I appreciate the support! It was a fun build. This engine went into a truck and would destroy the tires with torque. I have a 440 series coming up that will have some nice aftermarket parts and see a dyno. I got the bottom end parts today to start building it after 🦃 day

I don’t care how the the video may be, I like the fact that I can see what you’re doing most of the time.... unlike the made for tv car shows the pump a custom car out in an hour (minus commercials).

Thanks John! There will be building to come this weekend!

Starting a dry motor (sitting for some time) can give you grief, as you found out. I got into the habit that before starting, I use an adapter to the oil pump drive connected to a high torque drill motor and spin it up. As the pressure comes up, I have a buddy turn the engine with a wrench. We give it 3-4 revolutions. Your heads should be oiled up and dripping into the lifter valley, getting everything nice and oiled up. At a race we were in, I saw a crew start a 468 BBC, blown and injected on methanol on the trailer (warm-up start) without pre-lubing. It spun a rod bearing! Expensive engine and mistake! They just forgot to do it. Man, was that crew chief pissed at himself!

A fine video,Joe. Did i miss seeing you check bearing clearances before torqueing things down ? I'm just an old retired GM Tech but these basics are much the same on all. I myself bring Plastigage home with parts from machine shop. NEVER trust their measurements (anyone can make mistake). I pre assemble rods & caps w/bearings torqued to spec. Check that against miking the crank journals just be sure. Great job checking side clearances. You might already know,the one big main bearing with big sides,called "saddle" or "thrust". Big sides is so you can get feeler down between one side & block while prying crank front to back,then check the feeler. Sorry this stuff kinda pours out to someone i think really understands. Keep up the good work !

Thanks Shane! I’ve used the plastigauge in the past. I typically trust my machinist. He’s been doing all the work for my dad and for me in the last many years. However, I did check the inner rod bearings diameter after bolting together and compare it the journal of the crank. I believe the rot is .001 per inch of shaft diameter

Thanks Greg. I cut it for time concerns. I wrapped that crank in black tape about 4 rounds. Not so much that the vice grips can slip, just enough to keep it from marring the snout. I then locked the vice grips in a way that mated them up against the keyway of the crank. Careful then to lock the grips with the appropriate amount of pressure to slightly dig the grips into the tape without hurting anything. I mostly spin the crank clockwise during the build to keep the grips against the keyway. That being explained, it would have taken 5 minutes for me to articulate that to the viewers in the video. Some won’t understand, others won’t agree with the method, and the rest are fine with it. One thing it does do is prove that the rotating assembly moves freely and is well lubricated. Thanks for the support. I will consider this in my next build series 👍🏼

something else you can do to make sure the cylinder is perfectly round is place the top rings in 3 levels of the cylinder and shine a light up from the bottom to see if there is and gaps between the ring and cylinder walls 😎👍

Thanks Brother. It’s a pump gas motor. The dishes are because he didn’t want to spend 500$ more on pistons. Then 200$ more on boring and honing. This will be an excellent, no frills engine. Think of a 77 440 in a ram truck. It had 8/1 compression and a junk cam with low flowing heads and exhaust manifolds. This engine will have the best cam technology, aluminum high rise dual plane intake, headers, 800 cfm carb, and nicely ported heads. Going to be a good runner.

It’s really cool to see the careful steps you take when assembling a motor. I have never done any engine rebuilding, owned my Mopar 7 years and would love to be a part of the rebuild. I have a bone stock 400 bb out of a 73 charger in my 65 Coronet. Is there an advantage to a 413, 426 or 400 or is it really just preference? I just want a stoplight killer streetcar to run 13’s in Colorado.

@JustMoparJoe

Thanks brother! The 400 is loved by many because it had the largest bore out of all those mentioned. The downfall is they have low compression because they were smog motors. I’d you were to throw on some closed chambered heads, you’d be doing well. This owner actually got this 413 because he couldn’t find a 440, anywhere nearby for a decent price. Everyone has a preference usually. I’ve had them all except a 426.

Another great video! Love the detail. Do you check your clearances with plasti gauge or a micrometer? I was taught in the early 70s that the slot on the rod was to locate the bearing. Bearing crush would stop the bearing from turning. Rod and main bearing surface finish was important as well. Shiny surface usually meant bearing movement. Install of bearings needed to be on clean dry surface. I think you mentioned you dont run the oil pump to pre lube the engine any reason why? It lubes all the bearings and fills the lifters if you turn the crank at the same time. Just wondering?

@JustMoparJoe

3 жыл бұрын

I always always always prime my oil pumps before running an engine. Even turn it over and see oil pressure on the gauge. I won’t start one dry. I even try to turn out over the fewest amount possible to keep from wiping the lube from the cam. I used a meter to Look at these rod bearings before lubing. My machinist said I could bolt it together and go. It didn’t need checked. He was right in this case. Usually these stock style rebuilds don’t have to have the knats ass checking of tolerances. Especially if it was running great before tear down, like this one. I’ve used plastigauge in the past. I have a 512 stroker coming up in the next few weeks. It’ll get the full Monty! 🤣
