Great explanation , you've got the art of teaching , broke it down and stepped through it . Thanks for the time you both put into filming and editing the video, much appreciated.
Thanks for showing this. I never really knew the specifics how this gets done. I knew how it's supposed to be, but not "how". Great stuff, dude. You see this get done all over, but very few machinists are willing to take the time to explain it with this kind of detail.
WOW!!! Mr.Danial you are flipping genius. You know it's one thing to have nice machinery but to run and use the equipment to it's full potential and be spot on whatever you need it to do is just mind blowing. I have no doubt in my mind that you can machine a block with truer specs then what comes out of the factory. People who try to talk smack saying you are wrong or not doing something right are 110 percent ignorant.. please keep your videos rolling, I learn something new with every video of yours I watch. ❤❤ Thank you for sharing your endless intelligence
Very interesting video. I really like that you take the time to explain how folks with a decent machining setup can make their own tools and other equipment. Not just encouraging... but factual. You just.... can. Well done.
What you do is becoming a lost art. All of the machine shops near me have shut down. I now have to drive at least two hours one way to get any machine work done. Hopefully your videos will inspire young people to get into automotive machining.
What is Bhj blok-tru + ? Also, for decades I've wondered how/what gave the absolute reference for the machine work. I no longer wonder, great explanation, now I know.
I just joined UA-cam a couple of weeks ago. You are the first channel I subscribed to. As others have said, you have the gift of breaking things down inito easily understandable parts. Could you possibly do a video discussing what order of machining steps you would recommend under the common conditions of the blocks and heads you have come in. THX
Hey Daniel, Tim here.......i'm fairly good at machining things to .0005......have done so many years......articulate measurements, chk, and re chk b4 cut is made.......all i can say is once AGAIN, YOU sir have PROVED my sub'n/T-shirt purchase .......you oughta teach young- uns...... its an art that only a few can really master, but with proper tools, and understanding, u can dial it all in!!......young-uns need to be schooled, and motivated.....neither me or you are gettin any younger......once we're gone..WHO is gonna carru the torch??.....this vid was VERY articulate, and informative, for our younger crowd....i watched the whole thing cuz i'm a machinist nerd....as u probly know.....VERY concise, no BS vid!!......hope some young folks find it awesome, as i do, and i've been doin it for 43 yrs or so.....i NEVER wanna stop learning...NEVER NE A KNOW IT ALL!!!...NEVER!!!..shut up and learn!!!......TY sir!!!....MOST enjoyable!!!
@user-bc9sz1dj1g that is the exact reason I decided to make this channel, this information will be here forever, so hopefully those that choose to will take something from it.
Another great, informative video Daniel, thank you! One suggestion to consider for your set-up is to move the saddles closer to the block to minimize deflection on the shaft and to stiffen the assembly for machining.
You sir and others like you inspire people who are in this field to do better as well as inspiring young men to get into this field. My 14 year old son and his friends watch every episode.
Love the way you explain the processes in your videos......I'm a visual learner, too. I've watched a BUNCH of your videos since I found your channel and I've learned a lot!! One of the biggest things I've learned........you can't just buy parts from the catalog and slap together a street rod/dragster engine. If I were to build a hotrod engine.......I'd hire you to build it 'cause I ain't got $$$$$$ to throw out the window. There are SO MANY small things to watch out for!! Love your videos!!
Great video. Enjoy all your videos that I've seen actually. Very enlightening to me. I won't go to my local shop and be entirely ignorant. If you were closer I'd bring my work to you. If you wanted some small block La Mopar. Lol
We typically would make a cleanup pass with the deck mill to get the decks level and 45° from cam/crank centerline. Then we would bore the block and hone it. Once that was done we would assemble the crank with the 4 corner pistons and verify deck height with the rotating assembly before finish decking. The rules require being at or below the deck with the pistons. Highest of the corners dictates deck height. Cranks are indexed and rods end for end measured and trued also.
Great clip! Extremely informative. To get a good perspective, could you show the actual corrections ( milling process) it takes to correct an out of shape block? Thank you sir.
Thanks, mister, for the detailed explanation. I had asked about this in a previous video. What do you do when someone brings you a GM 60 degree? Tell them to turn around and head back in the direction they came from? 😉
I've rough bored blocks that were previously sleeved using a deck mounted boring bar where a 0.015" pass didn't completely clean up one side of the bottom of the cylinder. (We use a Rottler that registers off the mainline and pan rails) I understand that the CNC block centers, if you just set it up to rough the cylinders off of blueprint, there are situations where a cylinder won't clean (factory machining wasn't that close) so they "probe" the cylinders first and tweak the program on any problem cylinders. I would have to assume the modern blocks like the LS/Gen III hemi/etc. are pretty accurate compared to the old 60's through 90's stuff.
Great video as always.... Is it worth considering remaking the sliding dial gauge holder out of steel? Just thinking about the possibility of wear considering the amount of use it will see being aluminium.... It'll also be more thermally stable ! Just a thought.
Very good information. I build Harley motors out of my garage, so I understand all the clearing. I don’t have any machines so I send out that part. I don’t know if I need a boring machine or a lathe for the single cylinders. Do you do any of that type work?
Do you line bore or hone the crank and cam journals before you set it up to be surfaced? And do you get any distortion from not having the adapter rings in the other crank journals? I'm probably never going to put my hands on anything like this, but it's all very interesting.
If the cam bore or freeze plugs aren't visually centered in the bosses, is that really an indicator the block has too much core shift and shouldn't be used? I have a 350 Chevy (80's "207" block with 4 bolt mains) and the cam bore looks way off.
I took many classes at the community college level, I have a technical degree, I pulled a five year apprenticeship, I have seen many teachers. You are as good or better than the best of them. You need to find and hire a couple of the right young people to teach your trade, they might be hard to find but they are around, In ten years time you might be more interested in a nice vacation than working sixty hours a week, having competent fully trainer help would make that a lot easier. Your wife might could use help also.
Most factory LS blocks are off! Some way more than that! If you check the one in your hone, it maybe way off! Most think new block, it’s read to go! Which is never the case! Internet says, slam it together! Then wonder why they have issues 🙄🙄🙄🙄! Good job explaining!
i see that you hone a lot of diff motors. i just got my race build back from the shop and the crosshatch was supposed to be 30 degrees i just checked and theyre 10 degrees. in your opinion is this going to be an issue? do i have to oversize now and have it done again?
@@powellmachineinc is it cool if I send you the numbers so you can tell me what you think I know ur busy but I watch your vids and you really seem to know ur stuff
I have an honest question... I understand the desire to make everything perfect, but how can doing all of this for .005 or .007 possibly produce measurable beneficial results? By the time that thing heats up, it's all squirreled out of shape by a several thou anyway. As long as the heads and everything are sealing right, does it REALLY matter that much at all? I'm being serious, not just critical. I just don't see how paying for all of that and going through all of the trouble squaring it up for such small increments could make a difference enough make it all worth the trouble. Am I missing something?
@@powellmachineinc Keep in mind that even though I've built more engines in my life than most regular people, I'm still just a shade tree amateur in that realm, so I have to take your word on it. It just doesn't make sense to me with the limited knowledge I have. I get the part about linear bore alignment and needing that surface to be on plane with the crankshaft so bores can be machined to match, but my brain just can't grasp how numbers that small can make a measurable difference. Now I know that it's important, but I never would have guessed that it was this critical. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

I heard a BHJ fixture is square to the earth. Lol. I have a bhj bar and none of the rest of it. I've used one several times, though, back at SAMTECH. We'll I was there before then when it was The School of Automotive Machinist
@powellmachineinc3179 yeah it was different when I was there b4 they changed the name and it went more mainstream. I've helped build 7 engine masters engines that placed top 4 and above. Also worked on the camaro and mustang race cars while I was there. I'm a serious cylinder head guy and almost bought a machine shop several years ago and didn't. Like your channel, u seem to understand it more than most
Also, don't think judson is there as much anymore. Also, as u know. The machine is only as good as the man running it. You can have the best stuff and still know nothin.
Yeah, it would not be good if your piston and rod are hammering the crank and bearing on an angle! I imagine the bearings would be wiped out pretty fast. I don't think i've ever seen a bearing worn unevenly; probably because the engines don't last long enough to end up in junk yards.
AHAA so thats how that tool works and how ya indicte and get the surfaces 45 degrees ive seen others machinist bubblelevels and refferenced off the bores so make the deck perpedicular to the bores
There's tons out there that just don't know, young and or inexperienced, we are just trying to show the proper processes so people know how it should be done
@powellmachineinc3179 I get it! but I'm old school, if you take a part in your hand, you should be able too figure how too hold it & machine it 1 or 2 minutes ,or you will never make it in a job shop machine shop !

Thanks, mister, for the detailed explanation. I had asked about this in a previous video. What do you do when someone brings you a GM 60 degree? Tell them to turn around and head back in the direction they came from? 😉
Na, we would just indicate off the deck or if it was a performance deal we would just make a plate
I've rough bored blocks that were previously sleeved using a deck mounted boring bar where a 0.015" pass didn't completely clean up one side of the bottom of the cylinder.

So that means there is no reference for that then. You go off the factory line?
