After all the preparation of balancing, checking clearances, and painting, it’s now time to assemble my engine. In fact, this is the only part of engine assembly we were able to get on camera. Because everything else took so long, we were not able to recored the cylinder head and the rest of the assembly.

Still, there’s a ton of useful information in this video about bottom end assembly and the types of things you want to consider with a boosted application. As you’ll see in the video, you build an engine for boost very differently than you build a naturally aspirated engine.

No matter what, you’ll walk away with great information form this video and a deeper appreciation for my machine shop, Kalviantor Engines.

Thanks to Kevin Frische for his help in this video.

  1. Why no assembly lube on the rear lower bearing
    Ive never put a dry bearing on to a engine
    Shoundnt spin a crank till all the bearings are torqued due to bearing crush/ spread
    Always stand at the end of the engine when torquing the main so the engine doesn’t rotate in the stand like it did
    Best to use guide studs on the rods so they go in straight and not do what they did get jammed in there possibly damaging the bearing notice they didnt take it apart to inspect it oh well
    Youd never want to drag connecting rod cracked crank ends on a table like they are doing
    No big deal for cut split but i woundnt do it that is a precision fit part
    I always shake my rods after torquing to be sure there are no issues saved a engine from failure one time proven follow up i feel is important
    Other wise nice job

  2. Funniest bit is all that hardware would have the cheapest expense here, paying the mechanic triple rates to watch him do the work was 🤣

  3. That stud at 1:34 is the wrong stud lol that look like a head stud. Look at it it’s different from the other studs sitting on that bottom end

  4. Learned wd40 from Myvintageiron7512 I believe is his channel. Too thick of a lubricant makes the cylinder prone to glazing because the rings can’t cut through it quick enough after startup and it flashes.

  5. I love this man I love y’all man great video 🙏🏿🤎

  6. i would never put a half a bearing shell that is not the same and tighten up the oil clearance that is wrong that man is dead wrong to do that… i think he will never touch my engines… just ad more metal to the journal and grinded it down to correct size… but plastic is what he need to also use to see bearing crush size eric… find another builder…

  7. yes eric don't make a mistake putting a short block together… i have built many of Hundreds of racing engines and just like to build every day engines for people. because they seem to take it easy on a daily ride. you see these race engines people run the shit out of them… Haha… and put your skill as a builder to the test… Haha… i have a no problem record so far eric… just because i was a aircraft machinist for 23 years Haha… so just learn how to take your time and learn how to measure correctly and torque correctly …

  8. This was not the right video for someone who's learning about engines. Bearings, clearance, locating tabs… I understand literally none of this.😭😂

  9. Most bolts on your engine are designed to stretch. Thats probably why they didn't want you to tighten the studs more than finger tight.
