[4k] GSX Dry Assembly Begins 

The Dry assembly is the process where you verify your oil clearance and all the parts specifications of your engine's rotating assembly. It involves both precision and non-precision tools. The dry assembly is complete once all of the specifications have been verified to be correct. It is a sanity check. It's what gives you the peace of mind the first time you fire up your engine that the numbers you measured also match how the parts fit once they're installed.
Because this engine block has experienced significant changes from its factory specifications, received 2 coatings for both aesthetics as well as performance reasons... AND will be using a different crankshaft than it was originally built with... AND the addition of a bearing girdle to add the strength necessary to the bottom end for my power goals with this build... I have to give extra scrutiny to the dry assembly process. The engine will not be assembled until I achieve the specifications I need.
If you pay someone to assemble your engine, you don't see or hear about all the effort required to deliver a finished product. The obstacles that arise are someone else's problems to fix. If you want an honest video about this, none of your results will work properly the first time. Sometimes not even on the second, third, fourth times, etc... Nobody in TV production or
If you choose to assemble your own engine, ALL these challenges become yours. Hopefully my efforts to do this here, a very different build than other projects you've watched here, will help anyone accepting this challenge understand problems they might encounter. I'd want them to appreciate how the dry assembly process can save not only their investment of time and money on their project, but their sleep schedule and peace of mind. When you know for a fact that your parts fit and that your clearances are correct, then you can turn that key for the first time with confidence. If there's a problem, then you know what the problem is, and what it isn't.
In this video we play with the before and after results with a torque plate. We explore the use of rod bolt stretch gauges. We open up the discussion about casting stress loads and how they can affect the outcome of your build. We also even discuss the affect that repetition, fatigue and haste can play on the person assembling it. How the intended use of the engine can also affect your specifications.
A stock build should be by the book, and by "book", I mean service manual. Not my videos. Follow those specifications and procedures. If it's a performance build, all those values change. You can follow performance specifications with stock parts and achieve better durability under power output levels beyond the factory's designed limits (and I proved it with a different project), but it will ultimately shorten the lifespan of that engine.
So, if your pistons or crankshaft don't fit inside the block, watch this: • [4K] GSX Block Prep 8 ...
It's the companion video and complete dry assembly video where I do it by the book. Literally.
Alternatively for the crankshaft, if it's only off by a couple of tenths or you suspect a defect, you can watch this: • Crankshaft Refurbishing
If your bearings don't fit, or you want to see the full dry assembly process, watch this: • Hyundai Assembly 1 - B...

If you want to learn how to keep plastigauge from sticking to journals, you're just going to have to subscribe to High Performance Academy and just watch their livestreams. They delete them, but they re-run them. Epic advice, demonstrations and info. Everyone who cares about building their own performance engines should already be subscribed to them. You're not taking training courses on my channel, this is just an automotive diary with half-decent presentation. If you want to run with the pros, you'll need to follow the advice of the pros.
