We thought we were done. We thought we were over it already, but we dipped back into the IROC's engine yet again with another lead on the noise. #IROC Z, #CAMARO, #ENGINE NOISES
Definitely spun rod bearing which means the whole engine has to come out. Great pain, even greater gain. But it wasn't for nothing, every moment a great learning opportunity. How many beautiful memories to look back on with pride, all the (tens of) thousands of dollars saved by doing it yourself...and everybody loves someone who knows how to get things fixed. Pull out, disassemble, repair, reassemble, put back in-I anticipate at least a dozen if not two dozen more episodes...and that's just the engine...not counting the interior and bodywork. Finally, how many young men can walk into a (potential future) interview and say: "I'm self-taught. I learned from watching and doing alongside my dad. It's on RU-vid if you don't believe me."
OK OK...Lets stop guessin n start tearin things apart !! Declan is looking way more comfortable using and handling tools..Gettin more confident every time ! Declan, cherish this time dad ! Youll be tellin these stories to ur kids one day ! Wish Id have had the opportunity to do more wrenchin w my dad and as a plus, u have it on video forever to look back upon ! Now lets get to wrenchin !!!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of the most satisfying things I have ever done is to take my frustration out on a long extension. I whipped it out the open garage door into the street. I felt much better afterward and returned to fix the problem with my 87 Vette. No one was hurt and nothing was damaged. I finally got the problem fixed too.
I remember those days as a kid after my dad threw the tools and Id have to go find them I also got the extra bonus of learning new words. 😀 So now I have passed that special trait on to my son
Gentleman, picking my brain as my General Motors parts career started in 1988. If memory serves me correctly, Chevrolet had a cam and lifter issue in 88- 89. The issue was premature wear of the cam and lifters on the 305, as well as engine blocks cracking in the lifter valley. I believe GM had a service bulletin for this issue, and it was handled under warranty. In your video, I saw all rocker arms moving as designed. However, you could still have a cam lobe or more worn as well as wear in your lifters. Understandably I am not saying it is the problem, just a possibility. I haven't forgotten to send that book I mentioned. I just need to get my butt to the post office. Your fan from Springfield, Mike!!😊
Good awesome car I’ve 2 1988 gta trans ams with the 5.7 you and both cars I had the same thing it was a spun bottom end bearing which was number 8 cylinder both times so I rebuilt both engines with upgraded cams and rocker arms and also had to get new crankshafts because there a one peace rear main seal and weren’t repairable also after replacing everything they never did it again it’s a common problem with those motors I still have one today after the rebuild I have well over 100000 miles on it and not all easy miles
please remove all that smog junk before you put it back in the car it will run so much smoother and maybe look into performance parts instead of stock replacements
Keep at it guys you will diagnose it eventually. The things your son is learning cannot be learned from books And that is patient and determination will get the job done. Glad to see your dad and son working on a car
Declan you really interested in automotive you be focused not having other plans plus your at age of girls now. we see how you truly focused and dedicated to fixing your car. watching youtube videos would help Declan with help if he really interested
Hey guys what about the cam lobes? You could be having some cam lobs flattening out and that could put the shimmering stuff in your oil. This would also affect your lifters too.
Hi, nice video, I hope you can make it run as it deserves. Now I don't feel alone working on my Camaro 85, it is a T-top. Do you need emissions in your state? Are you planning after making it work well to maybe swap the engine with a 350?
I said in a previous video comment that the hydraulic lifters can make this noise. A oil change with detergent oil and Rislone additive can clean up the lifters without having to change them. It's a easy thing to do.
It’s beyond lifter noise. Metal in the oil and a terrible racket deep in the engine. I may not be able to pinpoint the issue but I know we’re going to have to pull it to get to the bottom of it
Give the kid a chance,but one thing is sure show more enthusiasm on screen,get some used oil and smother your hands with it smear your face and then start filming,but this is the best time for him to start basic mechanics,he’s got a great dad and patient dad,good luck🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@ThrowingWrenchesGarage Yes. They were. I mentioned this in one of your previous videos but for some reason YT kept deleting it. I'll try it again in another comment in case it gets deleted, again. 😁
Can’t take it. You’re doing a great job teaching him to work on cars but you should have done this years ago. He probably very book smart but he knows nothing about cars. Should have been helping you years ago. I won’t to jump in the screen and show him what to do.
I think declans listening and learning my dad never taught me about cars my mates did but at least declan is learning from his dad more about cars than most teenagers at his age
It’s never too late to learn. I knew nothing about carbs, coils, distributors until 4 yrs ago, and I’m still learning but I have a good grasp on it and I’m in my 30s. The kid is still young and being a teenager. They don’t look like they’re listening but they are. He also might just be self conscious about being on camera. Keep up the good work. Both of you are doing great
Raise your own kids buddy he's not going to be a master technician the idea is to have him know the basics and be able to fix his own car and he's doing just fine with that... You don't have to watch Buddy and if you do stop being a judgemental azzhole
When you get the car jacked up grab a lone screw driver or a long extension start the car and hold against the block and oil pan with putting your ear to the end of the screw driver or extension and you will definitely pin point the noise coming from the engine, I'm still sticking with a rod bearing or main bearing on the crank... I'm as excited as you guys are to find out what's the culprit to the mystery noise........
Seen that too, unfortunately the way todays youth is… geeked when they get it, if there’s any work to be done to get it running they’ve lost interest …cool the dads trying to get his son involved with him… but todays kids attention spans are gone due to tik tok 1 minute videos and social meda…every single one is white as a ghost from not playing outside.
@@toddprater14I’m new to this sort of thing so most of the time I don’t know what to look at, I’ll say this again as I have before, I am very interested in the car, and would not rather be on my phone as todays “youth”
@@MyRoc_88 I’m not ripping on you at all little bro , it’s nice to see you and yer dad doing a car together, wish my dad did that with me… I had a 87’ black and gold trim package 305/5speed with t tops in 1991 paid 7000 for it with 42k miles… I love iroc’s I want another as I’m 54 now and going down memory lane…glad to hear your not like most youth today , that’s good to hear…
