Yeah he missed some stuff...

The motor only lasted a few miles anyways.

Wonder why? ;)
Wasn't I called "mean" for calling that video out when it popped up on the site a few months ago.
Maybe that was on 3si I don't recall.

It was here.

I didnt say you were mean for that. It was true.

I ended up talking to the guy about it and he said it was just for fun. He wanted a video that could show a build in less than 10mins. The build actually took 3 days to complete but the bearings went after a short distance.

Its a cool video and a good idea but I hope people dont follow his steps thinking its the correct way of building an engine.

Alright, I guess it was on 3si that I was yelled at for being "mean" and a "noob"....
3 days? We have a completed racing longblock in 3 days. Great idea for a movie, its a bummer the bearings went.

Re: 4g63 rebuilding fast
 

So I give, what did he do wrong, and why did the bearings go so quickly?

Re: 4g63 rebuilding fast
 

well the berings have to sit in there just right, and if they don't, your gonna have spots that wear... I've herd of old engine buildiers takeing alot of time and many trys before their done fiddleing with the bering on an install...

lol, i fell asleep in my chair watching that. but cool none the less.

Re: 4g63 rebuilding fast
 

There's a lot of test fitting and taking measurements, not to mention small machining issues with some bearings. Two sets of Clevites I used last spring had small burrs on the ends, they took a little clean up before I was putting them in. Most of the measuring is really just to check up on the machinist though, there's not much you can do if the bearing clearance isn't right except bring it back to the machine shop. Plus setting the thrust bearing is probably the most crucial part of dropping the crank in.

So what is a good guide on how to properly rebuild an engine? How would I find out all these little things if I was doing a garage rebuild?
