The Jeep is getting closer and closer to running again. This week Davin makes a few changes off of the back of our compression ratio discussion and proceeds to get everything cleaned up and ready for assembly. These types of weeks don't always feel like the most progress, but they are important to getting the project done right. So, stay tuned because this bad boy is going to be on the road again sooner than we can imagine.

In a future series, would you and the engine shop mind explaining more in depth about the machining. We see a lot about mass production with CNC, but little about what it takes to set up to deck a block 90° to the bore, or line bore, or regrind a crank to make a stroker.

@dillionrainwater6910 2 года назад

They didn’t grind the crankshaft to make it a stroker. That’s one of the amazing things with these in-line Jeep engine’s. You take the old crank from a 4.2 and it’s a stock part that is probably one of the most expensive parts in the stroker ‘’kit’’. For decking the block it all depends on what machine they have for a surfaces. I’m assuming they have something with a cutting blade and got away from a grinding stone. Also what the machine has for a mounting system. The old one my dad has is just a flat surface that you bolt stuff down to. For cylinder heads he has a “fence” that has a cam bolt in it. But for the blocks we just shimmed it till it close as possible to straight, then cut. We didn’t do a lot blocks. Mostly we did Diesel engines. And most of those used liners, which would change a lot of things.

You're a smart man Davin. In my opinion Math is everything. You know your stuff. You applied it to the job absolutely correctly. It was good that you mentioned the whole radius and diameter thing....gotta keep'm straight. Great episode. You could have titled this one "It's all in the numbers"

@mtnman1984 2 года назад

@craigm.9070 2 года назад

Davin, this was a really great episode! Your main cap trick was shown to me by an old machinist in the late 70's (learned his craft in the US Navy) we all used when I was growing up. All of us thought it was sacrilege to do such a thing...then he explained that not all bearings are the same. He used a little Dykem on the cap flats and lightly touched them up as you did - Voila!

@MoparDan 2 года назад

Davin, on a related subject I recently learned the correct formula for figuring engine displacement which is: Displacement = π/4 × b2 × s × c. Where b is equal to the bore size squared, s is equal to the stroke length, and c is the number of cylinders. When I tried this formula to figure the displacement of my Chrysler Pentastar engine it did come out correct unlike my earlier wrong math.

@brarautorepairs 2 года назад

Interestingly you've used the diameter of the bore and divided pie by 4. I've always used the radius squared times pie times the stroke.

Here’s another formula for engine displacement that’s a little simpler. Diameter squared x .7854 x stroke length x number of cylinders. .7854 is a constant that can be used for any size bore.

@skylinefever 2 года назад

Having an align bore or an align hone would be a good lesson to the viewers. It is interesting every time one of these projects has something go wrong, and you show another method of how it is corrected. Sometimes when you order a reground crank from an auto parts store, it comes with bearings that match the undersize. However, who knows what manufacturer and quality of bearing you will get? Maybe if the crank came with some mystery brand of bearings, it would be wise to buy some bearings from someone with a good reputation in the Jeep community. Clevite is a popular choice.

@reidman86 2 года назад

I appreciate your math lesson. From my experience, when you use those formulas in real life you always use the fastest method. Time is money, no need for added conversions. I work in construction so we always set radius points so we can set a center point and pull a string line.

He’s also checking it on a table. I’ve always heard it’s best to measure and assemble the bottom end of straight 6’s or even old school straight 8 on a table or flat surface, not hanging from one end.

@ekscalybur 2 года назад

True. No metal is a true solid and static. Hanging from one end is applying torque to the shape of the block and the iron is moving ever so imperceptibly. But it IS moving.

When you mentioned the bearing was out of round, then the machine shop confirmed it was round and the possible cause was inconsistencies in the bearing. Why not order a new set, different brand etc? I’m in no way of telling anyone what to do in their field, just curious.

Random question. In this episode you talk about the main clearance being .003 and you were going to sand the main caps to tighten them up. Is that something that can be done with connecting rods as well? I'm building my own 4.0 and I'm finding the rod bearing clearance is just a shade loose (about .0003")

Blueprinting an engine like this definitely makes a difference in horsepower and reliability. The OEMs, especially the American manufacturers, would just have the worse tolerances that wouldn't be found on Japanese engines.

@elijahheadrick1389 2 года назад

haha big block go brrr.... I feel like thats completely true. USDM motors tend to be a little looser in tolerance, but (in the case of the AMC 242) run for incredibly long periods of time, with little (or even no) maintenance at all.

@LTVoyager 2 года назад

Funny, as the only engine I ever had fail prematurely (for me anything less than 100,000 miles is a premature failure) was in a 1984 Honda Accord. The cam and rocker arms mutually consumed each other at 72,000 miles. The dealer said “pound salt” as the warranty then was only 36,000 miles. I complained to Honda and they sent me a letter suggesting I hadn’t maintained the engine properly. I keep a lot book for all of my vehicles that shows not only all maintenance and repairs, but I log every gas purchase. I sent them a copy of the 16 or so pages in my log book by then along with receipts for the Mobil 1 oil and genuine Honda oil filters and their second letter said that warranty was denied as 72,000 miles was within what Honda considered “normal tolerance for engine life.” I haven’t bought a Honda since then. I’ve never had an American, German (two Beetles) or Korean (Sonata) car have an engine failure, let alone one at less than 100,000 miles. I maintain my vehicles impeccably and the Accord engine was simply defective and Honda would not stand behind it. Their loss as I liked the car otherwise and probably at least half of the dozen or so vehicles I have bought in the last 38 years would have been Honda’s had they stood behind their defective product.

What torqued me wasn’t the engine failure per se, but the cavalier and accusatory attitude of Honda the company (well, the American division at least). That completely turned me off to anything with Honda on it, motorcycle, lawnmower, etc. My Kawasaki engined John Deere’s have held up fantastically for decades as have my Kawasaki and BMW motorcycles.

@brarautorepairs 2 года назад

@@LTVoyager A single data point isn't enough to justify boycott a specific brand. Even within brands, and model years, you will have specific issues. I don't know about the 1984 Honda Accord you had but I specifically remember my shop teacher telling us that the Japanese cars that came in the 80s were more reliable than their US counterparts. They had brand new American made models leaking in the dealership. Engine builders who are used to working on Chevys are surprised that Honda engines don't need to have their threads chased with a tap and how much power the stock bottom end takes. I've had several Hondas and aside from burning oil at higher mileage due to high rpm operation, they are well built. The B and K series takes abuse all day everyday.

@wackowacko8931 2 года назад

Main caps and rod caps are SUPPOSED to be egg shaped at the parting line. Machine shops know this, which is why they machine the caps the way they do. Stop and think about what happens inside the engine, especially as the RPMs go up. The crank is going to try to come out of the block, if it can. As it does, the main caps will stretch a bit, and the main caps will pinch in right at the parting line because the crank is trying to come out. The main cap is a U shape, and as the bolts stretch from the force of the crank, the bottom of the U is going to bend at the center and the caps are going to pinch in at the parting line. If your mains are a perfect round shape when sitting on the bench, they are going to be an oval shape under rpm, and again - they are going to pinch in right at the block/main cap junction line - which will cause the crank to be scored and the bearings damaged. If the machine shop machines in an egg shape at the parting line, the main bore will tend to become round as the rpms go up and prevents the bearing from pinching the crankshaft. In addition, the egg shape of your main bore will help the bearings stay in place and keep them from spinning. It also prevents the main caps from fretting on the block. Again, this is a completely normal practice to make the mains and the rods slightly egg shaped - so that your engine will last more than 5 minutes.

The idea and possibilities of electric cars are awesome. Low center of gravity, maximum torque available at any rpm, quiet, simple, less moving parts less things to fail. First problem is we don't have battery technology that's suitable for vehicles - fast charging, safe and easy recyclable. Second problem is that cars nowadays are not designed by engineers but by accountants and marketing divisions. There is no technological race for best car anymore. Instead all most inhumane and anti-user big corporate practices are being implemented in EVs: - nothing is user serviceable - battery is not replaceable - batteries will most likely in near future be rented not owned, so good bye selling your car to let's say other country (not much issue in USA I guess but in Europe it's quite common) - per design fixing anything costs so much it's better to scrap it (there was a story about Jaguar I believe that had puncture in floor that normally would be patched and done, but because battery is glued to the floor - replacing is not financially feasible - $40K, yes fourty thousands of american dollars) - everything is software, and everything has to be connected to the internet allowing company to change properties of your car whether you want it or not - subscription based features - charging can be externally limited, even at your own home (I believe in UK there's legislation going on right now for government to be able to restrict car charging if grid is loaded)
