High power engines ,you wouldn’t no the difference between your dick and a deck I should of left when you said cross hatch pattern,when your professional building for power you polish the bores to a mirror. Big power gains removing friction
Sadly their channel is fairly niche and strictly educational. Most people, even if they're interested in racing, won't subscribe unless they're really into the nerdy side.
@hawk, we're OK with that though. Most views come from people who never sub but still get value in passing. I think these days giving a video you like a thumbs up is better for a channel than just subbing anyway. It's all a bit weird how it works and how fickle it can be if you're just chasing numbers though - Taz.
@@hpa101 oh don't get me wrong, I love that you guys haven't compromised your style in the name of the subscriber count. There are loads of other channels that see the shallow entertainment style work and before long they spin up clickbait titles and obnoxious thumbnails with wide open "shocked" faces.
I love the live streams. Sometimes we get a bit down when they don't go right (live streaming has its gremlins) but then I just go watch another companies 'free live webinar' and I instantly feel better haha. Sounds a bit egotistical but I'm always happy to be involved with them compared to what others out there are doing, Ben and Andre did a great job setting those up from the start. The number 1 goal with those lessons is always to educate, and the number 2 goal is to use them to help pay for all this of course, but I think having the focus on making them informative first and foremost is the key. We're at about 12 staff now, with a few people working off site, but there are usually only 3-4 people directly involved in a video that makes it on TH-cam here as a rule, and my part is pretty minor. Bit long winded and probably more info than you really wanted, but there you go haha. Cheers for the support dude! - Taz.
Just in time for my DSM 4g64/63 hybrid build. Stripped the block yesterday down to the rotating assembly and hoping to get the parts to the machinist right after the weekend.
I think you hit every point I was thinking of, 'cept maybe a magnaflux/dye penetrant check of the block (and head and crank). It would also be a good idea to review the oil drain-back from the head, if it's insufficient it may not drain properly and fill the head - this is worsened with forced induction engines that don't have a good ring seal and hence a lot of blowby gases that are trying to pass from the crankcase to the breather and directly opposing the oil draining. I suspect this is a BIG factor with engines that seem to have a lot of oil passing into the breather/catch can.
How can I check the machine shop decked the surface 100% parallel to pan rail or equal deck height left to right without measuring it assembled. Using vernier callipers is not accurate enough
For us as enthusiasts, this is really one of those measurements we can't make with enough accuracy to be worthwhile. This is a case where a bit of trust needs to come in however the way the deck surface is machined usually precludes any error being baked in - Andre
Question... I have watched a bunch of your videos and done a ton of research in my engine and wanting to rebuild it... My question to you is for a first rebuild on a 3tc engine with 50000 miles, would it be needed to send my block to a machinist and spend the money when rebuilding it back to stock, for my first time? I am worried that I may waste money in case of machining, when I don’t rebuild my engine the right way, as it is my first time rebuilding any engine.
At minimum you'll want to hone the bores in order to bed your new rings. Your machinist will advise from there if anything else is required. There is a bit of trust there for someone in your position so make sure you ask around and find someone that comes recommended. Most importantly, enjoy getting stuck in and learning! We obviously have a ton of free content here as well as paid courses if you need help too 😎 - Taz.
@@hpa101 thank you I appreciate the advice, I’ll definitely have to go find a trustworthy machinist as I’m new to my area and the car scene, and surely I will most likely delve into the paid specific courses once I get my engine apart and run into the unknown. Mahalo nui
No problem at all. If you're new to the area a local car club and race meets are a good place to start to ask around, also local tuners/performance parts shops might have a good idea as well. Might be there is someone just down the road, or that you end up having to send it to someone out of town - Taz.
Probably not something id try myself, but how good is the trick of filling the water jackets with sugar then filling the tops with the likes of jb weld?? Something i learnt off boosted boys. Haha. It must be better than not doin it surely?
Interesting technique. Not something I've heard of myself. Not too sure I'd be advocating that technique but I also can't say it wouldn't work. Stranger things have happened - Andre
Yes absolutely. As Chris has mentioned, sleeving can cause as many problems as it solves. You need to be using an experienced machinist who has done a lot of sleeving, preferably with quality cnc equipment. The usual issue with sleeved blocks is that the sleeves drop once the engine is run and this causes the head gasket to leak. Not impossible to get a good result but it's something to watch - Andre
Love your work like holy shit what you show us is like no other Chanel Could you show us how to blueprint a engine petrol and diesel more diesel my self if iv missed it plz do drop me the link 😅
Blueprinting is actually a term that's misused and misunderstood in my experience. Taking it to extremes it involves measuring and correcting absolutely every dimension of the engine which is mostly unnecessary for a performance street engine, and also prohibitively expensive unless you run a professional race team. For us in the enthusiast market we generally take a watered down view of blueprinting and focus on the critical elements only - Andre
Just to add to Andres comment above, we do have content on the channel pertaining to piston and con rod balancing which you'll probably be interested in given your comment. We also cover those topics and many others in our performance engine building courses too :) - Taz. www.hpacademy.com/blog/how-to-balance-your-pistons-and-connecting-rods-techtalk/?

its crazy that you guys arent more popular. This content is so phenomenal and comes out often

Cheers man, appreciate that. Tell your like minded mates haha 😎 - Taz.

Right
This Is The BEST In Performance Education On TH-cam.
No Other Channels Compare.
👍
Chur! Appreciate the support dude! Glad you're pickin up what we're puttin down 😎
How many people are a part of the HP academy team/company? Your content is always so well done, even live streams.

Thanks for taking the time, and all good info.
Just in time for my DSM 4g64/63 hybrid build. Stripped the block yesterday down to the rotating assembly and hoping to get the parts to the machinist right after the weekend.
The deck surface is perfect too the crank line hone.
And the crank line hone is aligned to the cam bore line hone.
I'm such a child, I chuckled every time "deck surface" was mentioned
Ohhhh DECK surface. Silly me I've been checking the wrong thing 🤦

Great video again guys, many thanks. Just one question, what’s the best procedure for honing wet liners? Do we need to hone wet liners?
Definitely open up the paws with CRC.
If you’ve just decked the block and head..water dispersant asap. 🤓🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🍀🍀🇦🇺😎🤓
Talk about a k20c1 fk8 Type R block build next. I’ve done mine already. I prefer to build on a new bare oem short block and new crankshaft.
Reminds me of old motorcycle casings design.
thank you
Thanks for the thanks! - Taz.
On any engine build I always buy a new oem bare short block and brand new oem crank.

Would donor motors with water damage in the bores be ideal for a mid sleeve, instead of scrapping?
I think sleeving comes with it’s own set of problems.
