    Love this. Showing it's truly possibly, if you have the right tools, for anyone to do this in their shed.
    Takes me back to 1992 when a friend and I rebuilt the engine in his Datsun 1600. However, not one measurement was taken, did it in the backyard whilst drinking beers, put a cam in it, headers, slapped on a weber carb on it, and just sent it. Indestructible bloody thing. Good times.

    Don't abandon it what ever you do. I always see people building barras or motors of the same type, not often do you see a L36 or L67 build. Yeah it won't have as much gains blah blah, but it's not as common. So keep up the good work.

      The reason you don't spend the money on a V6 is because you'll make way more power with an LS for similar money.
      Plus the V6 is indestructible when kept stock.

    A pain for Scotty but it's good to see a video where there's a problem with clearances. Most engine rebuild videos always seem to go without a hitch. We used plastigauge mostly in the 60's and early 70's on our everyday run of the mill customer cars and never had a problem. For anything a bit more exotic we broke out the dial gauges and micrometers.

    • @biggz_performance_fabricat1261
      @biggz_performance_fabricat1261 3 года назад +1

      I watched the video and saw some of the clearance issues you encountered, those issues generally arise from using upgraded hardware. Upgrading fasteners is a good thing but usually comes with extra some work, due to higher claping force it tends to distort and have bores become out of round. You may need to line bore the mains and hone the rods to remove the distortion. Hope this helps, best of luck in which ever step you take, I'm eager to see your future videos on this build. 🍻 🍻

    Hey guys I noticed in the previous video you guys mentioned the price of the 3 prong bore mic set. Should look into a inside mic (tubular or rod type) much more affordable. Being a machinist myself I find them much more accurate than the telescopic gauges as if you pivot it incorrectly you can get a false reading

  • @SuperTambo69
    @SuperTambo69 3 года назад +1

    Thats strange with the tight clearances. What specs are the old bearings? Maybe thats why there was bearing/crank damage? Or like you said, the ARP studs have altered things.
    Maybe check your clearances without bearings, so you have a base figure to get the correct size bearing to suit 20-25thou clearance

    Hey scotty, not sure if u were using those internal telescoping gauges right (understand there's always more off camera happenning), but what you want to do with them is, you want to: put them inside the bore at an obvious angle, tighten them to an "intermediate" tension, then "rake" them a little bit over centre... ie. going slightly past "square" in both directions. That should bring them to the smallest point, which should be the actual ID. At that point, angle them again, remove from the bore and snug a bit more. then, do the same thing with them when you setup your mics... they should be able to woble free in the mics, because if you tighten the mic up and the gauge isn't perfectly straight, trig says your mesaurement will be under.

      You can't machine the bearings but we'll show you what you can do

    Scotty with the honing u need faster up an down movements to get the angle of the cross hatching right but it should be ok

    Theres a v6 vx commodore with 80 thou kms on it at the wreckers near me looks tidy except for it being a banna. Would the engine be able to handle a turbo without blowing it up lol

    plasti gauge is what I use to measure bearing clearance. ;)

      use some scotch bright to open up the clearances on the rod bearings

    Measure ya bearings and buy bearings to suit king bearings are a very consistent brand with the pairing of bearings so they all measure the same thickness as others are a bit more hit n miss

    Mate if 10 thou was taken off the mains, just think how tight she would be then? Maybe get smaller caps bearings, to be safe, just go the same size for the mains and also the journals as well, go at least 25 thousands or 1/4 of a mm extra downsized for all the bearing caps?

    • @STREETMACHINETV
      @STREETMACHINETV  3 года назад

      Nothing was taken off the mains. Nothing you said makes any sense

    Probably should have sent the block and rod with the crank in the first place so that they could of line bored the block and rods so that the correct bearings and clearances could have been achieved in the first go

    WHY cant the v6 take as much boast as a BARRA ????? thx Scotty

    • @youngfisho
      @youngfisho 3 года назад +4

      Plenty of big boosted 3.8s in America. Long before barra was king. Look up grand national Buick. Plenty of 1000hp builds.

    • @tezzrterry7485
      @tezzrterry7485 3 года назад +1

      The Barra was designed strong by Ford as a turbo optioned engine. The Buick is a really old design, that was never intended to put out huge HP. The AJ Foyt Indy car put out 700+ HP.
