lots more to come on the 258, hang in there

You have forgotten more than I will ever know. Your knowledge of all this and your level of perfection continue to amaze me. Good stuff here Brian. I look forward to following this 258 to the engine stand.

Always good to see things done differently,very interesting

I enjoy watching your videos. I have learned a lot about Jeeps from you. I will be referring to them when I rebuild my transmission and transfer case. You do real nice work. Keep the videos coming, I want to learn more.

@@metalshaperJeep I have been working on cars and motorcycles most of my life, I have also done a bit of machine work. I like the information that you provide about old Jeeps.

Great video with great tech details, hope the new 258 is in good shape, nice seeing the CJ5 coming along as well.

I am hoping the new 258 is a good one as well. I got it for a great deal but it is stuck and hasn't turned over for many years. Just need a good crank so hopefully it will come apart without too much trouble.

I did some heads when in high school for a speed shop using the old stone method. A few years ago I was doing all the head work for an engine rebuilding shop. All new equipment. I really learned a lot about head work from tonight's video. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

Not a lot of folks do the kind of things I do and this modification is one of them. Takes a lot of work to get Chevy valves in a Jeep head but the power is amazing when it is done correctly. More to come soon.

Nice kit and an interesting approach, cheers Brian

G'day Brian. Thats going to be a good strong engine once it's built. Would make a good work horse for towing. 👍🏻🍻

Yes it is going to have more horsepower and a lot more torque with the upgrades I am doing. Hopefully I can steal enough time to get things done in a timely manner and get this on a test stand soon. More to come

Thank you. Nice video, a lot of work. How much hp's increase with that ?

Great video Brian, lots of interesting info there. I would to kill to have a shop like yours! If you don't mind me asking, where did you learn how to do all this machine work? If you are like me, you just learn by doing. I remember when I was probably 6 or 7 years old, passing tools to my dad when he was working on his pickup, which by the way was a 1959 Willys!. I rebuilt my first engine solo when I was about 12. Great job, looking forward to the next video.

Thanks Jeff, glad you enjoyed the video. When I was young I had the opportunity to work with a lot of older, experienced mechanics and always asked a lot of questions and was willing to try anything. Many years later and with the help of great machinery I am turning out great engines, transmissions, transfer cases, body tubs, etc.....etc...... to people all over the world. More videos on the way.

Brian... I am very interested in the American motor 258 CI modifications you do.

Lots more work on the cylinder head coming soon

Brian Mat's body tub and chassis looks very shiny like new. I really want to see the V6 4.3 L because it fits my CJ5 if I ever wanted to exchange my 134F head engine.

More to come on the 4.3. It fits perfectly into a CJ5 and makes lots of power.

I'm not going to comment on which idea is right or wrong. The way I understand this is that the umbrella type seal is supposed to allow a certain amount of oil down between the guide and valve stem. The positive seal is supposed to stop all oil going down. Supposedly, if you are using something like a phosphor-bronze or oil-holding guide, you can use the positive seals. If you're using cheaper, regular bronze guides, some oil down there will keep them from wearing too much. In theory, you can can have something that uses no oil and lasts a long time, or you can have something that uses a little oil but lives 'forever'. That's my understanding. YMMV and all that.

Hmm looks similar to a jeep I had. - 258 6 cylinder - 380 Holley, 4 barrel Offenhauser intake, Hooker headers that were dual exhaust that followed the firing order, spaghetti tubes…..

Update? Did you finish and use the head? Got dyno numbers?

I’ve been into Jeeps my whole life and have never seen the Chevy valve install. I’m really excited to see how you get some power out of this 258. How would you compare what you’re going to build to those 4.7 liter stroker motors I used to see in the back of JP magazine?

The chevy valve installation really opens up the head and allows it to make much more power. There has always been a lot of talk about the stroker motors and they do make good power. The 4.0 head is a good option if you have no skills or tools to make performance upgrades. I like the 258 head and by massaging it and installing a cam and increasing the compression ratio I can get more horsepower and torque than the stroker recipe. What you have to remember is there are people who make power by adding bolt on items, and then there are people like me who understand how a engine operates and find ways to improve and make more power. More videos to come.

Been too busy to watch,,my creators latly, so up burning midnight oil to catch up watching videos. A shout out to all,, and may we all be safe and healthy though out 2022,,Bear & Sammie in TX, OH, Brian,, tell Joey if ever in or near Boyd, pop in,,,any customer of yours or friend is welcome,,!
