Delighted to have found your channel. I appreciate the straightforward presentation style and the depth of knowledge you clearly have. I have collected some old engines at auction over the years and its about time to start working on them. They range from a solid stuck engine ( haven't figured out what kind yet) to a good running FM Z that had been rebuilt when I bought it 20 years ago. Your videos have given me some great insights in to how to go about the process. Thank you !
Typically you would position and suspend the crankshaft (or a suitable mandrel) in the main journals and pour and scrape in the lower halves. Then lay the crank (or suitable mandrel) in your new bearings and separate the cap from the bottom with shims made from heat resistant gasket material and pour the uppers. I chose to cheat the system here and only pour the upper half of one bearing because all the other bearings in this engine were in excellent condition. There are probably many other many ways to accomplish this task beyond my limited abilities. Thanks for the kind words!!

Amazing work as always!! Very nice job with the repair! Now all it needs is a tiny bit of fine tuning and a cart! :)
..Amazing.. I envy your talents.
I like.
Very helpful video, sir. Thanks for sharing. One question, how do you pour the engine side of the bearing?
