    Chief, my mom always wanted me to watch you race on tv with her. Building my first engine in 35 years with a local machinist for my 71 Camaro she helped me get. Inspiration is a great thing

    I’m a tool and die maker. When I was an apprentice I was taught to relieve all threaded holes so they do not pull up. On pieces that are hardened, it will pull a puck out around the hole. We would always go 1/32” larger than the tap size and go 1/8” deep. It is harder to do once something like your block is tapped because the drill wants to grab the threads, but it can be done. A lot of blocks have this done already.
    Keep putting out the great content!

  • @emcneese24
    @emcneese24 Год назад +51

    For you guys who have never used a pipe tap it is really easy to go too deep due to the tapered nature of a NPT thread. Be careful and check fit as you go.

    I always line to set up fail indicator and check the crank for straightness on that center bearing .

    I like how your mill vise also identifies as a sanding block. 😂

    Damnit, that’s a big kick in the gonads on the rods. Would offer you a spare set of mine but they’re used spares and more than likely too long for your setup also. They’re K1 forged H beam 6.125 for the large journals. Was paying attention to you polishing the deck surfaces. Not sure if it’ll be any help to you in the future but it’s a trick I learned in high school working in a Honda dealership for truing up engine cases,heads and carburetor mating surfaces but I’ve used it on cast iron and all sorts of metals. I use glass window panes which I clean with alcohol. I spray the glass and a sheet of emery cloth or wet/dry sandpaper with 3M spray trim adhesive. Let the adhesive set up for 20 or 30 minutes then adhere the sandpaper to the glass using a cut off polish rod from a hydraulic cylinder to roll the paper down so as to avoid air bubbles between the two. After it’s all rolled out flat I cover it with another window pane using a couple of McMaster Carr or Grainger catalogs to weight the top glass down for a few hours.
    Afterwards I have a kickass sanding platen that I can use WD40 with or any light oil. I’ve got them made up in a stack from 120 grit all the way down to 1000. I like using them for true up work on gasket surfaces as using them with the oil really shows high and low spots down to 0.0001 of an inch. I’ve found they do an excellent job on hydraulic equipment where pressures go into the thousands. Using the 9 by 11 sheets leaves some pretty unbelievable results and does it fairly quickly.
    Just thought I’d pass along the tip. Good luck with your Heinz 57 of parts, y’all are doing a great job and as always really appreciate you posting the work here so others can learn. 👍

    With so much time in this sucker you should consider some piston squirters. They really make a difference, and seems like this thing could use it. Since you already converted it to priority mains I think it would be fine especially with a check valve sprayer. Basically the way the aftermarket LS ones use a jig to saddle into the main, and you shoot a long bit through and tangent of the individual journal feed. Then you basically tap it and run what looks like a fine brass tip pointed up towards the piston. You can get a check valve that opens up at 20 30 psi so you basically don’t have to worry about the journal getting starved.
    It does cost a little bit of power technically, but cooling the piston (with how far over bored it is) might be more important.
    Food for thought
