Thanks for the heads up fella!! Rebuilding my Chrysler 287ci dodge 4.7 and currently at this stage myself... Was using wd40 but gas is cheaper lol...look forward to watching any future videos!!
I love using gas, its cheap and works so good. I can't stand the haters tho, someone is always freaking out about how dangerous it is, blah blah blah lol
I think you mean don’t use a steel wire brush on aluminum blocks as this will cause rust on the block. Stainless steel or brass wire brushes work great!
Do you need any kind of special high temp primer or paint? I've used regular spray paint and primer on valve covers and never had an issue with flaking but I would think the block gets hotter because the rotations assembly is there
Turned out great. Someone painted mine in red along with everything else under the hood, looks terrible IMO. I plan to strip it down and paint it black....
I found your channel via your appearance on your brother's channel. Which of you is older? Oh, and nice work on the cleanup, but could you speak a bit to how you a) keep working with gasoline as a cleaner safely in a contained space/garage, and b) how you capture and dispose of it to keep trash legal and tippers from combusting with oily rags? Thanks.
Camas oh that sweet! I am older. A) No cleaning chemicals should really ever be used inside an enclosed space unless dictated by the warning label as safe...that always been my rule of thumb, obviously if your using gasoline there is no label so common sense has to kick in that it too is a vaporous chemical that is flammable. B) I used a sheet of cardboard that i caught all of the droppings of grease and gasoline from hitting my lawn. I have some spots of dead grass but most hit the cardboard which was great because I rolled it up and put it on my outdoor fireplace 😂. Just burn that stuff like gasoline is refined for.
@@thestateofreal2533 Thanks for the suggestions and reply. You boys are so much alike but still different. I'm sure your parents are proud of doing a good job. Can you tell I used to teach? LOL
Camas haha well people always thought we were twins growing up. We are 18 months apart so probably as close you can be to being twins. A teacher?! Oh well you will love this one...both Steve and I and the rest of the family were home schooled from kindergarten to the completion of 12th grade 💪🏻
Didn’t have any issues. Just scrubbed it down with water as it is water soluble and used acetone on as many of the flat surfaces as I could for paint prep.
I have wondered before if you could use oven cleaner as part of the cleaning process... guess that answers my question! Looks great!
Turned out nice bro ! Great vid
Thanks man!
Good and outstanding job
I want to see how it holds up after being ran before I do this

Lol oh how this comment didn't age well. Gotta take out a small loan to fuel up these days.
Do not use the wire brush on aluminum blocks, will leave scratches everywhere

Dawn powerwash 👌

I used high temp primer and paint just to be safe
@@thestateofreal2533 that's what I'll get then. Have you ran it yet? Does it run hotter at all from the paint holding heat in?
Any updates? How is that primer holding up on the motor? Did you cure it at all before painting it?
Everything looks brand new but to be honest the engine hasn’t been assembled yet as I punched out the tubes bigger!
@@thestateofreal2533 dude you cute the motor before adding the top coat or just let the primer air dry?

Thanks brother! Oh geez. Maybe he was a fireman lol
Brake cleaner Takes out quick

@@thestateofreal2533 The fact that you both are open about your mistakes speaks volumes to the character of your family.
Do not let your oven cleaner dry on your engine or parts. It is hellacious to get off once dried, however, muriatic acid will remove it.
