Surfacing Ron's engine block. Protrusion goes CRAZY!!!

- This damage is easily blamed on the previous job not being cleaned at all,, thus blowing again and actually damaging much worse than needed to be. Boiling coolant in between the deck surfaces tends to leave a lil residue!! lol

Awsome video a@j 🎉🎉🎉 thx for sharing
Thx Aa!!!
Future idea: What about chucking up a piston in a lathe ?
The only downside I could imagine would be the chuck size. In theory, it would be just like face cutting any other metal.
Joe down the street did that for us a while back. It worked wonderfully!!! Very easy to zero it and ensure it’s cut square. I don’t have a lathe btw. Lol
This why you’re the very best, just sayin
I appreciate that,,, we try
That is what makes you special, you just do
I like to tap the oil galley plugs for pipe plugs
That would be fine if that pesky one wasn't positioned to almost block a passage requiring extra effort. We used to do that,, until I decided that we were fixing a problem that wasn't even a problem!! lol
What if you swap the pistons with the higher protrusion with the lower and see if theres any change
You just flipped the light switch,,, I mean,, duhhh.... Lets at least swap the internals around and see huh???? Glad you're here!!!!
@@AnthonyYoungblood you're welcome
Will sanding to reduce protrusion of four pistons result in a weight reduction of those pistons compared to “unshaved” ones? Will you then have reciprocating mass imbalances? Or do you plan on solving the protrusion issue first and then deal with matching weights? Or am I out to lunch and the minor weight difference are immaterial? Thank you.
For sure!!! Ron brought that up as I was completely spacing it off!! lol. I like to think we would’ve came to that conclusion on our own as well. But actually who knows huh?? Thank goodness we have the best customers!! Julie was planning on running a little sanding experiment. Let’s see if she gets it done!!
Dumb question but can't you JB weld those spots on the cooling jackets and cut the block and all be well? In my shop we see metal intake cavitatied and fill with JB weld and not had an issue.
That prob would work fine. I have yet to try to actually weld on a surface and fix it with the surfacer. Like the race cars do when they blow up?!?! lol I would feel better welding it,, but there's nowhere for the jb weld to escape to once its assembled so I bet it'd work!!!
Aren't the Fel-pro head gaskets a little thicker, for machining?
I can’t remember even checking the felpro thickness. Lol. However,, iirc the stock ford blues have 3-.011” sealing plates, 1-.006, and I think a .003 or something. I swapped the shims around once on stock blues trying to get some clearance. It worked for clearance but blew the headgaskets. lol. That was 1 of the 3 or 4 failures that we have ever had as far as head gaskets.
@@AnthonyYoungblood You and Julie do some bad-ass work!
Fly cut it do not belt sand it lol
Might as well chuck it up assembled and bar the engine over to tdc on each cylinder and make em EXACT?!?!?!? lol Lately I've been wanting to push the limits on stuff. Machine it assembled?? lol Obviously would need to be one of mine,,,
