Not going to degree the cam? Ok
You know what Gale would say about that air filter placement 😉
I'd be pissed if I dropped my car off at a repair shop and saw them boiling the rear tires and speeding down a highway. I'd also prefer the car to be driven lightly until all the internals had a chance to lap each other in. I know engine break in is a controversial subject, but doing burnouts on a fresh build is not a good thing to do.
@@MrUltraworld I’m sure they had the owners permission to do so
@@MrUltraworld Yep, I havent heard Dave talk about any run in procedure but I wouldnt be doing burnouts on a brand new engine. This whole video was a miss for me. I didnt like the way Dave upsold the guy who just wanted to look after the truck in his fathers memory.
Everything I learned in Germany as a toolmaker about surface finishes, tolerances about precision and machining can be found here in this video and more… I would be proud to put these kind of engines together with this kind of craftsmanship
I agree
I started my apprenticeship at a company, Metabo and the 31/2 year program was incredible
I ended up switching from the metal trade to cabinet maker and eventually homebuilder once we moved to Canada
You know its good when a German approves,
Lol
@@macthemec not necessarily, German engineering isn't viable
What are you even talking about lmao
@@madleader144 But nowadays I see it everywhere american engineering, Chinese engineering everywhere is everything built to max out profit margins.
But back in the days after WW2 the Americans were really behind to steal all of german patents and prototypes and capture thousands of our Scientists, Engineers and so on which is till this day the biggest stealing of knowledge/ inventions recorded in human history.
I am retired, a GM guy and have a background in CNC machine repair. I cannot imagine ANY other machine shop in existence being as knowledgeable, thorough and meticulous and offering all the upgrades you make. If I ever need major engine work, I am hands down, coming to you guys no matter where I am in the country!
If more people in this country took HALF the pride Dave's team does in their work, this would be an AWESOME country to live in again. Little stuff like the powered engine hoist jack shows they are looking at how to fine tune their operation, not just the engines.
These guys are top tier in their profession for sure. If not just the top.
Amen to that brother. That's why I'm driving out to Utah to have Dave and his team do the engine in my truck next fall. (Why next fall you ask? Because they're booked 8 mo's out!!!)
They pour their heart and souls into every part they touch. So there is a hell of a waiting line to get into their shop.
@@toddarnette5839 I was wondering how far out they’re booked. Figured it was a while.
cool, another “america sucks” comment.
Dam right I wish I lived near them .. good luck finding a shop that operates like this where I live in Alabama
You deserve your own 1 hour TV show! I would watch it for sure.
Hes supposed to be signing with DISCOVERY CHANNEL,he told us months ago discovery channel wanted him
@@dodgedemon840 i hope he doesnt
@@evrlastngcherry7727 he's already ready said he's just waiting to sign with them,he replied to my question with update few weeks ago
Why, he has a very successful TH-cam channel
Agree.
Hello Dave: Thank you for this terrific video sir. I have so much respect for you & your crew cause there aren't many shops that can perform at the level yours does. The way you treat your guys is totally uncanny compared to the automotive industry. Here in N.J most shops just slap it together and shove it out the door. Before I retired I would come close to your operation but on a smaller scale. In my 63 years in the automotive repair industry your shop by far rises to the top of professionalism and capabilities. God Bless you, your family, and your crew. TMP from N.J.
Really like seeing the entire process, especially the POV Joey cam. A full pov rebuild video from Joey's perspective would be great! Thanks Dave and family
Thanks for the idea!
As a previous major engine remanufacture shop foreman all these tolerances and surface finishes are not found in books requiring years of experience and documentation. Very impressed with the details that Dave uses that automakers can learn from to build better products. BTW now moved from automotive to Finning the largest CAT dealer at OEM.
Good to have your experience on our channel👍
@@DavesAutoCenterCentervilleRetired after 45 years in remanufacturing automotive EMD locomotive other heavy industrial engines. Now winter form Canada in Arizona. Keep up the great work that new lessons everyday.
It is always a joy for me to watch true craftsmen do the work they love. It is obvious that everyone in your organization loves what they do, they are not working they are crafting excellence. If I ever need an engine built, your shop is the one I will be asking to do my work. Thanks for sharing your passion. Plus you have all the cool tools!
There is so much knowledge required to do these engines right and not many technicians to hire. People risk is huge for a technical operation like yours. Great video. Much respect for what you do and how you do it.
Fun fact: Chevrolet was the first automaker to counterbalance the crankshaft. It was on the first Chevrolet designed by Louis Chevrolet with the help of his younger brother and an engineer.
I love my whipple charged 5.3L, can't wait to set a 6.2L or 6.6L into my Silverado when the time comes
Just sold my 2003 1500HD with the 6.0L. Was starting to get to much rust for me. I'm looking for a clean low mile one and I'm going to build it. Can't wait.
These guys are amazing! I have a 2008 Sierra Denali 1500 6.2L with 450,760 miles on original engine, but the transmissions keep breaking, 3rd one failed a few months ago. 19 mpg hwy. Great torque , a pleasure to drive. It's always awsome to see Dave do the best work for the customer. Seems like nobody can do a good job anymore
Im so happy this guy was able to keep his dads things in the family. When my dad died in jan. This year my step mom took everything and i havent heard from her since two weeks after funeral. He is blessed
Thank you! It is mine. I also kept and preserve Dads 62 Impala and his 70 C10 short bed!
*Dave's Auto Center* You guys are doing some amazing work, thank-you for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
This is the best channel on TH-cam. Hands down!
You're the best!
Thank you for exhibiting such good quality. Our nation needs these kind of examples.
I would not be surprised for Dave to get occasional visits from current GM engineers who might be willing to share their design ideas that didn't get past the GM bean counters......
Man, watching your boy put that motor together with the GoPro POV was wicked! Awesome video!
As an Aerospace mill machinist, I must say your attention to detail is amazing. I’d love to work for an engine shop like yours. Such a clean work area too.
Wow, thanks!
Was half expecting Dave’s reply under this to say “send a resume over”
Gotta feel great to drive that truck knowing you built it the right way. This is awesome!
The precision in the detail is excellent 👌🏾
Thank you 🙌
I love the way Dave says MEAsurement
Off topic -- but congrats on the marlin tournament last week! I was out there also -- looks like you and I both caught a striped marlin, and you guys also boated one heck of a black marlin too! Would've loved to shake hands and chat; maybe next time!
By far the best video you crew has made up to date.
Thank all those involved for me, it was very educational and entertaining.
Much appreciated!
Dave you are awesome
Duesenberg had the best way to season engine blocks. Cast them then throw them outside to the elements for a while and let the metal cool naturally and let the block twist into its natural shape. Then you come in and machine that block with tolerances that are done by computerized stuff today. And back then the metal was way better than we have today. That’s why we have the old monster tool and dye machines that just make me cry when I see them. Great Videos You’re a good teacher in explaining the specifics of the bottom end!!
03:00, Dave, Dave, Dave, you know better to place your hand there on that piston! What if one of the seals burst and when? AT THE MOMENT THAT YOU least expect it to do so! Be safe!
Dave and crew, that was one sweet build! You guys go with quality everything from start to finish. I'm not just talking about the parts, but also your labor. From pulling the motor, teardown, machine work, assembly, back to install. I have worked in a quality engine/ machine shop for a few years before, and I also ran my own garage/ repair shop for a good 20 + years until I was forced to retire from full-time work. So I think im qualified to speak on certain things. Keep on doing the great things y'all are doing and keep on putting out the great content that y'all are putting out. Peace and God bless you all! 👌🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You got that right. Finish a cool build and can’t drive it no more. Nice job guys.
Dave I’m beyond impressed with your shop and all the people you have there, awesome video sir 👍😁
What a great build. These guys know how to build and it shows.
Our fab guy at our shop made our cherry picker battery operated to get rid of that hand pump. Its got a long cord with an up and down button with a valve to adjust how fast you want the little hydro pump to actuate.
I’ve been around trucks my whole life rebuilt engines the whole nine. I honestly never knew how far you could go with precision engine building I’m blown away I hope that table top was 20k lol
Cool build. I need that on my 2006 Yukon!!!!
I love watching these engine builds! My only critique is the intake to the pro charger is it’s pulling in hot air off the headers.
I’m sure I airbox is in the works at least from how much they talk about bad filter placement in their previous videos.
you're always scared to hear a price tag on something big but watching the care and precision and thought put into an engine build by Dave and his crew the price tag might shock you a bit but you can rest assured that it will be worth it. just seeing that they power wash the engine bay shows that they want it to go back to the customer as new as possible. ❤❤❤
Probably one of your best and quality builds to date, just like you and your business Dave, im always excited when you post!
Wow, thanks!
I love these long videos! They’re super informative, and while I’m a very competent mechanic I’m NOT a competent machinist. This info is priceless to me. Thank you for sharing it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! Love everything you all did and your meticulous attention to detail. I just wish the designers of that pro-charger did the same. They put the intake right above the engine so it’s sucking hot air. Hot air intake. 😅
Absolutely fascinating process and impressive work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wooo wee, what a sweet build you done there! ❤
Thank you! 😁
Only a person who has absolute confidence in his workmanship will test drive and burn out a vehicle like that directly after building the motor 😅
Well done, Dave's Auto!
The best of the best beyond any reasonable doubt.
Dave, this is one classy video! Very well filmed and nareated! Thanks
Thank you for the terrific video you guys. Aboslutely stunning too watch. Perfect up until the very end! You have heard from Gale Banks before right? That intake location means the engine is pulling in hot nasty air! Gotta get some kind of induction for the love that is all good for air density!
Your film & edit crew is excellent..
Thank you very much!
To whom it may concern,
Whoever was in charge of the making, editing, and over all vision of this video….. please make sure they are in charge of all future videos. Love this Chanel, and this video is what I was wanting….. MORE! Good work!
You guys are super bad ass engine builders. Bravo, bravo
Quality workmanship like this is why they have a successful shop. It's scary how many shops out there do terrible work. I run our family owned shop in business since 1989, much of the quality of work shown here is how we run our shop and it is very nice to see this.
Ohhh my gosh I’ve never heard such a perfect explanation of how/why to the crank balancing process.
I WANT my engine built there!
I love to have your videos playing in the background while I’m working but then i end up watching your video and having my work in the background haha
😂😂😂😂 for real
if you guys managed to put a school or corse together of how you goes do everything in detail, knowing how you perform your work i would love to take it
I really have enjoyed these build videos. I wish I could bring you my ride from Arkansas, and just watch you do all this in person. I’d say if I lived anywhere near you or your shop I would be begging to get a job. Keep up the great work, amazing TEAM of guys.
Man, thats a lot of programs in that Rottler. Working in IT, I hope you have all those backed up! Love the channel, keep up the great work!
Until now JAMSI was the only shop i seen actually measure the peeks and valleys in the bore. Glad to see you also check every detail
Love that channel as well. That cleaning guy really knows what he's doing.
Brilliant content and it’s nice to see when the mechanics work on the vehicles it’s almost as if they were working on their own vehicles 100% commitment 👏🏻👏🏻
One thing that caught my eye almost at the end is where the air filter was fitted in one of the hottest parts under the bonnet sorry hood 🙄🇬🇧🏴 keep up the great work!
I'm a good tech and engine builder, but you guys are next level, all at one location, precision, builders. I'd have to take stuff to one of very few machine shops i trust (on a good day) then lots of back ad forth long distance drives just to come close to what you guys do. I'll start saving for when my 2015 Transit 350, 3.5 ecoboost w/135k miles blows up and I'll come see you guys.
This is a super nice build Dave, Its so nice to see a shop do 💯First class work in a complete build like this! Keep up the awesome work my friends!👍
Nice Dave, look forward to watching this. Performance is inspiring!
With all those awesome machines and skills I would feel very confident if I dropped off my V10 BMW for a motor refresh with a stroker kit and some head work (cams and valve springs).. especially if its Joey building it 👍
By far this was the best video, cleanest build and informed process I have ever seen. I wish I could roll back time and learn from you all the special knowledge of machine work, ethics and professional manner of how to correctly build engines as you guys do. BRAVO!!! And thanks for sharing. I still got a million questions but I think I know most of the answers. Thank you Dave and crew. Fantastic job.
This is fascinating. I never knew what went into building an engine wow all the specialised tools and knowledge from years of experience.
I have been watching your videos for some time now and am truly impressed.
Your attention to detail is mind boggling.
Have you ever thought about breaking into the Aero Engine business. You have the equipment and knowledge and your team have the skills. You would just have to find a good certified Aero engine builder to certify the re-built engine.
There is good money in this field, but there are also a lot of bureaucracy to ensure that the re-build was done right and the engine will go to its overhaul time.
Just specialize in the Lycominig and Continental engines (air cooled horizontally opposed).
Watching from the uk im not an engine builder, hell im not even a mechanic..fascinating stuff 👍
That hoist is rad. I've been wanting to make mine electric hydraulic for some time.
Holden had to get some of the first of the 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engines which they fitted into the VT series 2: Commodore bored out to 0.010", hone the cylinders then fit oversized pistons and rings into them in 1999. In Australia & under warranty,I think that 0.010" is the maximum factory oversize allowable in a standard cylinder in an LS1 V8 engine !
Apparently a bad batch of pistons were fitted into some of the engines which caused excessive piston slap & oil consumption but by 2000 Chevrolet had rectified the problem, there was also an issue with their oil control rings in the U.S.
So,in Australia the engine was either rebuilt or replaced, someone had a couple of engines replaced because one of them still had the issue so a 2000 model Holden VX Commodore engine was fitted into his VT Commodore under warranty.
Mjne is a VY SS Commodore which is h h heading to 401,000 Kilometres (about 249,000 miles) & it has no oil consumption issues, it's original apart from the hydraulic lifters, the gaskets & seals !
hell yeah, nice video. Thanks Dave....and the boys. 🤘
I really like watching you rebuild that engine, I have been watching for good while, and I appreciate what you do .
And all advice you give on how to care of your engine, I am not mechanic but sure do love watching!!!! Thank you for the video’s
Cool, thanks
Great video Dave. You and your guys are killing it!
That block is GORGEOUS, hard to beleive it has 190k on it, looks brand new!
Top notch content
That must be so gratifying to build something like that from start to finish. Beautiful work gentlemen
It really is!
This is beautiful Dave, I always love the way you take care of your business, and your main source of income. (All your Spectacular Employees.) It's a True honor to watch your videos as a small business owner myself.
Many thanks!
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville as to you!🙏
Waiting for 5.0 Coyote segment
I have become a huge fan of Dave in like 3 weeks 😄
Great video learned a lot that I didn’t know about the engine machining process!!
Looks like a K38 Cummins engine block you have there as part of your counter. Nice choice on the Procharger.
Sold me on the cabinet engine lol
I heard the discovery channel collab , what’s up with that man where we at rn with that Dave .
The last we talked to the producer, he is waiting for the final greenlight to start
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville tracking ! I hope for great things on that show ! I’ll get the petition going for a 10 year reunion season ! Good day , God bless!
Long time subscriber here. This was one of my all-time favorites. You guys do amazing work and it's awesome to observe. Congratulations on 800 K subscribers 🙂
So Precise, I Love it!
I cry everytime dave uploads a new episode… words can’t express how beautiful these videos are.. hello from the 🇧🇸!
Hello there!
Dave you should put a remote control on that cherry picker so one dude can inspect for hangups, manipulate the motor and lift (or place).
Just a sweet video👌
To see the customer, watch an engine built RIGHT, to a huge smile on the test drive.
Great job to all mechanics involved.
👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville Thank you for expressing your knowledge 👌
Who else knows that as soon as you show up for a new upload from Dave's Auto that you can automatically hit "like" before even watching the video? I know that I can… And I do!!!!
My fav episode yet!!!!
Wow, thats what I call “a really really good boss” 😊😊😊
Sending it to California like that is diabolical 😂 guys gonna get so many tickets
I was late to work this morning buddy watching this video.. 😅 great video. Thank for sharing your expertise.
Thanks 👍
The knowledge these guys have is incredible
Beautiful Finished Motor
Nice thorough build! Air filter right above the header is insanity though
A good example why it’s important to have assets or little assets that has value and could create money. Like small businesses are very important to build and keep. He traded some cabinetry front desk for a engine fix to get his ride going. Great example of why it’s important to have small businesses.
Man, it’s this kind of pride in the craftsmanship, the process, AND the folks that work for him that make me wish I could work for Dave. Being a sheet metal worker in the AF, and retiring in a few years, definitely makes me wish I was a machinist instead haha.
Great build. Would look for a cold air intake for this application.
It does have an air intercooler but I was thinking the cool air intake would be a plus.
The food cart was epic 😂😂😂
Good morning Dave (allow me to address you like this). I'm from Portugal 🇵🇹 and I (kinda) got hooked to your channel a little by chance, just because I like mechanics explaining pure and simple. I'd like to ask for your opinion (if possible) in a doubt. I owe a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190D. The 2.000cc engine. I like to do a little (light)maintenance on it, sort of speak. One of these days, under it, I turned both ways the drive shaft. I noticed a little play. Not on the u joints. I'd say probably inside the diferencial, or the gear box. I recently had the complete clutch replaced (disk worn out), and apparently, the (Mercedes) mechanic didn't mention any gear box play. Do you think it might be the diferencial needing a little check-up? 'Cause he's starting to "sing" a little bit above a certain speed. Hope you get to see my post and provide you have some extra time you could tell me your opinion. Till then I send you and all your team my best regards.
Oh, forgot to say it's a 5 shi manual gear box
29:39 "Let's see if..." If? it's a supercharged 6.2 pickup. Beautiful job by the way.
Yikes, now the guy will need some drive train work!
Dave and team amazing work, i would love to send you my 1970 Ford 302 to have refreshed by your team. This motor is in my highschool car (mustang) my dad and i built when i was 13/14 yrs old. This was the second car i had bought at that age i worked bought a 1985 Toyota pickup sold that to buy the Mustang. Ill be 46 yrs old this new year in 2025 so ive had the car 32 yrs. I got injured pretty bad at work in November of 2023 and still recovering but ill be pulling the motor and changing it to power steering when im healed up so i can drive the car no matter what because right now im unable to. This shop is so clean and your whole team takes pride in their work and it shows. God bless 🙌
I like this style of video, please do more like this
Pretty cool, i run a Rottler EM105H for MTU, we strictly remachine MTU S83 Blocks atm, very intuitive machine. We need to maintain 20 micron tolerances and RAs of less than 16 on machined surfaces, this machine gets it done.
Love the product pitch from Dave as he wheels it through the shop, asking everyone what they want for lunch for working OT and through it, and then reality hits me. They all smile and take one and I`m thinking.......Are any of those guys with such a great boss going to say no? Dave " Hey Greg, how about the Alpo Chicken and rice in gravy sause"? Greg" Yum yum, can I have two boss"! All kidding aside, this is one bad ass channel, love the content!
