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!
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.
Yea buddy sounds like you been ther ha ha. I started one in crooked and forgot about it after 6 beers and of course it was in behind the bellhousing. Errrr.
Ive always cleared the first thread or two from the head bolt holes to eliminate the chances of thread pulling into the gasket/head causing sealing issues, makes for a better distribution of force around the bolt hole too
It was nice to hear people are helping you with knowledge and you were humble enough to mention it. I am learning from these videos. I am headed to learn more about main priority oiling. So, thank you again Big Chief!
Chief you have done and shown us gearheads, the finer points on engine building. Nothing but top of the line engineering. Smallest of things can be a big problem. And you have pointed that out. Thank you and continued success.
Thanks to both of you and to Gerald for all the educational content recently and for keeping us included in the action. I can't wait to see some real deal street racing some time soon. Much love
@@kick_then_shift lol word. Yeah I'm an avid automotive youtube follower. And I been watching these two for a long time. Glad to see them on their own and not being hindered by the TV show
@Matt no doubt. I like most of the guys youtube channels. I haven't watched the show in a few years. I'd rather watch Shawn and Justin both here on RUclips. Glad he left the show seems happy to me.
These videos are pretty cool. Watching the whole process reminds me how we tend to take our engines for granted. We just assume they will start and go down the road. We forget they are literally controlled explosions with so many intricate parts. Been a great series of videos!
It sucks not seeing you all on the TV shows. You don't get enough credit for driving that to where it's at. Thanks for sharing your videos. Fun to watch and helpful. You'll always be alot of people's favorite Outlaw. Good luck with all you're cars. Keep the videos coming
JUSTIN, We were first introduced to Mike Murillo at Midwest Street Cars about 8 years ago. He recently made a statement concerning his battle with aggressive lung cancer. We know you and Mike were pretty close and we all PRAY HARD for his recovery. He’s had a pretty shitty year, and we can only hope 2023 offers a little better luck to the Murillo family.
@@justinshearer3016 ya he just posted up a video like same time you dropped this one about 2 wks ago... just want ya too know I love what you've done for the entire automotive scene brother I remember watching ya way back on pinks etc when azn looked like an even younger child (lol) ever since you showed out with the 1st crow ive never wanted one for myself anymore... if I ever get the chance too make it okc I'd love the chance too meet ya brother... anyways stay safe brother and may you and the crow keep hurting everyone's feelings... much love from utah
From the bummer at the starting line lead to some really cool stuff - been a VERY interesting journey since the oil down including the bonus stuff from Gerald - nice choice in music too, toe tapping along with NPT tapping - thanks you guys 🙏
The level of wild beast coming the shop in the videos lately has been off the charts! only thing that can make it better is to get dogs in there, truly a mans best friend! can't wait to see the 383 come back and get tossed back in ol caddy jack.
Absolutely love following along can't wait for the next video. Thank you very much for sharing, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😃 😊 😀 😄
Awesome video, Chief and Jackie. Can't wait to see CaddyJack back together, making liks. Best team at midweststreetcars. You guys are #thebestinthegame
We're here for the long haul. When it's ready it'll be right! Looking forward to it! Oh yeah, saw Limpys old skool video yesterday of you working on the Crow with Shawn and Flip (R.I.P.) Boy was that a throwback!!! Lol
Big chief you are my favorite on the 405 sure miss you on the show. It's not the same without you Jackie. Live in Ohio would love to come and visit your shop. Love you guys.
Chef Chief serving out another small block for Leadfoot to crush with her little feet I can't wait to see it I'm so excited keep up the good work guys everyone go racing get some fun going
Great Video. Your the only reason I watched the other show and have since stopped. Thank God you upload videos to keep us up to date with what's going on. P.s. need more crow update!!!
Thank you for showing all this … I use to be a great engine builder … stopped a few years ago… excited to do this again in the near future … absolutely love your videos and knowledge … watched a video of you busting everyone’s ass in NPK that was epic, really shut up some haters of yours I know … great stuff … your very talented
Enjoy watching you and Jackie build, tune and race. You explanations of the way you do something are great for us average mechanics. How about you relive one more episode of the Chief and Shawn Show for old times sake, loved the way you would mess with the other drivers. From listener #8.
Glad to see you putting videos out, and encouragin Gerald to put videos up. You should link Gerald's channel in the description. I'd love to see a simple MSC shirt with just a simple MSC logo with the RUclips play button next to it on the front. Maybe make it a RUclips exclusive or something.
Thanks Cheif for the entertainment and knowledge and I agree it's best to take your time building these beast it's also good to see Juno is there checking your work lol looking forward to seeing Jackie back out in caddy jack making hits. God bless and as always be safe 👍 P.S. I found myself rocking my foot to your music lol
Spray paint is your best friend in leveling things! I know you wouldn’t want spray paint in the cyl but helps in finding high and low spots when sanding
Thanks allowing us to get to know Gerald. He's a High Caliber Builder. A side of the sport not often shared. Thanks Again and Best of Luck. I kno your lil red corvette that prince sung about. Will atleast run with caddy Jack. The new balance are good for like 10hp. Streamline the foot for proper foot to pedal adhesion
I'm sure there's lots of other channels that tell us how to assemble an engine but I would like to see you do it maybe on another channel. I can assure you I would watch every video. Thank you for all that you show us
All these issues are creating some great content cheif, both Jackie and yourself have been doing different bits along the way. I actually like this slow time with a look at exactly how dedicated and in the shop as much and often to get it fixed and obviously no short cuts because of the bigger problems which will inevitably pop up when Jackie is making a hit...it'll just make us want to see caddy Jack making a hit even more, we're watching and kinda invested to...NOT REALLY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! FROM IRELAND WISHING YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST OF LUCK... 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇮🇪🙏🇺🇲🇮🇪🇮🇪
Proud of you Chief! Also, the engine rotation test looked amazing and smooth. This engine is going to be a ripper, I can feel it in them bones!!! Thanks 👍😎👍
Another awesome video! Hope all works out well for you and Jackie! Ps…love the background music…Stevie Ray Vaughan…doesn’t get much better! Much respect from Melbourne Australia!😀
Congratz Dude! Fit and Re-Re-Re-ReFit is SOP... Chases away Murphy's Law! You can ALWAYS tell when hand polishing she's gettin flat.. The lapping plate sticks! (sucks down)
Love the content chief! Music reminds me of the rat rod days. Early 1970’s nostalgia dragsters & the days of don garlits & the swamp rat. The breaks and walking us through is awesome. Been drag racing for a while. Appreciate all the content
Another great show!! Sorry for your troubles though! I always wanted to build a motor, but I never trusted myself to do it. I can't wait for the next one!!
@1Midweststreetcar1 hi there 😊 I don't want you to give me anything! I appreciate it but I'm unable to buy things from you couse I'm don't have anything and believe me if I did I would buy everything, you guys need your money to keep things going and I appreciate you two and the kitty's!! You made my night!!
I like the block conditioning brings me back to the days I used to "mill" down briggs/tecumseh cylinder heads with a sheet of sandpaper spray glued to a piece of thick glass.
I really enjoy the engine tips n free knowledge u guys give but I do a fair bit of drilling n tapping threads if u do half a turn forward quarter turn back it helps
I checked out Gerald fixing the heads and it was pretty interesting, amazing what somebody who knows what they're doing can bring back to making passes
T shirt idea, given two weeks notice with the bent behind the font. Respect to y’all putting Gerald on the way you are. Knowledge content is way better than allot of what’s happening now. I appreciate the videos.
@@Huntrace87 Did you see the Imanari Roll she pulled? Chief and Jackie need to be careful, that cat has been doing some BJJ and/or MMA training. Gotta watch that one..
Chief you know I love all your videos your damn cat scared the s*** out of me in the last video and now for some reason after watching you work that block I got a hankering for some thin sliced cold cuts keep up the good work brother can't wait to see that motor done
Was going to say, don't sand anything between the cylinders, but look at you go, I would almost like to have them a tick high, but it really comes down to what your comfortable with, looks good
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
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!
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.
always go in like cold water lol
@@justinshearer3016 stop before your balls touch?
So is nobody gonna say "that's what she said"?
Leave 6 to 8 threads to go on a regular tap like what he used 3 to 5 on a stager tooth tap, quick rule of thumb
Yea buddy sounds like you been ther ha ha. I started one in crooked and forgot about it after 6 beers and of course it was in behind the bellhousing. Errrr.
THANK YOU Miss.Jackie and Chief
Always great to see somebody like yourself dumb it down for us(ME), very few do that, thanks a bunch!
I have zero automotive knowledge, but that doesn't stop me from watching you both do these videos....I love watching your progress
