![Tee Grizzley - Blow for Blow (feat. J. Cole) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wNLN5xsx5dc/mqdefault.jpg)
It took me most of the day to watch this video today. My dog Beans died this morning. So it's been hard to get back in the groove. Everyone with pets go and give them some extra hugs and treats today, that would be awesome as a remembrance for my Beans.
Sorry to hear that , it's hard when they pass but he's in doggy heaven with lots of bones.
just sending you some love and a like. I'm sorry for your loss. My "Beanie" went back in 2014, but there's not a day I don't think about him.
@@uhhlexxxis thank you so much, I am so sorry your Beanie went to heaven as well.
Sorry for your loss. Some advice from a friend helped me when my cat of 22 years passed. While it won't fill the gap left by your missing companion, getting a new pet can help ease the pain. It worked for me. I now have two rescue kitties, sisters, strange and unique, sometimes frustrating but always endearing. Maybe it could help you too.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog earlier this year and I can understand exactly how you feel. Sending prayers for you and your family
It's amazing how placing the pistons in place looks boring. What most people forget is how important it is to pay attention to detail, so no mistakes are done. Also, the bolts that keep the connecting rods in place are subjected to incredible pressure. It's mind blowing. Great video, Ray. And the sound is on point. Don't worry, we love to hear everything.
Agreed ... what amazes me is how close everything lines up and yet it moves so smoothly ... its like magic ..
@@startrek133 Imagine the forces a top fuel dragster's connecting rods take in a run. That's some pretty tough aluminum.
@@richb.4374 Those rods are steel. Or maybe titanium, I don't know. Don't even look like connecting rods, just a big block of metal, with hole on top and bottom.
Hey Ray I hope to see the rest of the build and when you first fire it up luv watching your videos keep them coming please
Am a huge fan and watch regularly. Always enjoy engine rebuilds. Did a partial rebuild on my first car, 150 years ago when I was 15. Was a 62 Studebaker with a straight six. Put rings, rod bearings and new head on it in the street in front of my house. Winter came and when I got my drivers license, drove it for the first time. Ten blocks from my house the engine seized! Had a junk yard engine installed and called it a day. My career path led to commercial industrial HVAC including Water Chillers and Steam Boilers. Always wanted to rebuild a engine (properly) but never have. Fascinating to watch you and imagine all the mistakes that I made
so many years ago and surmise why it failed!! Thanks for a GREAT Channel!!!
150 years ago?wow you old dude!
Anyhow when I did a rebuild I would put vacuum hose around each stud on c,rods I didn't have to worrie about hitting the crank with a stud
@@perrylane3254Lmao. 150 years ago was 1874. The first car was a Mercedes, and it wasn’t made until 1885. He must’ve been working on his train 🚂 steam engine in 1874.
Nice work Ray. I had seen people complaining about not speeding through the piston install. They need to understand that most people learn by repetition. Going slow provides a ton more education than showing it once then skipping the rest.
I was getting my youtube certification to be a mechanic. Watching you here I now have a contacted an actual mechanic to pull and rebuild my 351W. Love watching you work
Had a 351W in my '69 Cougar back in the day -- I assume yours is not quite that old? 😄
@@craigcraigster4999 nope 92 Bronco..
At the 351 Windsor engine plant (1973) the block would come by vertically and the pistons were tapped in with one tap (punched in). I think a guy did 2 opposing and put the rod caps on. My job was to put on two cap nuts,torque them 2 at a time ,while putting the other 2 nuts on, then torquing those two. I forget how many engines per minute were done.
Was the '73 351W the same as the version I had in my '69 Cougar back in the day (yeah, I too am old 😄)?
@@craigcraigster4999 yes sir
As a completely amateur mechanic I have done 5 engines. #1 was a 1961 Falcon. #5 was a Ford Explorer. OOHH I love that new ring compressor! Great Work, Ray!
My go to assembly lube is Schaffers Moly EP. The machine shop I work at is a Schaffer distributor and it's the only oil we've used for 30 years! It's good stuff!
Good to c you back! I missed your videos. Hope everything its well with you and family! Happy belated father's day!
I love the way the crank freely turns over with everything torqued down. Very therapeutic to watch.
That one bit of carbon build-up on the first piston that Ray installed is driving me nuts! Clean it off!!!!😵💫
He got it Ajuted with the adjuster tool….🙃
Yer go and clean it youself. He's waitn fr yer.
Should have replaced/upgraded the barbell/dogbone to an aluminum one like the sac city corvette one for $30.00 while you were there. The oil galley oil diverter Barbell in your Gen III & IV LS based engine is something that is overlooked. And yet it serves a very important mission of directing oil to the oil filter. If oil leaks past the Barbell, it will go unfiltered directly to the Cam Bearing, Lifters, Crank and Rod Bearings. The factory Barbell is approximately .020” smaller than the oil gallery, so particles as big as 250 microns can leak past the factory Barbell. Your oil filter will filter out approximately 25 Microns depending on the brand of filter. As the original inventor of the Aluminum Precision fit Barbell, we are always striving to make improvements. Our latest 4.0 update has, as with our previous versions, we use 7075 Aluminum unlike our competitors that are using 6061. Our 4.0 Barbell has a wider sealing area on the front of it, eliminating the need for an unreliable Oring. During our prototyping we tried an Oring on the front and when installing it, the Oring was getting sliced and chipped on the sharp internal oil ports and left Oring remnants that could have gotten in the lifters and bearings. That’s probably why GM didn’t put an Oring on the factory Barbell. Our Precision Billet Barbell fits with approximately .001” clearance which might only let 20-25 Microns pass by, that is the same or less than the oil filter. Another important part is the shaft of the Barbell. The oil must flow around it to get through to the oil port. Our latest design 4.0 Barbell has a 30% smaller shaft plus a more tapered design for much less flow restriction. We have also added a 1/4-20 threaded hole in the end of our Barbell for easy removal. Just screw a 1/4-20 bolt in and pull the barbell out. No more digging and prying to get the factory one out.
Better engine protection from much less and smaller particles bypassing, smaller less restrictive shaft for better oil flow, replaceable High Temperature Viton O ring and for ease of service a threaded 1/4-20 hole. Why would you ever put the plastic factory Barbell back in your expensive Gen III & IV LS engine and let unfiltered oil in? Our Precision LS Billet Barbell 4.0 Stops Unfiltered Oil & Increases Flow!
I forgot to change mine so it’s sitting in my parts cannon bin. I sent an email if Ray wanted it but, I must have been too late.
There are factory style al units which aren't double sealed to allow the oil filter bypass to work if a ding dong doesn't change their oil like they should, then the other is double sealed for those who actually maintain their vehicles correctly.
@@shadowopsairman1583 The most popular double o-ring barbell is the improved racing one with viton o-ring at each end. The big problem is cutting the inner o-ring and having oil bypass or part of the o-ring come off and flow through the engine. Even with a borescope from the other end, by removing the galley plug, it's going to be hard to check to see if that's happened. The cheap chinese brands don't even use viton o-rings and will disintergrate rather quickly over time.
@MikeOscar-px9xy Perhaps send one to Ray gratis for his long-term future assessment? 😉
I think that the audio is great. The "shop sound" don't bother me one bit. I am disabled and It makes me feel as though you are talking/teaching me in person. And I like that feeling, It makes me feel less isolated than I am. Thank you for making me feel less lonely every time I watch your videos.
Rainman had rain man. 🌧
If as part of the torquing procedure the final step includes a degrees step, you are doing a torque to yield step, and the bolts are stretching, and need to be replaced unless you can accurately measure the full set of dimensions for the bolts to confirm they have not exceeded a MFG specification. rod and main bolts/studs should be the place you dont skimp on this.
I was going to say the same thing. Once you apply degrees to a torqued fastener, you’re now stretching it for clamping force. At this point, new hardware is HIGHLY recommended. If I were a shop owner, I’d be sure to CYA if the customer says not to replace a torque to yield fastener. Just my opinion I guess.
all good and yess could hear the time clock ray.
Love the sound of the rain. Keep the background noise. Sounds more natural.
Building an engine by hand is a work of art...
Not the way he’s doing it. It’s more like finger painting.
A work of Ray.
Well, he's restricted as to what the customer wants, but paying attention to detail is important.
It's amazing the subtle little differences have been made to engines over the years.
The LS engines are completely different than the old small block Chevrolet of the 70's and 80's.
Most engines aren’t built by hand anymore, because machines are better at tedium.
@@russianrick8403they can't see or feel if anything goes wrong 😢
Great to see an engine being rebuilt by hand can't wait for the starting of the engine 👏
Pretty slick ring compressor...I like it !!!
I enjoy the background noise. It's like being in the shop/garage/shed on a rainy day.
You can number the rods and end caps then they’ll never get mixed up. 😉
Always.
Yelp, always
Yes I always have too. Did he put the evens on the odd side & visa versa. I saw a 3 on the :rod left front on the table @7:42 🤔🤔
@@petermurphy3354 🤷😉😂🤣 I don’t think it’ll make that much difference in a street engine now a top fuel it’ll let the smoke out. 😉
@@petermurphy3354 Boeing hiring mechanics like him.
Don't let the RUclips engineers distract you. You're doing it right.
Also just forget noise canceling exist, because The rain is very calming, especially while waiting at a weigh station for the DOT.
Reminds me of that app " Calm"
(Very relaxing)
For some reason, watching the assembly is relaxing. Great video Ray. Can't wait for the reinstallation, and start up.
Sounds like you're next to a waterfall, but it's therapeutic. We can hear you just fine. Audio is just right!
Love the rain ambiance and the videos. We can hear you clearly, there's no muffled audio, and you're in stereo. The sound is great again. I've learned a lot about gravity and vehicles watching you. Cheers!
Overtorqued cam bolts. Timestamp 57:24 shows torque wrench click on RRR bolt immediately, then additional turn off 40 degrees. Did the same on second bolt. Check it!
Wow you saved the day
Agreed. I was thinking all the cam bolts got over- torqued.
Also, better word for friction in this case - can't give time stamp but early in on first piston install - try "surface tension".
Sorry to add this Ray but thought I noticed you breaking loose a torqued fastener with the torque wrench. Please don't. If I'm wrong, my apologies. Love the videos btw!
Just discovered your videos, great love them, please don't lose your honesty.
Masking tape, arrows and numbers were always how I went about rebuilding engines. Never got them mixed up. Looking back, how much tape glue and residue did I leave behind after being so confident in my ability?😮
Brilliant watching Ray do this rebuild and very therapeutic, instead of watching for students mistakes.
Quick edit: Holding the torque wrench correctly was something I struggled to get people to understand. Understood the math but couldn’t understand the physics and vice versa.
38th! Hope all is welll on this summer Monday morning Ray,Lauren,and Dave. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
The Rain sound is therapeutic.....
Ray your the best I’ve been a subscriber for 3 years I love your channel. Really think your shop is looking great thank Dave for his work. It’s a great thing you did for Dave with the tool box I’ve got the same one it’s perfect for him. I think the channel is getting better with the new shop. Thanks ❤. I also like the Wife’s channel but RUclips has been unsubscribing me from the channel
Love the sound. As someone that built motors for 30 years I loved watching you.
sometimes I open RUclips just to see if you uploaded a new video, you're a legend man
Rain was therapeutic, Hope you're well.
Till next time friend
Welcome back my man hope you had fun.
I'm not sure if it would affect anything or just burn away, but the way 3d prints are made, those rings are just scraping down multiple lines of plastic, and could easily get pieces in the rings. It's a cool idea, but I worry about if it could cause any damage.
Either way, glad to have you back on your normal schedule!
The sound is ok. I can accept the rain noise.
Dude, you gotta replace the conn rod bolts. They're one of the most stressed parts of the engine, and are torque to yield. You never reuse them. If you're gonna do a job, do it right. Call ARP or Summit and get new bolts.
The minutia of assembling an engine, this being "just" the short block, when captured in detail, can be enlightening to many. Doing it properly, another step of detail. It's been a long time since I took part in it, even though this, for me, was only virtual, it was satisfying. Probably why I liked doing it. Terms like short block, or long block, glosses over the amount of labor to create them. I'm looking forward to the next video.
We did get an impromptu cameo of Lauren/WifeUnit during the rain storm. Thanks. 😊
Ray is a pro when it comes to the 'reach around' maneuver.
Nothing like our favorite Rainman building an engine while it rains. Ray's videos make my day more enjoyable.
I knew you were secretly a member of the Mandalorian clan. "This is the way." This is the way, indeed.
Rain sounds were relaxing…it was like being at an LS spa 😎
I'll start off with "I am more qualified to blow up an engine than building one"
Thanks for showcasing this one. I am sure you have commenter's calling this tedious, boring, or whatever. I an thoroughly enjoying watching you go through the process.
My only gasp was that you employed significant amounts of attention and caution this the exposed rod end, instead of some sort of silicone protector.
Regarding the rain in the background, I'm in Phoenix, it doesn't rain much in these parts.
For the internet ree you can't get enough of: I am absolutely flabbergasted you don't have one of the engine stands with the push button actuated gear driven rotation, suitable for twelve thousand pound engines.
I'm looking forward to you putting the top end together.
Welcoming back!
Rainman Raining Ray today.
I was worried about a few of those cover bolts cross threading for a sec, but you Made it Work.
Ray, let it rain baby. I live in Arizona - it's a sound we love to hear.
Once again, I am so fascinated with your DOCTORATE IN AUTOLOGY. Another piece of knowledge for me to find in my FUNK and WAGNAL kinda feeble mind. Attention to detail is always in style.
So far the background noise is fine. It comes out more when you aren't talking but when you talk, the background noise gets more quiet and its not a big deal. Just glad to seeing more content from the RAINman ray. :)
That ring compressor is a game saver.
So I guess you saw ARod? Maybe? Hope you videos! Being an avid fan of 5.3, mine is a Vortec. These rebuilt videos are awesome. And your torque sequences were great ! Welcome back!
This video could have been the recipient of a time lapse with great response !
Ray is doing it like my uncle and grandfather taught me. Tighten one part down and spin the crank. Feel how it turns. If there's any binding. Find out why before moving on.
Nice video Ray! You are a brave man though, taking on a rebuild, considering all the other work you have goiing in a general repair shop for so many makes/models. I get there aren't than many good machine shops any more. Looking forward to 1st start for the LS!
Audio checks out. Even with the rain you can hear the difference in the hammer noise when the rod bottoms out.
Also, for me personally, actual clicky wrench sounds better without the microphone strapped to it.
Lovin' that new ring compressor. Only drawback I see is needing a different one for each different engine. Much better than the old springboard type of thing...
appreciate your demonstration/ tutorial on engine assembly.........hope you do more
Now I know one thing an 11mm socket is used for. Thanks Ray!
The sound quality is fine even with the rain
Yes please leave the rain noise going... It's awesome I have a brother that lives in Central Florida... I have visited him many times and experience that rain I think it's awesome
In addition to that I'm in Seattle area.. we get a rainstorm like that 4 or 5 times a year... But they last all day..
You get a storm like that 200 times a year but the last 45 minutes 😮
I watched the cam rotate to the left when you loosen the bolts the first time to remove the gear. I’m surprised you didn’t notice that.
Love that ring compressor. So simple.
Bolts that are torqued to a degree after foot pounds (or inch pounds) is what is called a torque to yield bolt. The bolt is tightend to its max specificed/designed foot pounds, and then it is "overtightened" by x degrees. Metal will expand and contracts as it heats and cools, so some bolts are "over" torqued to accommodate this. This is commonly used on critical fasteners inside a engine like bearing bolts, and cylinder heads.
Bolts that are torque to yield should never, ever be reused. They have been stretched over what they were originally designed for when over torqued by x degrees. Bolts that are overstretch losing their clamping force by a lot! They lose their strength by a lot! And they can never be retorqued correctly!
I am willing to bet money somewhere on that spec sheet it says that if your going to check clearances with plastic gauge to only torque the bolts to the foot pounds spec, check clearance, and only use the degree spec on the final torque!
Doesn't mean a stretched bolt can't be successfully used. It may be longer now, but it could still be torqued and stretch again, further than before. If the original stretch were to render the bolt useless, many would fail just from the variances in manufacture.
Nice work Ray 👍
Good to see you Ray, was looking forward to this one! Keep up the great work!
Getting around to it kind late.. was gonna enjoy the white noise of the rain but now i gotta potty lol
Hi Ray, I look forward to your videos, can't wait to see what you get into next also your videos have helped me fix my own cars to save myself hundreds of dollars. Thanks and God bless you and your family. 😊
The rain wasn’t as therapeutic as watching you assemble a SBC
It's a LS not a SBC
@@bigdaddymak1439 call it what you want. It’s still a small block and it’s going in a Chevy. 🤙🏻
@@Tablesaw818 just saying nobody calls a LS a SBC
I wanted you to use the Brake Clean...because I like that surprise orchestra music🤗
Rain is a bit loud, but can still hear you nice and clear.
That piston ring compressor is super slick. I’m gonna have to get myself one
Nice. That's a 3d printed ring compressor. That's awesome.
Great job Ray. Enjoyed watching big 6 liter air pump
Funny how many automotive sports DIY racer mechanic guys don't even bother anymore, showing off their monthly total engine rebuilds, because people got bored of it.
This what you call a budget rebuild 2 bucks a square how long before it blows up!should put lock tight on the cam bolts
😂😂
I love the sound of the rain.
Sir Ray,
I like your channel. I watch your videos when I can and enjoy them thoroughly.... However....
I really wish that you'd please consider posting more videos that are less than an HOUR LONG. This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.
I will get some extra time to browse videos and, EVERY SINGLE video from Rainman's channel is over an hour long.
I just don't always have THAT MUCH time to dedicate to just watching ONE video.
That is a nice ring compressor. The tapered design is much more stable than the clamp style.
FWIW it appeared when you loosened the first cam gear fastener 55:08 you spun the cam about ten degrees counterclockwise. The second fastener moved it another 35 or so for around a 45-degree counterclockwise rotation from vertical alignment.
On the cam bolt torque wrench clicks at 18ft/lbs then ray reefs of em lol
I live in a house with a tin roof. I gotta say the sound is very comforting.
When it rains at night, I get my best sleep.
I am loving this rebuild, can't wait for the next one 😊😊
Rainman disappeared like a fart in the wind. Glad to see you’re back to work. I missed my morning dose is Ray.
When it’s all out and disassembled time to add performance parts and a supercharger
Wow an adjustable wrench don't see them too much anymore but it is probably the best tool for that job
Puts a mic on the torque wrench to provide ASMR clicks, nice.
Rebuild on a budget Ray you are doing a good job
Ray have a good day. Hope your fathers day was good!
Nkise canceling good. Not as loud. Use the furry cover (dead cat) to cover the mic works like a charm
We desert rats love listening to the rain! We only get about 7.5" per year.
All the new sound changes sound fine to me.
Except when we get the occasional supercells that dump enough liquid for flash flood conditions -- not an everyday occurrence for me though (Palm Desert), thankfully. 😉
The noise sound is great. I hated the noise cancelling. We want to hear everything you hear.
Smart to mark your bolts with a yellow paint marker so you know what blots are tight.
Love that ring compressor
Like many others i don't mind the rain (I live in England!) but i do think there was so much repetitive material. You used to shw one spark plug being removed and then😢 fast forward the rest of them, the same could have been done with thd piston assembly.
Good camera angle on the torque wrench.
Yes Ray I heard the clock
Hey Ray, it's called a cylinder, not a "hole. "
Rain sounds great!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who clicks the torque wrench 4-5 times after it tells me its tight and torqued 😂😂😂😂
