Okachan, reminds me of Mr. Miyagi. An I say that with %100 respect, he is very thorough, knows all the tricks of the trade, and doesn’t mind teaching his skills to someone who actually appreciates them. He also seems like a father figure who will not hesitate to go off on you for not listening or doing something the proper way. Great guy.
I’m so glad you have a teacher like Okachan.. he treats you very well, and I’m glad the S15 will make a quick recovery Sam. Keep it up and keep it pushing man!
The tapping is to make the polish uniform so it doesn't build up in one location too much, as most people are dominant with one hand and put slight pressure on one side.
Sam bro you're blessed being able to be living your dream out there in Japan, under Oka-Chan's mentorship/friendship, pursuing drifting and your lovely wife. Stay grateful and stay focused! We're rooting for you bro!!!
Everything that comes out of Yashio Factory looks awesome and very high quality. Says volumes about Okachan and Yuta and anyone else behind the scenes. High quality materials and workmanship.
@ 18:45 Lol Sam you just got new quote for a shirt, in the back " I don't fully understand it but that what Okachan thought me and that's how I'm going do it" and on front have small anime ver of him giving thumbs up lol
Three things about the manifold, what happens if you don’t brace the box is you put all the load on the solid mount which just transfers the cracks further up the billet, the mount vibration can be cured with simple rubber bungs like they put on wire push through sockets, and that weld was just heated for too long all at once. You gotta tack, cool, pearl and thread. I mean, the size of the beads shouldn’t be bigger than the head of a drawing pin. And the heater line might have been an attempt to make a cold start system... I wouldn’t say “never” but it’s not a beginner job to do. You need the material dexterity of a net maker. Basically, the logic is that the vibration radiates out from the source of greatest inertia, I assume the idea was to share the load across a triangular point of bracing. Aluminium tends to blister if it is exposed to heat too long, and that causes a brittling cool down and that’s where you get the kind of hardening reduction that you showed. Anyways, just being that annoying guy. Sorry.
It's funny remembering the Phong's story, on boostedboiz, about lapping valves. He said that in Japan, his father made him do the valves manually giving various excuses, but now in America he just does it with drill 🤣. It's definitely safer to do it manually, but I've also seen a trick of using a piece of small rubber hose attached to the valve and and the other end attached to drill. This way you're not putting to much pressure on it.
Those Alloy girdles clean up real real nice if you hit them with a heavy duty degreaser. I used to put Kenco HD degreaser in a spray bottle, literally the only staining it wouldn't get out of an SR is the carbon build up on valves, you just gotta make sure not to leave it on too long because once it removes the oil staining it starts messing with the integrity of the alloy
So nice to have someone like Okachan yes, it becomes fun then. It's been frustrating to watch what other RUclipsrs do to there SR's. Great engine with it's own special needs.
Hey Sam you should do a video on tips and tricks and knowledge on the SR platform. Explain the weak points of the SR and how to prevent them. Little trible knowledge you have like you recommended using a RB pump on it and cutting the oil filter pick up for US based motors or the exhaust manifold cracks on every one things like that. There plenty of people out there that are building SRs that don’t know those little things that make a big big difference and have to learn the hard way when there motor fails. I plan on building a similar 500hp SR later down the road but I want to do everything right the first time and cover all the weak points.
This kind of content is so amazing, this is the reason I followed you back then, I wish I could also learn to do what you're doing. Keep it up sam! Stay safe! So envious of what you can do with a great sensei.
Yep, I’ve been doing SR20 engines for quite some time and every time the exhaust valve guides have way too much wear on them even on newer S15 and S14 heads.
In Northern Ireland the valve cream you're using is called valve grinding paste. Loving the channel and all the many types of videos you are posting. Keep it up and good luck to you all
Basically it comes back to the same principle as the valve heads... bearings are just the weakest part of the piston assembly, when you convert torque into rpm and then load rpm, the hardest parts will ultimately win any battle for control of motion... like on Adam’s R34 build, I mean, he is going to hit a glass ceiling at some point as most enthusiasts do and that ironically often causes them to give up...
Im not sure on sr... But on jz if u plug the rear heater line, it will overheat on rear cylinder because lack of coolant flow... Best is to check your coolant flow before fully deleting the heater line
It's a shame about the block deck but great you're in the best hands when it comes to SR's and guidance. What a dream! Looking forward to the 500 hp g25 550 powered SR, Go Sam - yew! 🙌 ✌
I remember what it felt like tearing your car apart needing it. Built my first engine at 19 in the same way. Ended up with a 11 second car in 1 week and that's more than a 19 year old should have in his first car. Had a hell a fun time having that as my daily driver.
I'm come to Japan for 30th birthday just to hang with Okachan.. Cool dude I aspire to be a dad who can build and fix engines as weekend work lol #4yrs2Go
Maybe the heater lines are like a weird trick like, when you push the heater in a factory car when you want to suck the hot air from the engine bay ?...
I really want some pink yashio harnesses but they are fricken expensive Like $500 expensive. Sam, help me out and tell me what I gotta do to get em cheaper. Keep up the good work man
Resleeve the old bock and bore it and do a vet head and just try and make the most power u can out of a sr. And has anyone ever tried to put a pulsar drivetrain on a 180sx that would be pretty sick. Awd S-chassis
The cost would double if not more doing a vet swap. No point for his power goal. Also pulsar drivetrain won't work in a rwd car because it's a east/west facing engine
Valve lapping be soooooo carful Iv done it and Iv seen it people get a little overzealous and end up taking too much material away and I’ll need to get new valve seats
Konichwa , arigato Sam. The R32 GTR looked awesome. Awesome content, Okachan with the apprentice. The SR will rock with you and Okachan! Skybeens 😁 Hag1 Stay Covid free 👊 Jamata ✌️ Hag1 🙏🇦🇺🇯🇵🦊
Very good technical video, I like this contents. Funny detail, so much work done on the floor - I would get punished for doing so with Aircraft parts in my Job ;)

Okachan is the only person in the world that can work in a mechanic shop without getting white pants dirty😂
He got them ceramic coated so it's all good lol
@@oodeadles oh damn i need that too for mines 😂😂
@@matteosimeoni8988 same, ima just spray all my clothes with that never wet stuff lol
@@oodeadles if you’ll fly to italy i can borrow you that stuff i have it for some of my mx gear
@@matteosimeoni8988 what bike u got mate
I’m so glad you have a teacher like Okachan.. he treats you very well, and I’m glad the S15 will make a quick recovery Sam. Keep it up and keep it pushing man!
valve lapping is when you polish them :)
Yep, that's the one...... done it on a few engines in my past...
Valve lapping compound is the abrasive paste typically used in that process!
The tapping is to make the polish uniform so it doesn't build up in one location too much, as most people are dominant with one hand and put slight pressure on one side.
So lucky to have a true legend like Okachan. I still find it odd seeing him without his classic stach tho haha

That’s crazy, the R32 was in there when I visited. That was the start of 2020😅 super entertaining man!❤️
Okachan coming in clutch always helping Sam out. True legend and wanting to see Sam thrive in this industry!
Love how Oka Chan just chilling in white pants around the workshop

That’s awesome props to Oka Chan for the engine parts. Plus it’s called lapping the valves in look forward to more of this content

We all need a guy like Okamura in our lives.

Okachn is such a G. SO much wisdom and just goals.

Best is to check your coolant flow before fully deleting the heater line
Love watching your channel! My wife is Japanese and I had a Skyline when living in Japan for 8 years. Now I drive an STI fully modified.
It's going great! I can't wait. Okachan shows how much of an SR God he is time and time again
That is 100% detonation damage on the sleeve from running lean or detonating.
Exactly what I thought
Its called lapping the valves. curious as to how hard it is to have machine work done in Japan?
One of my most favorite vlogs you've done to date awesome to see the build starting to progress.
Pushing engines with high revs does things to them, just the way it is. Nice to see some Yashio Factory garage stuff 👌
So cool how he takes the time to teach you this stuff. More like a school than anything. Pretty sure this is not as common here in the states.
yesterday he was at 378k subs today he's at 379k
ur growing quick, ALL SPEED AHEAD
Takeout for lunch. A typical meal while working in the shop.
Engine building is absolutely therapeutic.
17:36 the SR god at work
@08:20 Crazy how I was thinking about a certain Mr. Jimmy Oakes and Sami's SR20, aaand awe-and-behold who gets mentioned a minute later 😂
Oka Chan is a legend for being able to wear white pants in a shop without getting them dirty
so lucky for you to have oka-chan as your mentor... and i know that engine build would be more reliable and awesome once it gets done...
It needs that jps14 vvl build 😈😈😈 shout out jimmy oakes!
I know those SR pains, but I do love the engine, so nice to use.
But my next Silvia has an RB25DET in it, this will be my first 6cyl car. I'm excited!
Love this style of video, great people (personalities) and awesome educational content.
So sorry about this one brother 🙏❤🙌😢
Send it Sam! 800-1000hp or bust!
Looks more like detonation to me on the sleeves, but you will probably get a retune with the new engine. Watch out for bad gas man!
It's a shame about the block deck but great you're in the best hands when it comes to SR's and guidance. What a dream! Looking forward to the 500 hp g25 550 powered SR, Go Sam - yew! 🙌 ✌
Really enjoy this new format for videos keep it up g
Thank you sammit....
I learned a lot.
Its Lapping the valves or some just call it grinding the seat. I use valve grinding goo to do my dirtbike ones
How fun that must be to rebuild an SR20 with him!!
Valve lapping and lapping compound is what your were looking for.
This vid is so cool. Awesome you have this life and people like Okachan around to help👊
I remember what it felt like tearing your car apart needing it. Built my first engine at 19 in the same way. Ended up with a 11 second car in 1 week and that's more than a 19 year old should have in his first car. Had a hell a fun time having that as my daily driver.
I'm come to Japan for 30th birthday just to hang with Okachan.. Cool dude I aspire to be a dad who can build and fix engines as weekend work lol #4yrs2Go
Nice to see how to build this engine. Cool intake too, on his car
Sam - would love a little feature on the little hot rod t-bucket looking car in Oka Chan's shop... what's the story with that thing?!
Low kilometers but that engine is taking a beating every time you drift
Okachan is the best teacher he is truly the sr god
Maybe the heater lines are like a weird trick like, when you push the heater in a factory car when you want to suck the hot air from the engine bay ?...
It is called LAPPING THE VALVES love the channel
Lapping valves with the paste!👌🏻
Anyone else see the lzmfg team shirt 😂 knowing that they make his fd kit
They are friends. Have been for years.
@@chadillacinc they met during adams ebisu trip right after his divorce I believe. That's only been 2 years ago maybe
@@Chocolate_dragon even you just said years. Lol
@@chadillacinc got boomed
@Sean Price everything
There are few R34 builds that fully harness the potential of the chassis and make... it’s like a riddle, I suppose...
I really want some pink yashio harnesses but they are fricken expensive
Like $500 expensive. Sam, help me out and tell me what I gotta do to get em cheaper. Keep up the good work man
Valve lapping- valve grinding compound
Nice tip on lapping valves
Sammit I got a question for you, I’m getting a 2008 Honda Civic 4D what should I buy for it to increase the horsepower
3:40 it's called lapping your valves.
Isn't it called seating the valves with the rubbing compound?
The process is called lapping the valves. Gives ya blisters if u got girl hands haha
man, i love this kind of videos
Resleeve the old bock and bore it and do a vet head and just try and make the most power u can out of a sr. And has anyone ever tried to put a pulsar drivetrain on a 180sx that would be pretty sick. Awd S-chassis
The cost would double if not more doing a vet swap. No point for his power goal. Also pulsar drivetrain won't work in a rwd car because it's a east/west facing engine
Valve lapping be soooooo carful Iv done it and Iv seen it people get a little overzealous and end up taking too much material away and I’ll need to get new valve seats
That’s how you know oka chan is a master mechanic.. white trousers and not one stain of oil in sight! 🧑🏻🔧🧑🏻🔧🧑🏻🔧
Wifetcharm merch, when is it coming???? you know we want it!!!
I'm liking sammits new hairstyle :)
The polishing of the valves is called a valve grind
That hypertune manifold reminds me of those otaku manifolds that crack all the time.
Sammit should I get and sr20 or engine swap my s13 240sx since I don't currently have a engine in it I was looking for around 500hp?
Love that Okachan is repping the LZMFG FD shirt 😅
I notice the little Legend racecar in the background. I use to have one of those
@SAMMIT would it be a good idea to find a way of putting a pre lube system on an SR20 DET?
The r33 is jealous seeing the s15 get this treatment😂
Since the block is disassembled, why don't you go 2.2 ???
Grinding Paste is what you use 💯🤙👌☘
It's called lapping the valves sam I think lol 😂😂 good luck with the build
It's called valve lapping! You're checking that the valve fully seats with the valve seat!
Is it an oiling issue? Maybe a higher volume oil pump?
Okachan is the best step dad ever!!!!
The heater hose is a little strange. Maybe they wanted the slight extra capacity. Idk though
Konichwa , arigato Sam. The R32 GTR looked awesome. Awesome content, Okachan with the apprentice. The SR will rock with you and Okachan! Skybeens 😁 Hag1 Stay Covid free 👊 Jamata ✌️ Hag1 🙏🇦🇺🇯🇵🦊
Love the time-lapse music 🎶 👌
@3:32 It sounds like your talking about grinding valves so they can seat properly
Very good technical video, I like this contents. Funny detail, so much work done on the floor - I would get punished for doing so with Aircraft parts in my Job ;)
8:20 That's a name i didn't expect to hear. but I'm glad I did :)
oka chan rockin' the lzmfg crew shirt
tool: *bang* *bang*
subtitles: [Music]
mmmm yes
It really wouldn't be Okumura-san if he didn't casually say "yeah, wastegate line broke and I accidentally overboosted to 30psi." 😂😂😂
Okachan is such a nice person
Love the channel and all of the content! Has anyone ever told you you have an American accent when you say words with Rs?
Lapping the valves there bud
