This will show the procedure to disassemble a small block V8. This can also be applied to other manufacturers like Ford and Chysler, they are about the same.
I don't know how often you do this, but tell your wife a guy from the internet said you deserve a nice set of speed wrenches for xmas.. Thanks for sharing...
It's Mechanical Porn - The dude didn't seem to use Torque sequence pulling the heads I guess thats ok if you plan having them machined anyway and he pries on heads and intake but a dead blow hammer wouldn't mar the mating surfaces and that can be a huge mistake
A lot of people watch how to videos to critique people the fact that this man is trying to show us how to disassemble a block yet forgetting bolts and forgetting what needs to actually be taken off in order to remove things it's kind of disturbing I know damn well I never really work on V8s I just love watching people tear down or build blocks lol....
Thank you. I made this video along side my house hoping it will gives others the confidence to rebuild their own engine. Like you said, no special tools.
I bought my first 283 sbc to rebuild yesterday and I've never done anything like it before. The old gear head stressed I shouldnt pull that balancer off like that lol. He claimed to have learned the hard way on his first motor. Maybe it's a part that should be replaced when you rebuild anyway. Good video though helped me prepare for what's ahead. Thanks for posting.
great vid but pls no screwdriver anywhere near the block deck, that made me cringe, but I guess its not so bad in a low effort application where you dont lift heads
Best to use a puller that threads in to the inner threaded holes of the damper pulling from the center of the damper verses pulling from the outer edges.
Take your time and re watch the sections that you are not comfortable with. I live in Silicon Valley, California. You are on the other side of the world. Have a nice day.
you should use the correct puller on the balancer so you don't pull the outer ring off they make pullers that thread into the pulley bolt holes could save replacing a balancer. also you should keep the push pods in order so they wear into the same rocker arms when you reassemble
bob5466 lol, I have taken off harmonic balancers numerous times and when he got out that tool, all I said to myself was "nope". It's a 10$ tool to pull a balancer.
I see no problem with the way you disassembled the engine with the exception of the way you removed the harmonic balancer. You're supposed to use a crow foot puller implementing the three threaded holes that the belt pulley bolts to
Maybe he wanted a new balancer you guys. I took mine off like that and bought a new one who cares how you take it off if you're going to get another one.
Hello David : saw the picture under the exhaust manifold there are 8 screws, what is this screw for? i bought a boat has screw like your engine, when i turn the screw off it leak out water, my guess is the engine has been sank before, what is why the water leak out, am i correct? pls reply, Thank You
I'm not 100% on this but I think that bolt may go into the water jacket that is there to cool the engine so when you take the bolt out coolant comes out and not water from it once sinking. If it did sink it would probably be hydrolocked if it was running and just full of rust if it wasn't
Andrew is correct. These are head bolts and the bolt into the water jackets. When you reassemble, use some sealer (different engine builder us different sealants) on the bolts to prevent seepage around the threads. Also, check out an assembly video and you will see them following a tightening sequence with torqueing these bolts. Just a note, there are little pipe plugs at the side/bottom of the block, just a above the oil pan rails. When disassembling the engine you can remove those first to drain the coolant from the block saving the splashing of it when removing the heads.
@@cordelmar Because they connect into the water jacket. Like when you bolt the intake manifold to the heads, the bolt goes through the head and the threads come in contact with the oil flying around where the valve lifters and push rods are located.
Actually it is a Sea Dweller. I am just used to wearing it. I purchased it in 1980 for $1,500 and it is still working great. I bought the Rolex because of what I call a "significant emotional event". I quite my job in Upstate NY and moved to Silicon Valley, California. I packed everything I thought I would need in my van and drove out to California. I found a new job and started a new life. Go West Young Man. Best thing that happened to me.
Take care. Don't scratch your Sea Dweller. I have a Submariner 5513 that my father gave me long ago. If you are a gear head California is the place to be. I lived in Menlo Park, not far from Silicon Valley. Best wishes from Brazil.
I'm Brazilian, but I have American relatives. One of my aunts married to an American so I have American cousins. From times to times I go to US. It's a a fantastic country.
Just doing the same old thing for years and it works for me. So now I just drive it and enjoy it for what it is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vm-YY-xsMyM.html
You do realize that you ruined that dampner. You're supposed to remove the dampner by the three bolts that hold the crank pulley on with a balancer/dampner puller. It comes off in one piece, not three. Never use a gear puller on a balancer/dampner.
Trudi Wilson It is likely a 350 . The 400 has 3 freeze plugs in the side of the block. The 400 is also externally balanced so the Harmonic Balancer will be ground a little differently and the Flex Plate will have weights on it. On the 400 there are also little steam holes between the cylinders in the heads and the deck of the block.

@@davidlis6709 I asked the vendor he told me that I could use with the spring that is mounted ... in fact the spring serves only to keep the pressure at low rpm and on high there is the by pass .. Obrigado
They are the original heads that came with the engine from the factory. It has enough power for me to burn the tires. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vm-YY-xsMyM.html
That is a 1970, it has matching numbers because I checked and I knew the owner. He wanted to restore the car but he died of cancer. Lesson learned, live for today, tomorrow is coming up fast.

Bruce, while generally you are correct, remember, he is dealing with an old Chevy Small block. They are not very sensitive to his type of issue. You are correct when dealing with newer engine where this an result in warped head and/or block. But the old Chevy V8 (both Small and Large) can take a LOT of abuse.
This is one of my favorite how not to videos to be honest I couldn't watch it for more than 2 minutes it was too painful to watch him struggle like that
haha.. i like people that post these videos that dont know what there doing .. yeah . chisel on the head with at screw drive .. .put the blancer off with a gear puller... that works... haha ..
