Will it blow up? probably... will we blame Jeremy? absolutely.
Cleetus McFarland yeet
that address on the box is pretty visible Garrett, just an fyi
Hell yeah brother 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
you have great custom parts, loved it
I’d be disappointed if you didn’t
I love that Cleetus doesn’t act like he knows more than he knows. That growth mindset is part of what sets these dudes apart. Very little pretentiousness, lots of curiosity. That’s a combination for success.
Couldn't have said any better.
Agreed. Cant describe how much I appreciate the realism and constant learning.
Admitting fault is a very good trait to have, shows the ability to learn from failure
Interstate Motor Company I think I just read a comment from you in another video giving credit to how Garret handles his business. I couldn’t agree more. I’m not sure why I spent so much time not following along, I honestly think it was from some of his subscribers who would be on every other car video I watched talking about how Leroy would “destroy” whatever car was in the video and I suppose it just annoyed me. Turns out he’s nothing like I would have expected and super humble and willing to make mistakes and own them as well as sharing all the victories with everyone around him.
I know right? These guys ooze positive vibes constantly it seems. Very few curse words is also refreshing.
This is the greatest build ever, "we found a balancer outside." The statement every junkyard builder loves. I want to see Ruby tearing it up from now on.
Love coopers idea, cheap wrap... just sticker bomb it, it's my favorite part of the car
I don't know what james makes money wise. But it aint enough.
He has a family to care for Lol. Ol cleetus spends all his moneh on race cars not little bartle skeets runnin around
Lol
*On a serious note: I learn so much with every episode from James. He’s awesome!* i would love an episode where he talks about his automotive background and how he got started with cars
Hell yeah brother.
Agreed!
Ditto
Agreed! James is probably one of the luckiest mechanics in world... I’d definitely prefer his job over my dealership job any day all day!
he acted like the rings don't rotate in the engine though they do and from time to time the ring gaps will line up.
21:41 "We found a ballancer outside" That's the spirit of this engine.
Off of a Caprice none the less.
Roadkill style haha
This is actually quite educational on how to rebuild an engine.
kaunas88 interest for me to watch. I’m 36 and I’ve blown up 4 engines and never even touched an engine myself. lol.
It's wild to watch this in 2022 knowing how much yall have grown and learned. Who woulda thought that you would own your own racetrack and an intire shope of your own that bigger than the one you shared with Jeremy.
I've learned so much from James!!! Happy he's on the channel!
True
@@turbo3056🙌👍
Daniel could not agree more.
Daniel facts
@@stevewelborn8744 cool to see people feel the same way
I've learned so much from James. That dude knows so much about engine building.
james is the best addition to the show yet!
I feel like I'm a mechanic now lol
Yep.
Always has some value to add
James is my guy! He's the brains behind the scenes. Dude is legit smart AF. His delivery is dry but that's typical of "analytical" types. Absolutely love the dude.
"We're not professionals"...I dunno about that, James seems to kno what he's talking about/what he's doin. I'd say u got a couple professionals on team Bartle Skeet.
Garret and company know what they are doing.
Gotta say, it's pretty admirable that you don't act like you know everything and it's easy to see you're adamant about learning. Adds to the fun of the vid, great content!
tapered bore ring install tool will change your life
Words of wisdom.
They are a pain in the ass or at least sometimes they can be lol!
amen, a friend of mine still uses the manual one ,same results but a lot more patience
Is that what they were using?
At least you won't cut your hand open like I did with the tapered one.
Just to let ya know yall got me out of a ticket. So i get pulled after doing a burn out in a parking lot, when the police man asked what i was thinking my only response was i was doin it for dale. He laughed said i love cleetus. Let me go with a stern warning. 😁😁😁
Wow dude!😂 I'll have to be sure to remember that when I get pulled over
Me too
what? Hell yeh
Thays funny good thing he knew cleetus
Sooo good!
Been so long since I saw these videos I had to go back and watch Ruby's beginning again.
This is how you are supposed to do it in the first place. Hands on with the junkyard stuff. Learn. Improve. Build. Car crafting can be used as an analogy for life. Great idea to just get a fun no pressure project to learn on. Keep doing more and more yourself Cleetus. Make Ruby a monster. I would love to see that corvette a year from now with a crazy set up that you had the majority share of work in.
So to explain a couple things.
The short travel lifters aka Johnson lifters are specially made Hydraulic roller lifters. What they are is hydraulic lifters with less movement in the piston that pushes the rod up and down. The reason you do that is normal hydraulic lifters maintain the rocker to valve gap, on solid lifters there is no piston to provide clearance they use an actual gap to let the valve close. On a short travel lifter it uses oil pressure and a small movement to control the gap.. essentially it's a short travel precision gaped internally controlled lifter. it is a solid lifter with a built in gap.. It allows the cam to be used on the street lower rpm useage and have the characteristics of a solid without the maintenance and need to gap them from time to time.
Ring gap is easy to understand. Piston rings need a gap so they do not seize in the piston bore when hot. The factory builds the engines to make roughly 400 hp and only needs a small gap to control the combustion process and maintain oiling in the cylinder. On a boosted engine they produce a prodigious amount of heat and metal expands when heated. When you put a lot of heat on the ring they grow and can touch, If they touch they can lock the piston to the cylinder, and the connecting rod and crank keep moving and basically you pull the piston apart at the ring land which is what happened with the other engine. So to stop that from happening you add more expansion room to the piston ring and they do not touch *hopefully* and then the ultimate limit to power is the parts themselves, aka pistons and connecting rods.. that motor should make 8-900 hp and live for a long time if oil pressure is maintained and the rev limiter works in case a drivetrain part fails. I'll take connecting rods for 100 cleeter with cylinder 6/8 for 500 >;) Ls's are notorious for destroying cylinder 6/8 because of overheating they are the last cylinders to receive water cooling and run hottest and if you watch racing channels and stuff that use ls engines they seem to be where stuff breaks the most. This should be fun to watch.
Best TH-cam comment I've ever read.
Logan Matteo your response to this comment is what convinced me to actually read the comment..
Logan Matteo and I was not dissapointed
Great comment..
This post is why I read comments.
just winging it all the time explains my entire build
The Bassman Beat me to it lol
hey Kyle, your build is going ok mate, don't stress :) Cheers from Australia :)
James is amazing, such knowledge, an incredible teacher too, so patient. I could easily watch and listen to him for hours!
Man I just cant get enough of your vlogs guys, they are perfect length where they end with you wanting more but not too long where you get bored. James was great teacher and cleetus you are the best kind of student, one that actually wants to learn, Shuts up and does exactly what the guy teaching says instead of the typical arrogant "I know I Know" fools that watched a TH-cam video so they think they know everything. Cant wait to see Team Bartle Skeet and Ruby back at the track making more power than ever, your vlogs are definitely my 13yr old son and my favorite to watch.. Thanks for the great content and awesome editing work.
If you’re not cutting apart a sticker to write “Dew it for Dale” you’re not really living to your full potential.
This comment needs all the love!
To The Top!
That's a great idea, lol
01GTB Daily boxing
I love how all the company’s you work with customize the parts with something hilarious.
You guys have without a doubt the best sponsors of all time. The details they're putting on the parts they send you are just hilarious!
James is right. In the early 90s I had to replace the head in my 1979 VW Golf GTI. I thought I knew what I was doing. I had a Chilton manual and I still screwed it up. I put my head gasket in upside down and siezed the new head. So 750 German Marks for each head and an additional 100 marks for the gaskets and head bolts. That little screwup cost me an additional $1150. Total replacement cost was $2500. The extra $150 was for pizza and beer for use of the motor bay and the motor sergeants presence while I was doing the work. He helped occasionally. I will never forget to look for the mark on the top of the head gasket again...... Good work Garrett!
" We are not professionals, we are just W_I_N_G_I_N_G I_T" In the most entertaining and results producing manner possible.
Welcome To The Madness I fee this needs to be another shirt in the makings!!!!
@Noscamaroz28 stupid fucks do what they like in life and have fun. dumb fucks like you do shit you do not like and hate for life.
@@GumiSlauh69o that sound you hear was the mic hittin the stage
James must supervise cleetus building a motor because look at the way he's holding the hammer 17:00
More like because it's his first time assembling one
Please keep showcasing the builds and changes. Watching something break then go to fault analysis/tear down, then to the build, the tune and dyno and then back to the track. Easily the most interesting part of the channel and it's Hella informative.
Ruby is a great addition to the cast. Leroy & Neighbor have the big boy gear. Ruby brings in the home grown appeal. Nice job guys!
Cleetus, seriously... calling you guys not professional is just understated.
The combination of you, Cooper and James IS professional! That's how you run a successful company. Find one's strengths and let him do what he does best.
Love you guys! Celebrating with you since the very first episode!
Charlie Harper and Jeremy he does more than just tune.
I hope Ruby launches fast enough to blow all those stickers off her rear end~
Hell yeah brother
Just like in a cartoon, the car fucks off and the stickers just stay there for a second 🤣
gon launch so hard the tail lights are gona fly off j
Gzhz 😂📃📜
So happy to see all the comments about James since I taught him everything he knows. Proud mom. That's my boy. Thank you cleetus for respecting what he loves to do and big thanks to the subscribers.
It seems James has been to the Roadkill School Of Engine Rebuilding.
And now we have McFarland Performance Engines.
James is such a genuine guy. You can tell he is very invested in working with Cleetus and you can tell that Cleetus honestly cares about learning what James has to teach. #broteam
Once the back is stickered, would you clear coat it with uv resistant clear to protect them.
They really should. Stickers look like shit after sitting in the sun for a while.
You have the best "Family" INCLUDING all the teams that help with parts. There have been a few instances in the past, IE: Leeroy's engine tare down and the statue that was made, and now with "Part2" on the lifters. It really makes for a "jolly family orientated" channel! So this shout out goes to Everyone at your shop Cleetus, as well as ALL the teams that assist with parts, support etc etc.
"one last bog"
"Chss"
"that's it.. that was it"
lol such precision on that last one
**puts truck engine in a corvette**
truck: *_AM I A JOKE TO YOU?_*
👍👍👍
It don't matter if it's a truck engine or a car engine. The only different is one is aluminum and the truck is not. its only about 75lbs different. The iron truck block can hold more HP.
@@matthewvarnam4302 who said it matters?
@@LaughrieOnYT . just saying. It thought snapmare was saying something about a truck engine in a corvette but I was just saying. lol
Not one safety rule was followed that day lol
I’ve learned more in this 30 min video than my teachers have taught me all week
Preston Bartek fr
Not being crew at all, but don’t learn from this they are making many mistakes. But that’s what makes this channel great. They learn
They apparently haven’t taught you the difference between Then and Than. Better hit the books buddy
Agree. "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son"-Dean Wormer
@@hereinmissoula11 Care to list a few of these mistakes?
It's also good to give the ring compressor a few taps with the hammer handle on the outside wall to ensure that the rings are seated deeply into the ring lands before rechecking the tightness and then tap the piston into the hole.
James is very knowledgeable
Anyone else get depressed if they don't get their daily dose of freedom and bald Eagle?
Haha yea I go looking on the channel just in case I missed it in recommendations..
Yes
Most definitely have the ‘Optimism Positive Outlook’ market cornered.
Just the simple numbers, it looks like they’ve picked up about 350,000 subs in 90 days.
Haha me too
Hell yea, Id thought Id moved out of chicago but its just been cold and rainy every since i fixed the clutch 2 weeks ago so all that freedom has just been pinned up in the garage and.....
Oh.. you..
you meant cleetus.. nvm.
16:18 I lost it at Jeremy's laugh ...
Rafael Santos_7 best part of the video
Jeremy heard it from across the shop, true professional.
Just giving the rookie a hard time haha
Sometimes working on a car is fun and sometimes no fun at all, depending on what you're doing, where you're doing it, and why you have to do it. But once you have an engine on the stand with a box full of new parts nearby, the rebuild is always pleasurable work. And the excitement and satisfaction you get when it fires up and runs nicely is hard to duplicate.
Gapping and indexing piston rings is FUN! Years ago I was helping a friend build a small block 350 for his wife's car. Layed all the parts out (I was doing the pistons while he got the crank and rod bearings ready). Oh what is THIS? In the TRW kit is an extra top ring! My evil streak came out. I hid it. Fast forward to when we had the engine built and in the car ready to fire up and I layed the extra ring on the console. He gets in the car to fire it up and goes batshit! Took me an hour and a beer to convince him that it WAS an extra ring! Then the passenger front core plug leaked (they are NOT "freeze plugs" only to clean the casting sand out of the blocks). At least that one is easy to get to!
"The sequel" and "Round 2". You guys have some awesome partners!
As soon as you posted this my day has turned around. Thank you for your hard work and positive energy. You James and cooper are the best
James is a get 'er done kind of guy. A great mechanic.
I remember building my first engine... thanks for the memories! Nothing like hearing that rumble when it fires up! That good old SOUL AWAKENING!! HELL YES!
trust James, anyone that sprays that much nitrous knows how to fix broken parts....
I hate those compressors so much. I broke a ring on my motor, then invested in one of the conical ARP compressors. They're around $35-$75, each one only fits one piston diameter, but they go in perfect every time, and the best part is that the compressor doesn't touch the piston, just the rings, so they slide through super easy.
I was watching this and I saw that ring compressor and all I thought was "Noooo don't use it, Greg wouldn't approve!!!!"
On my last piston using one of those I gouged the cylinder wall and ruined the block. was so mad.
awesomecooly123 I was thinking the same. 😂
Hell back in the day I used to use a piece of thin metal flashing and a few hose clamps, always worked for me, but I know there are better tools out there, just a junkyard build needs junkyard tools.
@@@leonh1971 That's what my Shop instructor would say and he built for Fremont Drag Strip as a kid.
I respect the fact that you're willing to put your hands into your project bro. I've had people that have project cars and they're deadly afraid of touching it.
I am sitting here with the morning coffee watching you guys fit rings. I have done it so many times over the last 40 plus years I don't remember the numbers .ha ha. I have one of those ring compressors which I was given back in 1975 and a few years ago it finally wore out .It was already old when I got it, great little tool. When I fit rings and bearings I use that thick engine stuff from Moreys or Lucas. . Works well, but dont put it in the oil for the initial break in because the rings won't seat too well. 😁
I just watched a Hoonigan ad on a Cleetus video.
John C Lol, I just watched a Ken Block ad. it's a good day.
I have TH-cam red I dont see ads
Dangelo Delgado neither do i, I just skip them
That’s probably the best name for a cam, Dumpster Fire
this guy is ball honing a junkyard engine... and 4 years later he is racing multiple thousand horsepower engines and owning his own racetrack! Only in the Us 🙂
James is right! only way you learn is wrenching yourself. Cant wait to see this thing rip.
Can't help but to crack open the old dew ever time I watch.. keep it up
I have full confidence that it will not blow up on the first start. Keep up the great work Brother.
I read this wrong haha
Living the dream! Blowing up junkyard ls engines with your buddies.
I know basically nothing about what you guys are doing....but....love the excitement you always show....kudos for doing what you love!
Nothing like a cam called dumpster fire I love that 😂😂
Cleetus .... you gotta name the el Camino Elroy dude. You already have Leroy and Elroy off the Jetsons
I don't remember a Leroy from the Jetsons....
He needs to name it after the woman that died while racing here jet car.
richie renaud it’s name is already mullet
I thought of Hell Camino because of the Hell Yeah Brother. 👍 from 🇬🇧
Grants Dad i know man
Hi guys totally loved this engine build ...I’ve seen a few before but never seen how the gapping was done loved it and learned a lot ..... ty.... now I’m continuing to watch
Something about how you buys not only build and race these machines, but the personalities AND the personalities you give your cars [with names] that hearkens back to 'the olden days' when I was young and we would race [minus all that high dollar machinery from pro building shops...none of us had any of that stuff or the money for it, but oh well] our own hand built home made machines.
Who thinks Leroy, ruby, and neighbor and all the others should be implemented into forza?
You win the comments for the day!!!
Forza horizon 4 cleetus pack? Hell yea brother
Neighbor is basically Already in forza
@@IndianaStreetScene wrong engine swap though
I'd definitely rip Leroy around britian!
James knows his stuff !
Because he’s James he knows everything
I like that you have a mechanic you pay but help and try to learn as much as possible with him
I love how you're not afraid too try anything working on the motor James is right that's the only way you learn!!!!
CLEETER! You should get a sealed oil system for the turbskie because we know it'll blow again, and if you do that, you shouldn't get metal shavings in the bearings and everything else from the engine's oil!
He could go with an oilless turbo if he's concerned abou that
J-Edgar Hughes I think most people in the comments are clueless lol
@J-Edgar Hughes then he just replaces the turbine wheel
I suspect you'll find the said turbskie is going to last a lot longer than you think. It got a brand new center cartridge, and was rebuilt by Precision Turbo. Might as well be a brand new turbo.
@J-Edgar Hughes Yeah, you've got a point, I'm just thinking it will last a little longer without metal being fed to it all the time, until the piston explodes again and a chunk of piston gets into it.
Team Bartle Skeet is 3 Bald Eagles just WINGING IT for for Murica !
Just watched the new 69 Camaro build video and now watching this again. Crazy how far yall came in 5 short years. Junkyard ls build to todays 5 second Camaro build going.
James is so patient. He would be a great teacher.
Great idea with the mini harbor freight bench grinder! Way cheaper than an actual ring filer. 👍🏻 I loath those old school adjustable ring compressors though. Lost count of how many rings I’ve broken with one of those over the years. I switched to the exact fit compressors a few years back. Way easier to pop into the bore and less time consuming. 😉
The reason you use a hand grinder or file to clearance ring gaps is to prevent heating the ends up, making them brittle. Little pieces can break off and be carried by the oil to the bearings.
I've used an angle grinder held a bench vice lol gotta do what you gotta do
This channel is sick... all ways learning something new ....UK England
How's your silver goal coming along?
I used to run the Chrome Molly ring cell at Hasting Manufacturing. When I built my 350 sb .30 over I used the rings I made. Was awesome to know I assembled the parts I created.
Greatest feeling in the world is starting an engine you just assembled!
Literally any V8 engine: -starts- Cleetus: WOOOO HELL YEAH BROTHER
Why WOULDN'T anyone react like that lol
Picking up a Bartle Skeet on my way to Harbor Freight right now!
@@636_ninja the Bauer 20V angle grinder!
Love to see it, goes to show if you stay humble you can learn anything! Look at where they are now, whole team is killin it
Good idea with the stickers!!! Once you get to a point that the back is full. Get some kind of clear wrap like 3m to put over top. This will protect them from all the shenanigans.
"We are not professionals..."
I beg to differ. James is definitely professional!
I feel like cleetus has a proud dad moment and feels more American every gosh darn day
17:05 - If you leave the piston skirt sticking out below the clamp, it will be easier to insert.
Thank you to all the sponsors, Texas Speed you are awesome. I have had untold amounts of Joy do to your love of shenanigans.
Used the restroom at work to watch! Get er done !
Save the stickers for the Honda Civic's. I heard it adds 50hp for them.
I love how in depth you go with actually building these cars. Being able to actually learn from these videos set them above the rest
Congrats on your first engine Cleetus, and to the rest of the shop for an amazing job and videos.
The Auction Corvette is one badass ride. I have an idea for future consideration though.. An oldschool Checker Cab LS build!!! What say ye?? :D
Ak Dude no
I want to build an high performance engine so bad, currently we’re tearing apart a 466 Cummins for school love it
I'm doing a Ruby binge watch and am astonished at how far the McFarland team has come...facility, process, success, etc. Bravo Gents...Bravo.
Love the truck nuts just chillin on the parts washer in the back ground😂😂
So Ruby is basically...
Step 1: Build
Step 2 : Break
Step 3 ; Blame Jeremy
Step 4 : Profit.
Step 1 record build edit profit
Step 2 record break edit profit
Step 3 repeat
Malachi Stephenson it was a truck motor with over 100,000 on it 💁🏿♂️
The best list
That's how *do it for Dale* works
Step 5 repeat
Got the official AdamLZ livery callout!!!
Dumpsterfire Take2
Good tips all around, but gap spacing/clocking isn't to stop oil from leaking up, it's to reduce the amount of blow by going down to the crankcase, especially in a forced induction engine.
Loved watching Cleetus learn the proper use of the good ol' Ford Adjustment Tool to install pistons :P
One thing I got to say, it is absolutely awesome to see how far the shop has come from when you guys just got the place to doing the floors I'm putting the lifts in to having it pretty much looking like it's completely packed with cars. Phukin AWESOME !!!
Just giver a little tappy a little tap tap taperoo 😂😂😂 #happygilmore
You have to have your rods resized if you use the ARP bolts
That's what i thought too. lol
Same, chances are they'll be out of round.
Yep. Those ARP bolts torque to a different value which could affect clearance. Was the crank even pulled to check for crank or bearing damage?
Pretty sure Texas speed knows better than anyone and would have made sure they did what they need to do plus James has built tons of these for his 240 they will be fine I'm sure
They're bolts, not studs, and they're reusing the rods, bearings, and crank. There's no need.
Ice been an auto mechanic for 20 years and have always wanted to build/rebuild an engine and after watching you guys nail it, I'm confident I could do it too! Awesome video and what a great fun project! I'm gonna need more Mountian Dew too!
After using that band compressor for years I finally bought 5.3 and 6.0 bore tapered compressors, and it was glorious!!!
