Formula Atlantic 4age Build Part 2

Hey guys
In this video we get the bottom end of this Formula Atlantic 4age together and Mat form ‪@mtperformanceengines3508‬ shows us his method of checking bearing clearances.
Thanks for all the support.

This stuff is too cool, I just got done bingeing the 7AGE series

[@danielcgomez]

Masterclass on building an engine. Love all the tool usage tips Niko! ...keep 'em coming!

[@NEVER-LIFT]

I love making these videos and Mats a great teacher so there should be plenty more to come 👍

[@eros20V]

I appreciate the knowledge gained from years of engine building . Great job.

[@NEVER-LIFT]

Thank you

[@martinrodger9565]

These videos are gold.
Thank you to all involved for your time, experience and openness. Getting to see things the majority will never get close to is a gift.
Inside micrometer over dial bore gauge is an interesting method I’ve not seen and looks good. I suspect there is marginal (like tiny) error from inside tool being hotter from body heat transfer than outside tool but zero issue as you trust the process on good experience.
Thank you.

[@NEVER-LIFT]

Thanks for your support 👍

[@Codriver72]

I learn something new every time. Big thanks to you both for the time and effort. It is a privelege to follow this build. I have a 16v I rebuilt last year and soon there will be a 20v silvertop on my engine stand.

[@NEVER-LIFT]

I learn something new every time I see Mat too lol, Thanks for the kind words mate.
You can never have too many 4age engines 💪

[@mtperformanceengines3508]

Hell yeah bro, don't be scared to attempt any aspect of building motors, it's just adult Lego's

[@radezlojutro8872]

Very very nice ❤

[@25kmgb]

Master class in bottom end assembly! This is why race engines cost so much.

[@NEVER-LIFT]

Yeah but lets not mention head work costs (its a touchy subject 😢)

[@nick_parker]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Hopefully I'll end up putting together a bottom end one day.

[@NEVER-LIFT]

Thanks for the support bro, It's definitely a cool feeling when you get a motor you built started for the first time. Hope it goes well for ya!

[@mtperformanceengines3508]

Do it brother just absorb as much info as you can and don't be afraid to give it a go

[@MatthewHa]

Loving these videos mate, I make my own ring compressors, go to a machine shop and ask for a parted off liner and machine it to a few thou over bore size, then machine in a 7 degree taper and you'll be putting pistons in twice as fast with alot less error for ring damage on installing

[@NEVER-LIFT]

Very cool, I think I might have to buy Mat an ARP one for one of his birthdays as I don't have the machines or skillset to make one lol

[@MatthewHa]

@199niko199 I'm an engine machinist, I'd be happy to make you one when we get a liner the right size

[@mtperformanceengines3508]

Im also an engine reconditioner by trade and done my time at LW parry engenering I was considering making my own ring cone but I literally haven't had the time 😅

[@MatthewHa]

@@mtperformanceengines3508 I Def reckon you should, dunno how you use the blue band ones bloody hate them 😂 I've just been making them for every engine I've been putting together when we have the right size liner cut off. Got a good collection now 😊

[@Makeorbreak1]

Thanks fellas

[@nzuncovered1845]

Awesome content, I am currently building up my AE111 Levin Blacktop as a good N/A street car. What pistons would you recommend? I was thinking TODA, although I have heard that JE pistons are the lightest for 4AGE?

[@markolisica1132]

Hey can you guys tell me what’s a better engine for my skyline? A Gallo 12 or Gallo 24?

[@mtperformanceengines3508]

The 24 100% it's double the amount

[@tehzisheng]

Hey do you sell completed engine? Shipped to Singapore?

[@ICTPerformance268]

🇦🇬
No disrespect, Carpenter Claw Hammer really goes against my grain 😬🥴😵‍💫. Brass or Dead Blow Hammer next time please.
🙇🏾‍♂️

[@NEVER-LIFT]

We were actually having a laugh about this off camera😂

[@mtperformanceengines3508]

Sometimes you can catch me in thongs (flip-flops to the americans) and sometimes I build motors in my underpants, when I'm alone anyway lol

[@nel2556]

Are there any engine builders with as much 4ag experience as Mat in NorCal?

[@crazihippo92]

I doubt it. I'm assembling my 20v turbo motor after machining with advice from him on a few things

[@ericohman]

Man, go buy yourself a dial bore gauge :) I'll donate. Btw, are all your tools in inch? Is metric uncommon over there?

[@mtperformanceengines3508]

Don't need a dial bore gauge they take to long to work and I can measure just as accurately with inside mic, most reconditioning equipment and parts are made in America so I use both metric and imperial and constantly convert back and forth
