Agreed. Many yrs ago, my buddy who's been racing since 70s and has built countless motors told me "If you dont dare lick it, it aint clean enough" (for engine building)
That don't mean much i taste the random fluids to see whats leaking or if the oil if full of gas
@@zachwebb6879 That's dumb.
I like it dirty
I love your attention to detail, it's what sets great engine builders apart
Thank you very much!
@@realstreetperformance Do you have a ring filing video on the B20 too? Thanks!!
Jay is out here doing gods working teaching a lot of people how to do their own engines. All for free. A real enthusiast
Real Genna Jay..🇯🇲. Never know WD-40 meant..Water Displacement.. Real teacher.. Always a wonderful time watching Jay, so great with details for the average person watching
Big up!! Thank you for watching!
A+ on the crank cleaning tip. Love to learn new things!
Thanks for the tips too best of luck on all your builds this year vato
I hear he shaves his head because he's that dedicated to the cleanliness of his engine builds.
Then why doesn’t he shave his arms as well?
Cleaning a clean block the concrete u were working washing your motors on was cleaner than my driveway!! Nice !!
One of the very best channels on YT to pick up new tricks and details when it comes to engines.
Thank you! We appreciate your support and feedback
Jay I really stumbled on your videos today and I can tell you, you have me hooked. I can confess I av spend the last 4 to 5 hours just absorbing knowledge you’re imparting. I realize you’re a very smart guy but the thing I admire about you the most is how meticulous you are. I usually watch youtube videos and don’t always subscribe to channels, I just realized also I can’t remember you asking anyone to subscribe to your channel unlike most people usually just bombard viewers to subscribe. Keep up the good work man because there’re a lot of people in this world who’re selfish with knowledge or just don’t know how to impart it.
I'm so glad I have Jay to tell me how to properly clean my bottom end
I'm going onto this next step very soon, been using your videos to figure out bearing clearances and rod bolt stretch... Thanks for everything you do for the community Jay, one enthusiast to another!! Greetings from Ventura California
Same
This is a really well put together video! Music, info and all the shots 10/10
Glad you enjoyed it!
I currently have vw, mk4, 1.8t block and head at the machine shop.
I'll be using your cleaning process.
Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the next episode.
maaan cant help but keep saying this video is worth every single second! currently rebuilding a B16a done by someone else and right off the bat
mains and rod bearings have traces of dirty oil passage ways upon start up
Amazing video thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽
WD-40 (water displacement 40th formula) I liked the fact that you Sir mentioned time and time again about the cylinder bore valleys (cross hatch) critical to get spotless clean . Thanx a Mint !
Love these educational videos. This one made my ocd happy
Thorough and methodical! This was a pleasure to watch. I love your work Jay. You also taught me what WD40 stood for - I didn't know until now 🤣
Thank you so much for these videos really helps a lot.
Couldn't click like fast enough! Thanks for all the great knowledge Jay and @realstreet! Yall da "REAL" MVP
Our pleasure!
Another great video, thank you
I am rebuilding an BMW N62 it uses the Alusil block. My machinist bored and honed with the felt pads/sunnen paste. He went out to the looser end of the piston to wall clearance specification, as we intend on supercharging it after a proper break in. We went .5 mm oversize with the pistons purchased directly from BMW, these oversized piston kits came with their rings pre installed. I would rather not remove them so I purchased one set of the .5 mm piston rings to check end gap with them and hopefully the machinist set the wall clearance correctly. I just hope i don’t need to marry each piston to a cylinder as I asked him about doing this and he said it was not necessary due to the fact that BMW is very accurate on their machining processes.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks for the awesome video, I am building my channel as well.
Just been a tool, use eye protection, heavy duty rubber gloves when dealing w brake cleaner, and also a well ventilated area (have a fan), a N95 mask will help prevent breath BC.
Brake cleaner is super strong cleaning agent, protect your eyes, skin and lungs.
Can't wait for the assembly video
Good stuff Jay...LET'S GO 🏁
Thanks Craig!
Old tricks of the trade I've been doing this for about 20 years always works 🙏💪
Amazing just got a block half month ago been watching videos how to clean it, you are well explanatory! Video is very helpful
Glad it helped!
Great information thank you
Very nice vid.
Might add that mineral spirits is what one want to use. Here in sweden it often is called lacknafta. But there is often no distiction between mineral spirit and terpentine. One must make sure to usen the mineral kind since it does not leave any resudue behind like the terpentine version does.
Not sure if this confusion exist in other countries than Sweden.
Also another youtuber called jafro recommend using coffee filters for cleaning. He has real ocd when it comes to cleaning..😅
The tip on the dead end in the oil passage on the crank was a good tip. Never thought of that..
Whats funny is this amazing engine building guy i know, Water blasts the blocks after a degrease, Says "If it dont rust its not clean". Hahah. Love it. Thanks for the videos Jay.
I really enjoyed this video, wouldn't mind seeing the video on how to prevent flash rust on cast iron blocks.
Great tutorial video
Jay is some type of high end Engineer lol not your average engine builder, like an average Joe. Love this!!!
Great help
sweet video, also i cant wait to watch your video of murda's 2jz assembly video !
Y yo pensé que limpiaba bien los motores, exelente trabajo ❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️
Coffee filters are the best cheap wiping material to clean engine parts. Disposable, cheap, durable, absorbent, and doesn't leave lint behind.
I use lacquer thinner, per the machinist. On the entire engine. No soap and water.
However, the engines always come back from the machinist immaculately clean!
Wow bro I like the way you work
BADASS!
Awesome
Excellent video. I realise now I should delay my engine rebuild plans until I have the cleaning equipment and the clean workspace to do the job properly and not just using degreaser, rags, towels and cans of brake/carb cleaner.
If I just got my block back from the machine shop. Should I wash then preassemble and measure, then final assemble? Or should I do all preassembe checks then wash before final assy? Thanks
Sir thank you for the information provided in the video but I have a question how do I clean my rods that have built up a minor rust powder around them is CLR safe? They are boss302 rods coyote also crank has minor rust powder buildup
Personally never liked cleaning bores or machined surfaces with water based products due to chemical rust reaction that happens very quickly once water is introduced. I prefer to solvent + oil base clean with ATF which is messy and smelly but with no chance of flash rust.
Excellent advice
What’s the formula boss - k24a2?
Thank you
Anytime!
very clean now she can performance very well love it this parts its super important I see a lot off engine failure because parts are not clean well also a fingertips can damage a engine ❤
Could I use scotch-brite to clean the bores and other surfaces?
What paint do u use to make the block look that clean?
Dame that's some deep deep cleaning.
what about a total rusted crank except the jourals? is it ok to put it in a container with evapo rust away?
Can I bring you my 1986 big block ? It needs a good detailing before I slide it together ?
I have a Ford 351W block that was machined, washed with soap and water, and already has the cam bearings and freeze plugs installed. It has been stored away for over 7 years because I had gotten sick and while in storage it has collected a bit of surface rust even after spraying some WD40 gel spray and regular spray after washing and drying 7 yrs ago. I really want to finish what I started and hopefully prevent from taking the block back to the machine shop as money is now tight. How can I go about cleaning the minimal surface rust that is on the cylinder bores and block deck?
I'm in that exact same situation, although mine is a motorcycle engine. But it laid apart for way too long. I've heard , I can open the drains and use kerosene to clean it out , but I wanna ask a few experienced guys , before I do that.
How would you clean the surfaces of where the cam bearings press in?
We used to take it all to wash world and spend $20 washing them there.. loved all the colourful soaps.. I feel like they really helped 😂
What kind of parts washer is that? Did you modify it to be more of a dry sump system so the tank isn't full of solution?
Would this kind of cleaning be a good idea after the cylinder have been cut ?
You know how many people don't know what wd40 stands for or what it was developed for? Youre honestly one of the only people I've heard actually call it that...
It's a great product and helps in many ways.
This Guy likes Cleaning.
what is the model of your parts washer?
Home gamer tip, you can use coffee filters instead of lint free towels in a pinch, also any good parts store that mixes auto paint should keep in stock actual lint free towels.
after watching this video I think the only thing I did right on my engine was mounting the oil filter
Lol same
🤣🤣🤣
That block is already clean
In old time manufactures purposely kept blocks outside for few weeks to rust them. It is technology how to make "hone" without honing. Because rust actually creates pits and valleys in right conditions.
Also, rust doesn't change geometry so fast. Speed of rust propagation into material is like 100 micrometers/year. So, even inside salty water iron will rust less than 1 micron in 24h. And typical size of valleys after honing is few microns.
This is perfectly timed, I am just waiting for the last couple things to assemble my 2j
Good luck on the new build! It's going to be awesome.
Me too, pistons are the only thing left. Coming from----->REAL STREET!!
@@realstreetperformance thanks! Been playing with Toyota's for a bit now, started with a 22r, then a 7mge, 1uz and now I stumbled across a 2jz. This is going to be my first turbo engine, can't wait
Coffee filters are best , cheap and 💯 % lint free
I washed out the cylinders on my very first turbo build after notching them to fit my new forged rods - it started rusting in SECONDS. I sprayed it down with WD-40 really quick, but you could still see a tiny bit of surface rust. So I wiped them down as shown in the video and then they looked nice and clean. The build worked out great with no problems in the end.
Still.... I couldn't believe how fast those iron sleeves can rust.
with such a large parts washer id clean the block there. just my 2cents
what is the beat at 11:40?
Galley, a kitchen on a ship.
Gallery, a long narrow passage.
🤣🤣
ive been using a leaf blower forever because i don't have an air compressor, Been accidentally doin it right! lol.
Question to anyone how do I clean my oil passages on my 2jz ?
Omg when you blasted the deadhead in the crank. Thats nasty. What kinda build is this motor getting? Those rods looked pretty beefy and those pistons are sex.
Why use ATF what properties benefit you here? Also is there an alternative to ATF?
Never complain that a machine shop takes too much time when their attention to detail is this high.
You can use your air compressor, but when finished, simply spray down completely with WD40. Badda bing, badda bip!!!... no more water!!
And BTW, for those of you working with cast iron blocks, you absolutely do not want to let any water stand anywhere! Unplug all oil galleries, blow out with compressed air, get it all outta there asap, then spray down heavily with WD40. Last thing you want is rust in your oil galleries flowing into your bearings, unless that's the effect you're looking for, but I highly doubt it.
P.S. Oil galleries. 😉
I see so many builds over to the side with the heads still off or just valve covers off. And someone grinding metal or welding and whatever. Kills me to see that cause you know all that metal dust and dirt in general is just going into that engine built or not. If have something in an area of contamination. Wrap it up multiple times I've seen stuff get past those engine bags. Even when I pull an engine for future builds I tape off the intake and exhaust or turbo inlets. Anything that would be left open tape it up. Could save you alot of head ache in the future.
Was always told to use atf to clean cylinder walls then just coat them with wd40
Very similar steps used in this video. Both combos work well.
Florida is a horrible place to live. The heat is a killer. Especially in August!! I was there for work for 14 years working for Volocity aircraft. I am in Louisiana now and retired. It's not much better but a little.
Ohhh yeah ;) plung that block jk
Why not just dip everything in oil after immediately after you wash them? Literally, have a bucket of oil where you dunk the pieces right after you wash them then the water is displaced and you place the parts in a basket and the oil just runs off. What would happen if you did that?
@3:22 😍😍 🥜🥜
LOL.
well i don't have a solvent tank so ill pay my machine shop to clean the main block and ill just clean the heads by hand I've been doing it like that for years
temiz blogu herkez temizler yegenim :D
Before knew what WD in WD-40 was for before this video. Not me fa sure
You washed 4 cylinders right off the block ? 🤣
1st 👍🏾
Dammit
@@fredlewis8929 sorry ☹️
Oh Yeah
2:58 everything reminds me of her 😥
This is very different from sloppy mechanics channel.
This is only for OCD people. The guy fixing F150 under the tree manages to rebuild his and gets another ten thousandt miles, no problem.
“Paper towel” used not multiple paper towels
I would be tempted to submerge everything in kerosene
The content is good but the music is seriously annoying. This an academic subject not a disco.
never use water. just dump everything in gasoline and scrub with plastic brush. Your process is too much work.
that was not a dirty block lol
The music is terribly annoying and so are the subtitles 👎
I'm calling this bullshit the block looks brand new try doing this with a junk yard motor build or any motor that has alot of mileage I promise u will need more elbow grease motors do not clean up that easy🤣
Hi, as mentioned in the video this block has been through a hot tank at the machine shop. This takes care of all the heavy cleaning you are referring to.
I should call her....
