This is why I don’t like engine build videos, the product is great but the comments are full of people who are used to Enginemasters, and horsepower TV short dyno runs, not actual long lasting engines. Instead of looking at the video and judging whether to buy it, or not and potentially ruin a company, look at the reviews, the reviews are excellent.
Saw that. Maybe a tad in the corners by the front/rear seals thats all Intake gaskets go on dry most times too. Silicone shrinks over time and with some heat cycles they will eventually leak
If these people really knew what they were doing, they would use different parts and make more of everything ! Great bottom end, Not so with top end, and cam. I ve built winning race and street motors since 1970, in case you think Im just blowing hot air !
Wow no lock plate under cam bolts? I think a good one may cost 6 bucks and no cam button? May cost 10 bucks for a good roller then the important part, are those Chinese heads right out of the box? I don't see dart or afr on the end of them and is that a China knock off air gap intake? It should only cost what? $4 to $4500 with China top end waiting to suck a valve or break a keeper or spring. I didn't see any jessel rockers or girdles so we have a 6000rpm max? My 406 just starts coming on at 6000rpm on up to 9500. I don't know if I can go backwards to save a buck
Why stop at 434 when they have 454 sb now? Because 427 is the bad boy. That's what I build for higher rpm. Haven't had as good a luck with the bigger ones
@@cuzz63 Timing gear sets often have manufacturing tolerance which can be off, crank keyway tolerance, cam tolerance, if all the tolerances are off in the same direction, the cam timing can be off several degrees, see it all the time. It is actually more rare to get a set that is exactly on spec for Intake Centerline.
@@donavan2676 I would imagine a company that builds crate motors does tolerance checks on parts. I could be wrong though I am not in that business but I do work on manufacturing.
@@Shade_tree_garage01 there is no such thing as frost plugs. Those are core plugs so you can get the sand out of the block after casting. Has nothing to do with freezing
@@coryament good for you, you know what they’re used for! That’s great! I’m so proud of you, almost like there’s other terms and people know what they were used for but the terminology has become colloquially known over the last 200 years of existence from Engines!
@@Shade_tree_garage01 Sir, you broke my decoder ring! Anyway... thoughts on whether rolling heads on a 427 build to 21 degrees is worth time & effort, or am I working too hard avoiding a pair of 18 degree?

Buy it , Bring it home , take it apart , check it , put it back together .

Thank you, it really is a robust product!
Silicone on rubber gaskets is a no no.
Saw that. Maybe a tad in the corners by the front/rear seals thats all

Did anyone check rod to cam clearance?
How much for engine

Silicone everywhere?
What the hell is a frost plug
How about this setup with 434 inches
Why stop at 434 when they have 454 sb now? Because 427 is the bad boy. That's what I build for higher rpm. Haven't had as good a luck with the bigger ones
bore & stroke?
427 sbc is 4.125 in bore x 4 in stroke
You don’t degree the cam?
Thinking that too. Important step in a build
Yes that is must!!!! 0:53
Probably not if they spec the cams from the cam company and then do regular quality checks.

not frost plugs. core plugs
Freeze, frost and core plugs are used interchangeably, don’t be one of those “eNgInE nOt MoToR” guy.

@@coryament now I don’t care what folk call them, freeze, frost or core plugs, we all know what it refers to, now stop while you’re ahead.
