  • Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
  • Working on the new to us 532ci BBC engine. We have a fully assembled "Short Block". This engine is coming together nice and is one step closer to being ready to fire up and run. Today we installed the timing pointer, and found TDC and got the timing pointer accurately set to 0 deg. This is a very important step, and if not done ignition timing could be retarded causing low power or even worse, too far advanced causing catastrophic engine damage. Mike is also working on his hotrod today.....More issues.....But that's drag racing!

    lmao... "A Very Near" caliper. You could also have used tap and a fine tooth marker. Lay the tape on the balancer and extend the marks onto the tape. Then remove the tape and index it on the "0" line.
    You're doing a modified version of the method performed when youre using a piston stop. Cool walk through.

    Ya Should have did 1 Video on Mike and 1 on the BBC / Mike Don't risk it Snatch it out and ck the Bearings Especially the Cam Bearings Cause Bearings and Rings and Gaskets are a Lot Cheaper than a Engine and Hey if they look good reuse the Bearings But that way you know for Sure and can relax

    Change oil not had good luck with Brad oil, Was eating up crank thrust washer on Kawasaki grade bike. After crank, I switched oil not had an issue since

    Thinking Mike should pull the pan and check a main bearing, the thrust bearing and maybe a couple rod bearings. Cheap insurance to be certain..

    Guess the answer is big block
    Easy boosted power can over build without going broke too

    To make your scribe mark show up better. Use sharpie to “paint” a small area and then scratch your mark with the calipers on the sharpie. I use this technique all time at work.
