This guy kids around and talks some crap sometimes in humor but listening to him I can tell he knows old school engine building techniques. Thumbs up. Great channel. Very ennertainin
I’m glad you liked it. I used to be quality control engineer at an engineering manufacturing facility when I was finishing up engineering school. The best wisdom that any of the senior engineers imparted on me was when a fella said. “These are engines, not Swiss watches.” Nothing wrong with spending tons of time and cash to make sure one is built perfectly, but it’s not always time and money well spent. You can cut some corners and do sloppy work on your own junk, and still get a lot of power and life out of an engine. A lot of people refuse to accept that reality. I used to be one of those people 😂
I rebuilt a slant 6 that had trashed all bearings. Trashed cylinders with massive ridges. I threw new rod bearings in it no mains and put new rings in it. Spec is like 10 to 20 thou and i was reading 35 plus. Fookin thing runs like sewing machine with copper on the mains and those massive gaps. Man what a loyal hunk of shit. Full sends only baby.
Burt, I feel for you on this one. This right here is why almost nobody learns to work on cars/trucks. You really have to like it to be willing to go through this level of torture lol.
I have used exactly this method to repair engines so many times. You usually don’t get away with it unless you have good sense, and a good feel from lots of wrenching. But if you do have those it can save a lot of time and money.
You deserve more followers, this is an awesome channel. I work in an engine machine shop and I’m only mildly disturbed by the choice to just send the crankshaft. Edit: I watched more, good choice going to the machine shop, also it only hurt a bit hearing the comments about it costing $2000 and taking two months… but I can’t fault you on that comment
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully thy subscriber count will keep on ticking up. And hopefully my machine shop can get the crank and rods in order for the under $1k 👍. But they have had them for 2 months at this point…
I learned this lesson the hard way as well along time ago, and learned cheap can be very expensive. If I see anything that makes me question now, i just take to get machined. If you are already that far in, just do it right. That is the true cheap way.
Great video. Nothing here I would ever attempt, but I love it. F-ing audacious. See, I really don';t know nuthin' - I thought you were going to pull those pistons to get the rod size bearings in. Oh shit, and then ... build back better. Time to blaspheme.
"Two months and a thousand dollars later" Yeah I know that feeling. I had a single rusty bore on a 6.9 IDI I've been building. Got a quote from the only reputable-ish shop within a few hundred miles for a single sleeve, $1,200. I asked about full sending it with all eight sleeves. $1,800. I said screw it, dingleball honed the bores and sent it. With the shortblock fully assembled I decided to inspect the heads for the first time. Not good. Exhaust valves were all trash. Before buying valves and hand-lapping them in, I called another place that only does head work, about a valve job. Guy knew his stuff about IDIs, said the exhaust valves would all be scrap before I had a chance to say so. We talked for a bit, then I asked about cost and lead time. "Oh.... at least $1,000. And we couldn't get started any sooner than three and a half weeks." So I have some Stellite valves on order, and I'm hand lapping them. Happy day. Gonna boost 'er to the moon and see where the limit is, then back off a few pounds and do it again.
I'm kinda pleased you're taking it to a machine shop... I'm eager to learn about that process. What do you do, just hand the parts to the shop and they know what to do, or will you specify anything?
If you don’t tell them exactly what you want done, they’ll generally do everything. Because that makes them the most money. I told them I only wanted the crank ground and the big end of the rods resized. If I hadn’t specified, they probably would have put new bushings in the small end also, and that would have cost me a couple hundred extra bucks. If you take the them a block and don’t specify, they bore it, honestly it, deck it, align hone the main caps, etc… And you might not of needed all of that.
@@freedomworx Good to know! I pulled a 12 valve out of a field a few months back.. runs great now, but I haven't torn into the motor at all. Like you said, I could stay happy and not open it up even if it needs it, but my toxic trait is not leaving things well enough alone...
How about from jump on the rod bearings swapping the bearing sets to see if the results change.. I can't stop watching this is so funny. This is the best ever. But the half assory tells the end result,. I would a hit it with 400 and send it.😂. We all know all one has to do is put Lucas in it and change the oil as needed. Lucas is the key.
I tried swapping bearings. The rods are just really out of round. It actually scored a couple bearings from me rotating it during assembly. Maybe somebody already hit it with a 400 shot 🥴. So I just bought a whole new hot rod 😂
I feel for you on breaking a piston ring. I broke the secondary ring on a 454 I put together that sucked. And of course it was putting it on also. And lastly note to self aluminum shavings are very sharp.
I watched several of your videos and have subscribed. This is not intended to be an insult but just an observation. You seem very educated, but for some reason after watching this video something is overriding that and no it is not because we are all human.

@freedomworx I have a 3 Liter and 15 Liter Vevor Ultrasonic Cleaner both have been great. If you buy one buy at least a 6 Liter. Fill it with hot water then put your piston in a 1 gallon freezer bag and pour the Gunk parts cleaner in the bag. Put the bag in the water and when clean pour back in the can. Most carburetors can be cleaned like new in 30 minutes to 1 hour.
As I replaced the head gaskets on my LB7 duramax. You should have seen the rtv on the lifters a springs from whoever put the valve covers on before me owning the truck. An what a pain to clean it off. 😂

I totally would have swapped You're loose cylinder rod bearing with your tightest and remeasured. What happens if you put the old bearings in a measure?
@heathmurphy3735 had no idea . A shade tree mechanic is typically one who is not good enough to do it professionally, but good enough he can do it as side work, if it's not right he'll force it to work with some Jerry Rigging. Is this what Leyland is similar to?
No way you're Burnt Chrysler because I've met him and he is wayyyyy fatter! I love the piston ring gap dilemma. Some people have to have them in just the right location or the engine will for sure blow up. I'm more of a just don't line them up and stab the piston in type. Many experienced guys have argued about ring spin but every engine I've popped pistons out of the ring gaps are in random locations so they 100% move. Also the bearing quote "they're darker so they'll run faster" got me!!!
Yeah, they move a lot more than people thing. There isn't a good way to predict what they will do, and it's based on many factors. But a study I read, that used radioactive tracers on rings to measure their rotation while the engine was in service, is that 3 revolutions around the piston per minute, is a good average. Of course, the darker the ring, the faster they rotate...
Since you said you have mics and bore gauges, why not measure the crank and rods on the ones giving you trouble to actually see where the trouble lies?
Doesn’t really matter where the trouble lies. Multiple rods or crank journals are not happy. So I figured I’d give them all the treatment. It’ll take 2 months whether they size 2 rods or 6 rods 😉
Now this is just me- I would have knocked out the 3 tight ones and take some strips of 220 carburundum or (wet/dry) grit paper and sand down the 3 journals then finish them with strips of 600. That would take off 1-2 k. But, that is just me.
That wouldn’t have helped the one rod that had 0.006” or more of clearance. The rods needed to be resized. The crank could have been run. But if the rods are going to the machine shop, the crank might as well go too. But that’s just me 😉
I got too emotionally involved in this build and became instantly depressed when you said you'd have to take it all apart. I'm going to go out to the shop and do something simple like change the oil in all of my tractors as therapy. BTW, was that 49 days or 4.9 days? I might or might not have you beat.
Looks the same actually. Because it would be easier and cheaper to buy a totally different P-Pump engine, than to source everything to convert the engine you have to a P-Pump engine. 😉
Disclaimer... I have only talked to professional engine builders about this. Plastigauge is not ideal, but if you're going to use it, use a new set of bearings afterwards. Once the bearing is crushed in, taking it off and reinstalling it increases the risk of spinning a bearing.
Using a new bearing after using plastigage totally defeats the purpose of using plastigage, or measuring the oil clearance by any means for that matter. The purpose of measuring the oil clearance is to account for manufacturing tolerances in the bearings. And plenty of professional device builders will reuse a bearing. There is no reason to replace a perfectly good bearing. The crush doesn’t change after subsequent installations. And any “engine builder” telling you that, shouldn’t be your engine builder.
I think the rings called for a 280. But I already had a 240, and they didn't make a 280. 240 and 320 were the options. So I did the calculus and figured since they were both equally wrong, I'd just use what I already had 😉
I pulled the head on mine and did the ole looks good from my house and threw a head gasket and some pdd head bolts and been rocking her hard for almost 4 years now
@@freedomworxcan’t wait to see what the machine shop comes back with on that crank.

Yes, to be accurate. That is the question. The machine shop has had the crank and rods for 7 months. So I had to buy another crank, with a hot rod wrapped around it 😂ruclips.net/user/shortskq8ggq5uBxY?si=dlZGkXiki5CCIPIR
@@freedomworxYeah 5k is a waste because that 15k motor sells for 3k after 2 hours of run time 😂. Well maybe not that much but it seems like that sometimes.
Everybody wants a perfect engine until they realize how much it costs to make one perfect. Then after they rape on a shitbox engine they won’t die, they no longer care about perfect. Perfect is expensive 🥴
The first time I heard a guy say he financed an engine for a Rock Bouncer, I was blown away. Like who does that? Well…America! Lots of people apparently 😂
23:08 they have started making dimpled pistons for diesels.. not sure if that’s what your intent is, but supposed to be great for emissions! 33:20 they darker, so they obviously run faster. FKN caught me Dead!! 35:41 SNAFU? Situation Normal. All fkd Up!
I am familiar with the SOA dimpled pistons. But if you ever price a set, you’ll understand why nobody uses them 🥴. The dark ones are definitely faster 😂
@@freedomworx eh, Someone else decided I didn’t need my Cummins anymore.. so I haven’t priced anything for a diesel.. unfortunately.. And you know insurance is so great I got a new truck right away!! So.. but, build back better that engine, it will be as good as inflation. 20% less then when new! 🤣🤣
@@freedomworx 500x6=(checks fingers) only 3k for a Cummins! You’ve already broke one oil ring, might as well. 🤣🤣. But I mean, you do have a hammer.. you know, science.. That’s a ‘spensive piston.

No way you're Burnt Chrysler because I've met him and he is wayyyyy fatter!
I love the piston ring gap dilemma. Some people have to have them in just the right location or the engine will for sure blow up. I'm more of a just don't line them up and stab the piston in type. Many experienced guys have argued about ring spin but every engine I've popped pistons out of the ring gaps are in random locations so they 100% move.
Also the bearing quote "they're darker so they'll run faster" got me!!!
Yeah, they move a lot more than people thing. There isn't a good way to predict what they will do, and it's based on many factors. But a study I read, that used radioactive tracers on rings to measure their rotation while the engine was in service, is that 3 revolutions around the piston per minute, is a good average. Of course, the darker the ring, the faster they rotate...
Are you and VGG kin-ish? Love the channel, specially Black Bear Pass in 2wd 90% of time.

Crankshaft speeding sleeve uses lock tight for sealing more then anything, considering this causes me to use what instructions say
My instructions did not call for any sealant. Maybe your application does 🤷🏻♂️
This is what all gear heads need
They need me shirtless? 😉
Since you said you have mics and bore gauges, why not measure the crank and rods on the ones giving you trouble to actually see where the trouble lies?
Doesn’t really matter where the trouble lies. Multiple rods or crank journals are not happy. So I figured I’d give them all the treatment. It’ll take 2 months whether they size 2 rods or 6 rods 😉
Now this is just me- I would have knocked out the 3 tight ones and take some strips of 220 carburundum or (wet/dry) grit paper and sand down the 3 journals then finish them with strips of 600. That would take off 1-2 k. But, that is just me.
That wouldn’t have helped the one rod that had 0.006” or more of clearance. The rods needed to be resized. The crank could have been run. But if the rods are going to the machine shop, the crank might as well go too. But that’s just me 😉
I got too emotionally involved in this build and became instantly depressed when you said you'd have to take it all apart. I'm going to go out to the shop and do something simple like change the oil in all of my tractors as therapy. BTW, was that 49 days or 4.9 days? I might or might not have you beat.
49!!! Up to 56 now 😂
@@freedomworx Look at you go! Especially after all that bacon.
How does the budget look when you get the 12v free from a barely used military genset from 1987?😅
Looks the same actually. Because it would be easier and cheaper to buy a totally different P-Pump engine, than to source everything to convert the engine you have to a P-Pump engine. 😉
Disclaimer... I have only talked to professional engine builders about this. Plastigauge is not ideal, but if you're going to use it, use a new set of bearings afterwards. Once the bearing is crushed in, taking it off and reinstalling it increases the risk of spinning a bearing.
Using a new bearing after using plastigage totally defeats the purpose of using plastigage, or measuring the oil clearance by any means for that matter. The purpose of measuring the oil clearance is to account for manufacturing tolerances in the bearings. And plenty of professional device builders will reuse a bearing. There is no reason to replace a perfectly good bearing. The crush doesn’t change after subsequent installations. And any “engine builder” telling you that, shouldn’t be your engine builder.

Thanks for the support 👍
Why not 320 ball hone 🤔
I think the rings called for a 280. But I already had a 240, and they didn't make a 280. 240 and 320 were the options. So I did the calculus and figured since they were both equally wrong, I'd just use what I already had 😉
11:07 is that 4.9 days or 49 days? Either way, nice job... congrats!
49…it has since been reset 🥴
@@freedomworx $hit happens
I pulled the head on mine and did the ole looks good from my house and threw a head gasket and some pdd head bolts and been rocking her hard for almost 4 years now
That’s what I had hoped for 😂
@@freedomworxcan’t wait to see what the machine shop comes back with on that crank. Good video man I really like how you explain things even though I understand all this stuff already I was not bored watching you explain it. The new he351 from power driven diesel turbo I threw on the fummins last week really was a huge game changer for towing.

@mikedeyoung7219 working on it 👍
The question is not " will it make 700 HP and the block didn't go to the machine shop" because it will, the question really is "how long will it make 700 HP and the block didn't go to the machine shop" ! 😮
Yes, to be accurate. That is the question. The machine shop has had the crank and rods for 7 months. So I had to buy another crank, with a hot rod wrapped around it 😂ruclips.net/user/shortskq8ggq5uBxY?si=dlZGkXiki5CCIPIR
looks like one or 2 pistons are bigger😂6,7 piston?
Never measured them…so who knows 😉
It was just the camera angle😁👍🏻🏁
17:18 and that damn 10mm socket always damn missing
Can't trust those Communist System Sockets!
Just one question? Why spend $10k on a motor and not have it machined and the crank done and balanced? Plus new pistons and rods?
Because it’s a waste of money. Why spend money that you don’t need to spend? You just added $5,000 for no performance gain 🤷🏻♂️
@@freedomworxYeah 5k is a waste because that 15k motor sells for 3k after 2 hours of run time 😂.
Well maybe not that much but it seems like that sometimes.
Everybody wants a perfect engine until they realize how much it costs to make one perfect. Then after they rape on a shitbox engine they won’t die, they no longer care about perfect. Perfect is expensive 🥴
@ Yep. Watched guys go in debt for an engine that sits around until they have to sell it.
The first time I heard a guy say he financed an engine for a Rock Bouncer, I was blown away. Like who does that? Well…America! Lots of people apparently 😂
I don't see why they wouldn't make undersized bearings too... It would be an easy fix here..
That’s exactly what these bearings are. But the rods are obviously deformed, so smaller bearings won’t fix that.
23:08 they have started making dimpled pistons for diesels.. not sure if that’s what your intent is, but supposed to be great for emissions!
33:20 they darker, so they obviously run faster. FKN caught me Dead!!
35:41 SNAFU? Situation Normal. All fkd Up!
I am familiar with the SOA dimpled pistons. But if you ever price a set, you’ll understand why nobody uses them 🥴. The dark ones are definitely faster 😂
@@freedomworx eh, Someone else decided I didn’t need my Cummins anymore.. so I haven’t priced anything for a diesel.. unfortunately..
And you know insurance is so great I got a new truck right away!! So..
but, build back better that engine, it will be as good as inflation. 20% less then when new! 🤣🤣
20% is pretty conservative 😂. BTW, those dimpled pistons are over $500…each.
@@freedomworx 500x6=(checks fingers) only 3k for a Cummins! You’ve already broke one oil ring, might as well. 🤣🤣.
But I mean, you do have a hammer.. you know, science..
That’s a ‘spensive piston. Technology seems pretty cool if they do what the manufacturers say they do.
Looking Forward to the next build video!
Bruh "they darker so they run faster" im dead. lol
It’s science…probably 😉
@@freedomworx you have a very if Bert and vice grip had a baby vibe, keep it up man.
You do realize that you can stack your feeler gauges to get a higher number.. right
Yes, I know that. I just don’t want to stack them. I want one feeler gauge the correct size if I have it available to me.
