Hi Ron! How are you? Fancy finding you here. Go work on the kawasaki and stop watching TH-cam! 🤣 Remember when I told you about this guy and his channel, well I am glad you still enjoy his content as much as I love both of you guy's content! 😁
Boating accident. Classic. The more I watch this series (LOVE IT BTW), the more I realize a backyard engine rebuild isn't really that hard, just very tedious.
I quite respect and equally enjoy that the build isn't treated like a 5 figure, no holds barred, new everything build. It shows that the commoner is entirely capable of managing and affording a reasonable yet fun build in their garage.
I hear if you put WD40 into an engine three times at midnight, the spirit of Louis Chevrolet appears to tell you that engines handle all sorts of petroleum products just fine so don't worry about it 😄
A little tip for future v8 cam in block builds put the cam in first with the motor upside down this way you can reach in and help guide the cam into the bearings
I'm genuinely delighted you're just rolling with it. I feel like, while it won't be perfect, you won't have any actual problems. I look forward to seeing all the angry comments telling you to Do It Properly
You have a wicked sense of humour for the naysayers. I loved the wd40 video. Now a tragic boat accident. Masterful!! Love your videos. Just a long wait as you get through editing. But that’s all good. Keep it up!!!! Cheers from New Zealand (currently in lockdown ugh) 🤙🤙🤙
Just gotta say your videos are very informative, I’ve learned a lot from watching, you show the detail needed that everyone else doesn’t. Keep er coming👍
Ive been watching this series since episode 1 and i have to say it is by far my favorite series on youtube. I love how technical you are but at the same time very lenient about certain aspects. Makes for great content. Its also pretty educational. Thanks!
i run a .527/.544 lift Hyr roller cam on the stock non adjustable gen 6 and doesnt have a problem at all, back in early 2000 car craft did a write up on a 454 with a .598/.610 lift with the stock non adjustable rockers and worked just fine
idk if I have mentioned this before. If you use Permatex Number 3 aviation goop on paper gaskets you can reuse them many many times. Just don't spill it in your toolbox because you'll never get rid of it lol
Things you are taking off and on multiple times to test and tune. Just to generally not be wasteful. So you don't have to keep a stock of every gasket in your garage at all times. It might get you out of a tight spot when you're fixing something on the side of the road at midnight by light of a torch. Many reasons.
thank you for your time and effort sir,, you share your knowledge freely while in school not even teaching this cause the instructors are incompetent and lazy,
It'll be fine I took 80 grit to 3 cylinders on a 454 after soaking them in Coca-Cola for a week didn't even tear it down to hone the cylinders just blew it out with kerosene put some heads together worse than those put it in a 5 different Ltd derby cars and ended up putting it in a mud truck where it still just gets flogged on it puffs a little when it's cold but it just keeps running
Been really enjoying this series. I just hope that all of the hard work isn't for naught and it ends up making a window in the block. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Not being negative, just hope it all works out
Hehehe, yeah I know what you mean. I my self for the few engines I've rebuilt (a dozen small motors, and one AMC Straight 6), I would coat the cylinder walls and piston skirts with Valvoline 5W30. As you say, there is a dozen or so ways people rebuild engines.
6:00 does your manual say to use oil? It does change the amount of stretch you get out of the bolts and essential over tightens them if it doesn't as the spec will be dry if not.
Haynes manuals are not good at providing that type of information unfortunately, it just lists a number for everything with no additional information. What I've been taught is that pretty much any fastener inside an engine that doesn't need thread sealer should be lightly oiled. The more specific spec sheets I have seen for small block Chevy engines listed all the major fasteners (main caps, rod caps, screw in rocker studs, etc.) as oiled, so I feel safe to think that the big blocks would be no different
Bought a new valve just to throw in the water to troll commenters, gotta say, love the dedication.
Agreed, that slayed me
I looked for this
yep, love it. the engine had already been assembled for at least a year when the head video was uploaded.
Chefs kiss.
It's a budget engine but found just enough money to throw a new part away. Love it.
The man made a cool crayon drawing for us too. That's dedication
6:45 You weren’t being lazy, you were being time conscious and that is admirable

@@cristian6766 I am so sure he only found this channel because of you. Congrats, simp.
@@ipdjbt Oh my, look at you the big man, you showed me.
Just saw the third Kawasaki episode . Great one !!
I was one of the voices of concern over the valve.
That is the best way I've ever been told to mind my own business 👍

Your insurance company must hate you with all the boating related accidents that just keep happening
Sorry to see the 454 dropped a valve.
_F in the chat / D's out for Chevrolet._

you bought another valve just to throw it in the ocean? i've gotta say that's the most troll thing i've seen in my life and I love it.
6:25 absolute art! Really appreciate the time spent on this crayon drawing, that is on screen for less than a second!
i had to go back a second tiem to confirm that the drawing says "CLARENCE" instead of clearance. cracked me up

I look forward to every vid in the series. Dont be discouraged because of the views, we really appreciate your time and hard work.
What do you mean doscouraged, almost every vid of the series has more than 110k views
@@gontzi7 yea he gets lots of views for a channel of this size
That enhanced close up of the plastigauge was very helpful.

The rod cap torque clicking made my soul weep in joy. I could listen to that to help me sleep lol
17:32 thanks for editing those 16 clicks… very satisfying
Most underrated channel on youtube right here.
I literally just rewatched the last episode just waiting for the next upload!
Always a good day when you upload!
oh man i cant wait to see this engine fire up for the first time in a while
good job so far man im loving this rebuild series so far
These edits are getting better and better! I gotta admire the time taken to DRAW the rod cap plastigauge thingo for 5 frames of footage
I’ll bet this workhorse is good for 300 thousand miles! Beautiful work.
At 20:10 when you were talking about lubing your valve train parts to avoid damage, however, you didn’t per-soak your lifters in engine oil… D’oh!
Just gotta say your videos are very informative, I’ve learned a lot from watching, you show the detail needed that everyone else doesn’t. Keep er coming👍
In love with the organization and neatness
They should call this technique the "Roadkill Rebuild". 😎✌
I look forward to videos like these, they’re so relaxing.
Caught a good chuckle seeing that valve go swimming!✌😎🏴☠️
the comp cams red cam lube always works for me, no failures
Your humor is wonderful

I swear torque wrenches sound so nice when you edit them like you did when you installed the pistons
Lol this guy with the valve. Love your humor
Damn those 25 minutes passed by so quickly. God damn it!!! Again, love the channel!!!
Looking good! I've used several of the engine tech rebuild kits and have been happy with the results.

I love the OOPSIE on the valve into the water. Loved it! Keep up the good work yo.
the valve bit was great
IVE BEEN CHECKING IN EVERYDAY AFTER LAST EPSISODE FOR THIS
The boating accident was so funny 😂
Mint. Loving this build, even more so after watching you drop that valve overboard to troll the mouthpieces!
Real Car Mechanic Simulator 2021, love it!
boating accident, that was the funniest fuckin thing Ive seen on this channel. totally wasnt expecting it mate, cheers
With all of this work you've done, this engine better run better than it has ever done before, bombproof hopefully
That valve is down there with all my old guns R.I.P.
idk if I have mentioned this before. If you use Permatex Number 3 aviation goop on paper gaskets you can reuse them many many times. Just don't spill it in your toolbox because you'll never get rid of it lol
Why the hell would you wanna even try to reuse a paper gasket 🤣🤣🤣

@@JamieBainbridge Fair enough
thank you for your time and effort sir,, you share your knowledge freely while in school not even teaching this cause the instructors are incompetent and lazy,
Been watching this build since you started it I am extremely interested to see how this thing runs
It'll be fine I took 80 grit to 3 cylinders on a 454 after soaking them in Coca-Cola for a week didn't even tear it down to hone the cylinders just blew it out with kerosene put some heads together worse than those put it in a 5 different Ltd derby cars and ended up putting it in a mud truck where it still just gets flogged on it puffs a little when it's cold but it just keeps running
11:05, Those things have HUGE combustion chambers.
25:20 ah yes, those 2am "why did I do that" moments.
Hey! I found that valve you dropped in the water. Let's get it put in.
I love the clicky clicky clicky
Boy, was I waiting for this episode :D
awesome work man. these videos are worth waiting for
Probably the best series out there
Loved the valve part !:))
Another great video, loving this engine build series 👍🏻
I've waited two months for this 🤙🏼
Been really enjoying this series. I just hope that all of the hard work isn't for naught and it ends up making a window in the block. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Not being negative, just hope it all works out

I CANT WAIT TO HEAR IT RUN!!!!!
Great video as always!
Love it I am so excited to see you get this beautiful engine running
I use Lucas oil stabilizer for assembly lube it's very thick and works well
Great episode, love the intake valve bit!
Ever entertaining and educational. Was looking forward to this and voilà !
killed it awesome job!
You should of taken that lift gate hatch assembly fishing too, what at lot fun it looked like.
Like how you address the snarks.
60's 70's 80's GM spare tire J hook bolt is awesome for installing camshafts, You can find them at the junkyard or buy a reproduction one for cheap.
Some cheeky comments in this one…. I loved it!
We love seeing your videos. I was like oh shit new video noice
8:24 That's the reason why you become a mechanic
As always a great video.
I'm curious to see how this engine performs with the old valves.
good camera and lighting.
Such an awesome series 👍
First! Was wondering when the next video would be! How convenient!
Thanks the boating safety tip... (Funny).
I think I willed this episode into being because several days ago I yearned for an update. It was a solid yearn too.
Derek from Vice Grip Garage shows a great way to tighten rockers
6:25 Best CSI enhance haha 😂
When you think about it, you can see this as a 4 cylinder engine rebuild if you ignore second bank
6:00 does your manual say to use oil? It does change the amount of stretch you get out of the bolts and essential over tightens them if it doesn't as the spec will be dry if not.

Nice vid i miss my old 69 bonnie 2dr with a 428
The ENHANCE!!!!😂😂
I really hope those lifters don't collapse. Alot of people are having issues with that.
I've got a set in my engine. One was a little noisy on startup with the ST15w40 but barely makes a peep now with the GTX Classic 20w50.
****Standard long comment warning****
That lake looked like lake Charlevoix in Northern Michigan
I was so happy he bought a valve.... Now I'm sad. Good.luck man.
Hate when I mix up my new valves and sinkers 😔
Hell yeah, been excited for this!
Lol he really dropped a brand new valve into a lake
Thank you, THANK YOU for not caving on that valve!! You really had me worried there for a minute 😅
never seen cheaper than this guy hhhhhh gj man we like it oem hhhhh
Rod bearings will never have .029” clearance. I’m assuming you meant to say .0011-.0029” clearance as a high side recommendation.
It feels like the pieces in contact with the Camshaft are Hydraulic adjustable
Aah, the fabled tragic boating accident, finally captured on film.
