Sometimes, we jump out of cars for no particularly good reason. So if you got a hankering for some down and dirty how-to tech action with whole lot of goofy gooberness, come on down the Red Dirt Rodz, we'll git you fixed, son.

How To Install A Catch Can On A Gen V LT1
zhlédnutí 413Před 4 měsíci
Gen V LT-series engines produce a lot of oil vapor and because there is no fuel in the intake port of the head, the intake valves end up with a ton of carbon build-up. This leads to sticky valves which wear out the rest of the valvetrain components. You can solve this by adding a catch can inline with the dirty side of the PCV system. Watch as Jefferson explains how the system works, and how to...

Does setting like gain like this only work if the speakers have a higher rated RMS than the amp can put out? If they are below the amps and volume is increased on the head, won’t that cause damage to the speakers?
@STE6168 no. Distortion is what kills speakers, not power. You can run 1k watts to a 10 watt speaker, as long as it has a clean signal and you dont bottom out the driver. Essentially, you are setting the maximum clean volume. After that, you have to listen to your system. The speakers will let you know when it is too much- burning smell, popping, crunchy audio, etc. Regardless of the speakers and their power ratings, you always set your gains this way so that your signal is alwasy clean no matter how loud you turn it up, provided you don't exceed the head unit's max clean output.
It's be a good idea to vacuum before taking anything apart.
@@fernandomatias603 we did! Lol
why not just use panel bond and seal those edges forever?
@michaelmenard8913 we wanted to weld it up like original, but yes, panel bonding is great, I use it all the time. The other issue is that welding is cheap, PBA is $60-70 for a 200ml tube, and we would need two tubes. Back when it was $20 a tube, I used it all the time. We do use it regularly on our fiberglass reproduction Corvettes, we are planning some videos on the fabrication of our C1 Vette bodies, so stick around for that!
I could watch this a million times, yall got me cracking up the whole time 😂😂 yall got no right being this funny !!!
Love the Mid South hat!!!
P Diddy here, nice video love the commentator
That's great 😂
I did this before watching this video and got worried maybe I should not have... glad to see I am not the only one :)
Doesn't anybody show a front split bench seat step by step?
Not a fan of the hoses I would try to bend and make hard lines with an fittings on the ends and use as little of the hose at the end of the hard lines as possible at least for the pressure side that goes to power steering pump and I would run a solid hardline on the return line that runs from the steering box to the hydroboost side but keep as much hardline as possible and route them as evenly as possible towards the steering box or brake side for a hydroboost set up this is what I'm planning for on my build im just here getting ideas feel like the hoses look a little on the clumsy side would rather go for a cleaner look in my opinion but I definitely like the banjo fittings at the hydroboost end
@chevecrazy454ss hard lines are nice, but they dont give you much room for error or changes. This car sees a lot parts swaps as I use it for a test mule a lot.
Does the bearing sticking out on # 5 not interfere with the fuel pump lifter ? Maybe on an after market cam with a bigger fuel lobe?
@coltonsmith3397 no, that is how it is factory. There is a ton of clearance.
@@Reddirtrodz on the factory one it has that cut out and doesn’t stick out into the fuel pump lifter at all
@coltonsmith3397 where are you seeing the bearing stick out? Share a timecode from the video showing what you are asking about.
@@Reddirtrodz I look down the fuel pump lifter bore and see the bearing sticking out.
@coltonsmith3397 on your engine? I thought you were asking about the engine in my video, lol. You need to make sure the oiling hole in the bearing is centered over the oiling port in the cam journal. If it is properly installed, there should not be any exposed bearing material. Go find me on Facebook facebook.com/share/nDWwKA3AkKU7WxPD/?mibextid=qi2Omg and send me a PM with a pic so I can see it.
Do you think you could protect a trucks frame with this stuff?
@@nicholasvachek5991 not really for that, it wouldn't last.
Mf I would never trust a man to swap anything that can't even manage to not start a fire with starter fluid😂😂
You don't have to push really hard, back it off 1/8-1/4 of a turn when you 1st thread in the hose... it'll still compress how it should and will actually lock in with more steel threads if you were unable to do it all the way up.
This is exactly what I needed. Very informative!. Thanks!
Ya this kit is nice. I bought it and installed it but what's BS about the entire thing is that it covers the timing tab. Making it impossible to get timing when rebuilding an engine. I've had to resort to timing it on the opposite/underside of the thing. It's been a pain that's for sure
So you're saying spend $4 more dollars and buy a new one lol
@scottschmittmusic not all wheel cylinders are available new, and this is the kind of skill that could be very useful someday.
Can this be done with any other glue beside the one that requires a compressor? Like a possible can spray?
@Aquafeee you dont have to spray this glue, you can use a bristle brush (not foam).
@@Reddirtrodz pick up my 72 on Monday the carpet definitely needs redone I’ve watched so many videos I think I got this 🙏
@@Reddirtrodzalso should I scrape off all the old glue build up?
@Aquafeee it doesn't make much difference on carpet, as you wont be able to see it, and it won't affect the adhesion. For vinyl, like on a door panel, yes, you would remove the old glue.
I am working on my first Ls swap. 03' Crown Vic Police Interceptor Ls3/6L90E. I have the block done and I am at the heads stage. I found a set of low milage 821 Ls3 heads. No valves but for $300 oh well lol. Oh and I need rockers so I am prob gonna get screwed by the time I get done. Cause I can't just pay a chunk at once it costing me alot more in the long run lol. Oh well. That's how it goes down home!!!.
@GrandPitoVic get on Marketplace, you can get the parts you need there fairly cheap.
@@Reddirtrodz Cool deal, thank you!!!!
I haven’t researched it yet but was told this mount is only rated for 400hp. Have you had any issues?
@Enjoytheinbetween who said that? The output of the engine has no bearing on the accessory drive.
What’s wrong with the 1uz? The whole reason I wanted to get one is simply because it has the 1uz
@@elijahsmithers6504 in theory, nothing is wrong with a 1UZ, but we don't have one! LOL
hi howe to get the seat covers
@user-fl5we5vc5v you can order them directly from TMI www.tmiproducts.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkdO0BhDxARIsANkNcreUtdGcKfA4-5lXWev-sHbhVJKxo8KC1VSN1JaOs-hQ33IRO_lEr9QaAsK6EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
is there any way on these/any head units to lower the max volume (to 24 in your case) so it thinks max volume is 24 or do you just have to know and not turn it above 24?
@@sparkie5571 unfortunately no.
@@Reddirtrodz appreciated! been living with it for a while on my head unit and it would be a great feature for these manufacturers
My alpine radio has a vol lv ajuster. If I turn it up or down it seems to act just like a volume knob. My understanding would be turning the volume lvl adjust down by however many numbers until max. Say radios max is 35 but you have distortion at 29 so you would turn it down to -8 so that at 35 your only actually playing 28. If I'm wrong on this assumption pls let me know.
Oh hell yeah I wanna see an ls in this sc300/400
You'd get a ton of views if you made a gasket for the GR86/BRZ oil pan. Those guys are starving for a solution to eliminate the RTV issue.
@@JupiterxBlues thanks for the tip!
😎👍
Hello sir I’ll be tackling this on my l83 engine can you tell me what brand installer/puller you used? And have you had any issues with using that gen 4 bearing instead of the gen 5?
@tantic8108 the bearings are the same inner and outer diameter, the difference is gen V stock bearings are split with a puzzle-piece keeper, and the gen IV LS design is a single piece. Split bearings are less desirable. I used a cam bearing installer tool from Powerhouse Tools.
Will gen iv fit in the gen v
@tylerb2494 use the 3rd design LS cam bearings, fit perfectly.
@@Reddirtrodz thank you I couldn’t find a answer nowhere online
Thank you for posting this great video. Can this manifold be painted over on top of the graphite?
No, the graphite color is the only option. Nothing will stick to it. But it stays clean for a long time and can be touched up without looking touched up. It always blends together
@@ReddirtrodzHad bought two cast Iron exhaust manifolds which supposedly came painted with ceramic paint from the factory. I sprayed both of them with CERAKOTE Cobalt high heat color. I am restoring this Chevy Truck. one manifold started rusting in few spots. The other one is still perfect. Looking for a way to stop the rust so I can repaint it. Thank You
Do you have a part number on the hose?...ive got a box of braided lines just wana make sure i use the rite type for my ps system.
Great video just ordered me one of the tools
Just be patient and makesure you use the right mandrel.
So you didn't really want a Helix
Lol, still a helix!
WHERE CAN I GET THAT !
We get it from NAC (North American Composites), which is nationwide. We have changed the way we apply it, need to make a new video on that, it works even better, parts practically fall out.
I would just use a vice grip and tug the zip tie.
This ensures the lock doesn't bend or break, which is very common on SS ties, and it gets then as tight as they can go without damage.
The alligator clip is scratching that centre pin terribly. Braiding before soldering would be best. The drain blue wire is excellent idea almost like an XLR connection!
Would this work if you looped some of the braided wire in the door by the speaker, or would the loop cancel what the braid is doing? So, not necessarily running a new wire, just creating a "noise sink" at the door.
Running it around the speaker wouldn't do anything positive. The braid is the noise sink for the low voltage signal, it won't help with any other noise, and looping any signal wire creates an antenna for noise, which should be megsted by the braid, but I wouldn't do it.
@Reddirtrodz we are on the same page. "-) I also get that you need at least 18 braids. I was thinking if you then used that 18 braid section at the speaker as a service loop we'll say, then i dont have to rerun the whole connection. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, the old wire could be my pull string. Ha ha
im looking at making a l83 4.8L have you compare gen v crank vs gen 4
Could it be done without removing the crank pistons?
No, you have to pull the crank to get to the cam journals to put the bearings on the tool, can't slide them in from the front/rear. You dont have to pull the pistons though.
Amazing video. We would like to show this video on our channel with your permission. We will add your link and your name will also be mentioned in the video. Let us know what you think
Get some help!
Idk if the coil size comes into play to coz on my 4inch voice coil at 1700 watts on 2 12s I do 150.9 sealed meter on the dash this videos is gonna help me get some gains
Everything comes into play. This is theoretical, you cant just put 8k watts on a 400 watt sub, it will nuke it.
If your poor excuse for a soldering iron WAS"NICE & HOT" like u said, the solder would melt within 2 seconds. Tinning the iron would help too as would using flux. This is NOT what I'd call a tutorial on soldering anything. This is how no idea experts do it. Nice work, except it's terrible. Sorry to break it to you.
Sure, the solder melts instantly on the tip, but you have to heat up the base metal, which takes longer than a couple of seconds. If you just let the solder melt on the tip to the wire, you get a cold solder joint. Take your no clue having ass out of the comments, bud. Flux is not needed with rosin core solder for electronics. Hate to break it to you...
You must not be in the rust belt, that is a super solid car especially for a ‘67 (later cars were dipped and don’t rust quite as bad) around here only a really well taken care of pre ‘68 car looks that good. I’ve done at least a half dozen of these and every one WAY worse. Good thing the floors look good, they have over 120 spot weld per side.😂
Oh, the rockers alone had that many, lol! We are in Oklahoma, where rust is bad, but not Michigan bad.
I wish you were serious about this cause thats what i need to do
What do you mean? This was a serious repair video, the amp from the video is back in service.
@Neushoorn63 these are shorts, they provide a quick overview of the process. Our full-length videos are very detailed.
Rubber gas hose works way better. You have some flex and cause zero damage.
It means that there ready for the scrap yard
Thanks for the video. Question, when rerouting a section of OEM pre-bent line, like for a new larger cooler that's located in a new spot, is it safe to bend that OEM hard line like you are here - all the same stuff, just use care not to kink or crimp, right? Just want to be sure that stuff doesn't split or crack, not sure how they form and harden it. Thanks.
Yes, as long as it doesnt kink, it is OK to bend. It should not split.
@@Reddirtrodz Thanks. Can you recommend a hand type bender for doing smaller tighter pieces? My dad had some real old small roller type benders but long gone now. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated. Will take my time, I understand no guarantees - just what you might suggest.
nice
I love the floor boards at 8:19.
