  • My big block Chevy is on the stand and needed a little freshening. A new rear main seal and a 1 piece oil pan gasket where in order.
    I blame the rest of this video on Uncle Tony. About a week ago he put a video showing the perfect engine paint job for a dollar. Turns out paint prep and primer were top of the list. So I watched the video a couple times and headed out on my own to make it happen. Honestly one of the best engine paint jobs I have ever done! Thanks ‪@UncleTonysGarage‬ !

    Dude, that was surreal. It was like one of those experiences where you get snuffed and float up to the ceiling and watch yourself...only you're not dead, you're painting an engine.
    The painting is easy, but the smoking takes decades of constant practice.

      Take a stroller parts add punch holes in the block side of it all the way around the seal and then apply your cell kickassanime punch and punch holes in the block side and then put your Silicone in and then push your gasket in and the center punch holes will hold the silicone and make it stop leaking

    @JMassengill Před 2 lety +38

    While you have the engine out and before you put the intake back on, fill it with oil and turn the oil pump with a drill and see if it leaks before you stuff it in the car. Good luck

    When you put the top main seal in be careful when you slide it in don’t shave any of the seal surface from the sharp edge of the block. Sometimes the seal comes with thin clear piece of plastic to use as a “ shoe horn “ to keep this from happening. Also put a thin coat RTV from the butting face of the seal across the bottom of the main cap to where the oil pan would meet. Had very good results doing this with that type of seal. Keep up the good work.

    Patience is of your virtue and letting those seals sit is a damn good idea! Your attitude is awesome! Keep your wife more involved in this and that'll be great she needs to know you care because it's DD's and not just you! I'm just saying! Take care both of you!

    Redid my car trailer last fall. It’s on my channel. I ran it through the car wash and got all the loose rust off of it. Then I flapped wheeled all stuff that didn’t come off.Rolled down rust oleum primer let it bake two days in the Texas Sun. Then I topcoded it with rust oleum high-gloss and all the surfaces but the frame I used flat black on the frame. The Texas sun baked that stuff on!

    Block zen. It’s real. From the time you crack the engine open to the moment it’s sitting on the stand . I have built more engines for myself and sold them just because someone wanted them more than I did but yeah, good homage to Tony . But the hair flip, lol. It was like watching the Black Widow . Hahahaa

    I channeled UTG and I took his advice on carb sizing and timing. Worked out great for me so I think the paint will work as well. I wish I knew these paints would be fine for engines years ago instead of buying into the "Engine Enamel" must do BS.

    Two dabs of sealer where the rear main seal halves touch. Four dabs , one at each of the intersections of the oil pan gasket and the timing cover and rear cap. Never a leak.

  • @charleykeenan6171

  • @joeidaho5938
    @joeidaho5938 Před 2 lety +1

    Wow...didn't realize how large that motor was...until it's on a stand. I've seen the Chevy orange so many times, that it's nice to see a different colour. I painted my current Ford engine black with red on the timing cover, water pump and oil pan, red aluminum valve covers... and bare aluminum heads. Looks really nice. I like to create some contrast to get a nice looking engine. Painting isn't very hard at all, especially when planned beforehand.

    It's amazing how weak spray on engine enamel has gotten. Back in the 80's we used VHT products, and you had to do it right the first time because that shit wasn't coming off. We switched to Rust-Oleum years ago and it's awesome, especially the implement paint.

    @thecommodoredecker Před 2 lety

    Dan, sometimes if you dont use threadlock on the flywheel bolts, depending on if the holes go all the way through the crank, but ive seen on newer, smaller engimes, oil will leak by the threads of the flywheel bolts and make a mess. I found this out on a Toyota i was changing a transmission on and it kept washing the clutch with oil, even though i replaced all of the seals related, multiple times lol, oil got past the threads and slung around everywhere and oiled down the clutch.. just a thought good luck with er, LOVE THE TRI 5 STUFF BUT I LOVE THE NOVA MORE!
