      Are you concerned about clearances when everything heats up from the machining operations?
      All those minor saw cuts in the bushing area are known as stress concentrations in the engineering word. They’re know as areas where cracks start.

    • @DracoOmnia
      @DracoOmnia Рік тому +3

      ​@@johnmar7701 he had mentioned that he would be concerned if the scratch was anywhere else but since it was right in the middle of the beam it should be fine.

    • @DracoOmnia
      @DracoOmnia Рік тому +1

      Right?! If I was even remotely sure my local shop went to this level of effort and detail to get everything just right then I wouldn't balk for a moment at the prices... But no, not only am confident they don't but every shop in the area is also confident they don't, but they are the only game in town so they know they can get away with it. Frustrating.

    When I think of how I used to consider myself a mechanic, all I can do is shake my head in wonderment after watching your videos. I used to "overhaul" an engine by stuffing new rod and main bearings in it, throw new rings on the pistons (sometimes I'd even de-carbonize the ring lands!) and if the valves weren't literally rattling in the guides, I'd call it done. It's a good thing I only worked on my own stuff.

  • @bluetoes591

    I don't know if I'll ever have the need or opportunity to rebuild an engine or have it rebuilt, but I just have to tell you it is so neat to see just how exacting you can measure and precisely change the size of materials with your machinery and skill. A tenth of the width of a human hair! INCREDIBLE

    As a dealership technician who's been turning wrenches for a living pushing 30 years, that was an excellent video. Extremely informative. It is actually mind numbing how different measurements there are, inside of every engine and engine moving part that needs to be within a certain specification. Employed at various dealerships for the number of years as I have, I replaced a lot of and assembled a lot of engines in my time. But all these measurements being discussed and the methods with which they are corrected as needed, using all those machines is not anything I would ever have thought of. In this particular video I was impressed with the discussion and demonstration of how a connecting rod is brought back to specification. Great job!!! 👍

    Your machinery and measuring tools and fixtures are terrific. With your skills and talents, they produce great results. I'm glad I watched this video after I've reassembled my small block Ford engine after a fine local machine shop bored it and fit my pistons and rods. Otherwise, I'd be so nervous that I was doing something in error.

    The amount of knowledge and experience always baffles me. Too bad we can't store a person's conscience and knowledge in a "digital think tank" for future generation's reference. Maybe many mistakes in many facets of human life wouldn't be made or at least not so often (it's what I like to tell myself anyway).
    Hard to stop watching a skilled worker doing it's work.
    P.S: The Cook did a great job with the camera. 👌😊

    Really nice to see someone put a bushing in right. Like SB and BBC were they use pressed in pins in the small end of the rod. When I raced I always used pressed in pins in the small end of the rod. I think they are better. In a bushing setup you get more rock in the small end of the rod. If you use the GM tool to put in press in pins you never had a problem. Most machine shops just press the bushing in then hone for clearance. Thats were problems start.

    You guys exemplify why a properly machined and rebuilt engine is usually many times better than a "brand new" crate engine.
    With your engines, nothing is taken for granted - all parts are measured, checked, and tolerances adjusted for intended use or condition.
    With new parts on the assembly line, "Joe Six-Pack" bolts on the fenders just like the boss told him to do... the parts must be OK, 'cause they're brand-new, and if I don't slam together 20 units an hour I'll get fired".
    It is so refreshing to see perfectly salvageable parts being reconditioned, hard-earned skills being passed down, and your quality work ethic not being compromised - especially in today's "disposable" society!

  • @matthewcox1122
    @matthewcox1122 11 місяців тому
