While doing a pre assembly on my engine, #DarkMatterPikachu, we ran into some fitment issues with the lifter retainers. The reason for this is because of the aftermarket block I used. That's linked below in case you're curious.
We decided to so some modifications to the retainers instead of the block, mainly because it was the easier way to go.
This is the type of thing you often run into with custom work like this. So if you want to go fast, be prepared to work for it.
Thanks to Justin & Kevin Frische for their help in this video.

I'm so relieved to see a master engine builder solve this issue, the same way I did. I feel like less of a hack now!
Really enjoying this series of videos. I can certainly see why as a technician you would send the block to the machine shop to have all of these items worked on prior to assembly in your shop.
As someone who isn't a mechanic, I really appreciate this step-by-step build. I actually didn't know why someone would take roller lifters over flat tappet style lifters until I saw this (and other) videos. Not sure why manufacturers wouldn't always use roller lifters now..except as a cost-cutting measure.
These videos are friggin awesome!Im learning a ton and it gives the old man and I something to watch!Thanks Eric
Eric, you should do a supercut of the engine build series when it's done, would be great to see it all in one documentary as it were
As a builder of racing engines in my younger days you sometimes had to modify components slightly to work in harmony. I have seen some machinist butcher jobs that some people would not even start the engine after it was assembled and went on to win races without a problem turning 7000+ RPM. From what i see these guys know what they are doing and i would have ground the dog bones as well as there is no real strain on them.
Good to know this.... I will plan ahead and clearance the block up front when its easy.
Kalvinator shop seems to have their stuff together. Camera man Bryan is doing a fine job too !!. Eric you must be so proud. TTFN.
All you guys seem to have a a genuine friendship. Especially you and Justin. Hopefully we'll get to see them more in future vids not related to the farmont build.
Engine rebuilding done right. Nice to see 👍👍
I'm loving all the dark matter pikachu engine content eric,, cant wait to see how it all comes together in the car
These vids are great, two thumbs up!
how many times did you have to do the intro at the machine shop?
Link bar lifters. Problem solved.
Looks like a neat way to overcome a problem :-).
This a very good machine shop.
As a mechanical engineering student these are my favorite videos, thanks ETCG!
Happy birthday
Where can I get a clamp like that purple one with the crank handle on it in the background?
What holds the dog bones in place and stops them from popping up?
