Austin, Jon, and Garrett. If you don’t know the definition of “irony,” you won’t understand our channel name.
We’re broke millennials, but we love cars, therefore that’s why we’re broke. I’m sure you’ve been there.
We have been friends for over a decade and we know it shows. Only people who have been friends as long as we have could hate each other so deeply and not show it.
Follow our adventures in the world of cars, racing, deep psychological examinations, lobotomies, tax evasion, bad RU-vid car advice, and hopefully you’ll stay for the humorous entertainment that comes with that.
Subscribe so we can hopefully own houses and pay off our student debts someday.
Really though, if you’re reading this, we hope you enjoy the channel. You guys are why we make fools of ourselves on the internet and we thank you.
That's good news and I am hearing a very happy and done well engine. Going to be a very stout runner by the sounds of it. How are you all doing? Hopefully everything is going well I need to get caught up.
What people don't realize about the poly engines, is that while they are not great for high rpm horsepower or racing, when it comes to performance and torque under 5000 rpm, say for a reliable, fuel efficient mil that provides great throttle response for every day driving, it is hard to beat, and worth the money.
HAHAHA alright! You are the man! Was skeptical that the automatic door lock thing would work on my CVPI - lo and behold it did! Too Cool! Thanks, brother!
like your style and I actually made it through what can be considered a very long YT video to see how you set the dwell. Unfortunately, in the end you didn't actually show how you set the dwell angle. You just showed the meter display incorrectly before.. cut.. and then after.. "fixed!" What did you do the do the points when you were off screen? I have never set the dwell (why I am watching this video) so I have no clue what you changed on the points that made it lower the angle.. also, where did you put the piece of card stock? Again, I dig your video style but it's a swing a miss for this video with me.
You put the card stock between the points, and this distributor's dwell angle is adjusted by an offset screw. Most are adjusted by a hold down and just sliding the point base around until the reading is correct. The way this one is adjusted is not typical for most distributors.
It does have a cam, literally zero tuning has been done and the engine is idling high. It'll sound much better once its in the car and everything is set right.
Just a couple of questions? Did you check the end gap on the piston rings and are you going to prime the engine before starting it? Hypereutectic pistons use more end gap than other pistons and priming it will make for a smoother break in.
You danged skippy I watched it all the way to the end, not all at once though I had to stop and go buy groceries, besides you guys are as fun and entertaining as a bunch of monkeys trying to fuck the same football at the same time🤣 Congratulations for getting out of [ get on the interstate to go nowhere for a few hours ] aka crashville, that alone will add 25 years to your life. Man that thang is BEAUTIFUL, kinda makes me a little jealous. You really should put an 800 mechanical double pumper Holly bucket on top of it, I know for a fact it can handle 2 of them, that is if you can find 1, but with gas prices these days you would need 2 more full time jobs just to cover the fuel cost😁 tires would be extra too. Looking forward to the next installment of DMGs, will she blo or will she go 😁😁😁 BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. GOOD Job guys and camera person.
compression comes out to 7.94:1 assuming 115cc chambers (they are probably bigger), .030 deck clearance ( it's probably more with speed pro hyper pistons), and .039 head gasket. real life closer to 7.5:1. It would run without head bolts, lol. The dipstick tube takes an o-ring. the intake interference issue is common. I had to grind on an edelbrock performer going on 781s with the same issue several years ago. You gonna share those cam specs?
I cc some virgin 781 heads and they were 120cc. I used forged speed pro pistons I think and it came out to 8.9:1. I just put in a small melling cam and it pulled okay from idle to 5000rpm.
Did you check the length of the oil pump bolt? To long puts pressure or damage rear main bearing and kills an engine. Put silicone around the dipstick when installing final time and bolt accordingly. Great video.
