I realize you’re a very smart guy but the thing I admire about you the most is how meticulous you are. I usually watch youtube videos and don’t always subscribe to channels, I just realized also I can’t remember you asking anyone to subscribe to your channel unlike most people usually just bombard viewers to subscribe. Keep up the good work man because there’re a lot of people in this world who’re selfish with knowledge or just don’t know how to impart it.

    I am rebuilding an BMW N62 it uses the Alusil block. My machinist bored and honed with the felt pads/sunnen paste. He went out to the looser end of the piston to wall clearance specification, as we intend on supercharging it after a proper break in. We went .5 mm oversize with the pistons purchased directly from BMW, these oversized piston kits came with their rings pre installed. I would rather not remove them so I purchased one set of the .5 mm piston rings to check end gap with them and hopefully the machinist set the wall clearance correctly. I just hope i don’t need to marry each piston to a cylinder as I asked him about doing this and he said it was not necessary due to the fact that BMW is very accurate on their machining processes. Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks for the awesome video, I am building my channel as well.

    Very nice vid. Might add that mineral spirits is what one want to use. Here in sweden it often is called lacknafta. But there is often no distiction between mineral spirit and terpentine. One must make sure to usen the mineral kind since it does not leave any resudue behind like the terpentine version does. Not sure if this confusion exist in other countries than Sweden. Also another youtuber called jafro recommend using coffee filters for cleaning. He has real ocd when it comes to cleaning..😅 The tip on the dead end in the oil passage on the crank was a good tip. Never thought of that..

    I have a Ford 351W block that was machined, washed with soap and water, and already has the cam bearings and freeze plugs installed. It has been stored away for over 7 years because I had gotten sick and while in storage it has collected a bit of surface rust even after spraying some WD40 gel spray and regular spray after washing and drying 7 yrs ago. I really want to finish what I started and hopefully prevent from taking the block back to the machine shop as money is now tight. How can I go about cleaning the minimal surface rust that is on the cylinder bores and block deck?

    In old time manufactures purposely kept blocks outside for few weeks to rust them. It is technology how to make "hone" without honing. Because rust actually creates pits and valleys in right conditions. Also, rust doesn't change geometry so fast. Speed of rust propagation into material is like 100 micrometers/year. So, even inside salty water iron will rust less than 1 micron in 24h. And typical size of valleys after honing is few microns.

    I washed out the cylinders on my very first turbo build after notching them to fit my new forged rods - it started rusting in SECONDS. I sprayed it down with WD-40 really quick, but you could still see a tiny bit of surface rust. So I wiped them down as shown in the video and then they looked nice and clean. The build worked out great with no problems in the end. Still.... I couldn't believe how fast those iron sleeves can rust.

Kills me to see that cause you know all that metal dust and dirt in general is just going into that engine built or not. If have something in an area of contamination. Wrap it up multiple times I've seen stuff get past those engine bags. Even when I pull an engine for future builds I tape off the intake and exhaust or turbo inlets. Anything that would be left open tape it up. Could save you alot of head ache in the future.

    You can use your air compressor, but when finished, simply spray down completely with WD40. Badda bing, badda bip!!!... no more water!! And BTW, for those of you working with cast iron blocks, you absolutely do not want to let any water stand anywhere! Unplug all oil galleries, blow out with compressed air, get it all outta there asap, then spray down heavily with WD40. Last thing you want is rust in your oil galleries flowing into your bearings, unless that's the effect you're looking for, but I highly doubt it. P.S. Oil galleries. 😉
