V8 S10 Engine Rebuild: Cam and Short Block (Ep.7 Part 4 of 7)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Next up some other components, like the oil pump, camshaft, and timing chain, need to be installed! The new camshaft being installed is a Speed-Pro CS-1014R according to the spec sheet, as opposed to what the seller said it was (the info that was on-screen when it was first shown). Very similar very mild RV cam.
.420 intake .442 exhaust lift, 278° intake 288° exhaust duration, 204 intake 214 exhaust duration @.050”.
There are a lot of things covered in this video, including some that had to be taken out for time reasons, so there are a few parts out of order or that jump around a bit.

outstanding!!! it is REFRESHING to see a young person taking such care, and with so much knowledge and thoughtfulness. Real nice to see a young person interested in a Chevy instead of a Honda or Toyota. really enjoying this series
I’m not a mechanic but I watch them on RUclips. Best series I’ve ever seen on step by step rebuild. I also love it when you tell the complainers to bug off.
A good tip for installing lip seals with springs, is the fill in the area where the spring goes with chassis grease, that can help to prevent it from jumping out.
Watching this series in preparation for my own teardown on a Magnum 318. Very informative, and showing the care and precision that is needed in the job. Really a beautiful thing, in my opinion.
Liking your approach to this work dude. I’m never likely to own a V8 here in the Uk but I think I like their varied characteristics. Appreciate you sharing👍
This series is feeding my addiction more and more!
I love the shot of the cam installation with the Blazer sitting there watching you work. I bet the Blazer is anxious to get the new engine! :)
Must admit, was not expecting to see peanut butter in an engine building video.
Yeah this guys a clown... Shade tree mechanic
@@Fa-Q2 It worked didn't it? Maybe you're a mechanic maybe not but Ill bet money you've worked on something in your own house that you don't specialize in. Ill remember to call you a clown when you work on your electrical system. It costs nothing to be kind.
Been following this whole series. Loving it!
"The timing has been covered" is now my favorite sentence
Can't Wait to see her run! Love the vids. super detailed on everything! Keep up the good work man
Legit Delirium same! Loving it!
I think WD-40 should sponsor this series!
The nice thing about petroleum h
Jelly is, it stays inside the pump while you assemble the rest of the engine, the assembly lube could run out. And it certainly won't be pre primed
Loving the build!been watching since you started with the blazer
This has been an excellent video series! Great job!
Love your videos can’t wait to see this thing running again
I love this series. And your vids are way better with these detailed walkthroughs. Subbed!
Series is awesome! Can’t wait for the next episode!
"The timing is covered" 😂😂
Love the videos! I’ve been learning so much
Fun fact: Moly is used as the primary lube for the gearing and chains in the M230 30mm chain gun utilized on the AH-64D Apache.
So you have more lift but less duration on your new camshaft.
You plan on more torque on the low /middle rpm and less high rpm power ?
How is this cam described ?
Specs are in the video description. It's a low RPM cam, won't have much top-end.
Oil pan modifications...
I'm getting up there in years and rather aware of ritual vs. practical maintenance efforts. Within the last few years I've converted over from jack-up-the-vehicles type oil changes to vacuum extraction from the dip stick. Given the number of cars in the family I have to service, decreasing the effort is a big plus. And too, if one sticks to a sane oil change interval, oil filters don't need changing but ever 20k miles or more. Think about it... How often does one change their fuel filter? Every gas tank full? Hardly. Transmission oil filter? Certainly a lot more friction material in there...
But, if you must stick with your every-time oil filter change ritual, okay by me, just don't go all zealot on others with different notions.
Anywho, I ran into issues with the C1500 oil pan baffles causing the vacuum tube to get hung up. Off comes the oil pan, some of the sharper metal baffle edges were cut off, and a blocking piece of steel angle iron welded into the place to keep the tube from folding up under a baffle plate.
Now, the vacuum tube easily gets to the bottom of the oil pan without getting hung up.
Oil filter changes still happen, just not on every oil change. My wallet likes it. My back likes it. The landfill likes it. The vehicles are up on jack stands often enough anyway for other maintenance to allow for acceptable filter change intervals.
Kind of rare in my experiences to get a short block with the oil pump and pan already installed.
18:28 those two bolt holes near the fuel pump mount can be a source of oil leaks. Make sure you put bolts in there.
Oh, good point! I meant to point that out in the video and totally forgot to. On later blocks like this one (that didn't come with mechanical fuel pumps but still had the provisions), those are blind holes. On earlier first gen blocks, you are correct, you need to put a short bolt in with sealer to prevent an oil leak from the top hole. Always check that, and make sure the bolt used doesn't hit the pushrod when tightened!
FuzzyDicePimp on those older engines with the pushrod, I would remove that short bolt and install a long one and tighten it until it just contacted the pushrod, then snugged it. Then I'd go ahead and replace the pump. The pushrod would stay in place, and it made replacing pumps on cars with limited access way easier, no fighting to get the pushrod back up and held I'm place while you fought to get the mounting bolts started. After it was back together, I'd remove the long bolt, apply sealer to the original and tighten. I was a gm tech at a dealership, and we all did pumps this way.
Yep, that is how I have done it in the past!
Really enjoying your build series! Great editing and sense of humor- quick question- you reused the original can bearings correct? Did you just inspect for bearing wear and decide they were fine for the new can? I’m doing a similar rebuild on a ford 460 and am on the fence about paying a shop $$$ for cam bearings. Thanks!
Yep, they looked to be in good shape so I cheaped out and left them in. It was a low-dollar rebuild for sure. If it's a valuable engine or one with important parts, unless they look immaculate I'd just get a cam bearing installer and go for it! Just take your time with it and make sure the oil hole orientation and installation order is correct, and it's really not bad!
I’m so glad I caught this late I’m binge watching and I’m so excited to see an engine run with so much meh and don’t do this but I am 😂
so what i've gathered here is that when assembling an engine you should put wd-40, motor oil, or assembly lube on just about everything
i know these vids are kind of expensive but keep it up dude i see good things on youtube with this style of vids
building cars/trucks is expensive making the videos is just time consuming, camera gear can have solid quality for very little price these days
that head gasket is probably where your blowby was coming from. they probably replaced one head n didn't torque it right. Most people don't re-ring engines anymore. you can save alot a money if your junk isn't totally worn out.
I’m impressed by your vast amount of knowledge. How long did it take to learn all that, and did you go to school for it?
gonna be so awesome when its running good vids man
I see you use WD40 so you can reuse the gasket if need be. Another way is to coat the gasket with grease , gasket soaks up grease gasket swells & easy removal Try it.
That feel when you desperately want a project car but don’t have a garage
On a chevy you want both timing gear marks at 12 o'clock, then you can install the distributor w/ the rotor pointing at #1.
You mean after the chain is installed (marks facing each other), rotate the crank so that they point up so that it is starting off at TDC? Good tip, but with the order I went in, the crank was rotated after that anyway when setting lifter preload. So, wouldn't have mattered in my case.
Peanut butter trick, that's funny, really great videos btw. Thanks for sharing!
Love it
If the electric pump fails you are going to jerry rig another electric one until you can get home. You know it either fails at home or a good distance from there.
Absolutely great
I waved to a complete stranger and the next video did not came up, what should i do?
Maybe you've seen them around town in the grocery store before. Best bet is to drive five or six hours and start waving.
I don't think that was enough RTV. Totes gotta get that good goo all around those seals and gaskets. A little on the bolts too just to be sure.
I guess you don't need a cam thrust plate with a flat tappet? My sbc with a roller cam had one.
When I built my small block, I accidentally put a big block oil pump driveshaft in. Didn't know what I did until I couldn't put the distributor all the way in.
Hope it runs good and don’t give you any trouble for the amount of work your putting into it. Did you plan on painting the engine after you get the heads on?
I hope so too! I like doing things meticulously, but making these videos makes things take so much longer and require a lot more effort. I do paint it in part 7 of this episode, working on getting the other parts edited and uploaded ASAP!
Lube everywhere here :D
Nice!
so i might have missed it but what is the advantage of the RV cam over the stock one?
Your videos are awesome. I'm currently in the middle of my rebuild of my 1988 camaro 305 engine to put in my 1991 s10 4x4. Question I see you cut and welded the oil pan. What oil pan is that (originally from) I'm needing help to decide what pan to get
Thanks! The top of the pan (the flange, where it bolts to the block) is the 350 truck oil pan that came on the engine, the bottom of the pan is from the 4x4 4.3L oil pan. You can see it pretty well in Episode 2 of this series, it shows the before/after cutting, and some of the welding process.
Any idea what the lift and duration is on the new cam?
Huh. I always kept Skippy on hand for garage use, but to each their own.
I’m still worried about the welds on the oilpan....too much vibration or hitting an object, and she’s gonna spill.
I can't imagine the oil pan would ever separate. It would most likely fold the sides in before all the welds would break at once. It might develop a pinhole leak if the JB weld starts to break down, but no signs of any issues yet, a few thousand miles (and one minor crash) later.
You clamped your WHAT in a vise?
I'm honestly surprised he didn't spray WD-40 on the rear main seal
peanut better....you are a genius
Wouldn't white grease work out better on the timing chain. Good channel though bud
I'm sure that would be fine, but I don't think it matters all that much in the end. After the white lithium washes off it will only be lubricated by oil, and there isn't any break-in for these timing chains that oil can't handle.
Did I spot the mistake? Pffft no, I can’t even properly change oil😂
I think he tighten the nut shiny side up... i think. cant find any comments confirming this though.
Are you going to paint it ?
For future ease of repair, maybe yellow or blue
Yep, it gets painted in part seven of this episode!
You have part 7 already and haven't posted it?!?!
More likely he recorded everything and then edited every section, that's why we're getting every season of this build instead of a very long video
Correct! I filmed the whole "episode" on the concept of putting the engine back together, edited it into one video (an hour and 50 minutes long!), then split that project file up into these individual parts for many reasons. So the video files for the other parts of this episode are roughly edited together, but still need a few hours of work for each part to be ready to upload!
Honey, the kids haven't eaten for three days and we're three months overdue on our bills.
For that, we're just going to use a little assembly lube...
You shouldnt reuse the gears on the timing chain, because the are worn for the onld chain and can cause it to grenade
If the gears are in good condition like these were, there is really no need to replace both. In normal circumstances, the chain is the wear item as the links will stretch over time. There might be some amount of wear mating between the chain and the gears, but nothing so significant that it will be a problem using a new chain on gears with no visible wear. Plus, a standard small block Chevy wouldn't grenade even if the timing chain snapped, it would just stop running, they are non-interference engines so the pistons and the valves wouldn't touch.
Choosy builders choose JIF!!
wd40 for evrything xd
Where did he get 64cc for the cylinder head that’s only vortec heads
