@@Mikael5732 If you headed over to their channel, there WAS a video of him and his lady friend talking about how "it's better for the future of the channel due to issues between us" and junk.

Going to the channel now, seems like he's abandoned it and started a new channel of his own. Pretty upsetting, and honestly, the channel was about Richard, not him, so it really puts a bad taste for all of us who enjoyed all the masterful work of those transmission breakdowns. Hopefully he doesn't remove all the old videos, but I'm archiving all of them myself just in case. I don't really understand
Love to see the followup throat cutter to blend things in the way they should be; it really does make a difference. It's a shame not all machine shops place the kind of value on their work as you and your dad do yours! Thanks for your time posting this one. There is the right way, then every other way!
I have a lot of respect for you and your Father, not just because of you guys knowledge and skills. It is because the simple fact that you 2 show all of your work wether a mistake was made or not, good or bad you show it all and how yall fixed said mistake. It takes a humble and honest person to admit to a mistake and show their process on how they fixed it.
Something mesmerizing when I watch the machining. Its very satisfying knowing that every detail is covered. Seeing progress that is made using your hands and your mind is instantly gratifying.
I love it when you guys drop a new "long" vid. 8 min flies by when you're really enjoying what you're watching. Nice work as always, can't wait to see and hear this piece when it's fully installed in the truck again
lets be honest here,,,,,, if we owned or had access to an engineering shop like yours,,,, all of our engines would be 1000 plus HP monsters ,,,, love your work
I saw your vids on YT Shorts, these full length videos are magnetic to me! I build and service guitars for fun to a pro standards and you're like me, take things apart with relish, adjust, trim, set, remanufacture whats beyond repair, its all easy btu people call me a wizard. They'll call you that one day!
It’s somewhat soothing to watch the cutter clear away your blue ink marks while also smoothing whatever it is you are cutting! I could probably watch a video that went into complete detail of machining a head or block from start to finish! One of the things I used to try to do when I was going to have to work on one of my motors in a vehicle was to get a foaming degreaser and cover every square inch of the Bloch and whatever else might have a buildup of grease or oil on the outside so that I wasn’t transferring that crap to every thing I touched or to parts I was removing or replacing! It also served my purpose of being able to see if I had new leaks when stuff was cleaned!!
Loved that you used beehives. PAC1518 are great in my experience, even at .600 lift. No need for a nasty dual or triple spring like everyone on the internet seems to think 👍👍
@@johnbewley5220 1. Good springs don’t break. These aren’t crappy comps. 2. If a primary spring breaks at high engine speed, redundant springs aren’t going to save it. 3. The harmonics of a beehive are much better than a dual/triple. With all that said - if you feel safer with a multi spring you do you man
Youre right. Good springs dont. But he said Pac. And a dual will save it. Seen it more than a few times on LS's dealing with the rash of TSP springs that broke a few years ago. Plus it looks like he added roller rockers.... thats additional mass in the valvetrain for the spring to control.
I was literally thinking "please don't put a stock cam back in it" then you spoke to me. Lol. Valve work looks awesome. That work is severely overlooked. Alot of people just put the heads back on. Crazy
I generally don’t have a clue what you’re talking about while you do this work, but I’m learning a lot and it’s interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing it!
I'm completely addicted to watching your video's modifying cylinder heads has always intrigued me from my days building motorcycle back in the late 60 thru 70 please keep your videos coming i know it is time consuming when you are trying to run and machine shop as well but it very much appreciated Take care stay safe and God bless you 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Just discovered your channel, looking forward to more. Coming from the mass production side, being an engineer for 25 years, where tolerances are bigger and time is money, it is enjoyable to watch 1 item being machined to very tight tolerances and you are not racing a clock.
I wish everyone was willing to film and publish all of the work they perform..... Good or bad you show it all ! I have a lot of respect for someone who is willing to do this. We are all human, sh*t happens and you are not afraid to show that. Plus you guys do awesome work... 👌
You do very high quality precision work. I can tell by watching and your commentaries. In the 70s when I started in this business I learned by watching people. Now I'm an auto Instructor and teach how they can gain knowledge by careful observation.
These videos are great, so many hours to spend so many late nights just watching your videos. Wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow so I could just keep watching for hours
Good to see a fellow engine reconditioner remove and fit valve guides in alloy cylinder heads the correct way to prevent galling or broaching of the cylinder head valve guide bores
Although I’ve been out of the business and sold my tool box, love to watch your videos. Cool to see behind the scenes so to speak things I never got to see happen when I sent out parts to machine shops.
Great video! The 5.3's seem to be pretty dependable. My 2000 suburban had 270,000 and no engine trouble. Should have kept it for a fun mobile, but the Michigan salt took it's toll
I have a 2004 Suburban with a 5.3. It has 371,000 miles on it. Still runs great! I picked up a core to build to replace the original engine before it gives up. My plan is to do it like yours. A very basic but solid rebuild with best quality parts.
You should link up with The Slow Mo Guys, they film stuff with super high speed cameras. You’d be able to see every little detail of what you’re doing.
Text book method to remove guides is to tap a thread in lower third after drilling the upper two thirds as much as possible and using a threaded drift to pull the lower section as you stretch and reduce the diameter of the upper two thirds. The replacement guide needs reaming in exact orientation to the seat so just the setting up can take forever. If its just your time it's worth it for the challenge.
Wow getting to see how these fancy valve seat machines really work is amazing, great video. I live in the same area as PAC Springs. If I could find a machine shop locally who takes attention to detail as your videos show, I would be golden. Colorado is a long way, but for that type of work, oh well it's worth it.
That's cool brother. I really like the slow motion cutting. This is the first time I have seen valve seats cut. Very interesting. Thank you for the content
The cylinder head porters are getting away from a back cut on the exhaust valve. Current thinking is to make flow more difficult for the intake charge on overlap.
Nicely done! What’s with the back cuts on the intake valves? 40 hp? 50 hp? 100 hp? Really, or are you just checking to make sure we are paying attention? All in good fun.
I didn’t realize there was that much work put into a valve job. Maybe it’s that you take the extra steps to do it as correctly as possible. I wish you were closer to San Antonio Texas. I’d use your shop
Good job, that engine should last you several years, as long as you don't hotrod it too much😊 i fully agree with doing the heads anyway. I never could understand people that won't do anything with the heads, after they had to be taken off to do the bottom half of the engine. I know a guy once that pulled the engine on his old ford pickup just to clean it & replace the gaskets, including head gaskets. Didn't touch anything else, tore it apart to put in new gaskets, but didn't do anything else, except adjust valves when he put it back together. Didn't replace the timing chain or anything. Go figure!😆😆
Cheers 🍻 🙌,, every penny spent is worth it! Piece of mind is a valuable commodity... If I had a full Machine shop at my disposal,, I'd do the exact same thing. 😍👍
The shorts are made for the younger people who have the attention spans of goldfish who don’t know what they are looking at. The longer videos are for people who are genuinely interested in the education and actually understand what they are looking at.
Im surprised you didn’t port and polish your heads. If you are throwing a mild cam and springs in there, might as well make it flow better to maximize those gains.
Can't wait to see this build finish. Are you planning to put it on a Dyno? Be kool to see what it makes for power, plus that will aid in tuning it since you changed the cam and more than likely the compression ratio.
If you guys built a motor and Richard and trent built a transmission that would be a combo that would last for ever

Never a waste of money to build it exactly how you want it. And the byproduct is a bunch of fun, educational videos.
Love watching you guys build and redo motor. Thank you.
I’m pretty sure the factory didn’t put as much care in as you did. Great job . Wished you guys lived near me .
I don't know anything about machine work, but you videos are fascinating. Answers a lot of questions I've had about how it's done.

Wow! This is way different than the way I learned to grind valves and heads.
Those stainless Valves in that aluminum head is so pretty 😍
You guys certainly go to a lot of trouble with the heads!…. Excellent
You should link up with The Slow Mo Guys, they film stuff with super high speed cameras. You’d be able to see every little detail of what you’re doing.
Awesome video! Nothing like seeing that beautiful clean aluminum after a wash!
Great machining as always...

I love watching your machines and you guy's do work. Keep up the awesome videos 👍🏼
Once again, another awesome video. Your careful narration and superb camera angles really stand out. Thank you.
Love to see great work I’m not a machinist but watching it is down right awesome!
Love watching this style of machining. Vastly different from the work I do. Your form is much more interesting then mine. Love the content, thanks

Yessir I’m in the same shape with my ly5. Been broken down since November but I don’t have a local machine shop that I trust
As always... very professional in every way.
A valve job is always a good idea as it influences flow throughout the lift curve on stock cam for that extra seat of the pants feel 👍
Make sure you put the manufacturer/parts store sticker that came with the you’re cams on m the back window to unlock the bonus horse power.
I have a 2013 5.3 Silverado with 160K miles. Still running great. Knock on wood.
Nicely done! What’s with the back cuts on the intake valves? 40 hp? 50 hp? 100 hp? Really, or are you just checking to make sure we are paying attention? All in good fun.
Right Had To LOL
improved airflow into the cylinder
@@JohnH20111 Understood, but do you believe the claimed increase in horsepower? I believe the claims were all in good fun.
I just picked up a lc9 for a swap project.
Wish I was closer to you guys. Would totally send it in for all the needed work
Wow the head surfacing was beautiful.
waiting to see the new shop…love your channel…retired manager who has only ever rebuilt two engines…
any engine work done is never going to be ‘overkill’ , because it is just making the factory block even better
Always good time watching your video and seeing new ways of doing things.

Oh and no, you didn't waste your money. A little time and money for peace of mind is priceless IMO
It’s looking like you will have a great dearly driver soon!!
I enjoy yalls content Also, I really like how clean you guys keep your shop and the quality of y’all’s work
Really enjoying these videos. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see it finished
Love what you guys do. I think it would be cool to see some motorcycle or ATV heads done🙏
Just a heads up in case it has been suggested yet, mineral spirits or varsol are the best “coolant” for cutting aluminum in my experience.
Nice, work love the thoroughness. Yall hiring 😆. Keep up the good work, will we get to hear the motor once its installed.
I've always wanted to see someone build a overkill engine for a daily
Nice build process!
Nice work, a beautiful set of heads. I’m certain you’ll get at least 75 hp.
Very in-depth, love the video.
Love watching your videos. I also would love to send my 5.3 and 6.0 ls out to you guys to do the work on.
Great solid work man. I don't care if it's just for a daily pickup. She's gonna be strong and treat you well.
I think the work that you guys do is amazing. 👍
Nice job, the heads are looking good.
Really excited on this rebuild.
I want you guys to build my motor, amazing work.
Excellent job lads..Great Video s well filmed 🎥 n good narration..I'm 👍 in..
Can you and your dad make a video on personal cars/projects? It would be cool as heck to see
Good job, that engine should last you several years, as long as you don't hotrod it too much😊 i fully agree with doing the heads anyway. I never could understand people that won't do anything with the heads, after they had to be taken off to do the bottom half of the engine.

What cam did you choose for it ? Love everything you and your dad do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I was thinking the same. What cam did you choose? Your thoughts on cam specs and/or manufacturer?
Back in the early 80's I built a 327 for an 80 Camaro. I put a 260 duration cam in it and it was the strongest engine I ever had in the car.
Good video. Excellent narration.
Thanks for sharing 👍
absolutely perfect job!
Looks great.
I’d love to be able to do what y’all do down here in the Austin area.

Job well done!
I need to say that motor is better than new now
This is what im here for! Hell to the yeah!
Awesome work! Just wondering if you ran a AFM DOD module delete that plugs into the OBD2 port prior to the rebuild?
Much prefer these longer videos to the shorts. When I say much perfer I mean like 10 out of 10 vs 9 out 10
I do my best to put out a healthy mix of both styles 😁. The shorts keep you thinking about me in between the longs 🤣
The shorts are made for the younger people who have the attention spans of goldfish who don’t know what they are looking at.

@@Dan-gj1hz wow yeah spot on
Awsome content , sure love the serdi machine
Looked like a good job from the video...!
As a machinist I can vouch for this. Use WD-40 on aluminum as coolant. Your surface finish’s will thank you.
Keep them coming
I just noticed more of your humor the back cut for 50+ horsepower! Maybe 10 total
I need to send you some 243s for that 100HP bump from the valve job this winter. LOL.
