Always make sure when getting true tdc/using degree wheel- to get it on the same direction sweep don’t turn back and forth with loading/unloading slack on the timing belt/chain. Aggravates the crap out of me. 9:10 you addressed that. THANKYOU lol
Hey john id love to see you talk about your thoughts on preload. I got some 100g intake valves, but part of me thinks they're heavy for my rpm and I should use near minimum preload on the lifters to cut the springs some slack. Anyway, love hearing how you work through stuff, always got great ideas and know what you're doing. Missed ya again this week, just been busy. But enjoyed another great video
I think I’ve seen you do this before, last time that caused this was a lot worst. Dropped valve? Pretty cool that after the machine work it’s still dead on what it was last time.
I always fit the cam in the block first before anything else, then crank and then no 1 piston. Then double check TDC. Then I use a lifter with the dial guage to dial the cam. All pistons in make it too hard to turn the engine. I have replaced timing chains and find the engine is then 4 deg out. Same gears! Chains stretch far too easy, belts not as much but still stretch. Gears are best BUT they do transmit way too much valve train harmonics into the crank.
Never mind gear drives are annoyingly noisy. Drives me crazy when I'm dynoing an engine with a gear drive, the noise drowns out every other noise you're trying to listen for.
Most underrated channel on UA-cam, should have million subscribers, keep up the great work TJ!!
Love that you show the comers to performance engines the how too
Great how to on this. Haven’t done this in 10+ years, came right back watching you do it 👍👍

Thank you for all the great knowledge Mr. John.
Really like your how to videos, keeping it simple helps. Adjusted my rockers last fall and it was great! Thanks, have fun putting your engine together
What the big money sponsors guys dont show. John is the best.
The best part of these tools is you only have to buy them once!! Thanks John, great explanation 👍👍
What is the lobe separation angle of the camshaft. You make good videos. Good job
Always putin work!!!#TurboJohn💪💪💪💪#neverstop
I have seen up to three degrees deflection once spring pressure is added on the belt drives degree cam before then after valve train pressure is added
ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO
Gotta have the right tools to have fun
Good video thank you for sharing

Glad I found your Channel, awesome content
Good stuff Tj,Thank you man!

Gonna save this one. Hoping to build something with my 16 y/o. Thanks!
Thanks man!
Good information

Such good info
Bad ass thanks i understood that
Great video.
I'm gonnawash my back wit o ragon sctick and weld the crank in won't fall out
Why is there a belt? Why! I'd rather run a cam Gear like on my 300 i6 if I wasn't using a chain, but why?!
It's better
Damn John, you're going high dollar on us using tig wire when all of us peeons always use a coat hanger LOL.
Only the Ford guys are confused with the key not being at TDC. :D
Don't shoot the messenger but that noise is annoying as all get out.
That's a really sweet Short Block you have. Great build for 8500 to 9500
