I think it's something more along the lines of he worked with someone that was a freak about building motors. Granted, I think that's part of his job now, but I doubt he's built 100's of motors or anywhere close.
Alot of the points he showed was common sense things. That and he was rebuilding a 7 bolt, no point - waste of time. With those 2 problems, that was most of his errors on the assembly.

Yeah most of the points were proabably performed and just not covered to save on video time. You could tell it wasn't a straight build. It was done in several segments as you could see that various things in the background moved throughout the video. It was still interesting though. I've done a complete rebuild on my head. Never have done a short block rebuild, on a 4g63 anyways.

Oh he put together his fair share at QPR. Mike did the quality control and specs verifying, but Josh had his hands in them.

I think LSE Peformance as a "shop" has done 60+....longblocks (between the 3 of us).
Mike was more quality control,(QPR) as Allan mentioned. I did do my fair share of motor work with QPR.

-It would be nice if he used rubber/latex gloves when touching bearing material, fingerprints can create hot spots/marks/faster wear areas.
You've been hanging around Raptor too long. When you're putting assembly lube on bearing surfaces, fingerprints don't mean squat. That sounds like one of those lines he'd snowball the newbies with. :rolleyes: :D

If you watch NHRA racing on ESPN2, or just plain been to a big event. You'll see that just about all them guys use latex gloves.

A reason for that is because the graphites and some of the other ingredients are known cancer causing substances. When working with assembly lubes, moly lubes, etc. it is best to wear your latex gloves. Just an FYI.
