These videos are solid gold. I'm getting ready to build my first performance engine and I'm doing copious amounts of research before I turn a single wrench. Thanks for the time put into these videos.
That's really cool....thanks Greg
Greg Peters you my friend are a smart man. If you have a place other than a dusty garage that you can assemble it would be ideal. You cannot be clean enough. Do not run fans unless you really know how to create a good down draft system.
CarPassionChannel!!!! Finish the install already
Same here!
There's several good books that I read what I started building one is Bill Jenkins smokey yunick a few other books basics of building good race motors
Excellent! I hope these are appreciated because it adds hours to building an engine....I can put in a crank in 30 minutes....but this video added 3 hours. But I am happy helping..
I’ve built hundreds of race car engines nothing about it was clean. I’ve never had a problem as long as you actually know what your doing👌
You've been lucky....hundreds of times. The purpose of the video is to encourage people to work as clean as possible. I've never had an engine fail because it was too clean.
Now we know why you built hundreds. Poor quality control
I have been looking for videos for my two boys because frankly I am a horrible teacher. Your videos are absolutely perfect. You don't rush the explanation of details, and you explain things in a way that a teenager can understand what you are saying. Excellent work!
Thank you Jason, that was my goal while making them, so they would be easy for anyone to understand.
i used to do all this when i was younger working in a garage ... but after buying new vehicles for years on end i kinda forgot all i learned back in the day but your videos sure brought it all back for me as i am now restoring a 79 f150 super cab and motor i will rebuild myself. thanks for all the detail in your vids! awesome channel!!
Thank you very much....and good luck with your F150
My friend...that is an incredibly generous and humbling comment...I thank you. I am sharing what I know because when I started working on cars, there was no TH-cam. I had to learn the hard way. I want to help in any way I can, and for just a guy working in his shop, this is the best way I can.
Your Videos are excellent. I hate when people make educational videos like this with low quality cameras, horrible scripting, and bad angles, but you sir, have hit the nail on the head. Thank you.
Thank you very much Mitchell. I'm trying to be as helpful as possible.
this man speaks the engine building gospel. Foreign Materials is the word for the day. I had destroyed my crank and cam simply because I didn't remember to clean out the crank oil ports, then later, I put the block in the truck, covered it with plastic, outside, not in a garage, and I suspect the landscapers blew off the driveway, and more dirt came in through the timing chain cover I had off. Port one was clogged, completely, with the metal it took off the bearings and the journal on cylinder one, starved out the front journal of the cam, and ground them down in the initial twenty minute start up. It only takes a few minutes to kill it. Be OCD, follow the rules, keep everything immaculate. Thanks for the advice and going a few steps further than the MIT rules, and twenty rules further than the state tech schools.
That really sucks, but you are right, it only takes a split second to ruin an engine
Pete when I get ready to rebuild and engine I know who to watch.. GOD has given you a give of instruction and teaching and you do it very well..keep up the good work
Thank you Brandon....I thank him daily.
really, god gave it to him?
He learned it himself, give him credit
@@elianioriofarrellyou can't teach people how to teach. Just like you can't teach someone to be a salesman. They either possess that ability or they don't.
@@garlandjones7709 that doesn't mean it's "god" given mate, so my point still stands
Now I'm paranoid lol, I'm just going to wear a hazmat suit just to be sure.
Nah....just a hat and some gloves
Its more serious than Ebola. This motor must be inside a full sterile environment. If mis handled you can spread an epidemic of rust to all other motors.
Hahahahah
Lmaoff
Shave head and nude up.. ..except for latex gloves.
Ready to go..
~ laughs ~
I have watch this video over and over because it's so informative it the holy grail when it comes to cleaning and installation of parts
Glad it was helpful!
God Bless Petes Garage! I checked my rod & main bearings, 40% had defect with half of those super defects. I would have never thought that could happen. I got different set of bearings from Mahle/ Clevite, double the price of the Kings Bearings but they're much better made and I wasted the money I spent on them. You get what you pay for.Thanks Pete.
God bless you my friend
Crankshaft end float (thrust bearing clearance) is better measured using a dial gauge rather than feelers - if the centre cap is offset by a couple of thou then all your end float has gone! I always tap the crank back & forward afteer setting the centre main to ensure the cap is sitting corectly and the crank has its correct end float.
Plastigauge should be used on the crank journals BEFORE lubrication otherwise the lube will take up some of the clearance.
I agree, but how about checking clearance on all the thrust bearings with the feeler?
Thank you for the excellent video, needed introduction dealing with Foreign Material in engines, most novices including myself would not think a little paper fiber would effect a crankshaft. God Bless
+jonathan bosco Thanks Jonathan. Many people criticize me for being too particular, but I tell them I've never had an engine fail because it was too clean
I am going to school for small engine repair and learn from your videos. donyboy73 the small engine doctor also preaches cleaning engines and alert for FM
+Petes Garage I have been watching your videos for a good while and I think the way you cover everything and are so particular makes it worth watching. im starting a 351w stroked to 408 and I wouldn't have been able to start without your help!
Soon after high school, dad helped me restore a 1959 Mercedes 220S, OHC 6 cylinder. Currently I'm rebuilding a Toyota 22R and decided I better brush up, since it's been around 45 years since I've done an engine from scratch. Did I ever come to the right place!! I can not imagine a better instructional video on rebuilding engines...and I've only watched this one!! Incredibly thorough! I can't wait to see the rest of them, particularly your take on fitting piston pins. Thank you! Off I go...
Thank you very much my friend. Have fun with your 22R
FM... no static at all! Love the steely dan reference! Great video with extensive detail. Thank you!
Everything has a music lyric in it somewhere, if you listen to what the man said
I do this daily in Aircraft Engineering, trade practices is key. Everything you mention is exactly what we do day in, day out. I just know this will start first time and run like a dream :). Couldn't have done it better myself.
Thank you Kinsley. As tolerances become tighter and tighter, cleanliness is going to be the number one concern.I have never taken an engine apart and listed the cause of failure as "too clean" lol.
Hi! So I am planning on going into the Navy for mechanics and using the G.I. Bill to get into ITT Tech or Perry Tech for the same thing and your videos have truly made me excited to go! :D Thank you so much for all the information.
Pete, these are great videos. Getting ready, I mean in the planning stages of building a Ford 4.0 ohv v6 for my 1996 Explorer.
I will admit I tend to be the king of shortcuts. Thanks for reinforcing planning, cleanliness, proper tools and techniques, and most importantly, patience.
Some of the videos I watch will make you winch.
A++ for video quality, clarity, and super detail. No other videos are better than this. Please continue..
I'm working on it
Wow, just after you talked about FM or foreigh material and getting 10x loop glasses, you were zoomed in on the bearing and I watched FM land on it! lol Accidental point driven home :) 7:00
+DE Nichols It's amazing what you can see when you look. When someone tells me something is clean I say "how clean?"
After I finish making this series I will make a short version of the whole build....great idea!
I just picked up a 95 351W with an AOD out of a truck to put in a 65 F100. Going to tear it down and go the 408 route with an Eagle Stroker ki, aluminum heads and intake.
I just came across these videos and Wow. Great source of info and knowledge, I'll Definitely Be Using Your Videos On This One.
Thank Ya.
Awesome! Good luck
Dude,...THE BEST HOW TO VIDEOS EVER!! No annoying background music, not trying to be a friggin comedian, AWSOME! Clear, Concise,Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge! Subed
Thanks dude! There are more coming. Thanks for watching
The guys at NAPA think I am crazy because I will return wheel bearing races and bearings even if I imagine a small scratch. Why bother doing all of that work and have doubts,
+bg147 Some guys just don't get it. When I buy a part it should be in perfect condition, especially a bearing
Their lack of knowledge is why their day job is at NAPA instead of NASA. I've gotten bad answers at 2 common automotive stores recently. They each said that you only add sulfuric acid to a lead acid battery when solution is low. As a disclaimer there are good knowledgeable employees at automotive stores, but not many.
@@williambranham6249 I went in to an auto parts store looking for a 6 pt socket, I don't remember what size, it's not important really. Dude told me they are hard to find, they're all 12 pt. I went to another store, bought two, kept the one I needed, and went back to store 1, tossed dude the second one and told him they're as common as a hex head bolt and left. I don't do business there anymore.
@@jimgriggs2184 Waaay late, but I am going to guess 10mm. :D
Leave my 1928 Fiat out of this!
This guy's off his nut. Everyone knows a 28 Fiat's TDC aligns with cylinder 3.
Hey, my FIAT has #4 TDC, but that also means #1 is at TDC at same time.
Can't thank you enough for these videos, so hard to find someone who goes into the details while still being easy to understand for novices. Thank you!
+Ryan Tucker I'm all about helping everyone Ryan. glad it helps you. Thanks for watching my friend
Parvez, being clean during a performance build or even a stock build is critical. I don't think this point can be repeated enough to someone new to engine building. Pete's enthusiasm is just character and being generous to produce detail like this is great. Made me buy lint free gear.
Awesome ..... Totally enjoying these tutorials cheers
Guns and engines, I like it!
This video is gold, getting ready to start an ls build in my apartment living room, hope this place is clean enough lol
Thanks my friend, I'm glad it helped
This is the best considering I spent 6 months learning mechanics during a lay off from work. Done a lot of work on my vehicle from just youtube vids. No nothing about engines and how they are built. Learning a ton every vid. Love the extra care info, especially watching for bugs. Seen some very odd stuff construction so your wisdom given on experience Pete is epic. Thank you :)
+Codey Hanna Thank you my friend....I hope you find work soon
+Petes Garage Thanks. found work on week off. Will update when I get the chance to paint my rust parts on truck.
Sick videos! You derserve more viewers. Super educational.
Thank you my friend. Hopefully more people find what I offer.
Just for those wondering - I've used over 10 sets of Clevite 77's with zero defects from the manufacture.
I prefer Clevite also. I have never purchased a set with defects, but I have collected some just to show what to look for.
I use King's myself never had a issue with those, and they are all in 4 diget number motors ;) But Clevite's is a fine bearing as well
Sooner or later they all have issues. King and Clevite included. They're produced by humans and everyone needs to check
If any of you aren't subscribed to Pete, you need to be. Pete's garage has some of the best videos out there on YT. He's a stand up guy and knows what he's talking about. SUBSCRIBE! Thanks for the videos pete. Keep them coming.
Every post has been a wealth of knowledge from you. The real life manner of your video presentation is remarkable, keeps the attention going. Thanks
I'm just a regular guy trying to help...thanks for watching
***** So if you get bad bearings from the manufacturer what should you do with them?
contact the company and send them back
Thank you. That is really helpful!
Love to see a craftsman who cares about what he is doing,
making a point to do it right the first time.
Thank you my friend
bro all i can say is thank you. you talk a lot and that's what i needed. thanks again
I HAVE A 1928 FIAT AND #3 IS ACTUALLY TDC
+TheHonestCactus SEE! Gotta trust an honest cactus
***** Haha thanks for your videos man, very insightful and detailed. I'm planning on building a 350 sbc with a mechanic friend of mine soon and thanks to you I'm not going to look like an idiot.
+TheHonestCactus It's my job to look like the idiot so you won't.....just make sure you know the difference between foot and inch pounds....lol
Petes Garage Old comment, I just find it funny. My buddy and I are always encountering bolts that felt like the Incredible Hulk put them in and even some that absolutely do not need to be very tight. I'm now at least trying to make sure fewer of them are from myself. Lol
14:13 "you can drop your crank in, we'll talk about lubrication....."
Did I really say that....lol
I like the way that you explain things! Thank you alot!
Thank you my friend!
I'm about to put a 351m together. Thanks for this video. It's a huge help
Good luck
MFing FMs .... :(
geat videos
Got a bearing full of scratches and they told me it won’t affect my engine lol.
My reply would be "if scratches don't matter then every bearing should have some right from the manufacturer"
Literally getting ready to tackle my first engine rebuild. So glad I stumbled upon this channel and videos. What great information!! Looks like I got a lot of watching and research to do before I even think about touching my engine.
Awesome! You can do it. Take your time and have fun!
i just wanted to say thank you for the videos! im an aspiring car mechanic and im about to take on my first project! a 1970 mustang and turn it into a racer. your videos are helping me a lot and just make me want to start right away! thank you for the vids and keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Dylan! I'll keep up the good work and you do the same! Remember me when you are rich and famous
I am working on my first motor(engine) rebuild and have been watching TH-cam videos to get some tips and by far this is the best I have watched so far. Taking notes like crazy.
That's awesome, thanks and good luck
These videos are perfect for me. I’m getting ready to install the crankshaft in my 87’ 560SL and your videos are helping me since I have never rebuilt an engine before. There are no videos on TH-cam of anyone rebuilding a 560SL (M117) engine, but I figure the basics are the same.
Yes, the basics are the same. I try to make videos that can be applied to all engines
I like that Steely Dan reference, and I LOVE that Krinkov hanging on the wall in the background man! You are so inline with what I consider a working man it's unbelievable! Respect my brother!
Privat3Kag3 Thank you my friend. Cars, Music and the 2nd Amendment!
*****
Well Said man! By the Way, If ya ever have any Firearm related questions Feel free to inquire! I am a trained Gunsmith.
That's awesome. We need more gunsmiths and less politicians.
*****
I would substitute Gunsmith with Hard workers ahahahaha! Agreed however!
Thank you for the video. A while ago my uncle put new bearings in my 96 gst, we were outside and never even checked them for scratches or for dust. I will check out more videos you have. Thank you for the hard work
+Zein Diaz it never hurts to be clean. Thanks for watching
Thank you very much for providing this instructional video. The whole process was explained with clear detailed language and excellent close inspection video. Great job my man!!
thank you very much my friend
I went to Federal Mogal bearing school back in the 60's,
Your tutorial was Great, Thanks
Thanks William
these videos are great seriously, I am only studying level 2 mechanics in college & its always good to find more information on engines like this on youtube, keep it up man - from the UK
Thank you my friend
+Petes Garage
hi pete! i didn't want to comment until I'd watched the complete rebuild series...
I'm no mechanic, not trained anyway, but i never knew how important it is to be aware of FM. obviously, crumbs, grit or grime are an issue, but i was left gobsmacked when you explained that a human hair (and also a very hairy home-workshop dog, in my case, lol) or that a wee strand of fibre from a paper towel could ultimately lead an engine to it's untimely demise. it's astounding that something as solid and powerful as an engine has such micro tolerances.
I've learned more in a few of your videos than i can even begin to express here. the engine which I'll be 'sharing some love with' soon, is momentarily residing in my beloved 1993 suzuki GSX-R 750 W - same mechanical principles, albeit in a smaller (and more fiddly) package.
after my 'friend' smashed the Suzie in a crash, the engine hasn't been turned over at all.....that was about 10 years ago (a long-arse story of woe).
what would you recommend, mate? should I do a complete engine overhaul (oil rings, gaskets, etc)...or is there another procedure I could/should follow?
a mate of mine, suggested pouring a bit of gun oil into each cylinder via the sparkplug openings....letting it 'soak' and then try cranking the engine by hand. personally, I'd prefer the rebuild option for the sake of peace of mind...
anyways, thankyou for taking the time and making the huge effort to create these videos, pete! your teaching methods are impeccable...without a doubt, best I've seen on youtube.
take care man and I cannot wait to hear what this engine sounds like when it's done!
Thanks Pete, You are probably the most thorough guy on engine building I have seen. I will follow your techniques in my build which will come up in the near future. Excellent help.
Is a great video on motor rebuilding ...have rebuilt hundreds of high performance motorcycle motors and have learnt to defiantly not to trust what comes out of a box.. have always used plasti guage for oil clearance ..there are no shortcuts doing this job but have always believed that everything has to be just about surgically clean....
I agree Billy. Many comments think I'm too picky, but I've never had an engine fail from being to clean
Hey Pete, fantastic video series. One of the best out there! Thank you, Gary
Thanks Gary!
I'm getting ready to build a machined AMC 360 block with many internal aftermarket parts. Great video on shop and workplace cleanliness.
Thanks James
Don't know a thing about engines but these videos are helping a great amount. I'm inspired to try and build my own engine someday.
Also had a laugh at the AK in the background if anyone noticed.
The AK is only for when my dog takes a nap.....lol
Very informative and helpful videos, Sir. Thank you. I have been watching this Ford block build series before I do mine.
Good luck with yours Cody
I didn't watch the whole thing because I just wanted to learn what a crankshaft was. I appreciate the video. It was pretty good for the amount that I watched.
Thank you Carson
Thanks for your very informative videos, I will review them a lot , My dad left me all his Fords ,garage filled w/engines ,tools, books,stuff since 62'. I want to pull a 73' winsor and check front of crank for possible broken key way insert. It lost timing ,would not start after a short very good run. He cut then welded the key slot, may have put an insert that sheared off.
That's awesome...you're lucky
By far the best video series i have seen on engines This guy is awesome
Thanks my friend
very humble guy love these videos i havent even started a project yet but this is really helping me prep for it i know i will go into a project with confidence Thank you
+Robert Jackson Thank you so much Robert. The videos are not about me. I make them to help you.
What a nice video! I did a rebuild on my engine (6G72TT mitsubishi, very pesky 90s engine), it was my first rebuild so I was scared and checked every little detail on the service manual, asked a lot of guys from the platform, lot of questions from the machinist and the shop that did the heads/block, it was a lot of stuff that I learned and you showed most of the tips that I found the hard way, thanks a lot!!
+Alberto Alberto Alb That is the best way to learn my friend....keep up the great work!
glad to see your still making videos, I was surprised this was from 2013! Very helpful in my engine rebuild, I will throw away all paper towels!
Glad I could help
Great video, close shots, clear explanation of examples. Thank you
Thanks James
Pete, your videos are amazing and helpful to so many. I always enjoy watching videos such as these for little reminders that people may forget now and then. I noticed when you torqued one of your main bolts it appeared as though your hand was up on the shank of the torque wrench, this will give a faulty torque value. Again, not trying to knock any work, it easily could have been camera angle. I'm just trying to help out and spread knowledge! To all the small hotrodders out there, let the building commence! :)
Hey Stefan...thanks for the comment. You are absolutely correct. For intermediate steps I may hold the torque wrench differently, but on the final torque step I always hold the torque wrench on the end and pull. Sometimes, depending on position, I may have to steady the socket end, but that is only to hold the socket square to the bolt. Thanks for sharing your tips!
very professional and very clean work very nice thank you and very rich of helpful information thanks for serving the community of automobiles we are so proud of you sir and I wish to you the happiest and blessing life for you and your family and your lovers thank you so much, my friend
That is very kind of you. Thank you very much!
Thank you man out of all the things i watch to learn on here you've been the most helpful
Thank you Justin
@@PetesGarage no problem bud
Dear pete, as a racing engine builder, your videos are great for teaching semi-newbies more in depth detail before having them help me on an engine job (i like to teach newbies how to do typical work on engines.) however i noticed that you did not advise to be careful with the feeler guages in checking clearence on the thrust bearings as you can easily scratch / gouge the lobes / crank, or the bearing with the feeler guage. Thanks! -Chris from CG Race Shop
Bow Down That is an awesome comment. Absolutely...you have to be careful with tools. One dropped screwdriver or socket can nick a journal or bearing. Thanks!
Thanks for everything, Pete. I'm looking to build my first engine and this series of videos are by far the best on TH-cam!
Thanks my friend...good luck
Reason I ask is, the wonderful detail you put into that motor was like art. Being a mechanical engineer, I love motor art, and you are an artist as well as a motor head!
Hey Pete thanks for your videos. I used to build aircraft engines in a clean room and even then we were constantly worried about FOD(Foreign Object Debris) or FM as you said. I'm rebuilding my wife's honda pilot engine in my garage and I'm freaking out about lint. Thanks for giving me a good foundation to keep it at a minimum.
As long as you are conscious of it and keep it to a minimum you will be fine
That is exactly what will happen. I did not go through what every defect will cause, just what to look for and not use. I try to make them short and succinct, but they are getting a bit too long. Thanks for watching.
I love the girdle suggestion and good timing for my build. Thks
It definitely adds considerable strength.
watching your videos straight.... and they are very very useful and exactly what I wanted, thank your sir.
+shayson1357 Awesome! I'm glaad to help
Thanks for all your engine build videos, now I wanna move from imports engines to all American muscle.
Now you're talking.....there's no replacement for displacement
***** is that true? my teacher would tell me there is no such thing as bolt on horsepower, i wonder if he was talking about turbos and superchargers....increasing bore and changing engine internals is not considered bolt on right?
Correct. You can bolt on a better intake, carb, heads, headers...many things boost efficiency leading to more horsepower. That does not include taking it apart and machining.
***** thank you i stayed up watching your videos till 4 am lol ....i am learning a lot, my dad is a mechanic but u know i think its hard to know where to start cus he specializes on differentials and transmissions....
r
anyway i was thinking of building a 22r toyota engine carbureted ...it is a 2.4 but it only makes 100 hp i was thinking of fixing it up or do you think i should just swap a bigger or newer engine...because nowadays a 1.6 can make that much power lol thank you for all this
Did I miss something in your video on blocks? Watching this video I noticed you did not mention the block main threads. After many years of being called Mr. Pissy for being over kill on cleanliness and double checking. It has done my heart good to see you over and over state the importance of checking for F/M. But I have yet to see you mention the checking and cleaning the threads. I have seen catastrophic failure more and more in fresh built engines because of F/M in bolt holes. Not to mention reusing over stressed bolts. I always clean and run a bottom tap in every bolt hole in a block. Especially the high stress head and crank thread holes. It can save a false torque and blown engine. I have been amazed and shocked at the stuff I have pulled out of head as well as main crank thread holes. And always use new bolts. But I do like your videos.
Thank you. You are 100% correct. I am making the intake manifold installation video now. I will include thread cleanliness. I have seen failures from poor threads as well. I could make a video just on bolts.
Awesome series of videos Pete. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm restoring my 1974 Alfa Romeo Berlina rebuilding the engine. Even thou a very different engine the basics apply.
Haroldo Rodriguez I wanted to keep the videos applicable to all engines. That's a cool car....enjoy!
Good job I learned a lot and that would help me to build engine. Looking forward to seeing you build engines of different brands. Thank so much for your
Cool, thanks
Hey man great video ! lots of good info, you clearly know ur stuff.
not to nit pick but you should be using molly or arp molly lube on the threads of your bolts to ensure proper torque or stretch. Due to the heat between threads when torquing you will need to check to make sure they have not stretched to much with a stretch guage before reuse if you rebuild for maintenance next season.
Very good video.
I did use the lube that came with the ARP bolts. I did not show that but you are correct. Thanks for the comment.
excellent video, very good information and tips
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks again for educating me again.. you tube is great just watch again and again. You are building the best, It is confirming what I will be building.
Awesome! It doesn't look to bad if you are careful and inspect everything.
You got that right!
Thank you very much i had never hear about thrust bearing your explain is very good and a valuable information thanks.
Glad to help
They are not too long it's the detail that make these videos the best
Your workshop is very professional and clean.
I love it.
Thanks my friend. A clean sop makes me want to be there.
Great attention to detail and keeping the work surfaces clean. He makes me feel like I'm in a mechanics class. Hell i have watched a ton of rebuilds and some guys just throw the motor together. Not saying either way, but you have to wonder if its all worth the time and effort to go through all this.
I always say I've never had an engine fail because it was too clean.
I agree with the clean part, i was just saying how some guys on here, just throw together
Thanks very much for sharing this with us very good videos very informative
Thanks Jesse
He speaks the truth. I wiped down cam journals on my YFZ450R with a Microfiber towel and then mocked it together with the cams in place. The cams wouldn't turn, period, not even with a wrench. I had to use motor oil to take up the contaminant, and then a solvent to wash everything away. Now everything turns smooth as glass. FM will mess anything up immediately.
Thank you so much.these videos will save me money
I'm glad they help
Great video. Look forward to seeing what else you have posted. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Thanks my friend
Yes...those were all scrap bearings. That metal is a piece of tin, very soft. I use a plastic table to set parts on while I clean them and stage just before installation.
Hey great series getting ready to freshen up a engine so was just looking for quick refresher and you did great job
Glad I could help
Thanks for the professional information's , Good job 👍🇺🇸
Any time!
A master of his craft
Thanks RJJR
I didn't touch on lube because there are so many variables. I always recommend following the bolt manufacturers recommendations because it is too easy to strip or snap a fastener. Thanks for watching!
