They used to make a split shim that you could put behind the bearing very similar to a scraper oil ring. Haven’t seen one in years but they were very popular on the Volkswagen factory rebuilds
Cool stuff Darrin. I think I've heard of people using a piston ring for that purpose. I'm not sure if it would allow cutting much deeper; it looks like the dowel pin hole would be really close beyond 2nd undersize. Maybe good if oversize flange bearings aren't available? Thanks for watching, it's super cool to have you with us!
That scratching sound when you’re cutting! Look up the term “grima” that comes from Spanish. There is no substitute in any other language. Like fingernails on a blackboard😩. Great video; we are learning a lot as you go. Thank you!
grima: noun - "creeps, disgust, aversion" Yup, that sums it up nicely. Just sounds like tool bit chatter to me, which results in disgust and aversion! I'm glad you are enjoying the series, this is a fun one to share. Thanks for watching!
well done Brent, that learning block came in handy, to learn and to change the cutters before you do the real thing. at least you are trying to make a low budget engine with the parts you have. you are doing a great job.
Thanks '55, that's the idea- learn what I can on this one and if mistakes or adjustments must be made, now is the time. I appreciate your support, thanks for being a part of the project!
A long time ago I was talking to a VW repair guy and he was saying how they had a case that was badly warped and not lining up right and most likely gapping (details fuzzy, just know the case was in super bad shape), so they baked it in a regular household oven at xxx degrees overnight (once again, details fuzzy, don't remember if case halves were bolted together or separate). Evenly heating the case for a long amount of time allowed the stresses and warpage to relax back to its normal shape and they were able to line bore it and rebuild it then. I don't know if that would have helped on ol' wheezy here or not.
I've heard this one before and would like to try it (with lowered expectations of course). Admittedly, this case would have been a good candidate but I'm not sure about the cam bores; they may need boring too afterwards and I have only seen a method for boring the #2 cam bore. Will be fun to try someday on a low value build.
With the Bore of your tool holder being Square to the Face ----- If you have a flat surface to lay the face of your toolholder down with the cutting edge of your tool up ------ run your dial indicator at the tip of the cutting edge and read measurement --- then slide the toolholder down to the inside edge of your cutting tool ---- that will tell you the taper in your bit's cutting edge ------ then you can set up say a Dremel grinder to the Plate and slide toolholder under it ---- will need to make jig for making the fine adjustment ------ something also off the lathe compound for doing the adjustment of grinding the tool bit ------ If you continue this ----- keep your eye open for a small TOOL GRINDER ---- has a magnetic chuck --- put tool holder with bit in it ---- engage the magnetic chuck ---- then you have it ---------------- Nothing wrong with just making ---- minimal cuts on each bore for clean up ------- SINCE ----- you keep all bearings --- you can mix and match ---------------- Thanks for the video ----Have a Good One --- Rodney
Thanks for the ideas Rodney, you have me thinking about ways to check the bit using the cross slide on the lathe. Would love to have a tool grinder, they pop up on occasion but have limited funds and a lot on the wish list. Big bandsaw, surface grinder, arbor press, etc... Thanks for the support!
Thanks Annie, it's a little tedious at times but kind of a dream project. Thanks for "getting it" and all the support. Goes without saying but you're doing amazing work on Helen.
Wow, thanks @SkaterStimm! That project is a ways off, but it will primarily be a welding project. It's super rusty. I have the rockers but will have to figure something out for the cargo floor, bed, and some of those supports. I'm good on running gear, window frame, rear door glass, and actually have the rear seat. Thanks again Stimm!
@@HapticGarage I found a cheap resource for rear glass, and I have lots of spare metal if you need it. I had to replace my rear window, floors, nose, roof. I have done a ton of welding.

Nothing to loose and tons to gain knowledge wise great fun ! Loving it ! Thank you !
You nailed it Neal, that's what it's all about. Thanks for being a part of the fun!
I'll stay with this engine,😂 really love projects like this. I'll give it a million miles
Thanks @beardedg500, I really enjoy these engine projects too, even the ones that are a little rough around the edges. Good times!
Love watching from Cornwall in England.
Thanks Simon, it's great having you with us!
Great to see the learning process in process.
Thanks Greg!

This series has been fascinating. Thanks for sharing the journey!
Thanks @FeveredMind, these engines are indeed fascinating. I'm happy to share the exploration with you!
Man I really love your videos, videos like this I saw al the vandemic videos long ago
Thanks @beardedg500, glad to have you with us!
Hi Brent Amazing work you are good man.greetings.Hubertus
Thanks Hubertus, it's fun stuff. Thanks for always being so supportive!
Great video and love the title of this video 😎
Thanks Matthew, kinda made me smile too. I think we have a new tagline.

Very inspiring!! Keep em coming!! ✌
Thanks John, more on the way!
Love it! Gonna be working on a "sweep the floor engine" down the road that i've been procrastinating on. Glad I found your channel!

Nice information 👍
Thanks @vintage76!
I sure like this avenue of learning. I am enjoying the process and can't wait to see what comes next! Appreciate all your efforts here Brent!

Keep the shavings i hear they make great fire starters. Another great video
Thanks Troy, yeah magnesium burns bright & and hot!
Man you got a lotta patients
Thanks holmes, it takes a little of that but the doing and sharing is really rewarding
I've taken a few cases apart that were different size mains. Gex engines.
And there it is - GEX! I like to think I would hesitate to do this in an engine meant to go the distance. Thanks for watching Randy!
ooh I have a 68 double cab, let me know if you need parts.
