Oh…lastly…your ring compressor was great…I thought it was that antique Allen wrench crank it tight style…ooooh…didnt like those at all…hassle city…ok…your kewl…lol
Howdy…All engines…from lawn mower to Honda to SBC to Ford FE…I HAVE USED GASKACINCH…IT NEVER HAS FAILED OR LEAKED 1 DROP…REMOVAL IS SO CAKE…RUBBER CEMENT LIKE STUFF…HEAT PROOF…HOLDS ALL GASKETS(NO RTV…hisssss) WHERE YOU PLACE THEM…LOVELY STUFF…NO GLOP OVER SPILL FOR CRAP INSIDE ENGINE…EVER…LOVE IT…
dont forget gasket thickness will push front cover however thickness is the gasket is for the trimming cover
so the gasket thickness was not taken in account.
Eric; there’s a special tool for this.
Also Eric; ima try this. 😂😂😂
Largo video pero muy bueno exelente trabajo Gracias Eric
So meticulously checked all the clearances in double checked and triple checked but never saw you check piston to valve clearance I know no dome tops but still God I love the engine though awesome!!
Yes good advice put the balancer in and oven and also I purchased the installer from summit works very nicely
Dude I have those rockers lol You rock
Would love to see Dino numbers with those heads I'm running the Edelbrock CNC355 heads on my 492 stroker almost went with AFR
Windage tray,,I think you're fine especially for the horsepower you're going to make, my method for installing pickup tube,,, crescent wrench with two rags over the end tap on crescent wrench with your red hammer., Or any other way you can get it in there lol ðŸ˜â€ÂÂ
I guess the better cam button may have been worth it or you can also install aluminum cover no flex that way in the cover either way great job Love your videos
No valvetrain geometry? Roller tip centered on valve stem?
I like Freshly machined surfaces and tourqe wrenches that don't make my dog go nuts lol
Maybe call it …ole slugger. ..looked like you was in a home run Derby with that balancer. Your vids are awesome man thanks for showing us all this great stuff !!
I go 1/8th turn on race car and 1/4 turn daily and do the book set like #1 adjust then #6 adjust
use the white pipe sealant on the head bolts
I didn't see you grind off the top of the front oil galley plugs for clearance for the double roller cam gear.
You know that block is (MADE FOR) a special locking plate that locks the cam in perfect right?!?
Going to a "CAM BUTTON" designed for cams other than "ROLLERS" is a BAD IDEA!!
Link for cam locking plate…

A lot of jumping around in this video makes it confusing

Never beat a balancer on and throw those stupid leaky end seals for the intake in the damn garbage, use a bead of rtv instead.
Why you didn't wear plastic gloves?
between the holley sniper EFI in the Fairmount and the Pro Flow 4 in ETCG Dad's truck…..looking back, which one would you recommend? and why?
Looking to swap a Quickfuel carb out of a 1985 camaro with a 400sbc bored 60 over to an EFI and swap the cam to something streetable to daily drive. Your input would be superior to my research.
Thanks in advance
Very nice engine buid time. Anyone.. where s the cam stand? no camshaft assembly?
