what was the black 'spoodge' put on the head gasket? RTV? (we were always taught not to put anything on head gaskets but that was stock gaskets) we were also taught NOT to put any oil etc on head bolts/studs as the reduced drag could affect the torque they were set to! also, is there any significance in the BLUE timing belts? ive seen a few Australian cars using them on various videos. are they stronger/longer lasting than stock ones? or just how that manufacturer makes them?
@@petelattimer6808 ARP spec to lube head bolts/studs so there is minimal friction, so all of the torque value is applied to pull the head down. Think about it, if you're running a head fastener in dry, and it takes say 10ft/lb just to overcome the friction of the dry threads, then your actual clamp force applied is 10ft/lb less than it should be
But the gap between them was smaller than today no doubt. It probably didn't make as much sense to put rods and pistons in a GE rather than sending it with a stock GTE bottom end as they are/were known to handle a lot of power.
I know the drift guys tend to go for the GTE blocks for things like the oil squirters, it does do a little better for the constant high rpm, abusive on-off-on throttle inputs and constant boost in those applications. If you just want to do drag racing or high power 'street' type engines in the high hundreds of hp, either one is going to be totally fine

Great info. Great entertainment. When I was an apprentice in the early 80s a wise tradesman told me, “where there is stress, there is fatigue, where there is fatigue something always breaks. “ Some things we learn when we are young, stick with us forever and continue to make sense.
Great video as always men. Next time I'd love to see how Christian checks the piston and crankshaft clearances, and also how he cleans the parts prior to assembly.(i realise that might not be the most exciting video for some viewers!)
That engine already looks sic. 1200+hp and reliability, them words don't usually go together. Things like to break with that much power but we'll see.. can't wait for the next video. Thanks boys..
I’m glad you guys are getting into competition. I imagine there will be a lot of learning but you also bring a lot to the table. Looking forward to it!🎉
Woody your camera and editing have always been good but this week's was a cut above. Well done mate. Looking to do a 2JZ. Just wanna find a bank with lax security and a shotty😁
That head gasket set up works really well and should hold all the boost. Robby Abbott did mine back in 2017 and she still holding up today. Cheers lads
It’s just amazing common consumers have access to building engines like these. In the last decade the combustion engine as truly been mastered and access to high power motors is as accessible as healthcare. Wild
I remember when I was building my Honda 1.8L DOHC VTEC turbo engine for my 1997 Civic coupe and I bought a set of Skunk2 Tuner Stage 3 cams. I remember that when I degreed the cams I didn't have to adjust them at all and that engine now makes 709 whp. It's scary in that car.
Two things... 1) You guys are nuts, like kinda cracked. 2) Praise the cracked, for it is they that let in the light Keep up the great work. Keenly watching what the build produces, plenty of Smiles Per Gallon I'm guessing 😎😎😎
Great video as usual. I just bought a set of Kelford cams from Golebys for my 2J. If you ever have time, documenting you process to dial in the cams work be greatly all appreciated. Keep up the good work lads.
Guy's you should never take material off the big end cap like that. You grond the big end cap with the grain Structure in a way that will promote cracking. It should be taken off each side of the rod where there isn't any stress points 👍
Are you absolutely certain the joint specializing in high power JZ motors doesn't understand the implications of grinding material off the rotating assembly? I do wish there was a bit more in-depth coverage of these details though. Same with the prep work that went into the crank and whether balancing the bottom end as a unit rather than indivifual sets of components adds anything. I have zero doubt they know what they're doing but I don't and I enjoy geeky stuff, even some maths regardless of the fact it may fly over my head.
@@papapetad Removing material from the rotating assembly will help with how smooth the engine will be Throughout its rev range when its been bsllanced. What i was pointing out was the connecting Rod big end caps have been ground in a way that have made them weeker. If material needs to be removed to balance the assembly it should be taken off in the correct places not to jeopardise the structural integrity of the components.
Aussie population is only small, and as you'd know the mainstream media here love to rag on car enthusiasts. If these guys were american/in America, there's no doubt they'd be much bigger.
Great video guys, I thought I would ask ya's, how much does it cost to have a 2JZ GE setup for a Commodore? Cause I am thinking of getting a Single Turbo 2JZ GE setup for my VT Commodore and I've heard that I will need to have my Commodore rewired completely to have a 2JZ GE running.

Is there a reason the tensioner pin isn't pulled when you degreed the cams? I know you have to ensure they are measured in the clockwise direction. But i assumed the tensioner needed to be engaged on the belt as well.
When your cousins best mate sends the main caps into orbit give Goleby’s a call golebysparts.au

I was buying up 2jzge engines for $100 back in 2005ish. So many people were convinced that the GE was inferior, I never corrected them

That is some epic shit.
Great to see you's are getting serious about power with your own projects
how good is that background music to listen to, whilst a master engine builder is doin hes thing
What a soothing relaxing assembly, therapy and meditation for carguys.
my OG solution to the oil seal was to fit an undertray, worked a treat
So much love in such a short time. Ps hey Frank.
m.ua-cam.com/video/cuteYqKpfUk/v-deo.html%4011sec&feature=youtu.be
Should definitely fit a Wu-Tang War Whistle
Also, the first track during the build montage is dope. Very chill
At 7:00... when the music drops for the build montage... better than a 70's jazz bar. So zen.👌

You boys are legends this is one of the best channels
Geez, the size of that turbo in the outtakes at the end, what a unit!
But, will it fit my Honda?
Christian is pretty much the worlds JZ guru 😊🇬🇧
Love that a shifter was used in this engine build. 🤣😂❤️
really love seeing engine builds, watching all the pieces come together, I know this will be epic.
great episode boys.
I’m glad you guys are getting into competition. I imagine there will be a lot of learning but you also bring a lot to the table. Looking forward to it!🎉
Woody killed it 🔥🔥🔥
I like the use of Excel spreadsheet to work through as you guys assembled. Is there any chance of getting a copy of the template?
Same as well
Follow this formula for any "exciting" engine and I'd watch multiple times each.
Epic video. If I had a engine project I'd buy parts from Goleby's. Love the attention to detail in every stage of the build.
2JZ is king 👑 nice vid guys
I don't know that I'll ever build an engine, but this has been a beautiful video to watch you all doing so.
Al is such a professional. He said "reliable 1200hp motor" with a straight face.
2jz that’s why lol
Love the banter after the credits roll.
So Satisfying watching an engine getting built
Woody your camera and editing have always been good but this week's was a cut above. Well done mate. Looking to do a 2JZ. Just wanna find a bank with lax security and a shotty😁
Be careful. You might end up with a billet stroked Barra by mistake and wondered where you went wrong
Agree
@@JamesTK that's a chance I'm willing to take
That head gasket set up works really well and should hold all the boost. Robby Abbott did mine back in 2017 and she still holding up today. Cheers lads
People use to put copper head gaskets on the rs seria cossys and run 40bls

Wasn't sure on an engine build video but this really captured my interest. Great editing and music selection.
Boom !!!!!! Mad to see it hot off the press !!!👍🍻
Hey Al, Thanks heaps for giving me a👋 on Claude Batten Drive in Noosa.
You made my holiday mate!
The crown looks and sounds phenomenal!
Christian knows whats up, taking his hand of the head of the torque wrench before going for the click. Good man.
Frank does seem to be a legend, checks out! =)

That's the best intro audio compilation yet
Awesome vid, pretty in depth, but he’s still keeping nearly every detail close to his chest, can’t be giving the secrets away!!
Is the Lexcen doing Dragweek 2023?! YES PLEASE!

👍🏻👍🏻 for doggo
I can’t help but comment about the awesomeness of the JZ platform!!!!
1000hp capable crank, eat your heart out RB boys !!!!
Dahtone Racing and many others run factory RB30 cranks to 1000HP. Come on now, the RB engines aren’t that bad 😅
crazy to think, we are finally going to see 2jz dart blocks
Keep up the good work and much respect
Allways good to see Christian
Great video fellas. I reckon this series will be one of ur biggest
people under the stair's vibe kinda beat's in this i love it!
Turbo Yoda, Obi Wan Kenboosty and the Padewoody make a great team.
Don’t forget the grenade pin on the tension love the clunk taking those out on bam engines
i have a feeling this is going to drag week in the future
Maybe cos that’s what they said they were building it for?
What a workshop. I'm having meself a wet dream tonight cheers.

You can now order new thick wall iron blocks with billet 4 bolt mains
What an awesome video. Guys you’re doing great
Great vid and tunes. Keep it up boys. 😃
What’s the black stuff used on the copper headgasket ?
Quality content as usual mates,keep it up!!
I was also wondering what they used on the copper gasket.
The man himself!

Brilliant episode fellas!
Look forward to seeing and hearing a screaming reborn Kevin.
Could you list the oil and grease stuff you used in the assembly? Cheers
Is there a reason the tensioner pin isn't pulled when you degreed the cams? I know you have to ensure they are measured in the clockwise direction. But i assumed the tensioner needed to be engaged on the belt as well.
Shiny bits. Love it!
Ripper vid guys!
Oh cool, didn't know acl is Aussie company. Been using their bearings always.
It's a concrete warranty....as soon as you leave the concrete it expires 😂
Kev is gonna rip those tyres off 😂
Lifetime mates rates warranty 😂 = happy to lend a hand now. But you’re going to be helping us fix your shit 😂 if you break it lol.
All RB GUYS 👀 👀📝 ✍️
Al, you need the Lemonsquasher TSF-JZ 900! Best turbo to use for the InstaGrams! Lol
You've obviously been here in the last few days because Toowoomba skies are still so greys.
That engine should get Kevin moving along!
Zed iinstead of zee got me. Guys are killing it love the channel 👏
My comment on the turbo is to use the best one. Because I know nothing about turbos.
What’s the black stuff smothered over the head gasket? Does it have to be used with that gasket or is it optional? Never seen it before.
I recall watching a video of yours that showed a more in depth process of degreeing cams, but i cant seem to find it. Could you link me the video?
2JZ ASMR
Wow I didn't know the British actor David Mitchell was Australian!
Love you guys!! but what is that kinchrome torque wrench 😂 should only be used as a breaker bar..
You have a massive Snap On bill don't you.
Good stuff 👍🏻
Get a turbo two sizes too big. The two Jay zed can take it.
Why is it that the cooper headgasket (spacer I guess) has opening between the cylinders? What seal the piston cylinders from each others then?
The fire rings
Copper rings in machined grooves in the block. They'll hold more pressure than a head gasket
Very cool swing something other than an LS turbo build
I can relate to head smutz Al 👍
Borg Warner
Is that gasket goo you put over the head gasket?
You guys should put a 4jj1 into a old hilux just for me lol 😂
