Based out of Langley BC, Canada, I am showing off some of my machine shop projects and engine building. I have put together a small machine shop in my garage and work in a large manufacturing machine shop. Between the two and my mechanical and automotive interests, I have many oppertunities to film and upload interesting content based on these topics.
Nice job Jay. I did one on a Small Block 400 last year. Not something you have to do all the time. Nice to be able to do it when you need too. Have a good day.👍
I would trust the jig. You don't know the history of the engine, it may have been decked by a shop badly in the past, and even if it wasn't not everything that left the factory was 100%
@@joey66436 I absolutely trust my fixture. I have inspected it with multiple machines to ensure it is true. I am the first one to manipulate this block. The fact is was out roughly 0.010" over that distance from the centerline means very little to the production blocks. They vary greatly and the older they get, the more out to lunch they become. Some of the Chevy engines from the 60's and early 70's are out so far, you wonder how the intake gaskets even sealed. By late 70's, the blocks start to measure much better and by late 90's they are usually pretty damn close. But still not as good as they could be and since I need to run a dial accross the decks anyways for my setups, might aswell try to pin it ss close as I can
Lol fun fact, I said oh my gosh a split second before you when that piece dropped lol. Great minds think alike 😂. And thank you for the information BTW! I'm researching this for a stockish/mild built 400. Not a fan of the 1.72" intake valves stock, planning on different heads.
What kind of concentricity do you get with the master HS? I have an old model 019 and im gonna get the ball drive 3d type tooling even though i know it wont do a good job. I do have an old sioux valve grinder complete with the cabinet and stone setup for touching up the seats. The 019 has the air locks and they are very problematic when trying to center up. What locks the rollover fixture to the bed on the master HS?
I love machining sometimes I can run three machines at at one time I used to have a lot of fun machining very busy day trying to keep things going get things going and get things finished. Got to pay the bills.😊
Woah, . . where did this channel come from? _FORD Stuff !!!_ . . . well then I need to subscribe so I can make sure you know what you're doing and guide you along when you don't. Seriously though, new viewer here , subbed , and greetings from the Great State of Alaska.
Move to the lowest point possible viewed by human eye if you do that and have a .0001 indicator you’re gonna be within the ten millionths place .0000X pretty sure it’s not that serious.
I learned on a propane rod heater and then the next shop I worked at had one of these Sunnen induction heaters. When it was time for me to buy my own, I had favored the induction oven and that's what I set out for. Been a good tool to me so far. I bought it in 2012 I believe.
I put an 215 Rover in an Opel Commodore coupe' 1972. When i have passed the Swedish car inspection i switched the 2 SU carburettors for an Weber 40/40 from 3 litre Ford engine. It worked very well, better mileage and better performance. Later i put in an Caddy 500.. different story.
It's a stainless steel fabrication and there is two per assembly(one each end)They are the endcovers and bearing housings to a low preesure pulp feeder.
Thanks Ed. It elimiates two things I always disliked during rod reconditioning. First was inconsistent housing diameters after grinding split lines and the occasional rod you realized you didn't grind enough off and have to take apart and grind more. Now after a grind the whole set is quite consistent diameters.
