If the machine shop you used tells you it's "common" to find dirt in your engine after they're done with it then it's time to find a new machine shop!

@blockbertus 4 года назад

I also find it kinda concerning that there is (still) pitting on the top of the block at least one for the sides. I kinda feel bad for the machine shop but they messed up so many things on this block alone...

A butt-load of time and effort went into making this video. THANK YOU! Glad I'm not the only one who enjoys watching a detailed engine build. I'm not even close to being a builder but I helped a friend of mine once who ran a machine shop and was OCD about cleanliness. We took a block from the hot tank to a power washer, then hit it with a brush, hose, soap bucket and back to the power washer again and again. We went back and forth like that probably 3-4 times before he was satisfied. No BS when I say it was clean enough to eat off of. If he stepped away during assembly to use the head, make a call or eat lunch, he would slip a lawn&leaf bag over it. And don't even think about touching the crank, rods, bearings or cylinder walls without wearing rubber gloves. He believed that oil and sweat from bare skin would lead to corrosion where contact was made. He was a fanatic and apparently a damn good builder.

@mikelaos2077 2 года назад

I was at a guy's house several years ago while he and a couple of his friends were assembling a new bottom end (BBC) for his street race car. During the assembly, a moth flew into the garage. They all basically panicked and frantically covered the engine with plastic until the moth was taken care of. I thought it was slightly overboard...lol

@mikespencer9913 3 года назад

32:52 - "The bigger it is, the smaller the clearance. The smaller it is, the LESS(?) the clearance." ....Eric talks a lot and makes the occasional faux pas. In case it wasn't clear, crushing the little pasta stick makes it thinner and wider. It the gap is larger, it doesn't crush as much and results in a thicker and less-wide 'splat'. Awesome video, Eric. I agree with those who call this an hour of CAR PORN!

I love these kind of work Eric. Great work! As a car/ engine mechanic I would say he did a great job with it so far. The only thing I would do in this matter is that I would flushed it one more time before asembly, but`s that`s me. On other thing I will like to mention is that, you did correct to not wear glows on this job. I have seen it before and it`s not always smart to do. The clarence of the bearings are in specs so not to worry there. I have read some of the comments and I must say, they rely need to go to school or do lot`s of reading. Nothing wrong at all with this job, Eric is very carefully with what he does so no worries there ether. This engine will run smooth as a kitten. Keep it up Eric :)

@Milner62 3 года назад

I dont think it would be that big of a problem. If you take note of the ARP paper it says with their lube. Their lube reduces the force thus youd reach torque easier so they raise the torque value higher so once torqued at the higher setting it would be equal to if you torqued it to spec without the lube on the threads and washer heads.

@metalbill2007 4 года назад

few tips- put the camshaft in before the crank and it's easy to hold and guide in. always clean the block, crank, etc before paint and assembly. run a brush through oil passages. clean out all plastigage.

Honestly, this series is right up there at the top of stuff I watch in my subscription feed. I like that you did the assembly and you showed some of the minor issues from the machine shop. I'm familiar with what a 383 is, I've never seen details or the modifications needed to make it work. I don't think I'll ever have a sbc car again because LS engines are a thing, but if I was going to do one, I think I'd go this way.

@talonvaughn6175 2 года назад

A light car with a built 302/327sbc is a monster. Can be happy in the 7000rpm range for somewhat cheap, 283/302sbc can see 9000 rpm and be happy if it's built correctly, and not be as pricy as one might think.

Slow process to build a personal engine! Every detail that makes you sleep at night is accepted in the hobby! Hobby is what i call it as that is what it is for us perfectionists! In the end of every build its your dollar so spend it as you see fit! I enjoy final assembly of any project and am critisized by everyone around that i am way too anal about the small details! In the end most of my builds from 1000 Hp to 50 Hp pitbikes hold up and last through the punishment of those that critisized me! I get the most thrill knowing that the small details are what make build hold up !!!!!

you should always use a ring expander, it prevents getting any scratches on the piston. Also, I try to spread the gaps away from 6 and 12 o'clock--those areas have the most thrust on the piston to cylinder wall... i keep them closer to the pins.

@NebukedNezzer 4 года назад

if the cylinder bores have not been bored but just honed. check ring end clearance at the BOTTOM of the ring travel in case there is a slight taper in the cylinder they will fit tightest at the bottom. very good point you are making about the importance of getting enough ring end gap.

@ExtraFungus 4 года назад

It was bored over

@NebukedNezzer 4 года назад

@@ExtraFungus always a dumb ass who can not read but has to comment. my statement was for cylinder bores that were no bored. not these. doing the ring end check the correct way is a good habit to develop. you normally push them to the bottom of their travel with a piston. if one does the job that way it will always work correctly in any cylinder. thanks for nothing dumb ass.

@williegillie5712 4 года назад

That’s the way to do it. Check all your tolerances before fully installing bearings rings and piston slap. I like to use motor oil to assemble most of it. Good oil flow is important to break in. It’s good to prime the system with oil also. Makes for a happy engine and less potential for spinning a bearing or damaging any moving part inside the engine. I like to change break in oil at close to 1,000 miles. Gets all the contaminants out. Makes for clean smooth running engine.

The old electronic mags showed a man holding an assembled kit in both hands. " Prowd to say i built it myself "

When you're measuring main bearing clearances, you really should bolt the oil pump on. The torque on the bolt that attaches it to the rear main cap can and will effect the clearance. Probably not a huge deal here since I'm sure the guys at the machine shop already checked it like that, but its something worth knowing.

I believe Comp cams that start with 12 are retrofit hydraulic rollers. Intended to be used in a block that does not have bosses and tapped holes for a cam retainer plate. No thrust button would be needed with a step nosed cam (start with 08- I believe). There are 2 sizes based on spacing for the cam retainer plate in blocks that were factory hydraulic roller.
