REBUILD IN 10 MINUTES! Chevy inline 6 

Your title made me think of Vice Grip Garage. He spray paints the engine so it looks pretty and says, “Oh, wow! New rod bearings!”

I had a 250 in a 1976 GMC Sierra that I gave a grand total of $75 for the whole truck. It was an old farm truck that had never been registered or tagged and had 75000 original miles. The truck was in very rough condition. I wound up replacing everything but the cab. The 250, however, was in great shape and very tough. All I ever did to the engine was unplug a wire that was connected to the carb...if I left it plugged in, the truck idled @ about 6000 rpm. Unplugged it ran normally. I put s new battery in it and drove it problem free for three years. I wish I still had it.

The engine is straight up gorgeous, be proud of the time and effort you put into this.

Well done young man! I'm glad to see you have an appreciation for the Inline 6!

@3:17 man that drop on the music is nasty.. good looking rebuild and some nice jams.. A 1 video Brother!

Love the inline 6 n d 63 Belair!

Commenting for support

Great video guys really enjoyed watching, just love how simple these engines are wish engines hadn't gotten so complicated but I guess its progress. Again thanks for sharing

I loved the bat flying through at 3:43.

You guys killed it. Nice job!!!

Tip : Remove the hood more light less back strain

good engines

Great video!

Great motors. Great video. Haven’t seen one of these apart for a long time. Take note of the timing gears.

I would love to have that engine in a Chevy C/10 Blazer. From 1969 up to 1987

Nice job!

Good Lookin Engine. At 3:15 "Startin to Look Like a Motor Now" hahahaha I get that. For me it happens when I'm misting that "Chevy Orange" on em... Ever seen 1 of Davin's from Hagerty's engine paint jobs? The man goes.....all out!!!

OIL PAN KAME OUT CHERRY 👍🏿 SUPER KLEAN PAINT JOB MY YOUNG BROTHA 😁😁😁😁

Engine looks great. Bit u sure could pick some better tunes. That shit will give brain melt lol

love the edit

Awesome car ! Cool video of the rebuild hope it’s still running good !

Well done boys

Thank You !

Nice!👍😎

One thing I didn't see, you should only tighten the 1st head bolt on the driver's side to 85 LBS. FT. on these 3rd gen Stovebolts, except for the 292. That part of the block is weak, and making that bolt 95 can easily cause the walls of the water jacket in that area to crack. It is hardly worth trying to fix that area, as the crack is often inaccessible. (Someday when gas engines are as rare as hen's teeth, that will be a different story).

Really interesting! I just bought a 1958 Apache 3800 dump truck with a 235. It starts, runs, drives like a top haha, even the dump is strong. Lots of lifter noise, sounds a bit like a diesel. I am trying to decide what to do, I think I’ll keep it original.

chevy inline is the best inline six off engine history ( louis chevrolet )

The chrome valve cover on my 292 rusted. I should have waxed or polished or clear coated it. (A heads up, for what it's worth.) I'm glad to see another straight six on the go. They're really good engines, unreasonably looked down on. They make plenty of power and torque, and are smooth and good on fuel, besides being nice to look at. And because everybody and his dog, and its fleas, all have V8s, the straight sixes are exceptional. I put a QuadraJet on an Offenhauser manifold on my 292, (53 Pontiac) but I'm going to stick with the MonoJet on my 250. (40 Buick) I read about 250s or 292s having progressive two barrels, in the last year or so of production, and with the integral heads. It's also nice to see a Bel Air four door getting some well deserved respect.

i had a few novas with the 6's 230's 250's the 230's use the same piston as the 283 v-8 i even had a pontiac 215 6 it use the same pistons as a 265 v-8 makes me think of good will hunting

In Canada, the Pontiac had a 261 c.i.d, a bored out 235, using Chevy motors and wasn't a wide tracking U.S Pontiac, which had Pontiac motors.

One doesn't even need to know where TDC is on any of the cylinders to lash the valves. I use the "E.O.I.C." (E.xhaust O.pening, I.ntake C.losing) method to lash valves... Rotate the engine in it's normal direction of rotation until the exhaust valve just begins to open, the intake lifter is now on the base circle of the cam, lash the intake valve on that cylinder. Now rotate the engine again until the intake valve fully opens, and stop rotating it when it just gets past max lift and starts to close, now the exhaust lifter will be on the base circle, lash the exhaust valve. Proceed the same way for the rest of the cylinders.. You do NOT have to know, and follow, the firing order for the particular engine you are working on to lash the valves this way, but if you do know it, and follow it, there will be much less manual turning of the crankshaft to get the valves in the correct positions.

@ 3:43 that was a bat!

Looking back on this like it's one of my only build videos where nothing really went wrong 😂. Thanks for watching!

The inline chevy timin doesnt use a chain. Awesome

Never go 3/4 of a turn on hydraulic valve adjustment. Once the lifters pump up, they'll usually hang valves open.

I'm currently rebuilding my 64' belair inline 6! Where did you get the parts at? Also what did you use to clean the inside of the engine?

Hopefully you guys bolted the camshaft thrust plate down so it doesn't walk out

love your video! I am hoping to get your opinion on something. I have a chevy 350 that I want to freshen up without machining. I specifically want to replace the main and rod bearings to increase engine longevity. So regarding the rod bearings, can I just replace them, do the clearance checks, and retorque them without having to change the rod bolts/nuts? Its just a stock, average HP late 70' engine that is just a daily driver. Thoughts on this?

In order to tighten the rockers you need to rotate the crankshaft to put the next lifters on "neutral" position before setting the screws, right? Isn't it a problem since it's gonna spread the camshaft lube outside?

Beers were cold

What air cleaner is that? Been having trouble finding one that fits the single barrel carb on my 230

hey my grandfather left me a 1981Chevy C10 custom deluxe inline 6..... I want to keep the original motor but try to get a lit more power wat would u suggest

I have a ‘67 Camaro inline 6, anyone have tips on where to start with it? It doesn’t even turn over

Looks like you painted over the grime on the oil pan.

Im very interested, what is your channel. Doing a truck 250 6 cyl now. Want to add a few performance parts. Thanks Bill C

What manual did you use for this rebuild?

What temperature and amount of time in the over, for the crank gear?

Are parts for these hard to find. I have a chance to get a 250 complete for 200. I just don't want to start rebuilding and not be able to finish. Good job on this one BTW.

i have a 235 with hydro lifters but it has the old tube that the rockers ride on its a 1953. can i change the head to a rockers like the one in the vid

Hey is ur vac advance on a manifold vac or a ported

Where can I find the throttle linkage and plate?

hi guys, is that a two on one barrel ?

Buzzen a half dozen cool car just came across this video

Is this similar to the L6 in the 1965 Chevelle? My first car.

What city are you what do you charge for 235 on a 55belair

How much for the build

Not all scientists wear white coats. Respect 🙏
