Es una Riata señor (Spanish language) You're smart person. Thanks a lot. Regards from Monterrey, NL. México.

@jdyonker 2 года назад

Life saver! Did this on an engine to trans dowel. Not a blind hole, but filled with grease from the backside, threaded in a bolt to seal, and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

@martinbuilt 2 года назад

That is awesome, I'm glad the video helped you out.

@aaronspitler736 3 года назад

You might want to add a little to this video. You can't leave the grease in the bolt holes you could potentially crack the block when bolting the heads on. So be sure to blow all the grease out and clean hole with solvent.

@ricktruelove 3 года назад

Yes. And the drill bit turned around and twisted in clockwise by hand and pulled straight out would help get the bulk of the grease out before blowing with compressed air.

@gorak9000 Год назад

this method also doesn't work if the holes aren't blind (aka go all the way into the water jacket) like on some engines.

@28Mystry Год назад

Oh my god I can't believe this worked so well! I stripped two bolts on a camplate where both dowel bushings are and was having a very hard time removing them. Remembered watching your video and was able to punch these out and get the heli coils installed! Thanks so much for posting, this trick will stay with me forever.

@wyattandwill12 Год назад

Wow this is awesome. Wish I could have seen this before trying a pair of needle nose vise grips but at least I knew I shouldn’t have done that. My dowel pin is in the bellhousing and has a hole on both sides but I can simply just have someone hold a block of wood on that side with their body weight. I’ll have to find something to stick in the pin and see if I can get my brand new but not working grease gun to work but that’s another headache.

@martinbuilt Год назад

Yeah with the whole Going Clear through the bellhousing you're gonna have a hard time removing it using this method because of the hydraulic pressure that is created by using this method is just gonna simply push whatever you're trying to hold on the other side. If the whole goes clear through you might be able to use like a round punch and drive the and drive the dowel pin out.

@Andys_Auto 10 месяцев назад

The one I need to remove is for a starter motor but it doesn't have a hole in it so this method won't work for me but I must say that is really cool. I'll have to remember this in the future. Great video!

@travisjennings9548 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. I had to remove two dowel pins from a Subaru block and the first one I did the old fashioned way with vice grips and a drill bit. Needless to say that one is completely destroyed. I thought to myself that there has to be a better way to remove these things. Came across this video and voila, the second dowel pin doesn't have a scratch on it. Vice grip method = buying new dowel pins; grease method = holy shit, I can't believe that worked.

If it's on an engine stand turn it upside down and use some brake parts cleaner. I was able to remove a lot of it by using a long skinny screwdriver.

Thank you!! Those 4.7 timing cover dowels are hard to get. (Mopar part # mopar 53010533aa)

@felicitous48 21 день назад

No dice. I broke both of them. I must have left air pockets or something. Then broke one with vice grips and the other trying to bottom a tap in the hole to force it out. I believe for the 4.7 timing cover alignment pins that the dimensions are 14mm diameter by 15mm length. That is what I have ordered so fingers crossed! This is holding up the engine transplant whole show!

Hey Martin, this is a little of topic, but have you heard of rockerlocks? I recently dropped my valve seat and my rocker won’t lock in with my lifter. I was going to get a new HO engine but then was recommended rockerlocks on a forum. (Rockerlocks dot com) it seems like a band-aide but do you think it’ll last a couple thousand miles? Already bought some so either way I’m going to try it.

@martinbuilt 3 года назад

yes, it's a band-aid. I'm sure they will keep a rocker from popping off. Try removing a rocker after installing them. It won't help a dropped valve seat, the head needs to be replaced or fixed.

@antiochiaadtaurum3786 2 года назад

@@martinbuilt Two problems I've ran into - the drill bit size 3.5mm is slightly too small, the 4mm is slightly too big And possibly a bigger problem, even if i can find the right drill bit end (prob 3.7mm, 3.8mm) the dowel itself is a sprung teeth type one, so that it can ordinarily be squeezed to install or removed. So probably, even if a drill bit fits, the pneumatic energy will be lost through that long side of the dowel. Not enough of the dowel is sticking up over the engine block (almost none of it is). IT sheared off somehow. It's a head scratcher. I have spare dowels to install, but can't get that current one out :l
