Great video,but you should never hone an engine at an angle. Engine should be flat on the floor with you pushing and pulling the hone up and down. Just a suggestion. The weight of the hone and drill motor create an uneven cross hatch in the bore.
Great video! I’m not sure what I’m gonna do yet but my plan is that I know I need to replace the piston rings so I’ll be stripping down the block for that, I’ll check the bearings and roundness of the cylinders and everything else needed to be checked. I won’t need a master kit since I already have many of the components from the past before I decided not to do a rebuild yet (engine overheated bad, decided to see how it runs after the head gasket job). Hopefully I won’t be paying too much in parts and then hopefully the machine shop work won’t be too high. I don’t plan to do the honing because I’m not good at that kind of stuff, I call it “artisan work” because I’ve never been the kid who could fold things straight, write a good paper, or even jump rope
These kits are perfect for budget-minded builders. Joe and Fred have provided me with so many quality parts over the last 15 years. I run a side gig as a mobile mechanic (my real job is military). I have yet to get one call for failed parts. I would be cautious though with running their parts on high-performance engines (racing or heavy-duty off-roading). Their parts are economical and robust with daily driving in mind...end advertisement...hahaha (I will always buy their parts on RockAuto over the competitor).
Great vids, very helpful. Did you acquire the kit before you had the cylinders bored? Did you order the kit with the larger pistons in mind or did you have to get replacements? thanks!
It's great Enginetech sent you a Rebuild Kit but I LOVE Fel-Pro gaskets. Would not use those gaskets if it were my Jeep. I'm not sure what I would use in that kit ? I would have to find out what Co. made the parts that came in that kit. I considered this just an unboxing vid, not a review.
Ok Solid, About the gaskets especially, you know hell everybody knows how these 4.0's leak so why not use the best gaskets ? Unless you're going for a BUDGET BUILD & IT ISN'T YOU'RE PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION but still. Don't ya hate the freggin leaks ?. I'm not sure what your plans are for your Jeep ? Not sure what type of tools you have either as in MICROMETER 2" TO 3" for the crank ? I sure as heck am not a professional mechanic but if I have something apart ( if I have the money ) I'll replace as much as I could & use the best parts I could afford. Props to EinginTech though they sound like a GREAT CO.
@@Se2n67g9r i looked at the invoice and most of the parts are made in taiwan. Looks good quality. My kit is for a toyota tacoma. Other kits might be different.
@@toycoma98 thank you for replying. I am rebuilding my work truck. Its a dodge ram and i went thru forums to find out whats good for my truck but nobody really says much about the vendors. So i dont know if i should buy this kit or not.
@@Se2n67g9r By this time, I'm sure you already completed your truck but Enginetech is reliable. I work in a machine shop; usually build 4 engine per week. We use a lot of EngineTech parts. They are great 👌
I think those kits overall are good deals. Gaskets, bearings, oil pump, pretty full proof. When it comes to pistons, rings, cam and lifters however, that’s when you need to pay closer attention to the quality. You always want forged pistons, never cast. One thing I noticed that is about the same price I believe is you got pressed in pins instead of full floating. If you ever do another motor, I recommend full floating pins and not pressed. You’ll hear arguments for both, for guys who like to work on stuff like you do, it makes assembly and disassembly much easier. Always get bronze bushings installed on the small end of the rods. Some machine shops just hone the small end which is bad. Steel to steel (aluminum isn’t a bearing material) can gall. Bronze is soft, just the same way your rod and crank bearings are soft. Full floating is just one of those little details that raises the quality of your new motor build. You can get a good aftermarket cam that offers a little more performance. For a Jeep you would want a cam that offers more torque at low rpm. It’s not a race motor it’s a trail and hill climber. A little higher lift with low duration like stock will give you more torque. I used to have a 1970 Bronco with a 302 I rebuilt years ago and put a cam exactly as I described in it. Wow did that low rpm cam perform well. It gave it so much wonderful bottom end. I have a 1969 Ford F-350 with a 390 in it. I put the same kind of cam in that. More torque equals more bottom end crack the throttle power. It’s great. It makes the motor just barely not stock so no valvetrain components or driveline parts are stressed. Anyways that’s all info for your back pocket next time. You’re doing a great job and I like seeing your willingness to take a different path when it’s called for, like the block cleansing and machine work. Those choices are huge. Great job!
I am rebuilding my 4.0 and have run into some big issues i need help with. I have searched all over the internet without finding any answers. Please help!
I just replaced them on my 242, working great so far, press fit pins are hard to do myself so decided to use professional shop, rings and bearings same company , working well! enjoy your build
i just had a bad experience with enginetech over they phone. basically because im not a mechanic or machine shop they didnt want to answer any questions. makes me rethink things... what if i running into problems with the product..

Well.... what was the hone Grit???? People wanna know!!! 🤔

I'm rebuilding a 1990 2.5l with Enginetech master kit. On their web site it was listed over $500. Got it off of Rock auto for $300 shipped and taxes.

Thanks for the review. It made me seriously consider them.

Soo, was there not supposed to be a review in here somewhere?
Definitely looking forward to see the outcome. I was looking at this company for when I do my rebuild
I'm happy with it so far.
Is it good for a turbo?
Any idea how goodbor bad the cylinder heads are for a 2000 Chevy?
It's great Enginetech sent you a Rebuild Kit but I LOVE Fel-Pro gaskets. Would not use those gaskets if it were my Jeep. I'm not sure what I would use in that kit ? I would have to find out what Co. made the parts that came in that kit. I considered this just an unboxing vid, not a review.
I guess the review will continue as parts are installed and I test the engine. Stay tuned...

Sounds like he needs to hit up Fel-Pro for another build!
Can't wait to see the new parts going in. :-)) Ask for a cam with a slightly more lift.
Me too! I'll be working on it next week
Hows it holding up buddy?
Great! No issues
@@JeepSolid awesome possum thanks for the content
@@JeepSolid did you even use the gaskets that came with it?
@@Nikkk6969 Yep
Was thanking of using them to rebuild my old 360 thats in my 1985 d350 dually
We just built a stock Dodge 360 with their parts. No issues ✌
i got em installed on 242 jeep, working great so far
@@birdlover666 how did there parts hold up?
@@robertjackson6537 one year later of daily use and the engine hasn't given us an issue. So looks like the parts are great 👍

Are those the same pistons and cam bearings you provided the machine shop?
Sure are. Recorded before they installed rods

Haha! Thanks. She's a good cat
The review should be 50k miles latter not now, Fancy boxes mean nothing.
But if you send me a free kit i will say you are better than OEM.
Didn't say better. Just showed what is in the kit. and I cover how the install is going.
Was more of an unboxing video than a review.
I wonder if these guys go to their car door in the first way they try to open it is by pushing it open remember guys pool yes that's a Kentucky pool
Promise or going to rebuild an engine gives no insight. Showing a functional engine with Enginetech parts that you are displaying is effective.
There’s an entire series on this engine rebuild. Check out the playlist
Sorry, but you didn't even review the parts or express any opinion, a pointless video 100%
The review is in my engine rebuild video series where I am using the products. Here I'm showing what's in the kit. Thx 👍

Enginetech will you send me a kit for a 4.7L Jeep engine? lol...
Haha! Give them a call.
Oh look! It's useless Jason! 😂
i just had a bad experience with enginetech over they phone. basically because im not a mechanic or machine shop they didnt want to answer any questions.
makes me rethink things... what if i running into problems with the product..
Humm... I'd try again. My experience when I called was very good, and they had no idea I was reviewing their product.
Yep l had the same problem over the phone,the guy was more concerned about being a smart ass than answering the question
