If it wasn't for RUclips this kind of video just wouldn't be out there, thank you for taking the time to make it.
Agg man I'm glad someone posted this. The magnum one of the most overlooked motors out there
Excellent editing, I really like your respect for the viewers' time.
Excellent video, I'm about to pull engine from my Grand Cherokee and was a little bit hesitant, now thanks to your video, I'm looking forward to the job! Big thumbs up from a 318 magnum owner from Czech Republic...
Práve dokončujem moj 318 z Jeepu ZG..... :)

Considering this process and found you 1st in a google search. Great job here. All the basics! Been a lifetime since I did a rebuild!
Thank you sir, you have one of the only videos that is in depth about this generation of the 360/318 and this makes me feel more comfortable with taking on my 318 rebuild with a idea of what to expect and how to do it.
You did a fantastic job. Everyone's a critic on here.
is a good job,,,for him only,,a lot of people still guessing,,,,
What's the best Dodge pick up truck for driving in the Colorado mountains
I'm building a 5.9 Magnum right now for a classic Mopar. This video is pretty thorough! Hope you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed watching it! Thanks man! =]
makes me feel better about building my 408 stroker myself
Brilliant work mate, this was spot on. Just enough talk, just enough footage. It came together fantastic and the way you talk makes the listener tune in and focus. I had my eyes and ears glued to the screen.
Awesome shots and details! I'm rebuilding my 5.2 right now and this helped make things MUCH more clear. Thanks!
Dude!! awesome video. Inspirational. great information thanks for putting in all the work filming and posting.
Thank you so much for posting this and going through an explanation for each step of the process. It’s much appreciated!
You make look so easy - can tell that you have been doing this type of work for a while. Thank you for sharing.
SUPERB VIDEO!!! I need to rebuild the engine in my own ram and this is about the most complete video I have seen. You should be the new host of engine power on spike...
What a great video!!! Thank you for making it and taking the time to do such a thorough job!
holy hd. holy definition, thank you for a video with clarity
I loved the video, I have a v6 3.9l I want to rebuild but there's nothing I can find until this, it was very informative and easy to understand, and I appreciate the work into the video as well as your engine
I have the same engine and am considering rebuilding it. this is a very solid helpful and informational video. very good work
Very informative
Truly Impressive work, great attention to detail, love your attention to lube and gaps
I just picked up a 98 ram 1500 ss/t 360 magnum, and this is going to help my restore alot, thanks for this video video
Outstanding!! Love the 360
Ditto... thank you for making this video. Now i will be able to rebuild my 360 with confidence.
Wow man it’s truly amazing that you can do this job and make it look so easy I have learned a lot and hope to be able to do this job soon enough
Watching this video made my job alot easier for me instead of going through the internet to find all the torque specs for this 360 engine I have learned a lot from this how you did this and that is so cool how you had it done that was awesome 👍
This is going to help a lot man, doing my first engine build on my 360 wish me luck!!!
Wow! You made me feel like I did all that work flawlessly. Thanks. I'm exhausted.
Awesome video. Great work. Most videos like this are either too short with not enough content or they drag on and on. Perfect.
I learned a couple things, here today. Thanks for that. It's not everyday that I learn something I can use.
I admire your skill and confidence, great job.
you give a guy confidence, thanks so much!
That was a great video very detailed and to the point. I just bought a 99 dodge ram 5.9l would love to rebuild the engine
Keep making these videos man, probably best one I've seen on RUclips
No
I have a 1993 318 Magnum with 192,000 on it running fantastically.. This video is invaluable in seeing all the parts, their spacial shapes and how they work together. I know what to expect replacing a rear main seal.
I think most common issue on this motor is the plenum pan leak and the valve springs get a lot of slack over time.
This video is going to be a great reference when I do my cam.
Good video, only rebuilt an early LA engine years ago, with the help of my dad and brother. They are both licenced mechanics. In the late 80's had a speed shop build my 340, for my 57 D100. Had numerous issues with the rebuild from the speed shop. Intake valve stuck open. Bent push rod, collapsed lifter. Constant oil leak from the oil filter. Small dent in the filter mounting plate. Had no bottom end torque, blamed the purple shaft cam. But it was installed 5 degrees off. Now days, found a good machine shop, but do the assembly myself, with the help from my brother.
You are exactly right the purple shaft from MOPAR require a 5° offset key or it will be just like you say NO bottom end.
Thanks for the great video. My 85 360 is in the machine shop and should be finished in about a week. I'll begin assembling as soon as I get it. Its going in my 85 ram charger which has a 318.
Amazing job man! 👍🏽
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Great video! I love learning all the little details. Thanks!
great vid...simple step by step....great way to learn for a backyard mechanic
Good video. You explained what you were doing very well in a short way that was easy to understand. Dont listen to some of these idiots. Keep up the good work.
Nice video. You do good work and give an honest explanation of what you are doing. Well done, sir. 😁
Really informative, I have a 98 Dodge ram. Thank you.
Fantastic video! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Bad ass and very helpful video I'm gonna rebluid one for my truck now I can use this video to guide me thru thx brotha
Thanks for this video! I rebuilt a LA 360 and dropped it in my 71 Duster!!
I love this I have the 318 Mopar on the bench also the 5.9 both R Mopars your great keep the videos coming I am enjoying them thank you very much
great!
pleasure to watch, nice job!
Great video. Lots a great info for when I do my 318! Thanks!
great video. totally worth the watch.
Awesome video! I got a '97 5.2 318, and I've been looking for stuff on how to do a rebuild. Will definitely be referencing this.
Dude you deserve wayyy more subs! just bought a 73 Dart Swinger and your videos are going to make my v8 swap so easy. Thanks for the hard work man, keep it up!
+Sage N Rage thx for the support :)
Dart swinger for life \m/ I just snagged a '72 with an LA 360 in it, already ordered the striker kit for it.
Best engine imo to daily drive reliably with great street strip power.
I concur I've got a 71 Swinger with a 360 in it. Still runs strong, saving up to do a rebuild the right way and get her up in the 400+ HP range. No idea where it's at now, don't want to dyno something that's going to get whacked but I'm guessing around 300. These motors are amazing and I can't wait to tear into mine and get going.
@@MrOffAndOnOfficial, what was the $$cost for this engine rebuild?
I'm a huge fan of the technical terms used in this video, such as "Squiggly ones"
This is awesome, Im about to an engine swap on my Ram 1500, and this is giving me motivation. just going to open the block and replace some parts first and then give it a go
When you install those rubber ream mail seals, you're supposed to rotate the seal so that 3/8" or so is up on one side and down on the other side. That way the two halves of the seal (the first place pressurized oil will leak through) aren't at the parting line of the main cap.
mcm95403 thats a good tip
No you do not have to do that from factory they line them straight up
Brandon Prettyman yeah but doing what he says leaves less chance of leaking so it is highly recommended
@@brandonprettyman269they leak pretty commonly on stock setups, aftermarket kits may even suggest this tip to install instead as it is mainly used now for newer cars, for a reason
Great video, very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks from OZ
probably best one I've seen
Hey man loved watching your video very inspirational... my dakota rt needs a nice rebuild like you did there. Keep on man !
simple but brilliant video. Thanks
Very nice. I like your accurate working style.
AWESOME build, I built mine back in 1985.....fyi...I NEVER GROUND DOWN THE SEALING...LOL, to date its still running strong in my challenger....which is now EFI...MOPAR 4 EVER.
your videos are great! keep up the good work!
Respectable work. Hope it gives good service for a long time.
Excellent vid thanks for posting!!
Very well done. Thank you. Enjoy the new enging
i really enjoyed the video thank you so much for you taking you time to make the video i am abut to do the exact same thing to my 360v8 5.9 l truck and was a little nervous but it doesn't seem to hard as long as i follow the rues thanks for the confidence !!!
Nice video - right to the point. The only thing I would do different is pre-oil the engine with a home made oil pump adapter (who knows, you can probably buy a tool for this, but I made my own years ago). Before putting in the distributor cam gear, (the oil pump is driven by a hex shaped key on the shaft), I use a longer piece of rod that has the right size hex key welded to it and put it in a drill to freely operate the oil pump and ensure oil is flowing through all the rockers, etc. before firing up the engine.
I learned a lot from videos like this one. Great job. For more in-depth details buy a book. Great job though!
What an awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
Good job making this video and thank you.
**** !!!! When installing timing cover...ONLY TIGHTEN BOLTS FINGER TIGHT!!!... THEN install harmonic balancer which kinda aligns cover.... and AFTER that torque down timing cover bolts...
This makes sure the rotary shaft seal rides correctly on the crank snout...not tilted, producing an oil leak....

Great job and excellent video!
Excellent video. You make it look simple. Well explained commentary. I hope you made some coin on this video. New subscriber.
mcm95403 comments are on the money. I don't think he is trying to tear MrOffAndOn down, he is just adding good tips and best practices to help people. He isn't making degrading comments or being mean at all. Looking thru the comments and replies, I see a lot of comments by people that think that MrOffAndOn's video is so awesome, that no one should be allowed to give any sort of additional or critical comment. Don't want to own any engine that those people might put together.
your awesome man! I learned alot! thank you!
Im about to do the same today! However, I soaked my lifters in oil for 24 hours before putting them in.
im not building a dodge, but this was quite a helpful video, Thanks.
Awesome video man thank you !
Wow man I’m over here worried about taking my cylinder head off haha. Make it look easy good job.
Tyvm for the video and thank you for your service.
I wish your where my neighbor, I need to do that yo my dakota ,great video thxs
Good job you made it look easy 👍✌😃
I love how you explain that I did get confused
That Cam shaft is a lot easier to put in and a lot les chance of damaging the cam bearings if you will install it before the crankshaft and pistons are installed that way u can reach down inside the block and guide the cam shaft a lot more accurately minimizing chance of gouging the cam bearings with the lobes on the cam shaft
Excellent video
That was a good build. I was glad to see red valve covers. Dodge use to paint the entire engine red way back in the day. I would have liked to see the truck, and also would have liked to see you drive it a bit.
I’ve grown up around engines but I’ve never been able to fully rebuild one. I know quite a bit for being only 18, but the specifics and the little things of actually assembling an engine from the block up, I was unclear about. This video helped clear a lot of things up so thank you!
Its still going to be awhile but I’m planning on building a 360 magnum destroyed with a welded and reground 318 crank (makes a 340) and I’m going to have the magnum heads redrilled to run a Weiand tunnel ram with either dual 450 holleys, or a dual 4 EFI setup. It’s all going in my daily driven 71 Dodge D100 short bed, with a built A833 with overdrive, 3.55 suregrip, no power steering.
Thanks again for the video, it’s helped a TON.

Damn, amazing attention to detail man. Great cautionary tricks along the whole way. You should charge good money for your services.
excellent video, wish this was up when i did the rebuild on my 5.9, what was the gap measurement on the feeler gauge for the piston rings?
man I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.9. I've never rebuilt a motor before, but I'll rewatch this video. I wish I could rebuilt a complete motor oneday
That 360 can really scream with $2500 in parts!
Good solid assembly procedure.The two things that I would have done differently would be careful when lubing fasteners and torquing,,I believe wet and dry torque values are different. Second,,,and this is only my opinion, I would be more cautious with F.O.D. ( foreign object damage) , from dirty rags or dirty hands, but overall,,,good procedure,, especially with using the Piston ring expansion tool,,,Mopar or no car!.
Wow excellent video
I pl;an on just putting a new top end on my existing 318 but this video still helped
Excellent! Thank You.
Good Work, ENJOY. We Are So Happy THAMKYOU!!!!!!!!
Amazing video bro
This is amazing
My only criticisms are the use of the rtv on the timing cover and water pump. The gasket is enough though not much of a problem, just will clean up easier when the parts need servicing. Then I recommend a 3 stage torque sequence for the reads, crank, and rod bolts. like the head i would have started with 25ft ib, then 75ft ib, then the final. this is just so the bolts and everything are even. Otherwise. Great video. I liked and subbed
It's hard to believe that this only took you 22 minutes! You could be the most profitable mechanic in the world!
1 3 some parts time looped but he is quick
Good job Sir ! I have some tips , I reman a lot of A and B mopar engine at a chrysler dealer over 36 years , good advise is to let sit the lifters in a container fill with engine oil for a few times , and you need to check and replace the intake manifold baffle gasket. This gasket many times , have being suck into the plenum , causing oil consumption .
