Chief, watching you for 10 plus years, I’m convinced you could be a crew chief /tuner for ANY race program out there. I’m talking right there with the Jamie Millers of the world. Why? Your curiosity and dedication. What you may not know, you will learn it and be great at bc that’s who you are. Great work ethic.
Just speaking the truth bro. There are PLENTY of guys on NPK that simply can’t tune their own race cars and need professional help. It’s not a coincidence that everyone you helped over the years ended up being a winning car and as soon as you weren’t involved, some could barely get down the street!
At this point, only a hand full of wires and 15 or 20 bolts and the engine is out and on a stand. That's how we do these, so much easier to get and keep everything as clean as possible. To each his/her own. Looks like a nice job you did! As an aside, your channel is one of few that I don't find the "music" annoying! Thanks for sharing!
thank you! usually we would pull it and replace everything but we honestly just wanted to get it as good as we could without having to wait on parts if we ended up replacing rods or pistons etc
It’s great watching you guys do regular stuff too and even when the engine is still in the car Chief is OCD about how clean everything is ! I think that’s great 😃👍 Aloha from Texas 😊🤙🤙🤙
I mean basically... yall ain't right, But then again, none of us that love's this shit wouldn't be watching it. Y'all frickin "LEGENDS. Your fan's are crazy as both ya'll. Shit Chief, please don't stop dropping content.
You're right Chief GM did us good this time always that's the reason why I wouldn't buy anything after 2006. I see the boss was on the job checking out making sure everything was going right making sure you guys were doing your job lol 😸🤙🇺🇲
Hi Chief & Jackie! It’s hard to see in your video but are you sure what you thought is an O-ring isn’t Red High temp. Gasket maker someone squeezed in there? It just doesn’t look like an O-ring? Still doesn’t make any sense why it’s in there? Odd?
Thanks Chief and Jackie for the new video it's great to watch you both just doing what's gotta be done can't wait to hear it fire up much Love and Support from Brisbane Australia
Man chief is awesome love how he shows us that he still puts in the time work dedication after all these years that’s y he’s an og and we all love him and Jackie these two are awesome
I've done it with the engine in the vehicle several times; shop owners choice. Last one was a 2021 GMC 4x4. Not doing it that way again; I'd rather take out the engine. It's a couple of hours faster with the engine out, cleaner, and a little easier on the back. I work on flat rate so time is always a factor. Either way you guys have some nice rides and know what you are doing.
Well hello Big Chief your my best racer and a hella car and motor builder and follow what you do! I'm 62 years old and only want racing now but son love it and has a Cadillac V and he love his car. I love want you do and enjoy want you do. Keep on and take care!
Back in the 80s, I was living in my 57Chevy 4door station wagon. Only way of surviving was racing on the main drag. When not running so great, it's surprising how tearing down completely & polishing, cleaning motor & trany ,327+2 speed power glide and using Budweiser cases
*IMPRESSIVE* ok 1st Jackie’s editing skills just keep improving. Love the music change with the cats 🤣 love the shameless merch plugs 👍🏼 and Justin breaking his back by doing a cam install with block in the truck 💪🏼 but the best part for me is Justin’s jokes 🤣🤣 thank you guys much love and respect from the Jersey Shore
Great stuff as always. That block and pistons came out super clean looks like it went to the vat. You got it that clean with just lacquer thinner and paper towels?
Excellent video production. Engine repair was interesting. I assume that the block was run with DOD previous to the cam damage. Interesting modification to always run on eight cylinders.
Us back yarders here down under always do cam valve springs in car, tight ass chop the spark plug and hook compressor fitting so change springs without valves dropping. And the only cams here barely idle lol.
Hey J&J........try Schaeffers or Lubrication Engineers synthetic oil in the truck. Schaeffers has a lot of moly and a killer detergent package, Lubrication Engineers oil is equal if not better on the cleaning side. Either one will save your stuff plus if you go longer on a change it won't hurt anything. Ive run Schaeffers synthetic in all my fleet cars and they run like new with low to no oil consumption after over 100k+ miles
Not telling anyone how to do their job, but I hope you took a look at ALL the cam bearings. About 10 or 12 years ago, I looked at the first bearing only, and I was pulling the engine out 3 weeks later for low oil pressure. It came in for a customer requested DOD delete with 110k on the odometer. The first bearing looked just as good as your's but the middle 3 were trashed. Since then...I pull and replace bearings. The seal on the trust plate was blown out just like yours the first time I went through it. I've had maybe a handful like that since. Long oil change intervals on all those vehicles. I hope you don't have the same trouble I had.
Oh my the lingenfelter plugs are so much; um more safe and better to install then those btr ones...i wouldn't trust myself to knock them straight or without one flying somewhere 😅
There's nothing like climbing up a tree backwards just for a show. :D But the level of clean was above average. This might even run for a while. If the break-in is done with caution and care, it might run for longer. This hippie would've used ATF to soak those lifters. It releases carbon deposits better than regular mineral spirit. A brush is handy, but an air nozzle is better. It also atomizes the atf/mineral spirit cocktail for higher high. Special mention goes to music score. Nice.
@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto The break-in oil needs to be slick 0w-30 or 5w-30 with lots of detergents. max 2000 miles and no pulls. Then you can go to 5w-40 and light load for the next 5K miles. After that oil change, it'll be fine. The slick and detergent is important to get the gunk and assembly lube out and not burn it into the bearing.
@@justinshearer3016 I don't do complements, not my style. But I do do constructive criticism, and give positive feedback when I see positive results. None of this is personal, or focused on negativity. Neither of those will benefit the progress. My goal here is MWSC&A at the top, and Crow with CJ into the winner's circle in Yellobelly, against Cantu, KcMaxx and Nate on 28's. You don't have to like it, or me, but I think we can agree the goal being achievable and worth pursuing. Just not there yet.
lol my valve lapping sticks dont stick no more, so jackie came up with hot glue and she cut off the ends of some old wire brushes to stick in the drill
Thanks guys hope the escalade is good now. I assume you pour water into the chamber to make sure no leaks? Or how do you do it? I assume that you lapped the valves too? Hope you get some races in soon. What is caddie jack needing?
since the valves sealed up pretty good after lapping them in, i just filled the ports with solvent and let them sit for an hour while cleaning other parts. Not super scientific but it works for us lol
Believe it or not I stopped using the gm silicones. Some reason they always leak. I been using hondabond (yes that’s correct lmao) or threebond (part #1217H). No leaks
How did you get pistons to look brand new and cylinder walls look fresh hone? First part of video they were dirty and all Carbonell up? Just asking cuz you didn't show in video
we were annoyed of cleaning and slacked on the filming lol but we put each cylinder to the top and cleaned it mostly with a razor blade carefully for the big pieces and then used the fine scotch brite pads with parts washer solvent or brake clean and scrubbed on them (wet pad so no scratching) and the pistons cleaned up pretty easy honestly. also tried to wipe away as much as we could with paper towels but then sprayed a lot of brake clean down the cylinders to clean any debris out of the block and then we took the oil pan off and cleaned the bottom side as much as we could and cleaned out the oil pan
So now technically Jackie's ride gonna have Big Chief heads lol
I'm impressed by how clean he got that thing. Even the piston tops!
Uncle bucko "lack of maintenance" 😂😂😂

@@timothynalley7802 “couldn’t get down the street” like Shawn🤣 🫣
He tuned just about everyone's car from the 405 for NPK,but the show never showed it lol
Thanks for the reply it’s cool to see someone you been watching for years interacting with there fans .
always!!
It’s EARLY Tuesday ! Great to get a new video Chief and Jackie !
thank you!!
Can't wait to hear it running in a video.
Thanks for sharing Miss.Jackie
thanks phillip!

mission creep happens quick, sometimes before you realize how much crap you have taken off lol
Gerald watching Chief deck his heads with a vice and sandpaper like “am I a joke to you”
lololol i dont like bothering mr brand with our daily drivers
Awesome to see another Chief and Jackie video. Hopefully when i go to OKC in May, i can swing by.
It’s about time for some new merch I think! I need more Midwest apparel in my life!
It’s great watching you guys do regular stuff too and even when the engine is still in the car Chief is OCD about how clean everything is ! I think that’s great 😃👍 Aloha from Texas 😊🤙🤙🤙
Damn dude! Impressed with that cleaning! NIcely done. Cleaner than the day GM put it in the truck... lol
Big Chief watching you in this video, you are an artist. Love your guys' work. Awesome videos.
I mean basically... yall ain't right,
But then again, none of us that love's this shit wouldn't be watching it. Y'all frickin "LEGENDS.
Your fan's are crazy as both ya'll.
Shit Chief, please don't stop dropping content.
we aint right, and you aint wrong lol
Perfect job! I would have done the same. That's why you don't have any engine problems. Thanks for the video.
Use the LME timing chain guide it's for the LT motors but can be used on the ls engines,just remove the o rings...😎👊🏻
Nice... Love how transparent your work is... Wonderful!
You're right Chief GM did us good this time always that's the reason why I wouldn't buy anything after 2006. I see the boss was on the job checking out making sure everything was going right making sure you guys were doing your job lol 😸🤙🇺🇲
Let’s go it’s Tuesday. Thanks Jackie and Chief for the new video. Stay safe out there 👍😎✌️

Go to Chief go Jackie! Always good content thanks for sharing and I hope to see more! God bless
Hell yeah Big Chief. Love your videos, they are always infomational.
Awesome guys..... Thanks 😀
So many uses for a drill press/milling machine vice.
Nice work! FYI the "oil plugs" are just the rollers out of a A37 bearing available at any parts store for about $8.

I use to do like 4 of these jobs a month on gmc Savana 3500 with 4.8,5.3 or 6.0

The merch plug was EPIC🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was wondering where Miss Juno was.... @ 7:55 There her is !! 😁😁
Yes sir thank you for taken your time to teach that good wisdom brother and keep up the good work
Respect from the UK. Excellent, it was early
Great job! I know I wasn’t the only one waiting to hear it fire up at the end 😅maybe on the next video?
yes!

Did you use a phaser block off? Just did a build using the 4degree from BTR
Center saver high pressure lube! Used that stuff on my dead centers on the cylindrical grinder I use to run. 👌
loved this video, love commentary and everything.....

I have that same L86 motor in my Jeep Wrangler swap. watching this video made me order a A BTR cam for it 😅
just wait til you hear it!
Can't wait
High Pressure Lube Interlude RGADS 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

yes! we made sure to check them and clean them all real good!
100% my friend. Keep it real 🤘
I can’t wait to see this engine run I know it not fast but still should be cool love you guys keep it up please
Nice I can’t believe how clean you got that block it looked like you swapped it

Edit: the skreet cats on nightshift too😂😂7:50 lets goooooo
Be sure to put some fogger nozzles in the intake. Keeps the intake tract and valves CLEAN!
You a legend mang! Because of Jackie😂👍

Clean! Can't wait to hear it!
its rowdy for sure!
Gotta love a good tuesday
Gracias por el buen video
Hey Chief, what did you put on the valves when you were lapping them? It looked like you glued something on.
lol my valve lapping sticks dont stick no more, so jackie came up with hot glue and she cut off the ends of some old wire brushes to stick in the drill
Nice! That’s a cool trick, I’ve always hated the suction cup method. I’ll have to give that a try next time, thanks Jackie! 👌🏻
How many hours did it take you from start of disassembly to fire up..
what did you do for front cover leak since silicon can melt if metal is a thermal conductor ?
Thanks guys hope the escalade is good now. I assume you pour water into the chamber to make sure no leaks? Or how do you do it? I assume that you lapped the valves too? Hope you get some races in soon. What is caddie jack needing?

Don't worry about the rough idle, the cam is just young and lopey.
What was the dremel for!!
