This is how I rebuild a engine. I am working on a dodge 5.9 360 but I use pretty much the process on most engines.

If it wasn't for KZread this kind of video just wouldn't be out there, thank you for taking the time to make it.
Agg man I'm glad someone posted this. The magnum one of the most overlooked motors out there
Excellent editing, I really like your respect for the viewers' time.
Excellent video, I'm about to pull engine from my Grand Cherokee and was a little bit hesitant, now thanks to your video, I'm looking forward to the job! Big thumbs up from a 318 magnum owner from Czech Republic...

Considering this process and found you 1st in a google search. Great job here. All the basics! Been a lifetime since I did a rebuild!
Thank you sir, you have one of the only videos that is in depth about this generation of the 360/318 and this makes me feel more comfortable with taking on my 318 rebuild with a idea of what to expect and how to do it.
You did a fantastic job. Everyone's a critic on here.

What's the best Dodge pick up truck for driving in the Colorado mountains
makes me feel better about building my 408 stroker myself
I'm building a 5.9 Magnum right now for a classic Mopar. This video is pretty thorough! Hope you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed watching it! Thanks man! =]
Thank you so much for posting this and going through an explanation for each step of the process. It’s much appreciated!
Dude!! awesome video. Inspirational. great information thanks for putting in all the work filming and posting.
holy hd. holy definition, thank you for a video with clarity
You make look so easy - can tell that you have been doing this type of work for a while. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant work mate, this was spot on. Just enough talk, just enough footage. It came together fantastic and the way you talk makes the listener tune in and focus. I had my eyes and ears glued to the screen.
What a great video!!! Thank you for making it and taking the time to do such a thorough job!
Awesome shots and details! I'm rebuilding my 5.2 right now and this helped make things MUCH more clear. Thanks!
Outstanding!! Love the 360
This video is going to be a great reference when I do my cam.
you give a guy confidence, thanks so much!
Ditto... thank you for making this video. Now i will be able to rebuild my 360 with confidence.
I learned a couple things, here today. Thanks for that. It's not everyday that I learn something I can use.
SUPERB VIDEO!!! I need to rebuild the engine in my own ram and this is about the most complete video I have seen. You should be the new host of engine power on spike...
I have the same engine and am considering rebuilding it. this is a very solid helpful and informational video. very good work

Truly Impressive work, great attention to detail, love your attention to lube and gaps
I loved the video, I have a v6 3.9l I want to rebuild but there's nothing I can find until this, it was very informative and easy to understand, and I appreciate the work into the video as well as your engine
Wow! You made me feel like I did all that work flawlessly. Thanks. I'm exhausted.
This is going to help a lot man, doing my first engine build on my 360 wish me luck!!!
Good video, only rebuilt an early LA engine years ago, with the help of my dad and brother. They are both licenced mechanics. In the late 80's had a speed shop build my 340, for my 57 D100. Had numerous issues with the rebuild from the speed shop. Intake valve stuck open. Bent push rod, collapsed lifter. Constant oil leak from the oil filter. Small dent in the filter mounting plate. Had no bottom end torque, blamed the purple shaft cam. But it was installed 5 degrees off. Now days, found a good machine shop, but do the assembly myself, with the help from my brother.

You are exactly right the purple shaft from MOPAR require a 5° offset key or it will be just like you say NO bottom end.
Wow man it’s truly amazing that you can do this job and make it look so easy I have learned a lot and hope to be able to do this job soon enough
I admire your skill and confidence, great job.
Watching this video made my job alot easier for me instead of going through the internet to find all the torque specs for this 360 engine I have learned a lot from this how you did this and that is so cool how you had it done that was awesome 👍
I'm a huge fan of the technical terms used in this video, such as "Squiggly ones"
Great video! I love learning all the little details. Thanks!
great vid...simple step by step....great way to learn for a backyard mechanic
I just picked up a 98 ram 1500 ss/t 360 magnum, and this is going to help my restore alot, thanks for this video video
That was a great video very detailed and to the point. I just bought a 99 dodge ram 5.9l would love to rebuild the engine
Thanks for the great video. My 85 360 is in the machine shop and should be finished in about a week. I'll begin assembling as soon as I get it. Its going in my 85 ram charger which has a 318.
Really informative, I have a 98 Dodge ram. Thank you.
Thanks for this video! I rebuilt a LA 360 and dropped it in my 71 Duster!!
Awesome video. Great work. Most videos like this are either too short with not enough content or they drag on and on. Perfect.
I have a 1993 318 Magnum with 192,000 on it running fantastically.. This video is invaluable in seeing all the parts, their spacial shapes and how they work together. I know what to expect replacing a rear main seal.

I think most common issue on this motor is the plenum pan leak and the valve springs get a lot of slack over time.
Amazing job man! 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing your knowledge

This is awesome, Im about to an engine swap on my Ram 1500, and this is giving me motivation. just going to open the block and replace some parts first and then give it a go
Awesome video! I got a '97 5.2 318, and I've been looking for stuff on how to do a rebuild. Will definitely be referencing this.
probably best one I've seen
Very nice. I like your accurate working style.
Bad ass and very helpful video I'm gonna rebluid one for my truck now I can use this video to guide me thru thx brotha
I love this I have the 318 Mopar on the bench also the 5.9 both R Mopars your great keep the videos coming I am enjoying them thank you very much

Dart swinger for life \m/ I just snagged a '72 with an LA 360 in it, already ordered the striker kit for it. Best engine imo to daily drive reliably with great street strip power.

I concur I've got a 71 Swinger with a 360 in it. Still runs strong, saving up to do a rebuild the right way and get her up in the 400+ HP range. No idea where it's at now, don't want to dyno something that's going to get whacked but I'm guessing around 300. These motors are amazing and I can't wait to tear into mine and get going.

AWESOME build, I built mine back in 1985.....fyi...I NEVER GROUND DOWN THE SEALING...LOL, to date its still running strong in my challenger....which is now EFI...MOPAR 4 EVER.
Very well done. Thank you. Enjoy the new enging
Nice video. You do good work and give an honest explanation of what you are doing. Well done, sir. 😁
your videos are great! keep up the good work!
im not building a dodge, but this was quite a helpful video, Thanks.
I learned a lot from videos like this one. Great job. For more in-depth details buy a book. Great job though!
Excellent vid thanks for posting!!
Good job making this video and thank you.
Great job and excellent video!
i really enjoyed the video thank you so much for you taking you time to make the video i am abut to do the exact same thing to my 360v8 5.9 l truck and was a little nervous but it doesn't seem to hard as long as i follow the rues thanks for the confidence !!!
Nice video - right to the point. The only thing I would do different is pre-oil the engine with a home made oil pump adapter (who knows, you can probably buy a tool for this, but I made my own years ago). Before putting in the distributor cam gear, (the oil pump is driven by a hex shaped key on the shaft), I use a longer piece of rod that has the right size hex key welded to it and put it in a drill to freely operate the oil pump and ensure oil is flowing through all the rockers, etc. before firing up the engine.
I wish your where my neighbor, I need to do that yo my dakota ,great video thxs
Hey man loved watching your video very inspirational... my dakota rt needs a nice rebuild like you did there. Keep on man !
**** !!!! When installing timing cover...ONLY TIGHTEN BOLTS FINGER TIGHT!!!... THEN install harmonic balancer which kinda aligns cover.... and AFTER that torque down timing cover bolts... This makes sure the rotary shaft seal rides correctly on the crank snout...not tilted, producing an oil leak.... Greetz from Germany
your awesome man! I learned alot! thank you!
I’ve grown up around engines but I’ve never been able to fully rebuild one. I know quite a bit for being only 18, but the specifics and the little things of actually assembling an engine from the block up, I was unclear about. This video helped clear a lot of things up so thank you! Its still going to be awhile but I’m planning on building a 360 magnum destroyed with a welded and reground 318 crank (makes a 340) and I’m going to have the magnum heads redrilled to run a Weiand tunnel ram with either dual 450 holleys, or a dual 4 EFI setup. It’s all going in my daily driven 71 Dodge D100 short bed, with a built A833 with overdrive, 3.55 suregrip, no power steering. Thanks again for the video, it’s helped a TON. -Statik
Tyvm for the video and thank you for your service.
I pl;an on just putting a new top end on my existing 318 but this video still helped
Good Work, ENJOY. We Are So Happy THAMKYOU!!!!!!!!
Im about to do the same today! However, I soaked my lifters in oil for 24 hours before putting them in.
mcm95403 comments are on the money. I don't think he is trying to tear MrOffAndOn down, he is just adding good tips and best practices to help people. He isn't making degrading comments or being mean at all. Looking thru the comments and replies, I see a lot of comments by people that think that MrOffAndOn's video is so awesome, that no one should be allowed to give any sort of additional or critical comment. Don't want to own any engine that those people might put together.
When you install those rubber ream mail seals, you're supposed to rotate the seal so that 3/8" or so is up on one side and down on the other side. That way the two halves of the seal (the first place pressurized oil will leak through) aren't at the parting line of the main cap.

Great video I used copper spray instead of rtv on mine

Wow man I’m over here worried about taking my cylinder head off haha. Make it look easy good job.
Excellent video. You make it look simple. Well explained commentary. I hope you made some coin on this video. New subscriber.
Excellent video
That was a good build. I was glad to see red valve covers. Dodge use to paint the entire engine red way back in the day. I would have liked to see the truck, and also would have liked to see you drive it a bit.
You make it look easy
Wow excellent video
I have 318 that I'm planning to rebuild Thank u
That Cam shaft is a lot easier to put in and a lot les chance of damaging the cam bearings if you will install it before the crankshaft and pistons are installed that way u can reach down inside the block and guide the cam shaft a lot more accurately minimizing chance of gouging the cam bearings with the lobes on the cam shaft
Damn, amazing attention to detail man. Great cautionary tricks along the whole way. You should charge good money for your services.
Excellent! Thank You.
It's hard to believe that this only took you 22 minutes! You could be the most profitable mechanic in the world!

1 3 some parts time looped but he is quick
My only criticisms are the use of the rtv on the timing cover and water pump. The gasket is enough though not much of a problem, just will clean up easier when the parts need servicing. Then I recommend a 3 stage torque sequence for the reads, crank, and rod bolts. like the head i would have started with 25ft ib, then 75ft ib, then the final. this is just so the bolts and everything are even. Otherwise. Great video. I liked and subbed
So just a thought. Since you already have the coolant drained, if you leave the fan off you can pull the radiator and use an impact wrench on the harmonic balancer bolt to turn the motor over and you don't risk any damage to the starter or wiring. I was taught this method as a kid and I've always found it safe and pretty easy.
Amazing video bro
You are magnific bro my respect love and peace beatyfull job bro
