    Thanks again for continuing on with these build videos brother. I keep on thinking what you could really do if you had all the proper machines, but you always blow my mind doing what you do with the bare minimum!
    Is there any way you can do a video really showing us the Mustang and its current engine and why you are doing what you are doing to it?
    Keep on going Jess!
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Ah, we're getting spoiled with two videos a week for awhile again. How magical. I do greatly wonder what the finished product will be like. I have to say tho, bithead really does mean it when he said in the past that now he has the approach that he can do anything he sets his mind to. If someone told me to do this project I would tell them "no chance in hell". I would never even dream of starting. But here he is, making a full on Engine from Scratch.

    What’s that you say? Just another car video from our friendly neighbourhood Bithead, and on a frigging Wednesday evening… just in time to break up the shitty monotony of our pitiful existence… I’M IN!

    This is why we love the BitHead1000 show. Hardly anyone these days has the absolute gumption (and skillset) to up and say "I'm building an engine from scratch" and from raw materials no less. Same with the clear consoles of yore, the jean jackets, the rube goldberg machines... Incredible, incredible work over there man!

    Little flux on your rod to keep your crank going...still doesn't sound dirty enough.
    This is so much work. I'm glad I can watch as I put some billet internals in my son's harbor freight engine.

    Hi BitHead , I am a Machinist by trade. Just a bit of advice, you can put a milling cutter or drill in your lathe chuck and make a fixture for your tool post or cross slide to hold your piece so you can make straight cuts and drill straight holes. Keep up the great work and great content. Respect!

    Haha you've got to be half out of your mind to do things this way but it's hilarious and entertaining! I have to admit I cringed a bit at the plumber's solder (tin/silver?) babbit bearing. It seems a little too soft but hey maybe it won't be a problem. Really interesting work, man. Hope it works!

    The crankshaft reminds me a little of a crossbow trigger mechanism where the string sits and arrow slides through.

    You weren't crazy :) the piece you were bolting together was flipped around so the section you cut was facing out instead if in toward the other piece it was cut from. (you can see it in the vid at 12:09 the inside section is shiny, not the cut side, and then later 13:16 you can see the other side with the saw marks so you hadnt cleaned it yet for the other side to be shiny). Loving the new project keep it up!
