Whatever floats your boat

Do you install the grooved main bearings on top like that ? ... hmm ...

Auto Correct ... concerning the rear main seal configuration ... Not correct ... you might get away with it like that in a Farrari but Not in a Big Block Chevy ... Sir , no disrespect and pardon the sarcasm if you will

Now I wasn't the world's greatest Farrari machanic in 2019 ... no distespect Sir but a 'galley' is on a ship wheteas an engine has ... galleries

Do you know where any 355’s are for sale, specifically with a blown engine?

What’s up man just subscribed to your channel, where did you get that table or whatever you’re using for holding the engine cradle ? Nice work btw

Great tip!! The books never tell you to do that😂

I can imagine the client is thrilled to see so much care & attention going into his car ! Great job 👏 🇬🇧

That's smart thinking my brother

Wow, what a consummate professional. Most interesting. Greetings from England ... 🇬🇧

Nick, the tolerance relating to alignment and angularity bwteen the lifter bucket -vs- valve stem will be a key factor in premature valve guide wear. Buckets are always tough to work with and as a designer the juggling act is between keeping in compact or making it efficient. Often the aluminum parts distort when tightened or in operation and that also effects alignments and the tolerance stacks. I have had a fair bit to do with design, but this is the first deep dive into a Ferrari engine and its super interesting to see their approach to many of the block and various components/assemblies design elements.

You are confused about the evenness of the firing pulses. Whether it's a cross plane or a flat plane, on a V8 engine, they will both have a firing Pulse every 90° of Crank rotation.

lol thought we all did stay chevy orange my friend 👍🏻🇺🇸😎

I do the rotating assembly first. Only because I worry installing the rods andnpistons might scratch the cam lobes. But this is a pretty good idea

I do mine that way, Or standing on the bellhouseing surface.

Awesome work! Curious, is the plastic tarp above the car for dust control?

Crazy how heads don’t leak with this bolt system they have are those even torqued on spec and if yeas how he can’t even get a wrench in there

I thought this was how everyone did it. Guess not.

Since 1973 😂 I have installed my cams with the engine block in the vertical position. This is Not 😮 new Also lybe the cam bearing First.

Common sense

I had a problem with the cam bearings once and had to remove the entire rotating assembly. Ever since then I always install the cam first

I've been doing this for 40 years. Fires up on one-half rotation. The only stress on initial start-ups is looking for leaks and noises, not trying to get it to run.

A folding cart might be handing

Makes a lot of sense.

Umm, you could also stand the block on end. Helps

I hate it when you're smarter than me! 😆

Correct me if I'm wrong folks ,yes you can get #1 piston up on comp stroke & simply drop distributor in and where the rotor points at on cap ,u just wire it up according to it's firing order !! Yep on Chevys u can ,but you can't on a small block Ford engine on account of how the cylinders are "" lined up or stroke of the crank being a Ford isn't ,on 1 side like a Chevy 1,2,3,4, on one side of engine ,5,6,7,8 on opposite side !! A Ford is completely different,facing front of engine on Rt side is #1 then you go across to other side & get #2 cylinder,& back & forth ,so on 1 side u have,1 ,3,5,7 & on opposite side u get #2,4,6,8

Install the cam vertically...even better. 😉

Very good job of teaching this young gentleman, it appears that the old school iron will be in safe hand 😉

Good point it easy to chip the camshaft bearings if when giding the cam in you wiggle it to much!!!

Thanks

I've been doing this for 30 years. I see pros building engines on PowerBlock and many other shows that don't and I always wonder why?

I love this, there's so many things we can do to make it alot easier on ourselves but are to simple to ever notice great tip!!

That Chevelle is the most gorgeous car ever made.i had a 71 ss like that when I was 20 it had a 454 /4 speed 411 pois rear.mine was black with white leather interior

It all depends on what your using the engine for.

We used to do that in the 70's then put it on the old Oscilloscope to do the rest.

Never had a problem with nicked or damaged cam lobes/bearing when installing it later. Some people get a feel for it, some don't.

YEP!! Works a champ. You can also put more cam lube on once it is planted this way.

Nice job! Good eye kid!

Lol. It's a SBC stop overthinking it. Stevie wonder could tell by looking at the vacuum advace location if the timing is close enough to start. If it's a new motor with a hyd cam or ya think the battery might be weak eyeball a little tard into it.

Cool trick dude thanks!

I built an engine for a kid who saw a video like this to put the cam In first but didn't tell me. so I come in later turn the engine from right side up to upside down to install crank. Then I heard clint clank clink. The cam slid out the back and ruined the rear cam bearing with the distributor gear teeth. So watch out for dunderheads

Cannot see the detail of what you are doing

That engine won't last long

Awesome!

How did you remove those pins for the hand hole studs that you had to hammer back in? Any special tool?

Why have I never done this!? It makes so much more sense😂

Simple properties in relation to physics

Nick......glad.is.all.going well Stoked you have.a. channel

When you understand how it “works” it can almost always be improved. I always say it’s the difference between smart and intelligent
