SANDMAN BUILD - Part 3 - THE ENGINE IS FINALLY BACK IN!! 

Hi boys love the show always found with 308 oil pump you need to pack it with vasoline before putting the oil filter on to get pressure

When tightening bolts into aluminium I stop before righty tighty turns to righty loosey

The coil hat at the end was a Devo hat. Also good to boil your thermostat to make sure it works. Some brand new ones are faulty. Best to find out before running in.

Love watching. It's like hanging out with mates. I got a brain injury 2 years ago at work and now I can't drive or work on my car anymore so it's good to watch you guys having fun.

Keep the stock air filter but flip the lid old school style

It's getting harder and harder to watch these, in one take. The outtakes are just hilarious🤣🤣. She's starting to look good and can't wait to hear her running true and strong. 👍

Can’t beat a good sandman , I regret selling mine years ago and have missed it ever since

Good job boys

Hey Lads, so I am not sure if you now this trick, but for putting on smal and tricky gasket goop, use a $2 Sarindge from the chemist. Fill it and then have way more contra over where it goes and how much...

You going for dreads ?You should start combing it back. YEAH YEAH

You guys should get an engine leveller for your crane. Makes it a lot easier with the bonnet on

Great work Nathan and Michael and as always times flying this year hope the get updated on the g t falcon and rusty gem

The fuel pipe you bent up is great. In NZ we are not allowed braided fuel lines anymore for street cars. So I have been wondering how I would get on doing them, thanks for the tips.

I just realised how cool the number plate is. Nice!

Bloody stoked how good it looks and how it’s coming along. Surprised you didn’t have some pre bent “test” pieces of hard line for your radiuses. But it’s still mint even with a little bit of wasted tube, it’s definitely not as easy as you guys make it look that’s for sure! A good tip for when you cut bolts down, put a nut on it so when you cut them down you can wind the nut back off and it can chase the threads out again

See Duncan's comment below. YOU HAVE TO PRIME THE OIL PUMP AND FILTER. Pack pump with grease or vasoline and fill the filter with oil. I learned the hard way.

You can sometimes run the return spring mount underneath, to help filter clearance 😉

Awesome progress boys you need and small mill and lathe then you can whip up your own bushings and things. Very handy

Love this channel, you guys always look like your having a great time working together.

Most of the aftermarket thermostat housings have the oring now (aeroflow etc) and they work really well but I still goop everything too :P

The old oil filter installation recommends 1/2 turn after touching. I did that once and it leaked bad. Tight is right 👍

Their is a liqued thread sealer you can buy if that thread lock doesn't do the job. Pretty sure it is permaseal that do it.

Word of the day??? WINGNUT !!

Looks amazing. Well done lads 👍

It's good to know your method for figuring out hardline bends is the same as mine!

Yeah I was sold a similar thermostat housing with an O ring for my last 186 build. Total crap, leaked, put a standard housing and gasket back on it. Spose the thing to remember about most of this aftermarket stuff is, one word, China.

I hope I get a bag of lollies this time just ordered my j3 chip for fairmont.ive already got a stack of pens stickers and airfreshners.

That carb is a vac secondary not a double pumper gentlemen. The vac secondary is the better carb for your application in my opinion anyway 👍

Great Work. Really Enjoy your videos.

Hey guys great channel love the old Holden stuff👍 what colour did you use on the engine? Looks more orange than the ' Holden red ' looks heaps better.. And I'm sure your aware how much those stock air filters are worth if not sit down, and jump on eBay 👍

Please please please film putting the throttle cable in the car!! There’s like no videos online of throttle cable install!!!!

Awesome episode gents! Lovin the 308 content

Loving the old Holden stuff. Ithink i missed the reason why you're running exhaust sensors. Another Holley sniper?

Needs True Dual Pipes on it 👀

Are you sure that’s the right thermostat housing? Thought it should have 2 heater hose outlets. One goes to the water pump then the other goes to the heater core

Hi Guys, total newbie here. Would love to put a 308 in a VK as a cruiser, plus pair it with an auto trans. Whats the ball park cost of something like this, buying the engine and transmission, if I got it from TJ like you did. Thanks guys

You guys need a fairlane hoodie :) if you don’t make one I will haha

You gotta wait 3 more days while you should soak the spigot bush in oil. Otherwise you will have an annoying squeak when clutch is out. Soak until when you wipe oil off but it stays greasy

Do you run a bung on each extractor or just the one ?

Hey guys what air filter is that?

Maybe I'm OCD but I goop the thermostat as well to stop bypass 🥴

OCD again, I file both holes a smaller amount to keep it in the centre, I starting to hate myself 🤣

Is Nath thinning on top?

Clutch alignment tool??? You both are built with 2. Eyeballs ftw, was taught a few tricks as an apprentice and have done a lot of clutches with out alignment tools and have a 99% strike rate

What brand is the fuel pump and where did you get it?

Put some silicone between the crank nose and the back of the harmonic balancer washer (the one you reckoned was 8mm thick) This is to prevent oil possibly coming out between the crank and balancer. I’ve seen it happen a few times. And…. Get a bloody handle on your file before you put it through your hand… I’ve seen that to lol… although the guy that did it wasn’t laughing.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
