this is a prefect example of why the cam goes in first before the crank so it can be helped through the bearing journals with little damage to the cam and bearings. never understood why this is so hard to figure out. this for a new assembly.
@@goldfinder49er1 It is easier to install the cam before the crank has been installed, because you can reach in and guide it through each group of cam bearings when the crank is not in the way. I just did it this week.
Awesome job letting the nephew do it and teaching him 👏 I guarantee he will always remember his first sbc build with uncle! Hopefully it'll inspire him and next he's building 1 for his own first project! Great job bud
Thanks for the awesome comments and watching and yeah my nephew if you watch my impala videos has a hand in everyone just a little but yeah I hope he remembers it too
And funny thing about remembering when I was 18 I had an older friend and helped him put in a roller cam and his small block 42 Chevy pick up pretty cool memories fired it up without the exhaust manifolds on
327 ci crank shaft was not drilled and taped for a harmonic damper bolt this is a good idea to have done at the machine shop, its a little insurance the damper stays put. great build
Thanks for the comment I just rebuilt it for the second time and I did heat it with a propane And it was much easier to put on but I still shim the crank thanks for watching
Never pound those on. Your can bust the thrust beating rims. I cut the head off of an old crank balancer bolt and welded on a piece of thread bar. Any bolt with the same threads as the crank hole will work. To thread into the crank. Then used a 1” drive socket against the sprocket. Used the threadbar to run a nut down to press it on. Same for balancer.
The white on the head bolts is Teflon to seal the water jacket cause all the bolt holes go through into the water jacket. I use arp bolts and gotta add it but alot of bolts come with it already on there
Also its better to torque the heads down in steps up to the 70lbs but maybe not as crucial on the iron heads, definitely needed for aluminum heads though. Great work 👏
@@goldfinder49er1 something else I wanna say...I believe in what you are doing (teaching the youth) with the old Chevy stuff! I started out as a teenager too. Worked in a famous speed shop named Ron's Performance here in Hawaii till I was 32! I absolutely love these engines. They saved my life by showing me there was something way cooler than being a punk kid wannabe. Keep up what you are doing sir. It makes a difference trust me.
Question for ya? I just installed double roller chain and its tight. the thing that's weird is if i rock crank very slighty back and forth i feel a tiny bit of play. it seems like there play between lower gear and chain. Is that normal? seems like less than a 1/8 movement. thanks
I might try another set just to check, but I'd say sounds to tight>I've done this install many times and there seems to be a fair amount of play remember it will expand as it get hot.thanks for the ? My engine is running great as i make 6,000rpm shifts
We don't say that the cam shaft is retarded anymore , The cam shaft is Mentally Challenged , But you can teach your new cam shaft tricks by tell it to roll over , If it listens to you , reward it with some 10W-40 , I got a little small block 327 Vette crank in a 350 with a 4 bolt main , 12:1 forged pistons ,ported heads, 750cfm carb., aluminum hi rise intake , Headers , 11 inch clutch, Lakewood Blow Proof Bell housing , M-21 Muncie 4 speed Trans , 12 bolt posi , in a 66 Chevelle Super Sport , Makes 450hp , pulls both front tires off the ground in first and second gear , screams to the Moon , 11,000rpm before the valves start to float , And I am a Mechanic , I have built more small block Chevy engines than your family has fingers and toes
Awesome 👏 thanks for watching and the comment I had a rear main seal leak took the engine out over the winter and found the main bearings aon that crank destroyed forgot when I put the canister oil filter adapter the piece in there so all that shit from the beginning ran through my engine I got a new crank and putting it back together and making a new video
@@goldfinder49er1 , want higher compression ? That means more horse power ? Just by using a different head gasket ? What have you been using , Felpro , Mr. Gasket , other ?
@@goldfinder49er1 , I use Felpro too , only I don't use the blue Felpro head gasket , I use a single steel shim head gasket that Felpro makes , This is the same type of steel shim head gasket that engines have when they come from the factory , It is a Silver steel shim gasket and the Felpro number is 7733SH-1 I torque all the bolts in sequence to 30 foot pounds , Then again in sequence to 60 foot pounds , Then a 3rd time in sequence to 80 foot pounds Never had a failure and you get higher compression

Well thats what you get for buying ultra cheap made chinese parts. Who in their right mind would use a chinese made timing set?
greg taylor Exactly what I said try and go cheap look what happens thanks for the awesome comment and watching the video next time people will know Hope you've enjoyed a few other of my videos

are you saying there is more room to hold or move cam with out hitting the crank end?that would be the only benefit

Love that intro!! Need to keep the youth knowing how to work on stuff!!!!🤘🏻👍🏻
Turn the music off
Best engine GM ever made. To bad they never made 4 bolt large journal
i can do 6 grand shifts not bad for almost stock lol thanks for the comment and watching my favorite for sure
327 ci crank shaft was not drilled and taped for a harmonic damper bolt this is a good idea to have done at the machine shop, its a little insurance the damper stays put. great build
thanks and the crank came drilled and taped, i think corvettes came this way thanks for watching and the comments
If you heat the bottom sprocket with a propane torch it will slide straight on
Thanks for the comment I just rebuilt it for the second time and I did heat it with a propane And it was much easier to put on but I still shim the crank thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Couldn't do without you
Glad I could be some help thanks for watching and the awesome comment hear the engine run in my 61 video

Thanks for watching and the comment I did shim the crankshaft but your suggestion is awesome
Difference in teeth is because of different roller sizes on chain. May have got a sprocket for a smaller roller chain but a big roller chain.
The white on the head bolts is Teflon to seal the water jacket cause all the bolt holes go through into the water jacket. I use arp bolts and gotta add it but alot of bolts come with it already on there
Also its better to torque the heads down in steps up to the 70lbs but maybe not as crucial on the iron heads, definitely needed for aluminum heads though. Great work 👏
I got same pistons , with 292 cam and vortec 906 heads , well over 400 h.p. I'd suspect
Put the timing gear in the oven at 350 for half an hour and it'll slide right on the crank no problem 😉
808 Tait Never thought of that I don't do it too often but next time I'll give it a shot

I get Rick and Morty vibes from this lol
funny i like it thanks for the comment and watching gonna fire it up next week
Run!
Chris Mansel Check out my video 61 Chevrolet closed to hear it run thanks for the comment runs awesome
The information may be wonderful. I could not hear it because of the music
Ben Reavely I'm sorry Ben it was just a video for not really technical information but just something to view thanks for watching on the comment
why are you working 6" from paint?
Good question whenever I watch that video I keep freaking but no harm thanks for watching in the comment

Thanks for watching check out my restoration on my 61 bubble top

He's a little rough with that cam install patients right

Just by using a different head gasket ?
What have you been using , Felpro , Mr. Gasket , other ?
Fel Pro what do you recommend
@@goldfinder49er1 , I use Felpro too , only I don't use the blue Felpro head gasket ,
I use a single steel shim head gasket that Felpro makes ,
This is the same type of steel shim head gasket that engines have when they come from the factory ,
It is a Silver steel shim gasket and the Felpro number is
7733SH-1
I torque all the bolts in sequence to 30 foot pounds ,

Please never add music to your video. It is not necessary and is very irritating. Thanks. Nice work on the car though.
Thanks for the comment and watching.Yes the music is not for all And ill post a new update on car in a week its getting close
