Life is good when bob puts out a new video .
Non il faut que j’aille pisser
obelix. Faites pipi pour moi pendant que vous y êtes. Ha haa ... je plaisante, je viens de faire pipi sur le porche arrière. ... google traduction français
Can't wait to hear her run.👍😊🌄
Soon .... well, soon for me means maybe this month ... LOL 👀
I learned how to build um and put um together from my father in-law. He is gone now. He liked to use STP and motor oil mixed together on the rotating assembly. Said, if you had to leave it sit for a long time before you fired it up you are good to go. He was from Harrisville MS. Bubba Mullins. Good man RIP. You remind me a lot of him Bob.
Yep ... I've done that too ... STP and motor oil makes excellent assembly lube. Lucas and oil works too. I didn't use that on this engine just straight 20w50 with zink ... it's slick as Gorilla snot.
Man I can listen to Bob all damn day✌️
Nothing better than a Big Block Chevy ... and Bob's videos of course !
Alright,new vid.Made my evening. 👍 👍
You make it look easy Bob.
All I can say Bob is WOW that is a beautiful thing and also my mouth is waterin'
Thanks for the video. I worked Cummins Engine Co. rodding engines. Bring back memories!
Awesomeness once again
A video of this type has been sorely missing from youtube
It’s always nice to see people stay busy
Just the way I do it. I still have some plastic gauge my father give me when started building engines when I was 13 years old. My first was a Ford 6 cylinder. I'm 56 now working on a 350 4 bolt main for my 74 k10 4×4.
A person can learn alot from you Bob, great Video
The second I saw an old dude in coveralls and a Jegs hat, I knew I had landed on the right channel.
BoB watching you putting that engine together Im thinking your one Mitty fine mechanic . Cheers . 😵💫🛻🛠👍🤠
Not many things look better going back together than a fresh bottom end... so clean 👍
Thanks brother.
It's not every day you can compliment another man's bottom end
@@RadRob84- stopped by, too bad no video's
@@TheCanadianBubba Sorry Bubba, I might upload content someday. I haven't found my purpose yet.
Nothing better than a good teacher 💯
Great job Bob!
Nothin better when the engine starts to go together that's the halfway point for me, knowing that gets me reinvigorated to finish my project. I hope it's the same for you Mr. Bob!!!!!
Great job showing us how it's done!
It's not about who you are or where you come from it's about know how and having the right tools
Great video. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks 😀 👍.
Always enjoy watching RAT ROD BOB!
Now this is something I have done, so I can really relate. Man, those KB pistons are beautiful. Excellent work Mr. Bob. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
It's a shame to have to put those pistons in there where they'll never be seen again. There are really easy on the eyes.
@@RatRodBobBuilds Yeah...
@@RatRodBobBuilds The only time you don't want to see a piston is if it threw a leg outa bed!
Well Hell I figured Red was going to help with the build.
I just wanted to say I've watched a lot of engine building videos and yours is by far the most understandable up to this point. I will be rebuilding my first engine within the next month or so so thanks for the help man! It's just gonna be a ol 350!
Cool, thanks!
Great video Bob !!!!
Thank you Bob,for another great video...
Bob I don't know what to say that was simply just poetry in motion man oh man what a great video kudos sir
I appreciate it
WHAT A MASTER!!!!👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bob is the best so far I watch him for a very long time
Nice memories Bob.
Ah .... been there and done that huh! I'm the same way watching others videos of things I've done .... brings back memories and I feel like I'm right there amongst it.
@@RatRodBobBuilds I'm 78 years young now but I cherish every chance I get to go back to the good old days. Back when you didn't have CZcams to teach the skills.
Love your engine building videos!
Reds just sitting there looking in the distance. Wonder what he’s thinking about ?😎
He really looks dazed and confused. I'll talk to him.
Thank you Bob! Im building a couple 454's and to save thousands im doing it myself. Well, hopefully it saves me money and lasts. 😂😂 i will be watching this vid a few times for the basics. Thank you so much for this vid!🤘🏻👊🏻🤘🏻✌️
That smash Guage is great stuff...love simple tools that get the job Done!!! Nice job.
Yes ... now I have to find something to check valve to piston clearance next. Too bad my kids are grown and there's no playdough laying around.
This was probably the most informative video I've seen about the topic.
I love building engines, but at the same time it can be nerve racking knowing the endless things to double check and what can happen if you don't. Dan at DD had his lifters take out the cam, incorrectly machined base on several of them from Comp Cams. Just watched him pull it back out. Due diligence with todays parts!!!
You got this!
Awesome job with instructions on engine assembly . I like the details on which way parts are assembled👍
Thanks for the video Bob it really helps when we are trying to learn this stuff to be able to do it ourselves..
hey campesino sureño eres un joyero con los motores y los fierros me gustan tus videos un saludo desde francia !!
I pulled the 283 outta my 39 I'm going with the Keith Black pistons also,saving up for some more parts before heading to the machine shop
Great videos as always thanks Bob made my night as well
Great video. Lots of info and tips. Loved it. Love to see old/conventional motors being put together and then fired up. LS/Coyotes, etc. have their place but I'm old school. Look forward to the next one. Be safe and stay well.
Awesome job, it's certainly getting there, but better to do all once then in a rush, all the best to you and your loved ones
Coming together nicely Bob. Going to make a good driver. You would think if Red wasn’t going to help at least he could bring you something cold to drink instead of just sitting there 🤣🤣🤣. See you on the next one ✌️😎👍
Yea gonna have find Red something to do besides watching me work. LOL
Hey Bawb, Just like i was taught in school. You make it look so eazy, no wonder Red sat this one out!!! Lookin' like you might have this one in time for turkey day.
You mean Turkey Day 2023 right? Ha haa ... shooting for Christmas but I still have a ton of work to do and my body keeps saying ... you idiot, take the rest of the day off with pay.
Good stuff Bob, can’t wait to here that Big Block roar to life….Nothin like American muscle! 🇺🇸
That first crank should be awesome. FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Thank you sir ! So glad to find you
Love the old timers no one does it better
Awesome video Bob !
nothing like learning from the masters, grew up with that, Dad once he had it back together he would rotate the rolling assemble while having a set of beers with oil being applied until he thought it was good, to ensure the rings are starting to set there position he would say.
That's exactly what I was feeling turning that engine, getting the rings in a happy place.
Awesome video can’t wait for the next one.
Really good video thanks Bob.
A lot of good information Bob.
Great tips as usual Bob 👍
Awesome stuff Bob!
I think you did a fine job. Thanks.
Looking good Bob. Great job 👍👍🇨🇱
Very good video Bob.
love your work and sharing knowledge Sir
I can relate, so satisfying.
I’m thinking about doing my own this is good inspiration
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff Bob. You do nice work in that little shop where dreams can come true and you do a great job of getting it all on video. Thanks again.
Awesome video Bob
Earned a sub, thank you breaking it down even more for me!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks this is a awesome video to teach ppl
Looking good Bob
I've been waiting for you to do a video like this. Thank you bob
You mean the engine build or just a serious video in general instead of goofing off with Red?
@@RatRodBobBuilds the engine build. I always wanted to build an engine from start to finish.
Thanks Bob 👍
Love it Bob
Doin er right bawb, I'm diggin it
Yelp. That's how I was taught. Love putting those engines together. 👍 👍
Excellent video thank you
Great episode Bob. This is my favorite content. I like when you get straight to business. Many thx. 👍
Engine building is serious business ... can't be fooling around with that.
old school torque action right there... Excellent video sir !!! Subscribed !!
Big Block = Power!!!
This is true. But they're not very good at passing up gas stations. LOL
I thought the mighty big little 400 SBC was it ... until a dragster race car fellow got me obsessed with the canted valve Big Blocks ...
I was watching this and thinking how great it would be if on your electric impact wrench if you could set the torque, just turn it up to 95 and it would automatically stop there. That would be pretty awesome. Lol
Looks like you’re definitely getting it.
Actually they make torque extensions for an impact. Looks like a regular extension but it gives/twists and a certain torque ... weird . They have them for different torques and mostly used to torque lug nuts. I never tried them but I need too!
@@RatRodBobBuilds i got some of those. Theyre different colors for different torque levels.
That ring spreader is the only kind I've ever had.
COOL it s been a long time since i bult my 350 working on a ls
Saw Elvira by your back wall and subscribed! I’m enjoying your content but Elvira was what pulled me in to check out your channel 😁🇺🇸
Mistress of the dark. She's a looker now for sure!
I like the dail pointer t. q. Wrench they work.
love it!
Sweet!!
Yes Sir. Thats the way I was taught to do it.
Thanks
Thank you
Thank You GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤗
Thank you for the video I'm going to redo my old Caddy this winter and I need all the extra help I can get. The motor only has sixty thousand on it but it's been setting since 89 and I took the heads off and had a couple intake valves bent and an exhaust valve bent . So i thought i might as well rebuild it just to be safe
After you get those pesky heads fixed you should be able to just hone it and re-ring and bearing it. That is, if it's been loved.
Just come across your video.🤩👍👍
Good stuff my friend. 💢Subscribed 💢
Where's Red he should be helping out? Looking good
Bob Wants The Engine To Run NOT BLOW UP 😤😤✅
Good point Gary.
Just imagine the moonshiners,,back in the day ,, they hot the cars up with bugger all ,,couple of spanners ,,and a lot of luck,lol😂 no fancy pants tools like we got ,,and they still made hp,,
Those guys knew their stuff. Hey Joe .... I got your big block ready and I think you'll be real happy with it. Ain't no cops gonna keep up with ya for sure.
It’s gonna be great.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Means a lot coming from a brother car guy.
Personally I like to stab the camshaft in before dropping the crank in one final time--that way you can reach inside the crankcase to guide 'er thru the bearings instead of trying to do with with leverage at one end of the camshaft. As for checking piston ring gaps or installing valve seats on a head, distorting the block or head with a torque plate means you've got things set up the way they are when the block is complete. but no one has a torque plate, so grab a stack of washers or an old wrist pin and torque 'em around the cylinder you're working on to replicate the distortion. when pushing in the piston, turn the block around so the deck you're working on is level with the ground--might as well let gravity be your friend. Use a fish scale to pull down each piston and connecting rod--if a ring is hanging up the different measurement on the scale will warn you right quick.
Thanks Albert. That's some good advice and on the cam installation I usually install it before the crank too but this time I forgot. Not the end of the world, deal with it and move on.
@@RatRodBobBuilds I hear you, as the Rangers say, FIDO. Engine stands are really universal tools--I've used 'em to install shift kits in automatic transmissions while sitting in a comfy seat, use a pair as a body shell rotisserie and some rear axle repairs and as a welding stand for large awkward items I wanted to be able to roll around 360 degrees. the trick is to bolt the attachment to your part and then use an engine hoist to get it up in the air and roll the engine stand over and slip 'em together. I'm a one-man band garage and learned to work smart not hard :)
Real men are a dying breed, this is a smart, tough, badass ole sum bitch. "Don't need to be that long but that's as long as it is" best quote I heard all year.
Man I ain't done nothing like that in years, I helped my old man build several smallblock Chevys and by several I mean like 5 of them, and just right here in our basement. Haha and the block sitting on on them furniture moving carts, one of those little roll around things you know, and we did everything to the engines, just sitting on that little cart thing. But yeah we never had no problems with any of the engines we built. First one we built, or rebuilt actually, was a 283, and that's been many many moons ago and the last engine me and him did was a 350, and that one we put just a little bigger than stock cam in it, we put that in a old 71 Chevy truck and it was still in it whenever he sold it, the truck, a few years later. No I take that back, that wasn't a 350, the last one we did that went in that truck was a smallblock 400, that's engine that was in it whenever I bought the truck, we just rebuilt it and made it just a little bigger than stock. And that was one of my brother in law's that he sold the truck too and he drove it for 3 or 4 years with that same engine in it until he sold it.
Plastic tubing over the threads of the piston about 3" long makes a guide over the crank journal. Keeps from scratching the surface.
At 18:23 it would be a good idea to push a little piece of rubber hose on the rod bolts before installing the piston to keep from Galling the crankshaft journals
I agree everyone should do that. Don't take chances like me!
