Bad build. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

To not install a thermostat shows you don't know what you are doing. Painting gasket surfaces makes no sense, nor does painting it when assembled. I hope no one takes this video seriously.

Sweet as. Those engines will go forever.

That thing won't fit in a HG with that sump on it. That's more like a Commodore. Any ideas how it picks the oil up ??

The old Holden Six , so many sizes only a few CI apart . Starting in sizes 130ci red motor an export only red in the LC Torana mostly to Indonesia and possibly NZ, 138ci red was LC Torana only, 149ci was first red but was really more maroon in colour, 161ci , 173ci 179ci, 186ci and 202 ci. + 2850cc and 3300cc later blue/black. And the famous Star Fire 4 a 2850 with 2 cylinders cut off !

Please don’t tell me you sold the car

Great video! My daily drive is an old Belmont that I've been driving for 35-odd years, but I still know bugger all about cars. Now my kids (15 and 13) are old enough, and are saying that *they* want to get cars like mine when they're older - I figure we can all learn this together, once I find a car or even just an old affordable engine to practice on or rebuild. So when we get there, I'll definitely be referring to this series of vids and the comments :)

Cool if you’re keeping with the originality of the car being, 186 but in my experience after building a black block 3.3 I wouldn’t bother with the old red engines anymore as there crank isn’t fully counter waited pretty shore only the 186s had the steel crank the 3,3 had better rods better head as in its 12 port not 9 and the dizzy is electronic no points and I think the later 3.3 were unleaded or better suited to unleaded petrol there’s so much more you can do with the 3.3 being the better option all goes by how big your wallet is like my old man had a 186s in his eh running stage 4 yellow terra head 192 balance blue printed bottom end straight cut timing gears and genuine Bathurst cam was 35/75 triple Webbers pacemaker exhaust Rod Hatfield Bell housing steel case Toyota five speed box Torana 308 diff centre and modified HR disk front end bigger brakes I’ll never forget the sound of that engine and in the late 90s in Brisbane blowing off a 351 xy falcon at the lights in a white EH panel van was priceless 😂

Do full turns on the socket handle

Permisi om , berapa momen pengencangan baut cylinder head ya? Thanks🙏

Engine looks brilliant... Great job!

You should put the thermostat in otherwise the water flows for the radiator too quick not allowing it time to kool

Great Job on this, it looks factory fresh. Do you still have the commodore sump and pickup? I need one for my project 😅

I watched your video and I think your valve surfaces were a bit too far gone for lapping. One valve I saw was burned. You really need a valve grind and seat resurface before lapping for best results with the head and at least replace piston rings, bearings and rear main seal. I've been in the trade a long time and every time I've seen oven cleaner used it's caused damage to something!

Gotta love the old red motors, and if I may make a comment on something I noticed.. It's good practice to remove the Cylinder head bolts in the opposite order to the tightening sequence, so starting from both ends, and moving inwards would be the reverse order to tightening. This is more critical with a alloy head, especially if you want to avoid resurfacing work. In addition, it's advisable to take only 1/4 of a turn steps initially to more evenly relax the tension on the first go round, after that go for it in the same order.. Hope the rebuild worked out well?

holy cow. those water pumps have been around $30 forever!

I would fit a thermostat regardless of whether the cooling fan is electric or not & I would run a breather type of oil filler cap & Close off the front hole which is next to the oil filler cap with a rubber bung unless a later pollution control type of air filter housing is used where the breather tube is plumbed into it !

This head and the valves are fucked mate! Send it off for machine, crack test, new valve guides and new valves… The block also needs major attention. Acid wash, deck, pistons, bearings and camshaft attention. OTHERWISE YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME…

Did you know you had a burnt valve on the one you lapped in it needs refacing. By the way would be more easy to lap valves in with a hand drill. Oh did you check the guides for any floppy valves ? 😜

Not sure if you used any silastic to assemble the sump gaskets also the front rubber timing cover gasket was not installed properly i could see that it came half of when you fit the sump on.

ooooh flat top pistons, fancy. (not being sarcastic)

Are the 179, 186 and the 202 the same block? If so, is there any room left on the 202 to bore it out more?

We'res the sealer on the head bolts

One question is that a 186s it should tell u one the vin or whatever it’s called it will say 186sand some other numbers afterwords

Great video mate. I am not sure you understand what a thermostat does, you absolutely need one.

We are still waiting for the next update

Good on ya mate good job nice to see the young fellas are interested in these motors I had a 202 6 which I’ve rebuilt a few times and a mate of mine had a 186 and I reckon the 186 was the best motor out of all of the sixes Especially when they’re blue printed they absolutely go like a bat out of hell The trick is once it’s in the car and running and everything is run in you’ve gotta get the carby jetted on a rolling road with the sniffer on the exhaust pipe and they change the emulsion tubes and the primary jet and the main jet until it’s running spot on and when you do that the thing will be unrecognisable……. They are a very happy motor……

Polished cover and water pump set it off I reckon, looks awesome! Can't wait for the next instalments🤘

I am rebuilding a back 202 from a Holden VK commodore from 1984. It was my patrol car at Mt Thomas police station

Don't remove carbon deposits. They help with higher compression

I am rebuilding a 202 black motor from an ex police car I had at Mt Thomas station 30 plus years ago

Brilliant upload. I am thinking about rebuilding a back 202 in an ex patrol car that I had in Mt Thomas

Did you fire the motor up

Hi mate, really enjoying these videos and the input. I'm starting to rebuild a 161 and was wondering if you or anyone could tell me the bolt size and what type(SS) needed for the engine stand. Also for the lift of the engine if different ones needed. I've searched around on Google but I'm seeing different answers and mainly v8's. Hope your house renos are running smoothly. Thank you .

Did you add shims when installing the valve seals

Let's create a WhatsApp group for Holden Belmont 202 engine

How fall have you gone with this project, am counting on you I have the same engine I want to rebuild it on my own so am going through your videos

Cheers mate, I knew nothing about cars but have recently inherited a HR and decided to learn. These videos make me hungry to get stuck into it

Those ration packs in the back might come in handy with this east coast weather 😂

Good stuff man I am building a blue 202 and a red186 and this series has been really helpful and entertaining

Keep the videos coming mate I have a 186 in my garage for my HG wagon project. It has a lot of rust and scale inside the block and head but the motor had good compression before I removed it from the car.

Thanks for sharing your journey mate, I have an old 186 in my Series 3 Land Rover that I am going to pull apart and refurbish. Looking forward to the next vid

It's not the original sump pan. The original didn't have a dip stick. The 186 dip stick was through a tube in the side of the block by no 5 piston.

Good to see keep it up……..

Good job mate Brought back memories Piston crowns will be fine for this application….. Also for carbon removal try 50:50 mix of ATF and Acetone……….. It seems to liquify the build up in seconds….. Good to see….!!!!!! Keep going..!!

Nice work. Love Holden 6s One criticism. The music is sooooooo loud.

What I would do is fully disassemble it and get the top of the block machined and what you have to do if you are planning to do a proper rebuild is Hoan out the boars because they develop a lip at the top of the boar

Yes be very careful with the easy off because it is very corrosive

Good job mate. Just bought a hr with 186 thinking about building a motor. Now following....keep em coming mate!

I worked on a lot of Holden grey and red motors in the late 60's and early 70's. The red motors were quite robust and simply built. That motor of yours will come up well. Strip it down completely, clean it all up, make sure all the oil galleries and water jackets are clear, measure the bores and main and big end journals. They'll be standard for sure seeing you know the history of that motor. You'll most likely get away with just lightly honing the bores (Repco, SuperCheap, etc, sell hones), and a set of new rings and big end bearings, head resurfaced, valve grind, new welch plugs, etc. I assume that as this video was posted in August you have probably by now popped the crankshaft out and mixed up the main bearing shells. If that's the case you will need a new set. Plenty of stuff on RUclips about measuring journals with a micrometer. I would suggest finding a new sump somewhere. Once they have a good "whack" they tend to distort and never seal properly again if they're removed. Love the thongs and socks combination by the way...
