How To Verify Top Dead Center On An Assembled Engine (SBC)
Просмотров 20 тыс.Год назад
At 1:24 in the video, I meant to say bottom dead center. The piston needs to be down in the cylinder away from TDC so you won't be screwing the piston stop directly into the piston. Firing on #4 puts the #1 piston at the bottom on a SBC.

    Just wondering if that is an 8 inch or 6.75 inch balancer. I just did mine today with all new Chrome and Howards roller cam using a aftermarket 6.75 inch balancer from Summit. My marks were 6 7/8 apart divided by 2 is about 3.50 for center. I came in on my desk top computer to double check as they are further apart and wondering why. It is a 1976 Corvette.

    • @briansummers8030
      @briansummers8030 9 месяцев назад

      My balancer is 6.75 inch. The distance between the marks depends on how far the piston stop goes into the cylinder. It really doesn't have anything to do with the size of the balancer. Just turn it both ways until it stops and measure between the marks and divide by 2 and that would be true top dead center. Thanks For Watching !

If the 292 seems to big, you might want to try one of the smaller mega cams or a 270 or 280 comp magnum. My Dad's car has the 270 comp magnum and it sounds and runs pretty good !

    You lose so much of that chop in the grass. Do it on asphalt. It'll sound twice as good.

    Sounds great, neighbor had a 66 Chevelle 300post Marina Blue car,(org 194ci 3sp) his oldman bought the car new, sometime around 82/83 the oldman found a year matching 350hp 327, Jason inherited the car in 85 , had few different cams in that ole 327 , the old 30-30 cam sounded great, had this wild crane cam( 290-300ish duration @ .50) sounded like a pro stocker, every cam change, every head change, rear gear change, Jason would come knocking on my door, " Hey $100 says I can get around that Hemi of yours(no offense , he never got around me, legit low 10 high 9 street car), late 89 I was finishing up a D5 headed 482ci hemi for the ole Savoy , we went cruising Lansdale in his 66, some drunk chick in a 86 Mustang GT lost it making a right on red, (go figure, an Out of control Mustang) she fishtailed in to us as he was making a left, tore up that poor car up bent frame , knocked out the 30+ years of bondo that had been gathering in that Driverside 1/4 (eastern Pa road salt) back window shattered, truck lid buckled up at the hinge , it was a hard hit, my head bounced off p-side door glass . .My old man and I kept the 66 in the back of the pole barn while Jason gathered parts to fix it, .. his life happened, joined the army ,two great daughters and a in and out of rehab wife, we lost Jason in Iraq back in 03 , I reframed the 66 in 05 , new 1/4s, trunk floor, kept as much of the ORG roof and sail panel as I could....he also wanted to repaint the car Cameo Beige..so now the 20 year clean and sober widow runs it once a month to a few local cruise nights , hits Maple Grove every Chevy Sunday, and the Chevelle sits victorious in the garage next to her wrecked 86 GT mustang.

    Love this ride. My very first car was similar in appearance. It was a 1966 Chevelle SS-396 4 speed stick, 12 bolt rear 373 posi. I put Cragar rims on it. I bought it in 1975 for $650.00 it was dead stock and had 74,000 miles. Ran great and wish I still had it. Thanks for sharing your fantastic looking and sounding Chevelle.

      I bought mine in 1982 for $800 with the 327, muncie 4 speed, and 12 bolt with 4.11 posi. I have heard so many of the "wish I still had it" stories, which has led me to making sure that mine stays with me till death. Thank you for sharing your story, and Thanks For Watching !

      Yes sir I can recall when the first gas ⛽️ crunch led to many 65-71 flooding the used car market for $500-$600 Mustangs, Camaros , Road Runners . I bought a '71 Road Runner for $200 , replaced all the brakes and drop in a 70 440 . Yep it t😢me 6 hours to get a citation. lol $20 fine . It was worth it . Great Times. 😊
