This is the same engine that is in my 1997 dually that I bought brand new in 1997. It still runs great and it is a beast. I found this video fascinating for some reason. I now know so much more about the engine of my beloved 454. Sad to see such damage on this iconic engine. Nice job. And I agree with other comments about adding music and fluff.

Hi Eric, another great video. I was having flashbacks when I saw that cast iron water pump. I worked in the foundry that produced all those GM V8 water pumps until they went aluminum in mid 2000s. Then when I saw the main caps I remembered we cast those also. Shipped the caps to Canada where they machined them. Hope all is well.

That engine reminds me of a Volvo Amazon 121 I had years ago. I was driving it across the bridge leading south out of Stockholm (2 lanes, rush hour) when the engine started to knock I got annoyed and floored it. It went kaboom and half the camshaft fell out on the street in a puddle of oil. tailbacks for miles..

Loved the video. Seeing you trying to pull the harmonic balancer brought back memories. The balancers on GM's big blocks were always a pain to get off. One trick is to hit the shaft of the puller a good whack or two. It seems to shock the crank and sometimes they just pop right off.

@@connerlabs It heats up the tool and makes it loose its temper. Picture the microscopic cutting edge peeling a shaving of stainless off. The stainless is *not* happy about being sliced and deformed so it gets really hot. The cutting edge is pretty small and can get up to a very high temperature very quickly from conduction with the chip. It takes a lot to ruin the temper of high speed steel (what twist drills are made from) but exceeding 80 feet per minute will cook the finest grades. My apologies for the weird speed unit; this is the normal unit used for North American machinists. But if you work it out, you'll see the edge speed of a 1/2" (13mm) drill can't exceed 600 RPM or you'll exceed the 80FPM speed limit. Things like hole saws can't be made (inexpensively and durably) out of HSS so you have to go even slower with them. ~60FPM. A 4" hole saw=57RPM! Carbide doesn't count because it isn't hardened with a heat treatment. You can go way faster if you can stand being attacked by burning hot chips. 300FPM is nothing. Specifically for twist drills drilling stainless: make sure you've got a good split point drill bit. The "chisel" of a non-spit point or a split-point that isn't ground to nothing "shoves" the stainless around, which stainless doesn't do. That's where it gets hard from work hardening and stops cooperating. ABC of machining stainless: Always Be Cutting.

Simply bolting the heads on WILL distort the bore, and it won't be straight anymore. That is why an engine should be final honed with a torque plate bolted to the block with the actual brand/type of head gasket that is going to be ran, and all bolts torqued to the proper spec. Then when it distorts the bore, you'll end up honing it straight with the heads being simulated on the engine and the bore distortion it will create.

The 8.1 is basically the MKVI bbc, but stroked to 4-1/4 inch and with metric threads. The heads had a different, now symmetrical port design, an 18 bolt pattern. There was also different oil pan rails, longer rods, and some other minor small details.

Owners/mechanics working on these engines would have gladly gave $200 for that EGR tube. They’re discontinued by GM and almost impossible to find.

"Malice in the combustion palace..." Good stuff. 😄

NAPA has nice engine stands with a crank and gear mechanism for spinning the motor. How's your Lotus (lots of trouble usually serious)?

Last week you promised this teardown would be a totally wrecked engine. Lol. You delivered. What a disaster. Fucking awesome.
