    Self taught for the most part.
    Lots and lots of reading and even more wrenching over the past 20+ years. The best way to learn is to take something apart and grow your experience and knowledge by putting it back together according to rules and techniques of those more experienced than yourself.
    That's the number one reason we produced the 'Basic Engine Building' DVD... to share the knowledge of all those years and get someone with a bit of interest past the learning curve of starting out.

    Very glad to hear the DVD was so helpful to you...
    That's why we made it. There wasn't anything out there, so we decided to make it as informative as we could.

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  16 лет назад

    Right on!
    Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you had a successful rebuild with our help.

    Man you really tear that engine apart and rebuild just like a walk in the park! Thanks for the knowledge, very informative for someone who's not cracking an engine open every day.

    @M0FHIRY We're glad to hear our DVD helped your understanding so much...
    We're working towards some type of digitally available version, but for now, the full sized 3 1/2 hour DVD version is the best one to check out... besides the free chapters here on YT.

    Yes, using a stretch gauge on the rod bolts is much more accurate for final tightening of the rod bolts.
    You must have rod bolts that are machined with dimples to accept the stretch gauge though, and generally the method is considered a high performance engine building technique.
    This sample is from the project called 'Basic Engine Building'. For the average stock engine rebuild, standard rod bolts and torque ratings are fine. In high performance building, the stretch gauge is preferred.

    @69FordPickup Thanks for the kind words.
    We put a lot of time and effort into the production of the 'Basic Engine Building' DVD.
    It's nice to get great feedback.

  • @BoxWrench

    Yes, we do. It's called the "Mazda 13B Rotary Engine Rebuild DVD". You can find it in our store online in the Imports section. Hope that helps.

    That piston install hammer is made of plastic and has dead-soft shot fillings. It's made for beating in pistons on purpose. The particular type of ring compressor we used required solid strikes to the piston for install. There are many other methods to do the same...
    No pistons were harmed in the making of this video... : )

    You can do all kinds of top end improvements such as Carb and Intake swaps, even cylinder head or fuel delivery alterations to gain slight increases in power. They will give you nominal gains in power and certainly nothing you will feel by the 'seat of your pants'.
    The biggest difference you can make if you actually want to feel the increase in power (as well as easily notice a decrease in fuel economy) will be to change the camshaft.
    A cam change is the single most effective power builder.

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  16 лет назад

    Yup, it's hard to break old habbits with die hard, old school mechanics.
    We like to use cutting edge and innovative tools when they come out...that orange piston hammer is awesome because it's safe to smack on pistons and has the long nose that lets you tap the piston gently all the way down until it lightly seats on the rod journal.
    It's way better, it's much easier to tap while using your other hand to square up the rod to the crank throw to be sure the bearings meets the journal squarely.

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  15 лет назад

    This DVD does show a complete teardown and build-up of a complete engine assembly (actually 3 different types of V8s)
    You can use the info to build any type of piston based gasoline engine.
    We have people that have built import 4 cylinders, straight 8s and even V10s and V12s.

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  15 лет назад

    We actually use Lacquer Thinner more often than Acetone but either of them are used frequently through any engine rebuild to clean parts surfaces.
    Before you paint anything, you should degrease the surface with Acetone or Lacquer Thinner.
    Before you apply gaskets sealant or dry gaskets you should prep the surface with Acetone or Lacquer Thinner...
    The 'Basic Engine Building' project shows all of this being done many times throughout.

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  14 лет назад

    @tcschuett you need to pay closer attention when you watch instructional videos before you flame in the comments...
    The impact wrench is used during the 'pre-assembly' mention of the video and the setting on the wrench was at lowest torque rating meant only to seat the main caps past their notches (standard on SB Chevy)
    The beam torque wrench is also only used during the 'pre-assembly' mention in the video.
    The "final torque" setting is done at 1:33 with a pro grade click type torque wrench.

    the DVD covers intake manifold removal and installation.
    If you'd really like an '8-stack', you would need to get the appropriate intake manifold and carbs and just use the instructions on the 'Basic Engine Building' DVD to correctly seal and install your new intake to your cylinder heads.

    @X2N18 Unfortunately, all of our DVD's that we sell were made well before HDTV's even came out. They are all SD. We do all of our modern stuff in full HD, but no new video projects in the works, other than a NOS video to finish, and that'll be digital download only, most likely.

    @69chevymaro yes, this video is an intro to the 'Basic Engine Building' DVD that we offer from the BoxWrench site.
    The video is not a 'talking head' however. It's a complete step-by-step how to that shows close-up details of every aspect of a complete piston engine rebuild, including the parts traveling through a machine shop.

    Great videos...any chance you could tell me what brand your rotating engine stand is please? We are working on a Ford 390, and have replaced the engine stand three times. Current rotating stand is from Jegs and is rated at 1,000lbs. Stand works great, but the pin on the crank handle shears once you attempt to rotate. Thanks in advance!

    The large Ratchet wrench that has a dial at the end (or sometimes an integrated scale) are called "Torque Wrenches".
    The complete details of types of Torque Wrenches and how to use them are covered in the full size 'Basic Engine Building' DVD.
    Torque wrenches are also covered in the "Engine Building Tools" section of our Community forum at the BoxWrench website. Link is shown in the logo to the upper right as well as within this video...

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  16 лет назад

    There are some stores that carry the old version of the DVD called '8-Point Rebuild' but don't bother with that version.
    'Basic Engine Building' is the highly improved 2nd edition of the '8-Point'. There's an extra hour of footage and was completely re-written and re-narrated. Lot's of computer animations added too.
    Links to get the disc are at the top right of this page in the "more info" section or our URL is in the top right logo as well.
    We ship DVDs everyday...hope to hear from you!

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  14 лет назад

    @goldfishcarlos if you watch again at 1:24 we use 'piston ring' expander' pliers to expand the rings to fit them over the piston and into the ring groove.
    Then at 1:27 we fit the piston into the 'ring compressor' just before sliding it into the bore and tapping it into the piston with a specially designed 'piston hammer' (you can also use the padded end of a normal hammer handle)
    Our 3 1/2 hour DVD, 'Basic Engine Building' will take you through every step in a rebuild if you're interested...

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  16 лет назад

    The clip mentions "any four-cycle engine" which yes, refers to pistons engines. Technically, a rotary engine could be considered a four-cycle engine but really is the exception to the rule...
    The 'Basic Engine Building' DVD is about as close as any single video project can get to covering the tools and techniques of an entire group of engine families.
    Rotary engines have always been the exception to the four-cycle family. We'd love to see someones efforts in explaining the differences...

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  15 лет назад

    Most serious engine builders don't expect much out of th 305 blocks...
    You can bore out the cylinders a bit, but the overall design of the block and the specs of the crank will limit you to lower-end horsepower build-ups.
    Your best bet is to start with a 350 block and build from there.
    At least the mounts are the same for swapping a 350 into an engine bay that came with a 305...

    The complete 'Basic Engine Building' project is currently only available on DVD. It's three and a half hours long and has a full interactive interface for Glossary Terms and Tool usage through the entire video.
    Would be way too large of a download for the average person with an average connection. Plus, the video looks way better on DVD...
    In the future we'll work on some shorter download purchasable clips.

  • @RiderForge
    @RiderForge 13 лет назад

    @geoff390 I have the basic engine building video and they spend time explaining how to do many jobs with the tools one has available; this might explain why 3 different tools are used to tighten these bolts. It's probably for demonstrative purposes.
    I don't like "rattle guns" myself, but I don't see any harm in using them to start a bolt. If anything I would think it is simply more time consuming having to switch tools.

  • @BoxWrench
    @BoxWrench  15 лет назад

    You definitely don't want to actually, continuously turn the engine over while priming. Especially if you have a new flat tappet style camshaft. You'll wipe all the protective break-in lubricant off the cam lobes before start-up...
    Set the engine at TDC for #1 and run the primer drill for a minute or two (occasionally it takes longer) then rotate crank one full rotation (this will be TDC for exhaust stroke #1) and run primer again.
    Repeat until all rockers oil. the 'BEB' DVD shows all this...

    @turbouserwithnos What does a rotary engine have to do with a video that is obviously all about piston based engines...?
    Rotary engines burn gasoline, so do piston engines...outside of that fact, they're very different animals in design and function.

    Maybe we should have been more specific and said that all "piston-based, gasoline-burning, non-diesel, four-cycle" engines are the same with regards to the engine building tools and techniques required...
    All those specifics don't exactly make much difference however when it's completely obvious to anyone watching the video that we are working on a piston-based, gasoline-burning, non-diesel, four-cycle engine...
