Got the volume cranked to 11, can't hear what you're saying!!

Used one of these for quite a few years in busy remanufacturing shops. Probably done 2000 blocks on one of these models. Well built and reliable machines.👍

I had some 781s heads once I wish I kept them, now I use Merlin. thanks for sharing your wisdom!!

With experience, you do what works for you. You will end up usually with the same result. Friend ordered set of aluminum heads for a flat tapet cam. Wiped out a # of lobes. Had me check them, one head was set up for a roller cam. Same part# for both heads.

Had a lower boot made for my Berco 950, 200.00$.

Those are nice heads, 049 too

What brand are those expandable pilots ?

Great informative video... thanks!

Yes i hear that the people over in China basically have a lot of cancer basically industrial villages

Yeah you're right and luckily I found a few on eBay that were New Old Stock from k line I tried to purchase some recently in they miserable I won't mention the supplier sent them back

Awesome job brother. I do the same thing, .502 through the stock guide. I have the tooling for 3/8 liners...but honestly it's faster to core drill them and put a full guide in. did I mention I hate doing BBC heads lol. have a good one man!

That is interesting about what it costs to buy new tools vs having new ones resharpened. Where do the new ones come from? I hate made in China, and in some situations I'll pay extra just to get something rebuilt, rather than buy new from the CCP reds and their cancer villages. Here is one such situation where I do that. On many cars, the price between new brake rotors is not significantly more than buying new mid grade Chinese rotors. Sometimes it costs even less. On many American and Japanese cars, good luck getting brake discs that aren't made in China. However, if my brake rotors have enough material and I have enough time, I'll pay to have them resurfaced anyway. I just hate the CCP and their ways that much. About 3 years ago, I did such a DIY brake job to my mother's 2011 Honda CRV. My mother does not need to know this motivation or the cost, as she does not react nicely to it. Well, she got that auto parts at cost and I didn't ask for anything in labor as a favor, so she can't say too many bad things. At least it isn't hard to buy brake pads not made in China. This is also why I'd rather rebuild these cylinder heads, rather than buy a new Chinesium iron casting. I hate buying new stuff from GM and Chrysler and Fiat, but I hate buying new pieces of Chinesium even more. Sometimes even when you do your best, a valve job will end too deep anyway. I sometimes encounter people with very old heads pressing in both new hard exhaust seats and new hard intake seats. I often call those situations "A rebuild of a rebuild of a rebuild" to explain it to car guys and non car guys. To cars guys, I sometimes call it "A CV axle from the 1980s." When some heads take a lot to rebuild, I like when people find a better core for rebuilding. They avoid new pieces of Chinesium, and they avoid the added cost of more involved rebuilds. I think I could understand why those 781 heads are different. Sometimes even OEM auto parts are revised when they are sold as replacements. I have encountered replacement parts from dealerships. Sometimes they are built differently if the car shipped with a flawed part design. It is why when you buy a car, it is best not to buy one the year it arrives.

Standard iron or hardened guides?

When you do hardened EX seats on cast iron GM heads what is the MAX OD insert you do? Have you hit water jacket when cutting the counter bore? Nice vids I appreciate them.

Nice job, i have not seen adding weight to crank like that, but the end product looks good, thanks for showing.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Pat 😊

Long sleeves don't belong in a machine shop

Do you recall what your piston ring gaps were for the first and second piston rings

i will party with you..sounds bad ass!

another fine job pat! you make it look to easy!

Have you ever drilled a BBC (6223) crank for a larger snout bolt? Ford BBF size.

The first race engine I build, I used P bearings, it was a 305 chevy camaro SCCA Americain sedan class, It lost oil pressure the driver pulled it off track and saved the engine, the babbit failed, migrated and sperated from the copper, thats when I discovered racing bearings.

If the customer want's to be fancy timing cover take's pan head screw's, oil pan clutch head.I spent my youth under a 57.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill pat

Just an idea that maybe would work if you could get the right Size would be a speedy sleeve.

A 283 and you're wearing a Ford shirt😅

I did not see if you put spacer behind harmonic balancer that compensate's for the motor mount thickness.

🙋‍♂️

That is really nice job, quality machine work and attention to details is what makes all the difference in the world.

If you own the equipment, I always said you better be able to fix it. There's no one to call.

Great information Pat for us guys that have the same machine 👍👍

That is going to be a nice engine for that Vette.

Nice work pat

Thanks for showing us that mate 👍

Those haters are experts. A Ex is a has been. A spurt is a drip. Has been drips. Seen it over the 40 years doing this. You never stop learning. If you do it's time to quit.

I tried to avoid makers and did not get in to splitting bearing for size next few videos I may get in to that subject trying to make videos of interest .thank for watching

Good stuff! Just went through bearing fitup on my Son's 377 and we used Clevite 77 mains with a king spacer. The spacers measured good but the bearings had a lot of variance. Had to order some -.001 bearings and mix them in to get it right. We used Daido rod bearings and they were right on! Quality looked far better on the Daido bearing. Next build will get all Daido.

Whats the benefit of knurling pistons ? Whats the pro and contras?

Very cool making that rope fitter tool!

Nice job, looking forward of the engine assembly.

Nice work pat you are the best

Some people have told me that i am a cleaning freak, but i like to have parts clean before installing them and i don`t believe when somebody says that it is clean, just throw it in. I like 283:s, they are nice little engines, thaks for showing this.

I hear the 85b talking in the background. The devil is in the details.

Just went through pushrod selection on my Son's 377 build. We used the 90° at midlift method. Double checked shorter and longer and confirmed that method gave us the most lift-the most verticle movement of the rocker tip. Ended up needing 8.3" pushrods for our rockers with +.100 length valves. Pat if you have a better method or theory I'd like to hear it. You do good work!

I’m building 1 gathering parts bought ready to start putting it together like your videos👍

Thank you for sharing pat

Looks awesome..you do great work..I bet ur customer is excited..

Hi, do you offer this kind of knurling service or you do it only for you ? thanks.

oh no..shit dont fit right..thats the world we live in now..good job tho on comming up with a solution!

lol...I had a '68 chevy impala custom coupe that my brother built the engine in.... He put a 3/4 cam in it
