HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2022
- Definitely a lot of steps when installing a crankshaft. But finally managed to install it !
Ford FE standard main bearings- SLP-125M
FelPro rear main seal- FEL-BS30138
I like the way you work and the way you learn and then teach.
great job and nice music and slowly and surly ! top job .
Nice work! Your voice and laugh remind me so much of an old friend I have not seen in ages and it is oddly comforting, haha.
Hahaha working on these cars should be fun. So I try to not take things so serious. Thanks for watching!
Huge hello from the UK. I'm just about to start building a 390 out of a 64 4 door. I've never built an engine before and your videos are going to come in handy more than you know.
Thank you 🙏
Haha wow didn’t know people watched my videos from the UK. That’s really cool! That book I use is really really good. It’s by Barry robotnik, just that one source will give you lots of info
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie I have the same book, but as a visual learner, seeing you do these bits has given me more confidence to do mine. I've a huge delivery from Summit on the way to the UK right now so i can start.
@@perryfeighan3969 yes, it’s not as complicated as it looks. Just need to be detail oriented and double check clearances. The machine shop should have already checked everything but doing a double check can save the build!
I’m watching from France too ! I’ll be building a 428 soon !
I am building a 1962. I agree with mry82. Growing up in califas and living there until my 30s, I miss my friends out there. Sitting around, working on our bombs and talking shit. You are doing a great job on your rebuild. You show plenty of attention to detail, which is rare these days. I am jealous of your 428. I am heading down to just south of Juarez Mexico tomorrow to look at what's supposed to be a 428 cobra jet.
Hahaha that’s awesome man, I have a couple of friends near me but most of them are
Not really into cars.
That’s cool! These 428’s seem like they have some good power, let me know how it turns out!
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie unfortunately, people selling car stuff lie more than a woman who wants your money. So it will probably turn out to be a Hyundai engine with a cracked crankcase.
And the "428CJ" motor in Mexico was a beat to crap 360 fe motor, with one hi po head and one low compression head. Needless to say I didn't buy it.
I still pull out the Ford, Mopar, GM, Cummins or CAT manuals for guidance.. and yes we all had those first builds and to this day I'll still follow the OMM (Original MFG Manual)
Excellent work
Thank you!
Not a builder but enjoyed the video. I think this engine will give you 100K miles.
Haha I hope so!
Omar, You do a great job explaining each task. Thanks for sharing once again. Great job.
Thanks appreciate it!!
Nice work 👌.
Thanks appreciate it!
Nice torque wrench bro $$$$
Haha thanks, it’s a really nice tool. Saved up for some weeks to get it. Slowly I’ll start upgrading my tools
You're doing a great job! Can't wait to see it in the car. Keep up the great videos.
Appreciate it thanks man!
Good job young man . I'd venture to say you had some instruction from an ole cuss like me . LOL . Problem solving is key to a good mechanic . You have a talent that is not seen much today . Strive for perfection and you will get the best results ...
Thanks appreciate it!!
If you are pleased with the install and with the prior info you gathered, that is all that matters.
Haha yes, it’s coming along good so far. I’m just trying to double check everything
Been waiting for this !! 🙌
Haha thanks for watching appreciate it!
Great content and work. Enjoying the FE build.
Thanks appreciate it!!
Do the best you can with what you have , keep it up
Yes I try! Thanks!
NIce job on the video
Oh my gosh Barry Rabotnick??
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie Yep. Your's is a "do it at home" project. I have not worked at that level for a very long time, but that is exactly how I started out. Brings back a lot of memories.
Nice assembly job, .003 is on the money for a FE Ford. We ran .003 to .0035 for clearance on our race motors. Our 428CJ would turn 7000 rpm and made 580hp. That was back in 1980s. Good luck with your build. 👍👍
Thanks Doug, wow 7k rpm that’s crazy haha. Sounds like a rocket
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie that was a 1968&1/2 428CJ Mustang Fastback 4 speed car. Ran the best of 10.72 @ 125mph. Fun car! Sold it in 2003 when I retired from racing. Bought a brand new 2003 Mach 1 azure blue 5 speed for my fun car. Can't wait to see your car finished. Gonna be sweet!
I'm always impressed with your attention to detail when working on vehicles. I don't have any photos to share but there is another step you could have added to removing those fine lines, and improving the overall performance of the crankshaft. You can do this experiment on any hardened and smooth steel surface. Insert a wooden dowell in a drill press (about 3/8 diameter. Apply lapping compound to the metal surface and gently press the dowell into the part with the drill on low to a low medium speed, you'll see a swirl mark materialize. Index the part 1/2 diameter of dowell and repeat, creating an overlapping line of swirls. The lapping compound removes .0001 of metal surface which is negligible for even performance engines. It looks pretty too!
Note: There is a characteristic related to cast iron parts that have threads, it is called 'galling'. If the interlocking thread surfaces are not completely clean and free of minute chips, those chips buildup and collect at one point which prevents screws from turning in some cases, they will just lock up and sometimes can't even be removed by reversing the screw. One solution we used at Catapillar was applying a drop of dish soap on the screw, which solved the problem.
Wow some great information! Never tried the wooden dowel method, I’ll have to look into it. But that description of galling the threads is exactly what it sounds like. Good to know what caused that, I’m sure glad I was careful when it happened
Dude…. THANK YOU…. What books are you using?
The best one is how to build an FE by Barry rabotnick!
Nice! Someday a Shelby Engines new take on the 427 with their heads and intake... you'd love that aluminum block with all the extra gussets and bolts [updated take on the Windsor design] ;-) This 428 will sing nice in the old Galaxy for sure. The colour is fantastic if you can get that colour matched for a full paint job on her.... man :-)) Be sweet for sure!
Haha yes eventually it will be painted. Can’t beat a slick paint job
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie Well you are doing a fantastic job Omar :-) No style quite like the Fords of the 60's but for me, the Galaxies of the first and second half of that decade show the evolution of the FE mind. Falcon's, Fairlane's and Galaxie's :-) Fantastic. Please continue to share. Whatever you think may be dull, be sure to the folk out here in their homes watching, it is not dull but inspiring :-) Thanks!
You’re doing really good and not that you needed to but you owned up to your mistake. Believe me that’s rare these days! Brass headed hammer next time! I’m anxious to see this engine running! By the way Awesome Torque Wrench #snaponrules
Yes definitely learned my lesson. I have a ball peen hammer ordered, I’ll have to see what the difference is with brass. And yes saved up for that torque wrench and finally got to use it. Definitely a very nice piece 👍
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie the significance of brass is that it’s softer but a good steel ball peen will probably do it really well too. I’m going to send you an email tomorrow! Be on the lookout!
Yo man, i my self have an fe 428 in my old cougar from 69’ but my rear main seal is leaking… I changed the seal about 2 months ago. Do u got any tips on how to get it sealed? I have a new seal again and is going to change it again if you got any tips. Best regards William
I would say make sure there are no burrs, make sure it’s clean and put the seal in an offset manor like I did. I used silicone as you saw. Want to make sure it oozes out of the rear back cap. That will let you know it’s sealed. Take your time on it and you’ll have it sealed up.
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie okey Thanks alot.
after torquing down the mains on mine it had a lot of drag when trying to rotate, had to use a lot of force to rotate...?
It’s supposed to be really smooth, you will get some drag by installing the last main with the seal but should still spin with fingertips. Did you measure all your clearances?
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie yes clearances are good , removed all caps and found #4 as the cause , bearing surface was shiny on only these shells. Thinking of swapping shells with #2 to see if I have the same issue? Not sure what to do.
@@tonychavez2083 yes you could try swapping them and clean clean. What are your clearances
👍
Thanks for watching, how is the galaxie!
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie going slow. Been a very cold winter. Things are warming up. Time to get back on it.
Stick to the commentary, lose the music
