    I learned how to build um and put um together from my father in-law. He is gone now. He liked to use STP and motor oil mixed together on the rotating assembly. Said, if you had to leave it sit for a long time before you fired it up you are good to go. He was from Harrisville MS. Bubba Mullins. Good man RIP. You remind me a lot of him Bob.

    • @RatRodBobBuilds
      @RatRodBobBuilds  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yep ... I've done that too ... STP and motor oil makes excellent assembly lube. Lucas and oil works too. I didn't use that on this engine just straight 20w50 with zink ... it's slick as Gorilla snot.

    @albertgaspar627 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Personally I like to stab the camshaft in before dropping the crank in one final time--that way you can reach inside the crankcase to guide 'er thru the bearings instead of trying to do with with leverage at one end of the camshaft. As for checking piston ring gaps or installing valve seats on a head, distorting the block or head with a torque plate means you've got things set up the way they are when the block is complete. but no one has a torque plate, so grab a stack of washers or an old wrist pin and torque 'em around the cylinder you're working on to replicate the distortion. when pushing in the piston, turn the block around so the deck you're working on is level with the ground--might as well let gravity be your friend. Use a fish scale to pull down each piston and connecting rod--if a ring is hanging up the different measurement on the scale will warn you right quick.

    • @RatRodBobBuilds
      @RatRodBobBuilds  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Albert. That's some good advice and on the cam installation I usually install it before the crank too but this time I forgot. Not the end of the world, deal with it and move on.

      @@RatRodBobBuilds I hear you, as the Rangers say, FIDO. Engine stands are really universal tools--I've used 'em to install shift kits in automatic transmissions while sitting in a comfy seat, use a pair as a body shell rotisserie and some rear axle repairs and as a welding stand for large awkward items I wanted to be able to roll around 360 degrees. the trick is to bolt the attachment to your part and then use an engine hoist to get it up in the air and roll the engine stand over and slip 'em together.

    nothing like learning from the masters, grew up with that, Dad once he had it back together he would rotate the rolling assemble while having a set of beers with oil being applied until he thought it was good, to ensure the rings are starting to set there position he would say.

    Man I ain't done nothing like that in years, I helped my old man build several smallblock Chevys and by several I mean like 5 of them, and just right here in our basement. Haha and the block sitting on on them furniture moving carts, one of those little roll around things you know, and we did everything to the engines, just sitting on that little cart thing. But yeah we never had no problems with any of the engines we built. First one we built, or rebuilt actually, was a 283, and that's been many many moons ago and the last engine me and him did was a 350, and that one we put just a little bigger than stock cam in it, we put that in a old 71 Chevy truck and it was still in it whenever he sold it, the truck, a few years later. No I take that back, that wasn't a 350, the last one we did that went in that truck was a smallblock 400, that's engine that was in it whenever I bought the truck, we just rebuilt it and made it just a little bigger than stock. And that was one of my brother in law's that he sold the truck too and he drove it for 3 or 4 years with that same engine in it until he sold it.
