Looks Awesome, Thank You For All Your Time and Effort!!! You Are Greatly Appreciated. Also thanking you in advance for helping to install this Magnificent Awesome Engine !! Thanks Again.
I'm linked from Matt's channel, and extremely glad I did. I'm subscribed. Not only entertaining, it's highly informative, and ultimately therapeutic. No music (than God for that), and the irony of the "clean hands" comment is completely juxtaposed. I immediately sussed to your clean hands and found that a sign of a professional who *works clean*...in every facet of what you're doing, not least your thinking and scruples. Thank you!
I know it sounds silly but when you were holding the piston up before you put it on the rod all I could see was a beautiful piece of art, I really love the inside of an engine.
Now this is the stuff I like, This is a nice engine right here. He needs to pull that 8.1 out of the so-called world's largest offered record and rebuild that it's a stock engine has a bunch of miles on it
I agree it’s a bit aggravating he will just yank a junkyard engine and put it it one of his vehicles he depends on without freshening it up, I know ls based engines are tough but I personally like to know what I got and that is solid.
@@kenleppekthis is true, in my mind when I typed that I was thinking of when they did a “tuneup” on the morvair and the plugs looked like junk, they went on to mention they just pulled it from the junk yard and didn’t even change the plugs.
"Old School Video". Yeah...it's incredibly fulfilling. It could be used for teaching purposes too, yet it's highly entertaining in its careful, quiet, clean methodology. The man is a craftsman. No bells or whistles needed.
seems that viewer who said you hands weren't dirty enough wanted the engine to fail as quickly as possible after its built, seems he doesn't understand how to properly work on a vehicle.
As far back as I can remember my dad told me....anyone can be dirty when working,the trick is to "work clean". That was in the 70s when I was 10ish. I never gave it much thought. In my 20s I became a transmission mechanic and learned what he was talking about. Now that I'm in my 60s I'm a master at working clean
My CC needs to be able to run that deep! lol Great work man. Matt's a great guy, glad you're doing the work for him. I know it'll be a good strong motor. I have to admit, I'm a bit envious your vision is still good enough that you don't have to use a digital micrometer to get your readings. Im only 42yo! and I used to have perfect vision up until I was about 36. I've just switched to digital on everything to make my life easier.
13:20 some modern diesel engines have a step notch in the piston rings... so to measure ring gap, the ring has to be flipped to measure the end gap in each of the two overlapping step joints "like a staggered brick wall" there twice as thick as a gas engine ring. metal shear and makes them off a sheet from strips wound around a lath jig, same as how springs are made. piston ring Slinkey... makes the combustion gas not only go down on the ring end but has to turn 90 degrees 4 times before leaking into the crank case or secondary ring.
wow, that’s gonna be a beast. I would’ve loved to see you do a souped up Duramax, though that would’ve been a little more stout with all the torque they make. Still, it should be pretty killer.
That camshaft has a very late intake closing. Much better choices out there for that application. Otherwise, nice parts selection and attention to detail on the build.
Should put it on a dyno to get some n/a numbers, then put the supercharger on, get numbers from that. I’m glad you’re using link bar lifters. I had a lifter spin in the janky GM LS lifter tray. It was ugly.
Very cool powerful engine but why not a custom-built diesel for the torque and durability aspects. I know there would be significant weight differences. Just a thought.
Aluminum heads and premium fuel you should have been ok at 10.0:1. It just takes less boost to get to your power goal. Which ultimately leads to a longer engine life.
For the application would a dry sump be better or maybe an accusump? I’ve seen the angles Matt has had to operate under. Not sure if oil pressure loss is a valid concern or not for the application.
Don't stop using that clip - I love Reacher (though Tom Cruise did a decent job, he didn't fit the part)... This guy... Richardson? Much better... but even he is too short. Reacher is supposed to be pushing 7 feet tall... a real giant.
Matt’s gonna have you building corvair engines next 😂 Amazing build! Easily the nicest engine Matt will have in his fleet of vehicles. Something tells me you’re gonna get him hyped on a 6.0 for the morrvair.
I am a mechanic, and I keep my hands as clean as possible. I'd be pissed if I got into my car and the steering wheel was greasy or any other part of my car got greasy from a dirty mechanic.
I can't watch MORR videos again. The engineering dogma of "If 200 lbs. of steel is good, 800 lbs. will be 4X as good". This will be metaphorically dropping a strawberry into a basket of turds. Nice engine.
You said you were pretty sure the first set of bearings weren't going to work why didn't you order both sets of bearings send back the set that doesn't work then you would have saved a whole day, just saying.
