I can't express enough how much I enjoy these redline videos. The production value is just top notch (yep), and Davin is such a down-to-earth guy. He does such a good job explaining things for the average viewer and seems like he genuinely enjoys the work. We need more people like him. The videos feel less like a production, and more like he's coaching an apprentice. He's also willing to show his mistakes, how he overcomes them, and things he genuinely didn't know and had to learn more about. Great work as always. Thank you all for your putting this content together.

Love reading comments like this! Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!!

I love that David uses a special alignment tool to make sure the bearings are pressed in perfectly straight only to then use a hacked up camshaft to ream them to size. 🤣

I’ve seen a lot of rebuilds done , but that was the most informative one I’ve ever seen . Thank you much . Mark M.

Dang that cam sprocket looks wobbly.

Just saw that

An alternative to reaming the cam bearings out is to use a roll burnisher set to the cam journal size. What that does is expand the soft bearings slightly and will not leave scratches in the bearings or remove any material.

I like that idea better! You would think the cam installer would have an adapter to do that.

David’s videos are the best. I don’t watch much of Hagerty, but I watch all of David’s videos.

The level of effort that went into the production of this video is insane. So informative while having stunning shots and useful timelapses.

What a beauty of an engine, Mopar hit a grand slam when they created that beast.

This is my favorite ongoing project I've been watching since the beginning. My dad was a dirt track racer in the 50s before i was born so this is something he would of loved to work on.

when he scraped the bearings, and fitted the new cam at 11:33 did anyone else notice the wobble on the gear?

@88SC

11 ай бұрын

Yes. But it was tracking straight later on after he said he’d degreed the cam and it was torqued down. I suspect he just ran the sprocket bolts down finger tight to use it for manipulating the cam into the block.

Any gear-head born in the 1950's smiles a lot when they hear "440". That first start-up will be the next big smile!

Really enjoy the the redline engine builds, and the engine fab shop stuff! It really helps the hot rod enthusiasts who don't have access to everything, the info is great helping guys like me, decide when and where you should maybe leave things to the pros! And obviously those decisions will be different with all of us! Great stuff! 🇺🇲💯✌

Your level of knowledge and preparation really shows how primitive my at home builds are. There is always something to learn. Thank you for your efforts.

Love the photography and time lapse, first rate! Not to mention great assembly and tips 🙂

Only thing I am watching on KZread is Redline update/rebuilds with Davin. Amazing information, perfect editing job, good flow, positive vibes. Perfect job.

That 440 is beautiful! Great to have Davin explain how and why. Love this because I'm gonna do a basic rebuild on my motor and the thought of it is terrifying. 🤣

The best KZread channel.

It doesn't get any better than this! Great work guys and thanks for all the useful info.

Need more Redline Rebuilds with Davin!

With quality parts and machine work, good assembly practices, these old 440's are real stump pullers. Thank you for your time on this build video!

All those old big block engines were beasts. Chevy 396-454, Ford 390-460, Chrysler 383-440, Buick/GM 455 and all the rest. Powerful, dependable and easy to get power ratings up. Gas hogs of course but when gas was 25 cents a gallon, so what.😎👍

Great video as usual. My party trick to match oil holes on camshaft bearing with oil galleys is to put a dot with marker at the front of the bearing and second on the front of the engine block where oil galley is. This way you can match them when bearing is on a tool. And about that universal tools for camshaft bearings, because they open to accomodate different sizes, the surface that pushes bearing inside is not whole so it leaves marks. With very soft bearings or with very tight fit it can misshape them. Better to turn it for size from soft material like aluminium.

Truly AMAZING craftsmanship! I appreciate that you kept all of it to stock clearances. I had a Coronet 440 back in the day, and it was a fantastic car. It made it to 400,000+. Truly one of the greatest American engines ever made.

I need more videos of this quality in my life. Everything was so informative and kept holding my attention from beginning to the end. Edit: Side note, the stop-motion assembly just added so much more to the video as well.

I've never built an engine in my life but I could literally watch this guy all day. By far one of the most interesting build channels and mechanics I've ever come across.

Great job. Such a professionalism in assembling, i wish my m48.01 v8 100k miles were rebuild this way

Thank you for showing the Timelapse process! I’ve worked in local TV for almost 30 years. Salute to the editor and animator🫡!

EYE GLASSES WERE NOT HARMED !!!

Hands down the most intriguing and informative and captivating engine build on YT i have seen. Such a treat to watch

I love watching this man work. A master of his trade but treats each build with the care of true enthusiast. It is really the best company when I am drawing.

When I was a young kid learning to do machine work and engine assembly, my much older and wiser boss showed me a tip when installing cam bearings. If your not going to install them in reverse like Dave did, you can put the bearings in and then set the front of the camshaft in backwards on the front bearing and gently tap or nudge it bye hand to center the front bearing. Although large displacement Chryslers where a pain to get the cam to turn free I had good luck with the small displacement engines, like SBF and SBC..

This is why I have the machine ship install the cam bearings.

Thanks Davin i have been waiting a long time for this video, it was great.

Davin makin' it happen like a well-oiled machine!😂 It's gotta be nice being in a nice clean shop for a change, eh? No snakes or spiders to wrestle with! Thanks, Davin and crew! Great episode! Nice to have the Redline Rebuilds back! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Redline rebuilds is my favorite part of this channel.

Davin, you are one of the BEST of the BEST engineers/mechanics in America. I've watched most or all of your videos and you are a top master mechanic when it comes to diagnosing, repairing and replacementing items and engines on motor vehicles. You should have been a brain/heart surgeon. But glad you are on Hagerty.

You have the best job ever

This dude is the real deal he's a 100 percent total professional

Always fun to watch the assembly Davin.

watching Davin reminds me of working on cars with my dad. i miss my dad.

Gretings from Germany... Very nice Job!!!

Do you drain the breaking in oil before adding the regular oil?

My older brother bought a 1968 Dodge Coronet GT 440- by the time I went of to college - He showed me how to rebuild them! This was EXCEPTIONAL AND EXCELLENT!! WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL these NEW PART'S. LOL. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE!!! FABULOUS workmanship!!

Honestly this vid has taught me a lot, always curious how this worked but never bother doing much research into it. Thanks!

Great video , he knows what he is doing were well

The amount of engineering knowledge needed may as well be magic at my level. It's astonishing bordering on miraculous that people figured out how to make all of this work. I get that it was an evolution over more than 100 years but still.

Your a good teacher 👍

the way you explain all details about the process of what you're doing, is awesome!

Or as Nick the mopar master from Nick's Garage says... Do one cam bearing, then put the camshaft in, take it out, add another cam bearing, repeat... Then you don't get caught out with ALL the bearings in, cam cover plug etc.

The detailed very satisfying to watch... From philippines

An absolute wizard !!! Pleasure to watch things done right.

It's truly a thing of beauty just watching an engine being built

And another academy award winning video. The best on the "tube" or anywhere for that matter.

This was 42 minutes of pure pleasure - thanks!

For anyone wanting to know I was working at Merritt speedway in northern Michigan while this car was there and I talked to Dave and saw the race car in person it was a super cool experience and got to see the bts of it that thing was LOUD super cool crew very respectful and nice

As many times as I've seen you do this, it never gets old. I noticed a similarity between measuring clearances on an engine and reloading ammo. I think it's the precision that I find interesting.

BFH I have full confidence in your work now. 😁

We are very appreciative of the knowledge and experience your channel brings to the screen.. we are lucky to have this access, having a dam good crack at rebuilding my 440 for valiant hardtop.. thanks...

Need more Redline Rebuilds with Davin!. Estava com saudade de um vídeo assim. Sensacional..

Thank you for your video . Concerning information comment at the moment of the action done is very clarifying and better than music . It is almost as if i'm at a specialist school learning to be a mechanic , which in the end i wouldn't even mind , appealing as the mechanics of the motor are . I liked the lesson . Maybe the gentleman could have been a good school teacher . Erwin , Belgium .

The capacity this person has is impressive. Spectacular work

I enjoy the Zen of a good engine build - but I loved the fact you made a simple mistake (didn't cover off the holes when painting) and rather than hide the error, you walked us through the remedy. Reminds us that you are both human too and that we all make mistakes.

Would have love to see it on a engine run stand 👍

I'm so happy to see this motor finally go back together!

What a great piece of work! Outstanding video coupled with terrific info for anyone wanting to rebuild an engine. This is what Hagerty Redline Rebuilds does best.

I like the clicker torque wrenches, no fancy beeping ones.

Looks like a very nice build. Has some nice parts in it. Thanks for sharing the process. Take care, Ed.

lol, just saw the "yup" part. Love the videos. Keep up the good work.

So, a few aftermarket bearing kits I've bought in the past had two ordering options, if you were reusing your old cam, you'd get the OS (oversized bearings), but if you were using a new cam ground to factory spec, you'd use the SS (stock-size bearings). This idea of "scraping" in your Cam bearings is used to be more common, anyone that used to build engines in the 80's with aftermarket cams probably know this nightmare.

@@BAD_CONSUMER you'd be surprised are some of the bananas things that "old-school" engine builders used to do. My uncle used to build small block mopar LA engines for circle-track racing back in the 70s, ultra high-compression/high-revving, he'd use slightly oversized rings and bearings, and let the engine "self clearance", which seems absurd today, but he insisted that that it was extremely difficult to machine tolerances that tight so it was easier to to build them too tight and break them in to perfection. They'd slowly run the motor up to 8500 RPM with a magnet on the oil filter and would pull a quarter's worth of metal shavings out of the filter after the break-in run was done. Thankfully CNC machining has become commonplace and relatively inexpensive since then.

best 440 rebuild video !

I enjoyed the assembly, good info!

I love watching these videos for the attention to detail factor. “The Perfect World” scenario 👍

this video really shows the assembly of every single tiny component. i learned a lot 👏

Fantastic episodes of machine shop and assemble, Davin, your a master! Really happy to see a new episode Thanks

É impressionante acompanhar o serviço de um profissional deste calibre. A experiência e domínio sobre tudo que está fazendo se torna gritante, a ponto de constatarmos que tudo isso não passa de brincadeira para o David. Hagerty, seus vídeos são terapêuticos!!!

Brilliantly done, thank you

Hey Mr Davin! Perfect job, man! Thanks for share knowledge with us!

Bonus points for painting the valley pan 🎁

So glad to see a shop video! I love these like bacon on a Sunday morning!!

My goodness that's one pretty engine. Bet it'll sing like an angel too.

Your a great teacher davin. Thanks for the rebuilds again

That super lapse at 17:40 😯 the amount of work that goes into shooting and editing this is crazy.

Thank you for sharing,i learn a lot and always a pleasure watch redline rebuilt 👍👍👍👍

Some good tips. I build a lot of B/RB Mopar engines. Here's one for you on the cam bearings. I always place the block on it's top and shine a light in oil galley holes to precisely line up the oil hole in the cam bearings while installing. Probably not necessary but it's an OCD thing!

I was there while this there next video was being filmed it was so cool to see it

Finally, i learned something from building an engine.

NICE JOB! 17:55 SO COOL !

*DAVIN!* Yay to the return of Redline Rebuilds w/Davin! Bonus, this time featuring my personal favorite engine - the Mopar 440. I had my '68 GTX out running around just yesterday, in fact. Nothing like a big block Mopar. Good for the soul... *Ben still owes me a tee shirt!* Looking forward to seeing this one run and thanks as always, - Ed on the Ridge
