    Joe that is so awesome, thanks for the shoutout I am so honored to be the first one on the bead roller board, it is going to be cool to see the stickers go up

    4.3 L is very reliable, worth a rebuild.

    • @BadHombreGarage

      Right on, I'm looking forward to getting it in the old Jeep.

    I dig the Model A in the intro. My father has one with a 5.0 and a frame he built himself.

    • @BadHombreGarage

      Cool, thanks. There are a lot of videos about the Model A on the channel if you want to see more of it.

    I'm sure you're aware of this but compression would be better with a warmed up motor.
    But I like your set up. Did a really nice job on that honing of the bores and I'm following your build. Really nice

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  9 месяцев назад +2

      Great point! I wish I could’ve checked it warm. More videos out soon on this build. There’s a good debate out there on the hone job: straight bar vs. dingle ball. I guess time will tell!

    • @JacobWinkle
      @JacobWinkle 9 месяцев назад

      @@BadHombreGarage You'll be just fine with the honing. I wouldn't be worried about that honestly. Got the cross hatching in the bore and the piston rings aren't catching on a deep grove to premature wear on the rings. It's perfect the way you honed the bore.
      I learned that just because they are taken to a machine shop, doesn't mean that it's the best. Depends who is doing the machining and I don't know about you but we honestly don't have a good enough generation now that is interested in trades. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of young kids interested in it and the reason why I personally don't have a lot of options for machine shops around me due to a lot of them retiring.

    Question, iv got this motor in a rat rod and I’m getting a little dieseling after cutting off the motor after a long drive. I’ll cut the ignition off and then I’ll get about 3 seconds of fluttering before she actually shuts down. Any suggestions? Bad piston ring? Anyones hell would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  2 года назад +1

      Sounds like a cool rat rod! You'll have to send me a pic at badhombregarage@gmail.com. As far as the dieseling goes, I can only guess what the problem is, but I'll give it a shot. Dieseling is usually caused by excessive heat and pressure that causes the residual fuel/air to ignite. What causes this? It might be timing that is too far advanced, carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, or an overheating engine. My guess is that it is probably a combination of all three, and that it is not necessarily bad piston rings. Bad rings can be discovered using a compression test, and that may lead to excessive carbon in the chamber, but if the compression is good then your rings are good. I'd run a compression test, and if it goes well then doublecheck timing. Does your rat rod run hot? If not, is the temp gauge reading correct? If that all checks out and is good, then maybe check to see if it is running rich and leaving excess fuel deposits in the cylinder on shutdown.
      Anyone else out there with some ideas or help for @NoblesTx?

    Ah, you'll b better off in the long run rebuilding it now anyway. Its always a pay me now, or pay me later situation. It would be interesting to see what the wear is on the internal parts. I had an 87 chevy Cheyenne pickup I bought new that had that engine. It was a great little rig!!!

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  Год назад +3

      I tore it down a couple of videos later. Everything looked good! A little worn, but I’m just going to put rings and bearings in it and put it back together.

  • @JamesBrown-ux9ds

    Sell it, buy a better one! (?) Maybe i go straight for a rebuild one? I think most of us do make more money per hour or day in their jobs, than in rebuilding engines eventually. (A bad engine is a bad risk - and better a rebuild chance for another guy most of the time?) Anyway, thanks for sharing 🤗
    (I split, see, inspect, measure engines i have been using for a long time/high mileage, just for fun - and gain a little more experiance, and then they go to the yard. It's nice and worthwhile to see an engine from inside and all of it's parts done 200k or 260k, but not worth considering to 'rebuild' it.)

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  3 года назад +1

      Probably wise advice. But, I’ve torn the engine down and am going to do a budget rebuild.

    Love your s10 engine. I have an s10 4x4 with a 6 in. Lift sitting on 33s. I also have a stock v6, single barrel. I want to convert my v6 into a beast. Cammed for highway & power. Can you throw us a video of what to buy to make it happen? I, and I'd bet many s10 owners, would love it. I need guidance. Can you help? Greatly appreciative..

      Awesome. I’m looking forward to getting that one together this spring.

  • @DamonMedekMusic
    @DamonMedekMusic 2 года назад +1

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing. How long do you think it'll take a beginner to do what you're about to do? Just doing cheap bare minimum replacements, nothing fancy.

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  2 года назад +3

      Well, that’s a tough question. I say a normal guy can do it in 1 week. Add in life, and it takes a guy like me 1 year.

    • @rgnichols567
      @rgnichols567 Год назад

      Depends on what you have to work with in your shop, & how handy you are?? Things like this require one to enjoy the journey of the swap, as much as finally getting it all wrapped up.....imho.
      My 2 cents. I love doing this kind of stuff, so that helps alot as well.
      Good luck.

    Hey love this swap idea and have been thinking about for my 51 cj5. What trans are you gonna use?

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  2 года назад +1

      I am planning to use the stock transmission.

    Some times the "cheap' price leads to more money down the road. At least you not take the easy way of Lets just put an ls in everything. Hopefully it won't be really that bad.

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  3 года назад +1

      Haha, nope, no LS for me. It shouldn’t be too bad.

    V8 makes way more power guys don't be fooled. Many regret a 6

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  7 месяцев назад +1

      I agree, a v8 would be more powerful. But hopefully this v6 is enough.

  • @ronsgarage4230
    @ronsgarage4230 3 года назад +1

    At least it is already out and you don’t have to pull it to rebuild it. Lemonade man lol.

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  3 года назад +1

      You’re right! It won’t take too long to tear it down. And, it’s for a rig I don’t need to drive every day so I can take my time.

  • @dmarical14
    @dmarical14 8 месяцев назад +1

    I think one of these days a 4.3 is going to be sought after.

    @DesertRatFabrication 3 года назад +1

    Oh Joe, I feel bad for you buddy, but look at the bright side you get a few more videos out of it and we get to watch you rebuild an engine, you know something else with that beard you kinda look like that vice grip guy, lol

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  3 года назад +1

      Yeah buddy, I’m going to do a series of tear down, cleanup and inspection, and assembly. It’ll take longer to get it done than I hoped, but it will be good.

    • @BadHombreGarage

    A turbo 6 still bad on gas

      Probably a fact; irrelevant in this build.

    I have v6 in the 80s. Sucked

    • @BadHombreGarage
      @BadHombreGarage  7 месяцев назад +1

      I guess it’s a matter of comparison. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed with this one
