I love the smell of machine shops in the morning...tool oil is a beautiful scent!
I did a COMPLETE small block rebuild a few years ago following the lead of David Vizard. I followed all his suggestions EXCEPT rebuilding the points-type distributor. I wen't aftermarket electronic. It was fun and it ran GREAT.
Engine porn, isn't a freshly machined block just gorgeous
That girl can machine my block all she wants
I machine Chevy 350s with a rasp, a file, and garden hose for clean-up.
I know right
I just drag mine down the street for a half mile or so. If the block is really out of spec, I make my wife ride on top wearing a bikini and a cowboy hat.
Fuck yeah!!! Don't worry about the high spots...
I use a rope some cups and a hammer

HELLO MR DUKE FROM HOLLYWOOD !
It's Joseph from Hyundai !
Huwaida showed me your channel, SUPER cool !!
fun fact: I rebuilt my 2011 forester from random youtube videos, prior to that all I had done was change a battery and alternator.
cheers !
Dude!! Welcome and glad you guys found it. You guys are awesome and made my week. Isn’t RUclips amazing? 🤩
Great video. But for some reason, I couldn't get pass the first 5 secs.
🤣
Thank you for the late night viewing party! Glad you like what we're doing. More is on the way and thanks for subscribing!
Its 2am and I just fell in love with you guys
cracks=weight reduction
watermelons how.? If its just cracked, it's all still there.
Also how old school is this now days they have X ray machines which can check for the smallest cracks ,but only those who can afford it ? also acid dipping is the only way to remove everything and then do the rest honning and decking and installing the Welsh plugs and always use brass types or even better stainless steel if you can get them ?
@@MrTonydb13 Because the engine would be a paperweight. Useless.
😂😂😂
"Internal cooling fissures"
Great. All i need is all of that equipment and this will be an easy DIY project.
Very well done. You guys even mentioned in 5 seconds an old secret of mine that used in building the fastest engines in my day.
At the shop I used to work at we had old cranks and bearings that we'd use adn clearance the block BEFORE any other machine work was done.
That's "Clay", our friendly shop squirrel!
Was just curious why they torqued on a torque plate.....but then show them honing the block without it. Then a little bit later the torque plate is back on while they are honing it?
I’d have bolted up a dummy pump to the rear main when line honing. I’ve seen them distort .0015” with the pump installed.
I prefer to use torque plates when honing as well, in all applications.
I get that this is a stock rebuild since several operations were skipped, but those two are pretty beneficial.
She makes my small block a big block.

+VIP MODDING ???
No matter how much you hope, you small block will always be small. Sorry.
Engines and machining my 2 favorite things
Reading a hand held gauge is a skill. No two people will get exactly the same reading. Only way to get accuracy is to remove the human error component but that means more money for a system like Reneshaw. It is worth the money if youncan afford it. Its a must for some, like jet engine manufacturing.
Thanks for sharing this I've been trying to do that for 2 days
Thank for the professional and informative videos. i appreciate the sharing of knowledge.
I do all my machine work with traditional tools sticks rocks and I hone with a pine cone !
....machine shop seems to be mandatory for rebuild, so you are not really "rebuilding it yourself". machine shop =lots of $$. That's why I say it is better to:(1)-remove engine, (2)-order longblock(with a warranty)(3)-remove accessories from old engine and turn in for a core, (4)-bolt everything on the longblock, re-install in car,hook up everything,and go. Still better, If you can afford it, buy a crate engine. Unless you have a machine shop yourself, forget rebuilding an engine yourself, unless it is a very rare or desireable engine.....
Just discovered your series of videos! Stayed up till 4am watching as many as I could. I must say, you remind me of my old teacher in school. You seem like the nicest of guys & really easy to get along with. Hope all goes well, you have a new subscriber also! Love from Australia!
I always install and torque up a dummy pump to the rear main before line honing. It distorts the rear cap up to .002” on some.
Cam tunnel needs to be checked/indexed and corrected if needed, before the decks can be cut from that and the main datum lines.
Stripping the block before cleaning is mandatory in our shop.
How much would this cost @your shop for the sbc
Yes, in fact the remaining episodes that were deleted are being uploaded right now which include the bottom and top end rebuild episodes. We have one more in post-production after those two.
Got a 350 from a Chevy van. Plan is to bore it out and built a racing motor. Gonna put it in a nova.
They really should torque on an oil pump to the rear main cap. It really pulls on it and makes a difference..
You are absolutely correct Tom. And if you're ultimately attaching the pump with a stud when assembling, it should be torqued in this fashion as well with a stud.
T.S. RACING 🇺🇸🏍🇺🇸
Ill take her to my machine shop
;)
sorry... that's not a cold air intake!!! it is breathing hot under hood air. It changes all the fuel trim. The original air cleaner was really a "cold air intake"
People don't get it
NOW under pressure ( via specialised ACID )you have the oil and water guides opened up a little more, think how much they will cost and using the right acid and time line to make sure the right amount of surface is removed and then you have the right cooling and oil transfer, which is what you need to do, especially if your going to add a hi pressure oil pump and hi pressure water or pump ?
great episode chis!
wow you noticed the squirrel!? very vigilant!!!
No problem! I hope all goes well, god bless.
Poor Chirs is trying to rebuild an engine and these craftsman marketing fools have him installing a garage door opener! FREE CHRIS!!!
You are a master.
man somtimes i miss working at a machine shop
Ramona, hometown!
Just sprinkle some pepper to check for cracks
if in Japan, around 2,500USD. To see this video, want to try my old car too.
First 5 seconds were the most important
Don't use anti-seize paste on those bolts!
aw i need to go there on vacation some time
That dude you work with in this episode is funny as shit lol!!
Would be great seeing import motors like v6 4 cylinders jdm getting bored out. Great video!
Hey I't tired of your breaks buddy!!! See ya
Also you should always bore with a head plate for the same reason. You would be surprised by how much torque causes interference. And if you really want your engine blueprinted this is a necessary.
0:01 There is a squirrel in the magazine display.
This is important information.
Looks like Britt took a lil sip of grandpa's cough syrup again
Cool 😎
Anyone else notice the honing without the mentioned torque plate?
And no pump dummy mounted up when line honing.
As far as the spark plug commercial you plugs will only give out what your coil puts out and if you change from standard plugs to hi end Iridium or Platinum plugs is when you will notice the difference compared to say NGK V groves, especially in NEW cars with complex and hi or independant coil packs ?
I had crowner in my engine for few years. Then one of the loop end up worn out. I took the engine completely part and discovered a lot of metal scraps everywhere. I brought new Thumper cam instead of crowner. Rebuild whole thing. You name it. I'm loving Thumper cam better than crowner. Crowner is pretty good but Thumper is better.. At least for me.
Crowner?? Would you be referring to "Crower" perhaps?
You should always mock up the oil pump on the rear cap. It will always pull the back cap out of round, because you are tourqeing 50 pounds on that cap. Witch will usually pull that cap out of round by about .0007
where were the deck plates during the honing????
Great show, i subscribed
so nice i like it
Why did they take the torq plate off to hone ???
just realized that Chris wasn't using a hard hat with that crane
Yes, we have plans to work on Ford engines in the future!
From Venezuela
Very good your video !!
Me gustaria ver un video de un engine chevrolet malibu 1981, 231,v6
Thanks
5:00 that’s one way to internally bore
did you use machinist's straightedge on crank journal to see if it needed line boring?most chev v8 need boring cyls .30 .the size of ridge is good indication of cyl bore wear. i wonder if honing will straighten out bore enough. clarence
Hi, i have a 1973 IKA-Renault Torino TS with a 3.77 Liter, inline 6 engine. I would like to change the sparkplugs for some E3's, but I am located in Argentina. Do you know if it is possible to get them here? Also, if you have any tips on how to upgrade the performance on this car it would be really appreciated. Keep up the videos, love the show.
Thanks
:D
I understand the need for any competent engine builder, to check everything before it goes together. Other than that principle, when one buys a Eagle crank, it's probably costing a grand or more. It should come out of their factory right on the money, so why the need to check every main/rod journal again? Is it just habit, or personal preference? Personally, I would still check every one, because there is the outside chance one or more could be off. Just wondering, thanks.
Would it be more economical to buy and rebuild an old engine like you guys have OR should I just purchase an engine that is ready to go? Thanks like the show.
You guys do alot of work on large american engines... Is there any chance you'll do some videos on smaller import engines as well?
sir I would like to know if gm 4.3 liter heads, casting number 14099064 with the eyebrows will work on an engine with the TBI intake set up.. the 4.3 engines are very confusing from so many changes over the years.. I have a 93 block. I have read that the 14099064 heads were an improved flow head, designed to be used with the CPI fuel injection system. I also read that some of these heads were used in the higher output K series and W series engines with the TBI set up.. I dont want to waste a set of head gaskets if these heads will not work with my TBI intake set up.. thanks
if you bore a cylinder head. how do you know what size head gasket you should use? also i heard that if you want to put extra hp in it then you should deck the surface where the gasket meets the engine. is this all true?
Check out the season finale of Motorz season 5. We did an engine swap.. but not with our small block. We'll do that in the future!
What about blueprinting and full balancing, which is the most important aspect of rebuilds, even single nut and bolt done to OE tuque settings and all parts are balanced and weights are all 100% the same, everything including lifters ? Springs and retainers ?
Absolutely 👍
Am I the only one who thinks he looks and sounds a little like a young Bill Murray??
hey, you line bore first, then align hone to finish size, boring makes the holes round, else your just honing a a hole that isnt round, all measurements are determined by the crank center line!!!!!
Tom, very few engines EVER need line boring if they are being re-manufactured.
That's an old wives tale like Crankshafts warping, or bent.
Over revving and detonation have destroyed more engines than anything else.
I buy several sets of rod, main, sets and hand fit. Same with pistons, I final hone to each piston. A decent scale that will balance to 1/2 gram and some careful grinding on pistons. I use sealed power moly-faced file to fit rings. ARP rod bolts, and use a big block Mark IV Oil pump with the Moroso solid metal drive rod on it.
Two bolt blocks will live with 500hp. 4 bolt main is waste of $$$. A forged crank is only needed if you are boosting 8psi, or over 400hp. 76cc heads, flat top pistons for no more than 8 to one with boost, or it's detonation city with the 350. A 268H dual pattern Cam with good new springs and a good set of new oem valves and seats.
It would be best if you have the shop clean it. You could do it yourself, but any mistakes or missed spots could be very bad for the block when being machined. Some places may clean it for free if machining it.
How much does it usually cost to have a block machined?
Just paid to have an 010 block hot tanked re done for a race car so prep ready costed 1500$
Good video . . . But . . .8:45 trq plare "for final honing", 9:15 still honing, no plate.
My shop teacher had us hold the magna-flux magnet at an angle and not straight across the block. Have things changed since 1960?
i keep hearing things about e3 plugs but when i went online ppl where saying they had problems with them it seems that they might not be as reliable. what your opinion cause all the reviews have made me hesitant with using them.
When you line hone a engine do you have to put oversized bearings or bigger crank anything like that?
Lot of work for a 2 bolt main block.
Why not start with a 4 bolt.
cost.
considering the cost of the internals and entire engine build the upgrade to 4 bolt main is nominal.
Not for a tv show.
+Banjo-Boy-Montreal 4bolt isn't necessary in most applications.
2 bolt blocks are actually stronger than 4 bolt blocks
+Banjo-Boy-Montreal 2 bolt blocks are lighter. We always ran 2 bolt blocks in our street stock.
II have watched several videos on dis assembling a lifter. Everyone does it pretty much the same way, and it works very effectively for everyone. EXCEPT ME ! The piston inside my lifters, will NOT come out. In have tried all the tricks I have seen, like pushing the check ball down to relieve suction. I even tried heating the lifter up a bit, based on the simple premise that air expands when heated. That didn't work either. I thought maybe I just had a stubborn lifter. I tried 3 more. Same thing. I am at a loss. Do I simply need new lifters? Thank You
I need help please with my chevy sb 350, to change the rocker arms to roller rocker arms what should i change too? besides taller valve covers? the camshaft? the push rods and elevators?
Thanks! awesome videos
Pd. Can i just take off the charcoal canister in the intake manifold it interferes with my taller valvecovers. Please help
Im looking for 292 six cylindet --four bolt mail engine to replace my 327 v; 8. To put in my 60, s chevy van
i have a 1988 chevy caprice and i got a 5.7 vortec motor out of a 95 gmc suburban i want to put in the caprice, what can i do to the 5.7 to give it some more power and what would be a good transmission to go with?
oh yeah. Ill just go out to my barn now and machine my block like any other average joe. lol
'ball park" cost to machine and size out cam/crank bearings etc.?????
Will we see a motor swap sometime on Motorz?
wait first the torque plates on then off then on again!!!
i saw that too
have u started to assemble this engine yet???

How much should it cost to get a line hone and to square the block?
Is this process the same for a Ford 302 or will you make a video for that?
@10:07 I think I just had a gearheads equivalent to what is referred to as a "Nerdgasm". :D
Will you ever work on a ford modular motor?
When he is honing the mains, what keeps the hone in the perfectly horizontal plane, if there is no support on the end of the hone, through the last main? Thanks!
Edit--nevermind, found my answer later on in the video. :)
My Fiance's Friend Has a 1990 Honda Prelude 2.1Si (B21) Cylinder #1 in th head has one of the valves blocked with what looks to be Aluminum like it was Casted that way. Is that Normal?
OK... at 8:50 you say you put on the torque plate before honing the cylinders, then next shot, your honing them without the torque plate... ummmm why?
NICE
Is that a 2 bolt main ?
