Hard to find this level of professionalism today.
Yup impossible. Better off buying a new motor now.
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.
@@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.
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.
Although the only engine we've seen in use after fix broke after few Km
No stupid nonsense.
Understandable explanations.
No thousand cuts in the video or jumping back and forth.
I love your channel!
That cleaning guy is a keeper! Hard worker that is willing to go late in the night. You should definitely keep him! Great video, keep up the great work
I am amazed at the number of hours of excellent, meticulous work you put into restoring these old engines. It's a pleasure to watch you work, and it must be a pleasure for your customers to receive the benefits of your workmanship.
Your cleaning guy (father) and the cook (mother) have got to be proud of you; after all, that’s what parents do.😊
That cleaning guy deserves a raise! Hes been learning a lot lately! 😅
Cleaning guy looking sharp with the new haircut! Some more lovely machining work there, I have never seen con rods trued before, nice touch.
That cleaning guy knows his stuff!
I could listen to that Cleaning Guy teach me about automotive machining all day.
No funny business, just straight up high quality machining and assembly. My respects to you guys!
100% love the appreciation for being a do-it-yourself person, and that others are also.
Wonderful to watch, and I'll bet the customer was overjoyed to see the actual work being done on their engine.
I was a manual machinist mostly hydraulic cylinders and pumps with job shop to break the monotony. What you guys possess is a lost art, straightening that rod with such precision 😳. Enjoy your videos thanks.
Being surrounded by all that machinery that could kill you in an instant….I would never expect the attack to come from a pesky hand drill 😂
On a serious note. This has to be the best channel for your field of work. Total admiration for the professionalism and pride in your work.
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.
Wow, despite the vertical video this was top notch, informative stuff. Love the precision by feel, unbending and untwisting the rods.
Never knew how much work went into properly rebuilding rods. Thanks for the lesson!
Being professional at you job is good, but when you add in all the years of knowledge and experience you elevate to the true craftsmanship class, and this is what we are all seeing here on this channel. Keep up the wonderful work guy's, you sure made a silk purse out of a sows ear on this one.
Many thanks

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
Nice job from the cook and the cleaning guy!
Watching the cleaning guy work that dial bore gauge was magical.
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!!! 👍
That cleaning guy is pretty smart. Great work!
You have taught that cleaning guy well! He seems to know his shit! Impressive!
You guys do awesome!
Never seen anybody take so much care and take so many steps to insure good machine shop work. Nice to watch.
The "cleaning guy" always teaches me so much and I'm constantly learning, but not sure about the "cook" LOL. Just kidding of course, absolutely enjoy your videos.
Wow, surprised to see DRIVEN, it's all I've ever used in our shop! Good deal guess I'm a REAL professional now lol!Stay blessed guys🤙🇺🇸🇷🇺
Cleaning guy knows his stuff! 😂
Always enjoy your videos. I don't know if you can grasp what I'm about to say - but here goes. The relationship you share is something most of us can only dream about. You are both extraordinarily fortunate.
You guys never cease to amaze me, you have a tool or jig to test everything. Enjoyable as usual boys 👍
Thanks for helping in the shop mom❤
I would love to hang out around a shop like this a few hours a week as i got time to learn more.
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.
My standing comment on UA-camr video oddities: I know your not Spielberg, I'm here for the content!
While about 99% of this is far beyond my knowledge of vehicles. This has become one of my favorite channels to watch.
Why cant I find professionals like this near me. I cant find Machine shops, Transmission shops that are worth a flip in my neck of the woods.
Bravo guys it makes me happy knowing old school skill like this is still alive.
Always great to see things get done correctly and without compromise. Thanks for another excellent video and greetings from Germany.
Excellent knowledge shared about the small end of the rod reconditioning as well as bend and twist. You guys are amazing at what you do.
I really love how some people are still loyal to their job and conscience working that accurately and cleanly 🙏
Takes me back to my high school days. Sunnen CV-616's are great machines. Your video's got me throught some down time. Thanks!
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. 👌😊
Very nice. If I needed this kind of work done I know where I’d go.
Edit- holy cow I never once considered a rod being bent or twisted and being able to correct it like that.
I have not watched anywhere on YT, Mill Works / Machining with such care and attention to details, add in the explanations of what, why and how you are machining. For JamSi sake and they have earned your subscription... remember everyone... subscribing is free... come on people not only is the cleaning guy machining, they even have the cook involved too
Great job getting this one back together for your customer.
It always amazes me though, the amount of hammering it takes to assemble an engine lol
Your dad is amazing!
your dad is AMAZINGLY detailed! he shows a freaking TON of experience!
wow
what a pleasure to watch such a skilled craftsman
Excellent tutorial and spoken instruction. Superb quality as always.
Lol, "the cook" 😅 love you guys
Great stuff. The cleaning guy is pretty good! LoL. I've never seen anyone hammer a cap onto a rod like that.
I watch a LOT of rebuild channels ad these guys are some of the most impressive, easily.
Nice to see that you let the apprentice do some machine work too, tell him he needs to be more careful when using the drill lol😊
i love watching this part of the work get done and all the intricacies that into doing these types of jobs, but it always feels a bit short handed when we don't get the full fiinish product and we get to hear the roar the engine makes when it first cranks up.
Never knew there were so many steps in just preparing a rod! Great work.
I love the attention to detail. And the tools you have to hand are amazing. But the most incredibly thing is the experience of the cleaner. Imagine the finish you would get if you gave that job to a technician! 👍
This is exactly the level of wisdom and professionalism i would seek doing this work! Outstanding! Now im contemplating shipping an engine from Missouri to Colorado and back 😂 omg. Love your work guys!
Just found your channel. Incredible content. Keeping the customer and the viewer in mind, what a great gift.
Subscribed.
Awesome video. You showed stuff I have never seen on engine rebuild videos. thanks
Great video! I found this 3-part series very interesting because I have the same engine in my 1955 Ford 950 tractor.
Wish you all were closer to Ohio, there wouldn't be another machinist around that would touch my stuff. Keep up the great work guys!!!
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.
Old skool Craftsmanship . Lovely to see skill and passion still alive .
Wow. This video was amazing. It was good to see you all put this project together over the past couple weeks. Makes me wish I did this for a living.
A pleasure to watch an engineer at work.
The clean up guy needs a raise!. It's hard to find good help.
The cleaning guy does know a lil bit of something after all !
Remarkable demo !
Great Video !
Knowing which comes first twist or bend...a simple but amazing level of knowledge
I am suppose to sleep 😴 but you keep me awake 😅😅😊
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!
Knowing why those constant measurements are so important is the difference between a mechanic and a engine builder/engineer... mechanic will send there parts to be mechined where you do and understand it all 💪strong respect for what knowledge you are giving others ✅👌✌️
Amazed at how well you check the rods and make them straight. IDK of many shops that do that or know how to.
So far I love these videos, every time I have a question about something you guys happen to answer it in the same video or the next before I can even comment!
The level of detail is unbelievable, very interesting to watch.
Cleaning guy needs a raise with all his knowledge! 🙃 the cook did a great job! Love your videos! Great job, as always.. keep em coming and cheers from southwestern Indiana!
It’s twice as good now than it was brand new
Great work men
Great work and very informative.... 🙂
I have stripped my Triumph t120 to rebuild it and every time I watch one of your videos I wish I lived near enough to have the machining work done by you guys!
This is the work thats hard to find. Nothing short of genuis
Thank you for posting such great videos.
The hair cut looks good Jim!
Very interesting to see the rod straightening!
This is really a pleasure to watch. I would love to hear the sound of the engine once it is up and running.
Great work this man is a legend. Does an awesome job
Nice to see the dedication to the little details to ensure longevity. Carefully used this motor could see 14000 hours. Most impressive. Thanks for letting us mere mortals into your realm of quality..
FROM THE BAHAMAS ,,, YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST I HAVE TRULY SEEN . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT . PLEASE KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK AND ALL THE BEST 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
I’d love to see this engine running. Great job guys!!
True craftsmanship!
Thank you guys for sharing all your expertise. Keep on smiling.
What a contrast - to what happens in a Pakistani 'workshop'! Blued steel shafts, splines re cut with a grinding disc! Amazing.
Appreciate watching and learning what it takes to get it all need. It always was a mystery for me what actually was done in those kinda places. Now I know a lot more.
I love you so very much! Professional millwright, you’re the real deal! Loved the swap sides. Center is center. Proof is in the pudding.
Thank you for your knowledge and video's USA 🇺🇸
The cook did fine. If my cook had been filming, you would have a LONG selfie video.
Your skills and way of communicating what goes into a proper overhauling of an engine and your standard of workmanship is impressing, thx for sharing, even I as a skilled engine repairman (OK - ship engines - anything from 4" to close to 4') since 1975 highly appreciate your skills and way of sharing
Have a small background with this stuff. Never knew about the expanding or rod straightening. Thanks. I am now subscribed.
Great Video as always
Always excellent content no matter what orientation the video is. The cleaning guy is a font of useful knowledge and I love the way he shares it!
Awesome work guys. I love it that you guys love it!! Well done!
Watching your dad and yours work makes me wish I lived in Colorado! I'd love to have a machine shop of y'alls quality near me!!
Great Video ! So interesting . Thanks for sharing .
