- This video demonstrats how to remove the timing chain cover seal and reinstall a new seal, install a timing chain, install a crankshaft gear, install camshaft gear, install timing chain, align crankshaft gear to camshaft gear, install valve lifters, oushrods, and rocker arms, remove and replace oil pump screen and pickup tube, install the oil pump, install cylinder heads, install motor mounts, install exhaust manifolds, install a vibration damper, install a water pump, and install an intake manifold.
For those of you that have produced negative comments, may we see the videos that you did on assembling an engine? I thought not, while you may not agree with this assembly, I feel that it was very well planned and executed if you have a thought or improvement provide it. Having said that if you cannot provide a better service then your negative comments are no different then your criticisms. Making them both worthless. Thank you for your series of videos I felt they were very informative.
You have the best rebuild engine videos i seen so far you took your time and exsplained everything good and clear thanks
I like the way you adjust and pushrods no effort lost in sequence 😎
Thanks, done it a few times
It looks like this guy has put together a lot of engine's... Very good videos thank you, wanting to do my first build and have been watching a ton of videos.. This one is by far the best
Take you time, step my step, next thing you will be rebuilding them for your friends.
even do its al long time ago when this video was posted, i dare to try it myself.
i bought an old sbc 350 and we are making a start.
thanks David !!
Go for it. Just watch the videos and take your time.
Mr. Lis thanks for Sharing this knowledge It's a great showing of Americana know how and Can Do spirit of owning a Chevy and doing work on Your Machine. Jah Guide and Blessings. As in Every great Quest The Pieces are to the puzzle come as You Journey Your piece is greatly appreciated.
David thanks for helping me I truly admire you this cup of coffee's for you you the man
I do this to help as many people as I can. This is done along side my house, in my garage, and in my driveway. It is not done in a professional shop with the latest and greatest facilities and tools. I want to give people confidence so they can do this themselves. I am happy that you benefited from the video.
I am a universe person - what does around comes around. If you help people get what they want, someday, somewhere, someone, will give you what you want.
Great job, done the way most of us have to do it. You used most of the tools the back yard wrench would have. No expensive tools you would only use once. Your a brave man doing this by the wife's plants. I love how you did this old and slow way and all the info given at the build time. Thanks Again.
I just had to clean the concrete when I was done. And the plants survived.
Best I have seen so far in my 40 years experience thank you for you time .there will always be those know it all baffoons that will post negative bs ..thanks again
Thank you
I would like to see the videos from the people that criticize my video.
Good job Dave, no frills, no BS, getting it done.
I want to make it so anyone that wants to rebuild an engine will have the confidence to do it.
12:18 you didn't torque the last bolt to the bottom left.
I'm currently taking automotive program and your videos are much help.thanks
I am glad they help you. There is nothing like watching someone do it.
David this video series is great. I see a lot of people trying to correct everything you did throughout the entire build. There were some precautionary things that could have been done better but I would have to make it a point that completing the build outside with two ratchets, a few sockets, a screwdriver and two hammers, makes you one hell of a dude in my book. Especially if your wife let you live after getting antifreeze all over the driveway. :) And if half these people knew what the hell they were doing, they wouldn't be watching your video in such detail in the first place. Old school my friend.
Thank you.
I wanted to show the procedure for a regular person who wants to rebuild a motor. I want to give them confidence to do it themselves. Many videos show it done in a super clean shop with all the special tools, who is going to give it a try watching them?
Driveway - my wife is real nice about it. I usually clean if after every major job. It mix Clorox and wash machine detergent together in a shallow pan and then pore it on the bad spots and rub it in with my foot. Let is soak in for a while and see how much come off. Next day, when it is dry, I pore kitty litter on the same spots and rub it in again and let that set. I then sweep it up and it is ready to go for another oily job.
Thank u sir I'm sure you'll help a lot of people do this instilling hope and confidence it's not hard just have to follow procedures...thanks again
Just follow the steps. You can do it.
I love the detailed video, Very educational! I look forward to seeing more. Keep up the good work brother!
Thank you I made the video so anyone that wanted to can do it themselves.
I thought your suppose to put thread sealer on them because they pass thru the water jacket and lube the heads
I never do. What is the chance that you are going to do this job over again? Unless you are racing and you blow them up.
great video. so instructional very educational
Thank you sir, very educational. If my father only had the patience.
Glad you like it.
great video agree with it being the best engine series of videos only thing I would have done different was to show checking end gap on crank shaft and i was taught to soke hydraulic lifters in oil before installing them
Thank you. Didn't even think about it.
I used to soke the lifters in oil for a day but now I prime the engines before starting so they fill up with oil. I know they are full when I see the oil coming up through the push rods to the rocker arms.
I made a movie on this subject.
Sounds exactly like Walter White! Great video series David! Thanks very much
Thanks
Breaking Bad - I starting watching that and I said why am I doing this until about the 3 episode, then I was hooked to watch the entire series. The thing that got me really mad was that he did not quit early and but fought it out until the end. Don't be so greedy, Take the money and run. Places like Tahiti do not have extradition rights. I was there, I think I could do that with several million.
Best how to vid I've seen so far and loving that greasy little oil can I want one hahaha 🤘
I got that oil can from my dad. It has to be at least 65 years oil.
Yeah you definitely don't see those now adays gotta love the vintage stuff that's well built
Today, everything is throw away, one use, plastic, wonder why are landfills are full.
Hey David I was wondering what book you used to rebuild this engine. I am rebuilding my first engine and I am pretty clueless on how to do it. This video helps and I was wondering if u could maybe help me out and give me some tips and pointers, and I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer.
1. What kind of oil do you use to lubricate everything.
2. What is the importance of using the plastic measuring thing to calculate the clearing on the crankshaft, and where do u get the stuff to do it.
3. Where do. You get a ring compressor
4. Where did u learn to do all this
awesome video David i learned a lot
I only have one subjection speed wrench saves a lot of time.
When doing head bolts they go in 3 steps 25#, 45#, 65#, never do then all at once to full torque. Also most head bolt have a washer under them to sped out the force.
I have been rebuilding engines for 30 years, never once did I see a washer used, head bolts are a flanges style of bolt, and hardened, they are also all torque to yield, I have rebuild. Mopar, Ford and GM, not once did I see a washer......
Chevy does not have washers on head bolts dum ass
This dude can build my motor anytime! No bs....., 500k mile motor right thare..
Here is the end result:
th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
well there's another dude on TH-cam who really builds engines and explains professionally how to do it my vintage iron 7512 that dude knows his stuff and explains everything in detail and why I mean this guy's building engines outside I'm surprised that engine don't blow in the first month what about for material he put his fingers on the bearings not cool also head bolts should be coated with the Teflon coating on the top portion of the threads and a little oil on the bottom threads some of those bolts go through water galleries when putting in pistons you gotta clean those bars and clean them again everything has to be clean it's like doing an operation any amateur could do what he did it's the little things that keeping Engine running for a long time also on flat tappet with this you need to put a zinc additive otherwise that cam shaft will wear out instantly. even ring gap you can't just throw the rings in the cylinder you gotta make sure they're square before you put your feeler gauge in the gap , you can't eyeball stuff it's got to be precise
+John Giordano you put exactly one period and one comma in your entire rant
+John Giordano I have 2, 500 miles on the motor so far and it is running great. So I must have done something right. When I was in high school, I rebuilt several of them for me and my friend with no problems.
Lol
I think I wrote that comment about a year ago LOL. And I'm not on TH-cam claiming to be in English teacher or a punctuation expert LOL...! Nor am I claiming to be an expert mechanic however I've worked on Motors oh excuse me engines and collision repair my whole life I know if somebody wait forgot a, who cares anyway getting back to the point, if I was showing or describing how I repair something and an individual has a different method or technique, I would happily take the ride Vice even constructive criticism is helpful at times so why can't you just admit your Technique regarding cleanliness or preparation to avoid foreign material needs Improvement. Even a hair can be tragic.
Don't tell somebody rebuilding and ENGINE on TH-cam that they did an insufficient job. That only serves to make you look foolish. .....This man built and ENGINE outside, with his bare hands, using minimal tools and zero fancy equipment. I doubt This motor is going into a cup car And I'm sure it will suit this gentleman just fine.
thanks ....great videos & great help
Still no assembly lube? You should use lube on all bearing surfaces, especially the lifter base where it's going to contact the camshaft. It's especially critical on the cam and lifters because those are metal to metal surfaces, unlike crankshaft bearings, and they need initial protection on first startup.
looked to me like he put oil on them
He did but the oil is thin enough that it will eventually drip off completely. Assembly lube has thicker characteristics that allow more adhesion to the metal surfaces and therefore more protection when the engine is first started up.
512kjt right! I thought assembly lube was common knowledge
I took auto shop in High School. We rebuilt a couple of small block Chevy engines. We used a startup lube that was really thick and bright yellow. We used to call it "Gorilla Snot".
Really awesome and in great detail! Thanks.
Lord i have learned so much thank you
Seeing is the best way to learn
Is the cam lock optional? I’ve seen some videos where they install a cam lock with the timing chain. This video is so helpful.
I never hear of a cam lock. What is that?
David Lis it is just a little piece of metal that mounts on the front of the cam and has a little button on the front as well. I don’t know much about building an engine at all, but I saw someone else use it on their cam. Thanks you for the videos. As a result of your video, I feel like I can do it myself and I am going to try my first build very soon.
@@kosworkshop Take your time and keep on coming back to the video for help. You can do it, not that hard.
Hi David, I found your video very useful was wondering if there's a 3rd part to it, if so can you please point me in the right direction I plan on sharing your videos with a bunch of people I network with.
Thanks
Hey Mark, looks like David doesn't respond to comments but there's another guy that built up a 383 stroker which is also a small block Chevy, His channel is caponeauto and he builds them like I have with plenty of assembly lube and back-checking of the clearances and machine work. If you don't mind the f-bomb every other sentence he does a good job with his build. He also has some where he goes through a GM crate motor and cleans up a few issues. Check him out.
Thanks I'll check it out
There's A 3rd video
Do the cylinders need to have a coat of some type of lubrication before installing the cylinder heads ?
Is that a 1/4 drive Craftsman ratchet? If not, let me know. I want one.
Thank you very much for the informative videos ..
Hope it give you confidence to do it yourself.
Question how can you tell witch head is the passenger side or driver side key be a stupid question but I appreciate your unswer thanks and keep up the good work
Both are the same.
Thanks for the video, very helpful
you put in the piece of wire in the spark plug hole to feel if the piston is in the up position but does it need to be in the up position just like piston number one tdc ? just wanne make sure i do it right can i also use a tdc piston stop instead of the wire ?
I have some red engine paint in my garage for your chain cover. Can I email some to you? Great video
Thanks - I hope it helps you.
I love this guy
Whats your cam and lifter set up? Also what length push rods are you running? Im building a very similar engine right now.
Hi David when installing the lifters and pushrods after taking all the slack out you need to turn 3/4 off a turn . but what do you do when finish installing al the lifters and pushrods and rotate the crank a full turn but there is still a little play in the rockers and pushrods you can move the pushrod with your thump and finger . do you tighten them a little further in the firing order method ? everytime you install lifters in the firing order the piston need to be in the up position is this correct ? . i am doing a standard rebuild of a chevy 305 sb in a trans am and was following your video's on how to .Many thanks in advanced
After you rotate the engine a few times and you have slack in the rockers, tighten until there is no slack, then tighten 3/4 turn.
When the piston is on the up position and both valves are closed (this is when the spark plug will fire) this is the best time to make your 3/4 turn adjustment. You can check this by looking at the lifters themself and see that they are both down into the block.
Understand?
you did not have to seal the head bolts from water leakage?
I never do
excellent love your work!!!!
What all did you have the machine shop do for this block and also did you reuse all.of the original parts for the heads, springs, lifters, push rods etc.
Bored the cylinders to .030" over, and the crankshaft was destroyed, installed new cam bearing, new freeze out plugs, cleaned oil passages in block, and changed the new pistons on old rods. I redid the heads myself, used same keepers, springs and valves, put on new seals. Purchased a new rebuild kit, piston (oversized), rings, crank and bearing, camshaft and bearings, new lifters, same push rods, new timing chain and sprockets, oil pump, fuel pump and water pump. A lot of internal parts. I wanted to keep the car as original as possible, the numbers match. I really don't want a SS because I like to drive this as much as I can and I don't burn the tires that much.
This is a California car so I did not have to take it off the frame because it is not rusted on the bottom. It still has most of the original tar from the factory. The sun eats the paint and the interiors over time but it is not like the New York where they use salt on the roads. First 29 years of my life. The cars get eaten alive.
I don't work on it much anymore, it does not need anything, all the work is done. Putting gas in it is my main thing. It only gets about 10 to 12 because I drive it aggressively in the city because it is fun.
th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
dont you need to put thread sealer on all the headbolts because they go into water jackets?
Some people do and some people don't. I don't
Double checking the timing marks crankshaft and camshaft how did you turn the engine to double check timeing mark alignment. ?? Thanks.
Put a couple bolts in the crank shaft and use a small bar to turn it over.
I didn't see or hear where you say anything about the required thread locker on the head bolts, which MUST be new head bolts. As, old ones have been streched. Using old head bolts even with locker will cause them to become lose soon over time resulting in very bad engine issues including engine failure.
I don't put any thread locker on the bolts and I even use the old bolts and never had any trouble. If the threads are bad or the head of the bolt in a little rounded, then I use a new bolt. Everyone does it a little different.
David, no camshaft locking tabs?
you showed wiping off head prior to installing, then put your dirty ray on the open intake area?
not wanting to beat you up the video was actually pretty good, for a beginer to learn. This is a real low budjet rebuild and that is ok.
\
No Loctite on the Campbell say in his first degree in the camshaft I guess that's strictly out of the question not to mention your idea of Cam lubrication is weird side effect you didn't have nothing to put it in his shoulders anything on it the cams going
Thankyou mr david you are 💪👍
question please! is this engine stand from harbor freight and is the 1000 lbs one ? thanks
nice, just was wondering what heads are those they have pretty big valves in them thats all
Stock 350 V8 - 250 hp. Nothing special
What's your technique with the wire? You feel the piston contact it at the top of it's stroke? Great vids thanks!
I did not use a wire in this video. I believe I used it in the startup video where I took the #1 spark plug out, installed the wire and turn the engine until the wire came all the way to the top. Now you are sure.
Nice job
Thank you. I made the video to show people how to do it.
Are you using regular motor oil to lube everything?
wondering the same thing
Yes
Did you use any thread sealant on the head bolts ?
I never do. Some people do.
Rebuilding an engine in the middle of a gang war lolz
The fire department in the background or airplane landing. It seems that every time I get the camera going action happens.
negative comments : " BRO YOU FORGOT THE OIL BEARING FOR THE CARB INSIDE THE PISTON PUMP" XD ... Thanks for the videos , i can rebuild a engine but love to see how other people rebuild , well differnt methods of rebuilding , oil/lube , blah blah :"D
I think I did something right:
th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
Did you install the valve springs?
th-cam.com/video/yJQlbtONnWI/w-d-xo.html
Good videos
Hope they give you confidence to do it yourself.
A that a 307? Looks like it just wondering
I have always seen that when you install rockers to check your adjustment. the rocker should have no slack but the rod should be able to turn back and forth.. is this not true or just extra precaution? cause I didn't see you do it
In video about 21:28, I tighten the rocker arms until there is no slack but I did not turns the rods back and forth. Since these are hydraulic lifters they need to be tightened. So once you take out the slack, the book says 1 full turn but I only tightened them 3/4 turn.
If these where solid lifters, I would have to get a feeler gauge adjust then to the correct tolerance.
I seen that in one of the later videos. thank you though!!
good video I would like to know if that motor is still alive today!?!
th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
Check this out
Why didn't you wash your hands and use a clean rag to whipe off pistons and head's dirt is the number one killer to a rebuilt motor
Here is my results: th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
What brand ratchet are you using? That thing looks like it's built like a tank.
+Robert Woodbury Snapon. I got it from my dad about 1965, and he had it for years, so I don't know how old it is. Maybe it was on it the first ones they made. It is good to put a pipe on it for the extra hard to get off bolts.
+David Lis Thank you for the reply! It looked like a Snapon. Back when Snapon and Blue Point were an item, they produced that styled ratchet from 1927-1935ish. They are absolutely a rare gym. You're a very lucky man!
Sirens are in the video. Just reminding myself
And the airplanes are going by and the kids are playing. Everytime I get my camera out, everyone comes out to play.
Did you use the old head bolts, or did you use new ones?
Re used the head bolts, main bearing bolts, manifold bolts, etc
th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
Here is my results.
You forgot to back off 3/4 turn on rocker arm nuts on 2 cylinders that Iseen
does it really matter what order you put lifters in
No
thats only because there new, if you are using the original then you have to put them back on exactly how they came off. Good video!!
what book did you use to help assemble engine?
If you are doing a chevy small block go to a book store or auto parts store and get rebuilding a small block chevy.
How's the engine doing so far at this point? Any problems?
It has about 3,500 miles, but I only drive it from April to October and not all the time, it is my 3rd car. I changed the oil at 1,000 with no metallic particles. I usually change the oil at 3,000 miles. No leaks.
David Lis
Good to know, thanks. And i wouldn't expect it to have any leaks either..
to the dude or female that was complaining about my punctuation I didn't realize this was grammar class... and I was just stating a point I'm sure the engine will run and he knows what he's doing however sometimes a little constructive criticism might help people to learn things we're always learning and being taught I've been doing collision repair and working on engines my whole life and suspension that would be about 25 years professionally however I'm sure if somebody criticized and gave me some advice I would take it cuz I'm not an expert and never will be we're always learning so my point is other engine builders take very precautious measures to be clean especially in this bearing installation and he didn't I was just making that point oh here's your commas and periods,,,,.......
+John Giordano Positive criticism is always acceptable. There is always a better way to do things. I do not have all the answers. This is how I was taught how to do it and it has worked for me. I made this video to show people how I do it and not to be afraid to do it yourself.
+John Giordano your quote "however I'm sure if somebody criticized and gave me some advice I would take it cuz I'm not an expert ", also your quote "to the dude or female that was complaining about my punctuation I didn't realize this was grammar class... " Given that you are crying about someone giving you constructive criticism on your poor grammar and lack of English understanding, you have shown that you would not take advice if someone gave it to you.
ON THE LIFTERS THEY HAVE TO PUT THEM IN OIL AND PLUNGE THEM WITH A PUSH ROD TO PLUNGE THE OIL IN THEM BEFORE INSTALLING. THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE LAST 3/4 OF TURN OF THE ROCKER NUT THE ROCKER WOULD PUSH THE VALVE STEM DOWN OPENING THE VALVE WHEN THE LIFTERS FILLED WITH OIL WHEN ENGINE IS CRANKING OVER TO START.
What I do is prime the engine before I start it up using an electric drill and a fake distributor shaft that connects to the oil pump. I let it run until the oil come up through the push rods, this fills up the valve lifters with oil. Your method is another way of doing it. The manual says 1 full turn but everyone that I talked to including the machine shop owner suggest on 3/4 turn.
Did you soak your lifters in oil?
No. I prime the engine before starting. I have a video on that procedure (priming the engine). This fills the lifters and put oil on all the moving parts before I start it up.
where is chapter 3i mean video 3 please reply
Hey david where is the How to Assemble a Chevy Engine Part 3?
I would have $pent the extra and got a true-roller cam,crank set-up..
Where is Part 3?
Aren't u suppose to have sealent on those threads of those head bolts, well mabee it's only for aluminum, hummmm
My friend, who runs a machine and rebuilds engines all day long, does not. Different people do different things. They all work.
Yea, You actualy put a lube on the head bolts. They tend to work their way out over time. The engine will not hold together. It will become lose in critical areas. I once had a guy tell me it was ok to tamp the Harmonic balancer on with a block of wood and a hammer. Assembling an Engine and Building a Engine are two different things. Most everything you did was good except for that. Unless I missed the area where you did instruct on head bolts.
Did something right
th-cam.com/video/vm-YY-xsMyM/w-d-xo.html
loctite the timing chain bolts
You didn't soak the lifters in oil for 24 hours
No. I primed the engine before starting it. The oil came up to each rocker arm through the push rods. This ensures that the lifter are full of oil.
I made a video on priming the engine.
12o'clock cam - not 6o'clock cam
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by
reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated
central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down
all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From
2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as
exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox
oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no
investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even
created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.
I think this green movement to going to far. I do not believe that may people are for this but the politicians are pushing this. Wait until everyone get on electric cars than there will be a electric shortage. Build more nuclear power plants. They say it is clean energy until there is a problem and it pollutes the area for life. Just look at Russia and Japan for starters. Radiation does not go away. I believe that the Rothchild family owns 80% of all the uranium mines in the world. Something is really wrong.
bom ....
DIDNT SOAK CHAIN IN OIL
There is so much wrong in this video
MOTORS RUN OFF ELECTRICTY.......ENGINES RUN OFF FUEL............FYI
DIDNT DEGREASE TOP OF BLOCK AND FACE OF HEAD
Could you clean that surface with Break clean?
Both block and heads were taken to a machine shop. They were put in a hot water tank for 15 minutes.
You work slow like you don`t know what.
You are doing.
Have you ever made a video? Don't make any mistakes because people watch these like hawks.
I do these to educate people so they have confidence to do it themselves. When has the last time your local mechanic invited you to watch and show you step by step? You have to remember, some people have never seen anything like this - they could be just cruising youtube.
don't pay no tention to these Goobers man, video's are the best on youtube and I've seen em all.
If you rush you make mistakes it's best to take your time, plus I like that it was slow and easy to understand and what is with all these ppl do they have nothing better to do than to try to find stuff to criticise ppl for.
pewter timing gear?!?!!? huuuu! anybody that knows anything knows you want a cloyes!!!
you need to get a speed wrench, much faster
18436572
You did rocker are 1 8 5
Don't understand your comment
David Lis 18436572 firing order
Adjusting rockers in relation to that order saves time vs. Jumping around randomly.
You are right
I do not understand how u are setting the rockers and lifters and push rods , ,so u bring every piston to top, put the hardware on tighten them till they are tight, then tighten them more , hahahahah nah don't work like that, but hey what ever floats your boat
GLAD THIS ISNT MY ENGINE
