Great video mate. Just gotta say for those of you doing your first engine builds. Measure everything if your replacing bearings etc. Make sure the clearances are correct. If your going to tear an engine down clean everything til you could eat off it then clean it again. If you are going to clean off your deck surfaces don't do it with any of the rotating bits still in the block. It's easy for grit and crud etc to get down beside the piston and cylinder wall. Not here to have a go at anything done here , it's not my engine. But if your going this far you don't wanna pull the engine back out if it's scored the bores or the bearings are too tight or it's got low oil pressure. Good luck lads . Hope to see how this engine turns out once it's running.
Thanks for watching and for the rad comment! You're absolutely right! This build took so long to finish because i had to clean and check over and over again. The cams and rockers were filthy from being left on my bench for weeks, even though they were covered they were still filthy from dirt and dust. I realized when i was using the finishing stone on the deck it would've been better to finish it when the pistons were out, after replacing the rod bolts so many times i didn't want to remove everything again, so i had to spend almost an entire day cleaning the bores. I don't want to mislead anyone, I'm definitely not an experienced engine builder or mechanic, i just want to learn and its comments like this that help myself and others watching! Thanks again!
Love your videos mate! really well presented! its awesome to see you having a crack and putting it out for everyone to see and learn off. Hats off to ya for learning in public mate! Keep em coming!
Nice work mate! Thanks for uploading. I’m building a bf xr6t circuit car at the minute. Really going back and forth on doing the ring gaps. It’s a job I could handle easy I’m just not sure it’s required for 350ish rwkw (through a T56) I’m aiming for. I do have two spare green tops on the shelf, I’m torn as part of me doesn’t want to blow it up when I’m out and Winton or the island and waste half a day, and the other half doesn’t want to let the magic out of a $204 Jollys special 😄
@@EverythingFuzzY It's a pleasure and understand work load so no frequent videos. Would you consider a paid project if there was not a time restraint? I tried looking you up to ask on other social media platforms but couldn't find you. Let me know if it's worth your while. Thanks
@Padma Dorjee would definitely consider it! I’ve only recently joined other social media pages but feel free to email me info@everythingfuzzy.com.au So we can discuss your project! Thanks!
Nice video mate, anything you would do differently or could you you lend any hindsight advice as i blew my turbo block and looking at going down the same route as you

Nice work mate cheers
Thanks!
Awesome vid ! Great content !
Thanks for watching!
Hey mate good video once again! By Gapping the Greentop rings to factory turbo specs. You now can tune the engine on 98Ron?
Good vids mate!
Did you reuse the conrod bearings?
Any reason for fitting the sump before the feont cover?
Great video mate! Where did you source the new rod bolts from? I can’t find any! Cheers
Thanks for watching! I get the rod bolts from a Ford dealership, spare parts counter. They always have them in stock.
New to the channel cool videos keep up hard work
Thanks for watching!
Fyi, put the timing cover on first before the sump. Much easier than fighting it trying to get it in. Great video none the less.
Thanks for watching and for the tip, I’ll try it that way next time!
great to see a backyarder having a go, did you drill and tap the sump for the oil line??
Best way to learn! Yeah, i did, i'll include that footage in my next video as part of the turbo fitting process.
fkn sick video
Thanks for watching!
where did you get the rod bolts from?
Hey mate, i just got them a Ford dealership from their spare parts counter.
Hey mate what type of pad were you using on the head to clean it
I took the head to a shop and had it machined, but on the deck surface i used a knife sharpening stone. Thanks for watching!
Thanks mate first time doing a head gasket on my daily your videos have been a great help
Dont instal sealings ona paint. Sand the surface before instal. I got lot of problem i this case.
Thanks for the tip! Haven't had any leaks yet, hopefully it stays that way.
Hey mate do you have a link for the conrod bolts
Hey bud, no sorry i just bought them over the counter at a Ford dealership spare parts department!
@@EverythingFuzzY thanks mate I’ll give that a try. Love the videos keep up the great work
@@EverythingFuzzY glad you got your channel back mate did you get standard barra rings or did you get gas Barra rings cheers mate
@@aussiefellaelvin9139 Thanks bro! i just reused the original rings that were in the motor
@@EverythingFuzzY cheers mate love the content hope to see more soon 👌
