Awesome videos so far buddy. Got my sub. Just keep goin in depth with everything. Would love to see more of how u measure things. Such as cam end play, cylinder bore, valve train, etc etc. Learned alot with wat uve produced so far. Thanks again

[@JacobVillemain]

Thank you!

[@lit549]

another awesome video, great content..

[@ls87gbody]

I can comfortably say this is my favorite engine building channel.

[@JacobVillemain]

Thank you!

[@bigal878]

Great tech video 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@Joeylucio22]

Great content very informative

[@reason2gether]

How did you align the snap gauge to the correct step on the retainer? Would it not be easier and more accurate to use a height mic?

[@dailydrivenmuscle.]

Me buying BTR springs, using clay, with .68 pv clearance on intake, full send to 7000rpm. Love the vids

[@Supanova70]

If i have steel heads to i even need spring locators?.490 lift cam. just use shims to set valve installed height and be done.?

[@stephennummie7631]

Can you put a link where we can get a set of those heads

[@lit549]

id love to hear your take on lifter bleed rates and todays hydraulic roller camshafts. Ive had issues with motors in the past where the lifter bleeds down too fast, which cause issues on initial start ups, ive never got a legit answer from the cam manufacturers as to why this happens and what the remedy is. ive seen countless discsussion on forums and no one ever has an answer either.

[@ls87gbody]

I've heard of it also. I used to approach it differently. I thought it was me not choosing the correct lifter for the spring pressure I was running but now I'm starting to think otherwise.

[@lit549]

@@ls87gbody i agree, i think its a widespread problem that probably just boils down to a compromise.. Although ive heard of guys using solid lifters on a roller cam, sounds interesting..

[@ID1886]

I looked on the website for the heads but didn't see anything, where can I get some info on them?

[@patrickwendling6759]

👍🏼

[@franybotesh674]

So I got a stupid question
I’m going to rebuild a f22b1 in a accord (I know get the h22)
I plan to regrind the cam once I start rebuilding the engine and tranni
Why would I need to do this? To find how much lbs it can take in pressure?
And how would I know how much pressure my engine would produce

[@slowazbmwkilla3073]

How much bind is safe on a stock ls6 on dual valve spring

[@Fl4m3thro3er]

What’s the best way to send you pictures? I recently bought aa 6.2L out of an 11-13 Escalade that I’m turning into an Ls3. I have a few questions that I’m not able to find on the forums and I want to do it right.

[@timweb1510]

Can you help me with a cam question for a 5.3 please? I’m trying to choose among three

[@JacobVillemain]

I can spec one for you but not help decide amongst other manufactures

[@brainwashed7244]

I mean no offense by this , but if you don't know what a retainer is you don't know what a lock is you don't know what a spring is or cylinder head then I don't think you're going to be worrying very much about coil bind or valve height,
