Great breakdown. I'd like to know how you did your bottom end upgrade. Specifically did you do all the crazy machine work to the block or did you simply dismantle the short block and re-install the new parts. Did you do a hone and all that?

@605BOLT 3 года назад

Thanks for your kind words. In regards to the engine rebuild, I broke the whole engine down and reassembled it with the help of a good friend of mine. This was in 2016 (prior to me posting on this channel). The machine work was done at a place in my hometown. Polished the crankshaft, honed the cylinders very slightly, and cleaned everything. The cost was minimal because the work was minimal. I think it cost about 300 dollars in machine work. Then we reassembled it. The engine is still standard size rings and bearings.

@johnstott3286 3 года назад

@@605BOLT Thanks for the reply. I have a stock bottom end and would like to bulletproof it. I don't see the need for going crazy on machine work if the engine is in good working order to begin with.

@@605BOLT So far, it's a couple upgrades but mostly resto. Purchased new seats from LMR as the old had seen better days. Added a single-blade throttle body. I have the bumper off now doing the bumper gap mod. Parts waiting for install are EGR delete, new boost gauge from AutoMeter, larger supercharger coolant tank that includes washer fluid, and a new mass air flow sensor. Not sure after that. Different pullies maybe and new plugs.

605BOLT mine has OBX. But what I’ve read on the forums is they are the cheaper lesser quality headers. I’d keep doing how to videos. Or if you go to any car/truck shows record some of that. Took mine to it’s first car show a couple of weeks ago. Turn out was awesome.

Hey bro, do you have a video on how you did the egr delete kit install?

@605BOLT 3 года назад

No I don't really. Did that before I started the channel but I can try and get something like that up here. Pretty easy really on mine since all the emissions stuff is deleted. Basically screw the large threaded cap onto the exhaust pipe, and then cap the port on the plenum using the machined plate. I bought a JC Customs delete kit and it was a nice piece. There is another little bracket in the kit but the sensor it was for I deleted. Once the snow clears a bit that would be a good video to make. Thank you for the idea. 👍

This is a different engine completely but I had to remove the egr tube and block off the ports on both ends. Then delete the vacuum lines that run it. And if you do that you will get check engine lights unless you change the tune on the truck.

Hey everyone I really need help. So I have an p2 lightning and just put on new lower intake manifold/turkey pan gaskets. However, I don't know the torque specs for the bolts that hold them down. Can anyone please help?

@605BOLT 2 года назад

I would snug them down first going from the inside out. Then go back and torque them down. I want to say the torque is like 18ftlbs. I wouldn't worry about the torque though. They just need to be tight enough to seal. So hand tight.

@@nefiance oh I gotcha. When I did that, I deleted the items all on the driver side of the engine. None of those items exist on my truck anymore. So you can just delete them as long as you dont create a vacuum leak or boost leak. The two hoses on the egr pipe and the sensor it goes to can be removed. Also the line going from the egr pipe to the egr solenoid can be deleted too. Hope this helps.

@hyslopboys9600 Год назад

What exactly “quit” on your blower??

@605BOLT Год назад

The bone stick blower ran until about 75K miles as a factory stock blower. Then when I went to pulley up to the bigger pulley it didn't even last long enough to get through the data logging before it started howling and grumbling. Bad noises and extreme heat in the snout. So hot that I couldn't touch it. Before I totally screwed it up, I took it and sent it to jokerz for full rebuild and port. He did that and then that blower catastrophically came apart and fully seized about 10K miles later. None of that original blower was useable at that point. So now I have a second blower that I send to jokerz and it's even a bigger hunk of shit but that's a little bit of a spoiler. It lasted me basically half a summer and it now is making noise like it's giving up now too. So I'm generally not pleased with my Jokerz blowers. They both leaked after he was done with them and I had to reseal them on my own. Long story.... I'm not pleased.

@605BOLT Год назад

Hope that answers your question.

@hyslopboys9600 Год назад

Thank you. That’s the kind of detailed response I was hoping for! Sorry to hear about your joker issues. You’re not the first I’ve read about them and issues.

@605BOLT Год назад

Ya it's the shits. I understand that when you run a big pulley you are abusing the blower. I get that. But I would really think a guy could expect more than 10K miles out of one. And also, I expect them to not leak within the first 100 miles. My most recent one leaked the first night I took it out. And it was just sloppy work. Last one I got, the black one, when I got it back from him the plenum was RTV'd on. He sends them that way after port because you don't use a gasket. You use RTV because the inlet hope is bigger and the plenum outlet is bigger. Makes sense. But I needed to pull it off to tap the holes and add fittings to the plenum. Anyway, I go to remove it and the whole front edge of where the plenum mounts to the blower had a gap. So much that there was only RTV on the blower side of the joint and none sticking to the plenum side. There was a visible air gap. Reason was, when he painted the blower he didn't mask the top of the holes where the plenum connects and therefore there was a thick layer or wrinkle paint that was cocking the plenum up in the front. This causes the surfaces to not mate and left and air gap. Luckily I took it off or that would have been an unmetered air leak which would have caused more air to be sucked into the engine than what the MAF would read which would have resulted in a lean condition at best and possibly a blown engine at worst. For the alleged best blower and Eaton guy in the community who rags on other blower guys and claims to be the best, I expected better.
