@Rene Stanneveld new here eh?

LOL just finished a midterm to find you guys just released this. . . that's what I call perfect timing 🤙

As a trade-qualified engine reconditioner, I like how you work, good job. One of the things I think that's worth mentioning when you bolt this together would be about the shape of the bearings before they are torqued on the mains and the rods. I've lost count of the people who have had their crank ground, took everything home, only to come back angrily the next day because their crank was either tight or wouldn't spin because they hadn't torqued the bearings down. It's usually quite embarrassing for them after you've sat back and copped abuse from them only to install the crank in front of their eyes and it spins beautifully. Great videos, keep em coming!

Well it’s good to see someone at Thirlby understands the concept of thermal expansion. I was waiting to see if they were going to just pound the wrist pins through the rods & pistons with a 5 lb sledge. 😆

Really great basic stuff. I wish this would have been available 50 years ago when I was trying to understand what crank clearance even meant. I can only imagine the bump in knowledge this generation is getting. Of course they'll be applying their smarts to electric cars, wind turbines and rockets to other planets.

yeah as a zoomer i do sometimes wish i was born in the late 90s. Life was way simpler back then especially when it comes to cars. now engine bays resemble spaghetti more then what old engine bays used to look like. Also seen a diagram which showed how much wireing there is on a modern and it came to around 3 - 4km or 2.2 - 3.2miles of cables. as compared to 300m or 620feet 40 years ago.

Just a simple, badass technical video 😯

Thanks for the update.

I'm watching you from Iraq🇮🇶💋🥰

Sir, you are truly a wise person!!

Back in the 80's, was working at a machine shop, guy I was working with, took the shop truck to pick up an engine (Big block Chevy, complete). He set the engine in the back of the shop truck bed, at the tail gate, didn't tie it down. Was involved in an accident, rear-ended a stopped car. That engine came through the cab of the truck and imbedded it's self in the dashboard ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (lucky AF). Moral of the story, always put the engine at the front of the bed, against the cab and tie it down!

I love this kind of thing. So interesting!

A little late to the party, but thank you for this. I've been preparing to replace the rod bearings in a 3.5 5 cyl engine.

great progress

Hoping to go see "Mikey" this summer myself finally. I have an LQ9 that's gonna get some go fast goodies and installed this year, I I can get enough pennies together. Thanks.

Nice work!

here's an old machinist trick for your telescoping gauge or indicator dial face, if you set your zero at .010 plus or minus the zero on the dial,dont matter witch one, a .002 move will read .012 or .008. takes away any confusion , or mistakes .

@SocietyUnplugged

Write down the readout on the dial not the diameter. Most important is that the readout is correctly written down, wrong calculations on paper can easily be spotted by recalculating everything or QC.

Great job man greetings from mexico i m your fan

When I assemble an engine, I use anti-aeize on the rod stud or bolt. I put it on prior to assembly of the caps. I have had past issues as the ros nut/bolt has backed off from the application of lube between the nut and rod cap. I tend to try to keep the clamping surfaces clean and lubrication free. Lube on the threads is fine, but I would make a point to keep the nut clamping surface dry as much as possible. May want to check with ARP. Love the content. Keep up the great work.

Boring bar looks exactly like the one Dad had in his tractor shop back in the 70s.

Yeah, this is really machine shop stuff. Every shop I ever used, checks for themselves anyways. But it does not hurt.

when I read some comments in these video or other some mention his country .. I'm from Jordan Middle East .. any way great job you done .

so glad to see you not using a torque plate on both the bore and the honing I tried it with and with out torque plate and found that the distortion from head torque did not make the out of round spec's every body thinks it does. I'll never use one again

Thank you

Que perfeccionismo!!!👏👏👏🤜🤜🤜

Perfeito sou retificador também acho muito bacana esse trampo

wondering why you don't mic the bearings with a ball mic? You just have to mic the rod, mic the crank, subtract the difference between the crank and rod, and add the bearing thickness, subtract that number and the differencee is the oil clearance. Just the way i was taught in the machine shop, but i never see anyone using a "Ball Mic" in any videos on youtube. Ive built over 1000 engines in my day and NEVER had a bearing clearance problem, but i did run into miss marked bearings /cranks/rods in some of those engines . Great channel, Thanks

One day! Imma build an engine!

Have you guys done any videos on how you set up your shop? The philosophy of each work area? Bench and box locations relative to each other? Large tool locations, air and power locations and type? Hose reel locations? The general layout of your shop for specific tasks. Thanks.

How heavy of a cut can you take? How much do you take on cleanup if multiple passes?

Expansion rate due to temperature increase for steel is about .001in per inch per 100 degrees F.

ARP indicates that lube should NOT be used underneath the washer or on the surface underneath the washer. It is not in the instructions that come with the bolts, but ARP will suggest that the bottom of the washer can be sanded rough, to Increase grip of the washer on the block or rod, to ensure proper torque values.

knowledgeable, meticulous.

why werent yall honing the bore with a torque plate? isnt that a relatively easy way to ensure the final bore size is accurate to what it will be with heads on it?

👍🏾

Doesn’t sound boring at all

Why start at 30 over bore? Back in the day you could go 10, 20 or 30 over and 40, 50 and 60 over was considered new block time.

Were all the big end measurements all the same?

For the oil clearance, you wanted 0.002" right. So shouldn't you subtract 0.004" total so both 'ends' of the hole have 0.002" of oil clearance? Am I thinking wrong?

@markk3652

3 жыл бұрын

You're partway correct, but you have to be able to visualize what actually happens as the two parts interact. The journal on the crankshaft never stays in the actual center of the rod bore as the engine is turning. It is always slightly off center as it induces rotational motion and the rod converts it to linear motion. That shift happens throughout tbe revolution of the crank journal, as the rod gets pushed upwards for compression strokes, and tben transfers around as the piston is pulled down for intake strokes. That 2 thousandths clearance is constantly and fluidly compensated by the hydrodynamic wedge of motor oil to keep concentricity of the clearance. Hope my explanation helps, and I didn't sound too much like Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory.

I didn't find this boring at all! You should be a little easier on yourselves.

The AERA Bible which any competent machine shop uses for specs list that engine rod crank journal size at 2.2488-2.2493. So minus .010 your are having the crank ground .0008(8 tenths of a thousand) under minimum spec. That seems really strange, either your measurement/ math is off or those inserts aren't specific to that application or the rod bores weren't honed to the correct size. .002 clearance is also on the large end of the spectrum for a stock build.
