At this stage I would have thought the cost would have been double that. It appears that you can have a very well built and reliable engine built by someone who knows what their doing with out going broke.
Hi Mark, can you be more specific about when you find a taper? Do the high edges go to the inside or outside when honing? BTW, thanks for this great video series.
This one is the LBB-16XX series and is normally between $3k to $5k used for a good to excellent condition one. You can find the MBB (looks the same) a lot cheaper but its not made for automotive use. I think the RPM range is different and its not set up for connecting rods.
Please wear latex gloves. Petroleum based liquids can and do go through human skin and can cause all sorts of health issues, including liver and kidney. What you do is a form of art. God Bless you.
Mark, Dee Dee has a valid point. Petroleum is a carcinogenic, enters your body through your cuticles and may cause cancer. We need people like you around for a long time to teach and get younger viewers interested in the industry. Great job Bro!
He is also showing signs of heavy metal poisoning. No im not a doctor but I have seen it before. Notice how he knocks thing around and has a hard time moving smoothly?
cutting and honing oils also most often contain sulfur which is also not very good to be getting into your blood stream. Along with the solvents that go along with these fluids it is a good idea to wear gloves while using any chemical solution.
So far the parts and labor is a very reasonable amount! Your attention to detail is priceless
Thank you for showing how to properly resize Connecting rods for A performance Build. Love you Videos Jim !!!
You guys have a really nice machine shop. Very bright and easy to see. A lot of machine shops are kinda dingy and dark. Great job!

A great Job at showing the art of performance machining and engine building Mark!!!
great video ..there is alot of work in maching an engine to build and do it right......
got to watch them they grow when warmed up. they always seem to mike out on the tight side when cooled
Thank you for shearing your knowledge.
Great video series!
Operated the same machine for eight years, you don't use this one much... So clean! Power stroke attachments are nice to have.
I love this shit.
Great job Mark !
Thanks
Thanks for the tips. Still a little fuzzy on how to get the rod bolts out without teeeking the rod.
Very interesting! Keep it up!
Do you go through all these processes for each engine you build?
Agreed..great job..im sure the girls love watching you play with your rods lol
What do you charge for a set of reconditioned rods? Or how much for you to do the recondition?
How long are those rods?

the small diameter of the taper goes toward inside of the stones.
What does a machine like that cost my friend?

Honning rods is back breaking. After about two hours your back is hurting.
After 30+ years you can crush someones hand in a handshake . I can
Pussy. Try trimming shrubs for 9 hours.
Long process
