I worked at a fireprotection fab shop most of the welds was made by a robot and others the welder welded the outlet on. And man this method works great showed up anything. Thanks for sharing old man.🤙
Just goes to show, a guy can go fast on a budget and don't have to have a lot of fancy tools. Some elbow grease and save yourself enough money to pay for rocker arms or a cam. Cleaning, milling guides, rocker stands probably saved you 2-300 in machine shop fees.
it's a dye penetrant in reality it's probably a better product/procedure than using an ac or dc yoke that a machine shop would use. A yoke is about 1. step up from your eyes and a kid could learn to use it in about 5 mins. as far as NDT goes using a yoke is pretty much the bottom of the barrel.
Your videos have been a life saver for me, sir, you've taught me more about ol' Chevy Heads than I could've learned from any of the pros!
Thanks man that's good to hear

Done this a to a lot of stock heads
They also crack between exhaust ports and exhaust bolts holes
Just a little fyi for the home builders
Good tip!
Very nice. Thank you
Great show
Yeah, I know it's a old video but the best way to check them is to take a torch and heat them up and if they r cracked then you would know
Kevin I agree I was trying to show how you can do it at home everyone may not have a torch
Arp bolts can crack vortec heads. If I could go back I'd use the tty bolts.
great tip thanks
thats some neat stuff
it works pretty good
Never seen or heard of that stuff. Just magnaflux for iron and pressure check for alluminum
cf the stuff works pretty good

Crack kills
Good video! I learn something new everyday on CZcams. 👍👍
If there is any doubt a black light will make the cracks glow.
after i videoed i cleaned up the heads and went thru the process again and they come out good
Help me saved a lot of money I’m gunna see if this 355 is good or not I had coolant shoot out from the oil pan gasket
good deal glad it helped you out
@@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726 where did you get the material from ?
@@jeremiah_c10 I picked the stuff up at my local welding supply store air gas I think is the store chain name the two cans were around 10 bucks each
The developer needs shaked up more it should be white
Looks good.. just polish it with hone! make it flat!
chris im thinking i will get them shaved around 030 thou
👍
thanks chevy
@@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726 your welcome old man they definitely have some neat stuff out there thanks for sharing.
Machines think that you have to pay them like a banker or the IRS
How do you know their vortec heads how do tell does it have any numbers?
I’m looking for some but I don’t know what to look for to make sure their 062 heads
the last 3 numbers in the castings basically tell you what they are 902 and 062 are the better vortec heads
@@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726 thank you so much!
