The complete ‘Basic Engine Building’ project is currently only available on
DVD. It’s three and a half hours long and has a full interactive interface
for Glossary Terms and Tool usage through the entire video. Would be way
too large of a download for the average person with an average connection.
Plus, the video looks way better on DVD… In the future we’ll work on some
shorter download purchasable clips.
That piston install hammer is made of plastic and has dead-soft shot
fillings. It’s made for beating in pistons on purpose. The particular type
of ring compressor we used required solid strikes to the piston for
install. There are many other methods to do the same… No pistons were
harmed in the making of this video… : )
they dont say anything about bedding in your rings in this dvd
what could be the problem…I have a 350 with a hydraulic flat tappet cam,
i was turning the engine over as i primed the oil pump with my drill and i
noticed only the driver side lifters pumped, but the passenger side would
not. all the lifters on the passenger side collapse, but the driver side
are all pumped up and solid…any ideas?
I want to be an ASE certefied, what does it takes ?
whats the name of thos rachets the ones for spec tighting
There are some stores that carry the old version of the DVD called ‘8-Point
Rebuild’ but don’t bother with that version. ‘Basic Engine Building’ is the
highly improved 2nd edition of the ‘8-Point’. There’s an extra hour of
footage and was completely re-written and re-narrated. Lot’s of computer
animations added too. Links to get the disc are at the top right of this
page in the “more info” section or our URL is in the top right logo as
well. We ship DVDs everyday…hope to hear from you!
I own it, it’s damn good.
Great
@X2N18 Unfortunately, all of our DVD’s that we sell were made well before
HDTV’s even came out. They are all SD. We do all of our modern stuff in
full HD, but no new video projects in the works, other than a NOS video to
finish, and that’ll be digital download only, most likely.
@BoxWrench got any coupon codes ?
I think all these wankle wankers should look up the meaning of a piston a
piston does not describe what it looks like it describes what it does and
even tho its a wankle it still does the same job but in a differnt way
@dk4life164 …. we hear this all the time from the wankel crowd. Maybe we
should have been more specific and said that all “piston-based,
gasoline-burning, non-diesel, four-cycle” engines are the same with regards
to the engine building tools and techniques required… All those specifics
don’t exactly make much difference however when it’s completely obvious to
anyone watching the video that we are working on a piston-based,
gasoline-burning, non-diesel, four-cycle engine…
You mean Sohc Non-Vtec? I love Honda’s!
What on earth’s the Acetone for? : D
@tcschuett Totally agree mate i work for MTU Detroit diesel and it pains me
to see this videos giving people these ideas that its “ok” to use a rattle
gun on an engine.
We actually use Lacquer Thinner more often than Acetone but either of them
are used frequently through any engine rebuild to clean parts surfaces.
Before you paint anything, you should degrease the surface with Acetone or
Lacquer Thinner. Before you apply gaskets sealant or dry gaskets you should
prep the surface with Acetone or Lacquer Thinner… The ‘Basic Engine
Building’ project shows all of this being done many times throughout.
Do you have a DVD or a Rebuilding Manual on A540E 91 toyota camry 2.5L?
To hell with rotary engines.. 3 blown in my rx7.. Gotta a mild chevy 350 in
it now laying down 280hp to the tires with the stock rear! It wieghs in at
2500.. W/Hp Ratio? Does wrk nice..
@turbouserwithnos What does a rotary engine have to do with a video that is
obviously all about piston based engines…? Rotary engines burn gasoline,
so do piston engines…outside of that fact, they’re very different animals
in design and function. We do have a rotary engine rebuild DVD at our site
however…
@BoxWrench Ouch. . . . Good DVD by the way!
Love a ASE patch. Where can I get one?
@geoff390 you need to pay closer attention when you watch instructional
videos before you flame in the comments… The impact wrench is used during
the ‘pre-assembly’ mention of the video and the setting on the wrench was
at lowest torque rating meant only to seat the main caps past their notches
(standard on SB Chevy) The beam torque wrench is also only used during the
‘pre-assembly’ mention in the video. The “final torque” setting is done at
1:33 with a pro grade click type torque wrench.
@EasttSideCustomZ thanks for the order, sending it right out!!!
@BoxWrench heh :] i know it all but i like watch videos like this ;] Strong
V8 without computers and other shits ;] clean power
We do ship to almost all countries internationally. Thanks for checking out
our site!
The clip mentions “any four-cycle engine” which yes, refers to pistons
engines. Technically, a rotary engine could be considered a four-cycle
engine but really is the exception to the rule… The ‘Basic Engine
Building’ DVD is about as close as any single video project can get to
covering the tools and techniques of an entire group of engine families.
Rotary engines have always been the exception to the four-cycle family.
We’d love to see someones efforts in explaining the differences…
Use whatever tools you feel confident using, if you can’t use big boy toys
then get ya little socket set out! If your doing these all day you get good!
@geoff390 I have the basic engine building video and they spend time
explaining how to do many jobs with the tools one has available; this might
explain why 3 different tools are used to tighten these bolts. It’s
probably for demonstrative purposes. I don’t like “rattle guns” myself, but
I don’t see any harm in using them to start a bolt. If anything I would
think it is simply more time consuming having to switch tools.
Great videos…any chance you could tell me what brand your rotating engine
stand is please? We are working on a Ford 390, and have replaced the engine
stand three times. Current rotating stand is from Jegs and is rated at
1,000lbs. Stand works great, but the pin on the crank handle shears once
you attempt to rotate. Thanks in advance!
Do you have a Video for rebuilding a Rotary?
Yup, it’s hard to break old habbits with die hard, old school mechanics. We
like to use cutting edge and innovative tools when they come out…that
orange piston hammer is awesome because it’s safe to smack on pistons and
has the long nose that lets you tap the piston gently all the way down
until it lightly seats on the rod journal. It’s way better, it’s much
easier to tap while using your other hand to square up the rod to the crank
throw to be sure the bearings meets the journal squarely.
oMG,you’re good
damn i worked on engines before but not v8 i have worked with a Honda
inline 4 with my dad when we had a shop, lawn motors and weed wackers aka 2
strokes lol
