never resolved. After more research we found Cylinder#1 has 135lb compression while others have 167-180lbs. So after everything the motor needs a rebuild. "The motor needs to come out". Now I am finding out even more info- cams. OMG they make the 3800 series ll sound mean as hell. Thanks for explaining this stuff to me. I look forward to my first rebuild, and I want to see the look on my gf's son's face when he heards this car when it's done.

    Thanks, Pete. That was one of the best crash courses in Camshaft operation I've seen yet.
    If anyone wanted to know how a cam works and why it's so important to get right this is the video to watch.
    Camshaft options are a difficult choice when building a modified engine.
    I build SBC V8's Currently building another 406. It's a street strip mainly strip build but has to get from, race track to race track under its own steam without having to change heads, etc. A camshaft can kill low-end torque when designed to run at a higher rpm, it can also rob you of vacuum, power brakes and other undesirable things you want on the street.
    Bigger is not always better, in fact, it rarely is for something you want to drive somewhere from point a to point b.
    Those can be hard lessons to learn, which I did without a mentor.
    Pete's video is a great way to get a really good understanding of what's going on and why.
    Thanks again Pete great video.

    I have...but I work closely with the machine shop so fine tuning and machining can be done before I assemble. It saves money to plan if you can use stock parts. I would suspect most people guess and end up shorting themselves on the full potential of a cam.

    Important stuff from vid. When looking at duration ALWAYS compare the .050 duration.Closer lobe separation narrows the "power band" of the engine but gives more peak torque.
    Nothing sounds sweeter than a V8 with a tight (less lobe separation) at idle. Its that muscle car "loping sound" you hear because of the valve overlap.

    Before installing the timing chain, fit both gears and put a straight edge across both gears to see if they line up. I have found a couple of engines where the block casting was incorrect and the gears where out of alignment, (289,302 Windsor blocks). From what I can figure out, the original ford timing chain installed by Ford was more tolerant to this misalignment than the aftermarket double row timing chains. What happens is the camshaft gear develops a "wobble" and thus breaks off the alignment dowel pin in the end of the camshaft, when it does the crankshaft keeps spinning but the camshaft stays still, not good, for the pistons hit the open valves.
    Great videos, thanks, Peter :)

    The cam has 4 deg ground in it so at TDC the valve events will happen sooner in the crank cycle. By moving the crank sprocket ahead 2 notches it adds another 4 deg, so at TDC for cylinder 1 the cam is 8 deg ahead of where it would normally be.

    ***** Salute to you Peter from Britain, even though i'm only thirteen and had passion for cars since I was a small child, thank you for your demo on engine building, as I really want to build my own car with my own engine when I reach the appropriate age, I've learnt a lot from your demo since it helps my dad and I, study the defects in mechanical parts and also learning with extra detail from you is helping me to reach my success. Cheers to you!!

      Hey, I have all factory setup with miles at 160,000. So my question, I would like to rebuild with same setup, but would like to upgrade to next cam up from factory, and would like to see if you can give specs. on type of cams. I do a lot of hauling wood, hay, 4-wheeling, hauling a horse trailer and other stuff used for truck. It would help me greatly.

    There are two different types of variable valve timing. The one I described and one with a 2 stage cam. The 2 stage cam has 2 sets of lobes and a spring loaded RFF (rocker) that changes timing and valve opening, more like the VTEC you are referring to. It is being used with variable displacement systems to increase fuel economy.

    Nice job pete, the long bolt is a nice trick, and thanks viewer for sharing. I have always cringed putting them in. I'll be installing mine here shortly and well use it. It hit me watching you, still cringing on the last couple journals, maybe it would be easier to install it before putting it on the stand. stand the block up on its end. use the bolt a d let gravity do the work, no lumps. then put it on the stand. just a thought.

    (On the cam card) 302 HO for High Output, not HD for Heavy Duty. The HOs had the same firing order as the 351W and therefore the roller cams for these will work in either. Great video!

    No the Chevy with Pete Jackson gear drives they have an offset button that fits into the big gear. The locating pin on the cam fits into this button and the offset will determine the degrees as to advanced or retared. They come with different buttons straight up and different off set. Belt drive set ups are done differently.

    When you spoke about valve float, i just remembered that the float effect has various degrees of complications to an engine, such as burnt valves, spinning valves, valves not closing completely, RPM limiting (due to the valve not closing fast enough), etc. Will you do a video on Valve float, what are the effects of valve float, how to determine correct spring pressure and how to correct valve float?

    Another stellar video man, and I know this is old, buts it's new to me. Also on FM, couldn't agree more. But it really scares me. I think about my 1st complete overhaul 3 years ago, a 4 cylinder in a pickup I still drive. And I've been thinking on how unclean, and uncareful I was. It amazing that engine is still running, and well I might add. I'm sure it was just luck.
