351 CLEVELAND HYDRAULIC ROLLER REBUILD 

That’s true mate, the mud wasps are a massive pain in summertime here in QLD

Total respect

Thank you 🙌

@@thebrisbanebrothers8332 welcome keep up the good work legends

Works well for holding a motor and box. First we check the threads are good and not damaged and use large washers and make sure the bolts are not bottomed out. If it’s compromised we either get the intake repaired or use a chain with a bolt to either head diagonally with the Carby off.

Feel free to message us on our Instagram page or FB group “the Brisbane brothers” and we can chat

Sleeves are great they are harder then the cast iron and can help make a bit more power because of better ring sealing properties. It’s around $350 for one sleeve installed so it gets expensive compared to the $1000 odd people ask for a real good std bore block around here

They don’t make a 1 piece for a Clevo unfortunately only for the Windsors

@@thebrisbanebrothers8332 Thanks for letting me know 👍

We took it from 8.8:1 compression ratio to 9.4:1. We used a flat top pistons and the block decked .005”. The nicely ported 2v closed chamber heads we picked had a fairly laid back chamber to drop the compression a bit and we only decked the heads minimal at .003”

@@thebrisbanebrothers8332 Awesome, thanks boys. That will be a great street engine.👍

Yeah mate we do a bit of mobile stuff still, welcome to message us on our Facebook group or insta page “the Brisbane brothers” thanks

There is a few parts of the motor like the intake China rails that need a bit more silicone then we would like to use but it beats using cork. The Fel pro timing cover gaskets are poorly designed and need a bit extra too

@@thebrisbanebrothers8332 definitely a good bead at the valley ends, i never use corks or rubbers either. Elsewhere, also with the felpro timing cover gasket, very little is required. Intake ports! A test I have done and i encourage you to find someone with a flow bench to show/prove this to you, is flow a head with intake attached and a gasket with no sealer, then seal it up as you have there with a thick bead protruding, there will be the same protruding on the inside obstructing the port opening a little, let it set up then flow the same port again and check out the flow loss from the protruding silicone! You will be very surprised and wont be using that much silicone again! I get so many engines thru with the oil pickup chocked with silicone that has broken off over time its really annoying and unnecessary. Same for radiator tubes, a good bead of silicone just blocks the top of the tube. Not to mention that protruding beads of ooze just look bad. Just ease up on the silicone, other than that good job and channel guys👍
