Priming engine before first start-up and setting ignition timing #34

Having fun with this Performance 454 BBC engine build, and the next step is to get the engine ready for its first start. It's a good practice to prime the engine's oiling system before installing it into the car or starting the engine for the first time. I do this for a couple of reasons... to fill up all the oil passageways and oil filter so that you aren't starting it up with no oil, also to ...

This is the 1st time I have ran into this issue. Distributor is not sitting on pad and I need to shim it up .060". I will definitely use this video again for the information you have here. Thanks!!
Thanks for the nice comment....
great video, yeah i have a hard time not making a trench in the corners
Thansk @vrm86ct for the nice comment.... I like your GT mustang you have on your channel.... nice!
Back in the 90's I had some serious oxidation issues using stainless bolts with an aluminum intake manifold. The bolts deteriorated the intake to the point that it was almost unusable as the bolt holes were deformed due to oxidation. I don't know if it was a metallurgical issue or not but I also encountered the same problem with stainless bolts and an aluminum boat transom repair using never seize that time. The bolts still bnded to the aluminum and had serious white oxidization at every fastener point. I have not used stainless bolts in an aluminum application since and i would be very apprehensive about putting them into an aluminum head. Just my experience. Have you encountered similar?
Hi Dave... I haven't had any trouble with the stainless steel and aluminum,but also have not been in a moist environment as a boat... dissimilar metal's do have electrolysis if in water that has minerals in it like salt..
I made a "flapper rod" for my die grinder about 25 years ago, I used a 3/4" bolt shoulder. I turned it down on one end to 1/4" so that it would chuck up. I cut a slot in the big end for emory cloth. I can wrap emory cloth and achieve whatever desired thickness over3/4" and tear off the outer layer as I go. Thanks for yet another video.
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. It was very interesting as well as satisfying to see your technique as well as gain from your knowledge. That WD-40 advice is awesome. It is not fun when oyur die grinder gets stopped up with aluminum.
Thank you!
Excellent video. Thank you for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
Man I learned something on this one.......
Thanks scuba Steve...
That collet you had clamped up was pretty slick, I’ve never seen that before!
Ah the early 90's, a great time to be a gearhead. I bought my first car, a low option '69 Nova(307/th350), for $600 in 1992 and built a 327 with junkyard L98 aluminum heads for it in my HS auto shop. It was almost always on M&H cheater slicks and embarrassed a lot of people at the local street spot. I also had the David Vizard SBC head book from that time and the Car Craft issue with the flowbench plans in it. After HS I found an old Kwickway seat and guide machine from a shop that was closing down. I used it to rebuild a lot of fuelie and other heads for friends to help finance my hobby. Never did get around to building the flowbench but one of my HS autoshop teachers did.
Thats Cool.... Fun to hear about other people doing about the same thing..... As you said..... Great times....
everything you did here is wrong. You need too line bore the main caps to size them properly. This is just not how it is done.
Who decides how things are done my friend? The line hone job went perfect... There's more than one way to do things and get the same results...
What size chamber on your heads. You've got plenty of room, maybe take a little off
Hi Terry.... Chamber are 112cc and compression is 10.15 to 1. Going to drive it on the street and want to keep it pump gas friendly...
@@Myersmetalworks very nice. I just got to the party late. 454, overbore.? Looks like a fairly nice dome. Also you said solid roller, nice choice. I'm gonna go back and check the previous videos. Should be a real nice piece for the street. From off the grid in Az.
Hi Terry.... Its a .030 over bore... Piston dome is around 21cc... Its cool your off the grid in Az... nice!
@@Myersmetalworks good morning. So that would be 468 ci.
I think 460....
All Iheard was that slick synthesizer music.
Thanks for your input....
Great job!!
Thank you!
Has it lasted or failed?
The engine is not being used... Only a hour or two run time on this system...
Clear the cover because it will oxidize in no time if you don’t.
Thanks for the tip Mr572u.... and your Sub.... Thanks again!
Nice Job,thanks for the 411 as I'm getting ready to do the same, this video was helpful. PEACE
Thanks for your veiw and good luck with your project!!
Watch your pushrod to pushrod guide clearance. I broke two using scorpion 1.8 rockers.
Thanks for the Tip and your veiw....
Over performers. Now make a video for rednecks like me with minimum tools !!!
Lol.... Over performer.... Just trying to do the best I can with what I have to do it with.... A side grinder would do the job and it would work fine... Thanks for your veiw.
This was some good information definitely going to have to try it
Cool.... It works and thanks for the veiw....
chrome covers...smh not the way to go with a daily driver...don't matter what manufacturer it came from. IT'S going LEAK oil...
back sound is irritating...smh
Just a respectful question, but why use a button when your block will accept a cam retention plate? If you mentioned that i missed it and sorry in advance.
We ordered parts for the year engine it was, and these are the parts that came and used.... On older blocks (I think) the plate was for revers rotation engines...
Wow I thought you did a real well explained and planned port matching, great job.. For sure the water jackets could be closure than you think in that aftermarket intake walls, less is best when porting.
Thanks for watching!
Something tells me you've assembled a computer motherboard from pieces you bought at Radio Shack. Pretty much just means you know what you're doing.
Thanks for the nice comment.... Lol
I wonder how much tongue weight trailer can take
Good Day.... We use it alot for light loads because to much of a load the zero turn will pop wheelies.... Not good but fun!! We use common sense and it works out fine for us.
Thank you very much for sharing your video!! I watched it carefully because I have the same problem with the same thread on the carburetor pump discharge nozzle, but I can't find that specific-sized helicoil on eBay or anywhere else, and I still don't know what size it is... Everyone seems to have the repair kits for carburetor bowl screws for sale, but I can't find this specific repair. Could you please tell me where you bought it? I would really appreciate it!! Greetings!!, Andy
HI Andy.... I think it was ebay.... I just typed in (Recoil Thread Repair Kit 12-28) and one came up in ebay.... Try going to ebay and type in what I did and see if it will come up for you! Thanks for watching the videos and hope this helps.....
Did you have to use different length push rods with aluminum heads? Thinking about swapping my 215 oval ports on my 396 to afr 265 heads.
Im not sure.... Call AFR and see what they think? I do have a video on how to check your pushrod length.... Hope you have great luck with your new 265 heads....
Thanks for the video. Great explanations throughout. Where would I get valve test springs like you use in the video?
Thanks for the nice comment.... I got them from ACE hardware store...
@@Myersmetalworks You bet and thanks for responding. I’m also definitely using your homemade adjustable pushrod tool idea!
Lol.... Cool
Thank you for this, guess Ill need to make a spacer for my crank pulley as its the one in too far in, which puzzles me as they are the same pulleys going on a new engine block of the same size??
Thanks for the nice comment.... That is puzzling?
What oil pump? Part number?
Milling select 10778
It's so nice I almost hate you.
Looks like you do some nice work your self....
@@Myersmetalworks thank you.
Great video! I have a question regarding the timing chain cover installation. My motor is already installed in my Chevelle, and I’m hoping I can change the cover without having to drop the pan. I have a big block 496. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Thanks for the nice comment on the video... I have seen timing covers taken off and installed back without removing the oil pan, so it can be done.... They lossen the front and side bolts and pry down the pan... But I myself have not done it... Good luck on your install....
I bought a 1971 Corvette years ago and I'm sorry I let it go. It was Ontario Orange in real nice condition with a Saddle interior. 350/4 speed. Luggage rack and all numbers matching. I bought it at the Pomona, Ca. swap meet. Later on, I bought a '93 C4 that was my dream car. Of all the cars I owned, that '93 was the best. I commend you on your workmanship and it looks like you got a beauty. It's a big deal when the engine runs well. I would love to buy another C3 but the prices now are out of my reach so I enjoyed your video and I like your Vette.
Thanks for the nice comment, and sounds like you had a nice par of vetts too...
Great video 📹 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video I need to do this to my car. I will order one of those clocks. I like that you showed how you did it.
Glad it was helpful!
That is the only way to do it right, because very seldom does everything line up right ,, we have. Found heads that the chambers are off end to end, blocks that have shifted in the core etc. Accumulated tolerances from side to side, it is foolish to assume every thing is right, you have to make it right !
Thanks for the nice comment...
Awesome video , I’m doing mine now ,, great instructional video, I think I’ve memorized it by now , lol , can’t wait to see and feel the results,,,,
Thanks for the nice comment...

Did you ever dyno this combo I would be interested to see what power it made?
I have not dyno it yet, but would like to some time....
loved this video but why cant I find Part #2?
In the 454 engine build playlist it should be videos #20 #22 #23 on port matching the intake...
This video was really helpful. I bought a similar whistle at an antiques store and this really helped me figure it out.
what size is the venturi in that carburetor
I have a brass steam whistle of my own that actually works, ive never heard the sweet sound of it though, because i don't have anything to blow it with, my air compressor is to big for it, the slot is a quarter of an inch female nosel which needs a male bolt with threads so i can attach it, do you have any idea where i could get one?
The hardware stores is all I could suggest.... or maybe McMaster carr...... on the internet....
Will this work with tbi?
What water pump did you use ? I need a short pump that fits the same front cover.
Watch #24 water pump install... Playlist 454 engine build..
Somehow I missed the Cam Button Part # and manufacturer?? The Cloyes cover doesn't come with that.
Cloyes cover came with button....
What kind of lift hooks/studs did you use to lift it up so that it’s easily placed in the bags.
Also is that a LS block and what’s the thread size?
I think I welded some washers to the top of some bolts I had...
Late 2 the video, but i wouldn't touch them ports. Leave em alone! Not worth the time. For the gain you might, or might not get. And if you ever sell them heads nobody wants tampered heads
Thanks for the info....
