please keep doing these videos, I learn more watching Jay explain things than anything else and its a lot of fun to watch.
At a minute thirty through the video I've already learned something new. Real Street Performance is easily my favorite car parts company.
Man!!! I get excited when I see these tech videos. If Jay had his own school I'd be there all day haha. Thanks once again Jay and the guys at Real Street, I have learnt so much by watching your tech vids. It helped me better understand what I'm passionate about though I never perused it as a profession.
Thanks uncle Jay. We would like to see a special video for spark plugs selection for 2jz
Thank you Jay for the great information
I can't tell ya how much I appreciate these tech videos. Thanks Jay and real st!
Always the best info from Jay
You are the man as far as all this goes ! Thank you so much !
Thanks jay. Love these videos. I'm just about to put my k24 together.
Absolute best set of videos. Learning a ton, quality is top notch, no filler, all killer :)
Love ur videos Jay. And being a lefty makes more sense to your vast amount of knowledge in ur craft.
Thank you Jay!
This is great!
Best regards from the netherlands.
This is the best information on measuing bearing clearances on the entire internet IMO. Awesome.
I’d love to build an engine one day, but as my first built engine I’m going to have you build it. Great stuff Jay.
Excellent, and thanks so much! I've got a rod knock in an old 394 V8, and these videos give me the confidence to work through the job myself. And thanks for mentioning plasti-gauge. I was thinking I had to go buy expensive micrometers to do this.
Very concise and professional. Your teaching abilities are stellar. Thank You !!!
Great video guys. Never attempted something like this but this has been a very informative session.
Great now I want to build another motor. Thanks guys love these video. You guys are awesome
awesome video. one thing i wish you covered was rode side clearances. keep up the good work you're killing it
WE LOVE YOU JAY ,VERY PRICY INFORMATION MAN.THANK YOU FOR SHARING BUD🙏
Love your videos, keep up the excellent work.
Thank you Jay & Real Street for putting this video into the ether. You guys are doing God's work with engines
Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Great Video, thanks Jay
Excellent video. Thanks for all the knowledge bombs.
Thank you Jay, can’t wait for moar vids 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Lol🤣 watching Jay with these MANY teachings it's always a pleasure to many persons like myself who have a general motor vehicle knowledge .
Like everyone has said, this video is amazeballz. I have access to all these tools and have been wanting to start building my own engines and this is a very big help to give me the confidence to do so. Thank you, and let’s fully build this b-series, huh? Thank you for the information. Hats off.
Thank you for sharing your brain with us. Would be awesome to see you build a k20 from scratch
So good!! Thanks Jay…
I love these videos and thank you for sharing
Super helpful thanks boss.
thanks for taking the time to create these videos man, I'm currently beginning my first engine build, a 5.0 Windsor, I have been wanting to do so for a long time, now just gaining the knowledge, thanks again! From Australia!
Thanks for sharing, very informative
Great job team 👏
Best teacher & Best content on YT !
Many thanks from France !!!
Your clear voice and speaking is a chance for foreign people as me.
Your sharing of top knowledge too !
Great job !
Very informative!
Just bought a project sc300 factory 5spd with lifter tick, thinking of chasing some hp and this video was so informative to me honestly priceless educational
Great content .I'm studying for an ASE test without schooling
This is a good vid explaining it fairly simply Steve Morris also has a good vid on this same thing along with all kinds of other important tech tips laid out simple like jay does here
Thanks you guy much appreciated
I can now assemble high performance engine with trust , we all owe you Jay
Thats an understatement.
Awesome video! I usually build v8s, so this was very informative on the slight differences between the two. I am excited to tap into the honda world!
great video you guys I'm in the process of rebuilding my first motor and it just happens to be a integra equivalent block. thanks ! Subscribed! also a customer
This is my favorite channel
this is a great guide, i learned alot!
Jay wish I could get you to build my block. Your attention to detail is impeccable.
This process he's showing you is extremely normal for any 'serious' engine builder who knows how to correctly measure/assemble a motor. Jay's just showcasing it for you.
As well as “keeping an oil pool” the extra horizontal clearance is needed during crank deflection, that deflection squares the bearing
Great video, any recommendations on where to buy the micrometers and bore gauge?
Thank you Jay and staff for all your efforts. Presentation, facts and information are 2nd to none.
I feel like we owe you $ for this video. There's lot of little bits of info in here that take years to learn the hard way if you're paying real close attention. This video is the best on the internet for proper measurement of bearing clearances.
Great video. Similar saying is you will never lose an engine on the loose side but you may on the tight side. I still can't figure out why some BMWs have bearing issues, I know they r tight but something you said about mains being tight may be part of it as even when big ends r increased they still seem to have issues.
Awesome video.
Excellent
I had an issue with a huge dresser rand compressor. It was driven by a cat 3608. One of the brand new bearing shells was misboxed. We would have caught it if we had measured bearing crush. The clearance was correct, but there was no crush, and that permitted it to spin. This compressor was offshore, and we needed a crane to move parts around. It turned into a chore. Good on you for mentioning crush. Most people overlook it but it is important to know how to measure it on your application. I find it covers my ass to document it on my spec sheet.
OK, this is excellent, professorial. The gentleman explains as if a 5 y/o can understand, and it takes complete command of the subject matter do that. Nicely done.
Great video very well done 👍
This channel is goated
Great job thanks
Man I am so excited for my B18C1 Build! Thank you so much I am humbled by the quality and exception care into the video and instructions given. Amazing Content and You Deserve a Bigger Following.
Nice engine indeed.
Hi I like your show it has helped me understand. I’m into a few motors but lately the old vw air cooled ,I have book manuals off course but wondering on your thoughts for crank and big end clearance, thank your
This is EXACTLY the information I have been looking for. I'm going through this same process but with aluminum rods for my 1g DSM. First engine I've built but doing it right with all the right tools as well. I had no clue about bearing eccentricity. Thanks for the great video!
czcams.com/users/Jafromobile
Jafromobile is an excellent channel for DSM builds, no flashiness, no BS, the guy is 100% transparent on his builds.
Great video 👍🏻
That work table looks like it needs more than one vise.🤙🏽awesome YT vid as always Boss Jay🤙🏽
Thank you Jay for the very informative video! Good stuff! I'm used to using plastic gauge to measure bearing clearance. However i understand this method doesn't precisely measure the clearances close enough. I'll definitely be using this method going forward. In your video you mention setting the Outisde Micrometer to the Main bore housing diameter mid-level. How do i determine or find that number?
Thanks that was great
Thank you Jay for this amazing video, this is exactly what I m looking for!!!
Question though, the bore mic, what’s the brand and pant number boss?
Great content 👌👌
Thank you for your videos Jay.
I always have issues measuring the journals and pistons with micrometer. The readings are never the same for every measurement. Is it that I do not get the center of the journals and center of the pistons. What might be the cause?
Thank you Jay! You must have known I'm about to start building a motor. I might even call you guys for the pistons and rods as I've seen them offered from you site.
Same here my friend! I’ve got a Smokey FA20 WRX that needs some attention and real st has aalllll the internals 👌👌
@@TheBevis593 I hope you get it sorted quickly and with ease🤞👍👍 I am rebuilding my 08 2.3 mazdaspeed
Hi, really great videos Jay. If my engine uses torque to yield bolts which are single use. is it acceptable to use the old bolts for all the checking and then install the new bolts for final assembly. many thanks Andy
Very true about the bearing manufacturer messing up. I had King send me incorrect bearings and still told me I was wrong after sending then pictures of bearings that weren't even keyed for my engine.
Great video! I found it very informative for a future project.
In the meantime, I'm just doing a stock rebuild (Started as a head gasket replacement).
Since there was no actual damage and I'm only replacing components because I'm already taking the engine apart, are all those measurements necessary and can I just put back in the exact same as I'm taking out?
Good video. Although I'm building a 460 385 series. Don't know if those bearings are available??
For install rod bolts, do you prefer using torque wrench or stretch gauge more? Thx
Very informative Jake are the best i personally was doing thinks wrongfully now i know 😂❤🙏🇵🇷💪
Thanks so much, great video. I am working on a BMW m20 6 cyl. The rod bolts are spec'd to be turned only once. Apparently they stretch when torqued to spec and once stretched they can't be unstretched, so when you tighten rod bolts to check clearance what should you do with this problem. I don't want to buy 2 sets of bolts. Thanks again.
Great vid. Is there a rule of thumb when using 2 different bearings either on the mains or rods which side the thicker bearing goes? For example, u use the thinner main bearing on the block side vs the main cap side? What about the rod bearings… thinner rod bearing goes on the rod cap side vs the rod side?
Hey what brand of mic’s do you use or could you get us a part number also on your 3/8th t handle cause I wanna be like you when I grow up so I might as well start saving up for my tools since now
Jay, you don't put a drop of oil on the main túnel before you install the bearings? Good video 👏🏽👍🏼
How do you know when your mic is center on the crank journals or in other words the largest measurment of the journal. Also, do you need to rock it at all to make sure your mic is straight before locking down on a measurment?
Nice video super good information but you didn't stretch the bolts or you just torque them to 45 ft ?? Thanks if you respond
Liked and subbed, great video!
I seen you changed gauges when you went from measuring the crankshaft to the rod… do you need the sunnen bore gauge or any inside dial bore gauge will work if so do you recommend any brands
Do you have any recomendations for micrometers for hobbyist starting out on building their first engine?
What's if it's a torque to yield bolt. Do I need to change the bolt everytime I do a measurement? BMW S63 engine for reference.
This video answered a huge question I had; which is the difference between H and HX bearings!
Now, can I use a split set of oversized bearings and HX bearings? or does a split set only work for STD bearings?
What clearance would you recommend for a turbo ls? Aiming to hit 1k+ hp is 0.003 on mains and rods too much ? It’s a iron block has extra clearance shells on top and bottom of crank and rods. Running summit ls pro crank and rods
What’s your thoughts on micrometers as prices vary greatly and analog or digital thanks
If i got 0.006 on old road bearing clearance what do you suggest reputting new one standar?
Talking about bearing clearances if you make your clearances smaller or bigger is it necessary to change the tipe of oil you are using also or wouldn't the oil have any affect on the bearing clearance
plastigauge - for example... is indicating the entire difference in diameters, correct? so the clearance / 2 is the actual difference in radius. Thoughts? THANKS
Hells Yeah Jay!....
LET'S GO...🏁
13:00.. what oil and oil weight do you recommend running this tolerance?
I use the King Racing bearings... Unfortunately they don't make a coated main bearing for my platform ( Ecotec)...I use aluminum bearings but then again I'm only making 500rwhp power.. they do make coated rod bearings for my car that I use
But I have never had a problem with the aluminum bearings they're actually probably the better choice for a frequently street driven engine
what type of gauges should you use .0001 or .0005 increment dial bore?
What is the max vtc for the Skunk2 ultra 1 cams for a stock k20z4?
When I worked for Honda I've replaced many bearings for various warranty issues. Honda had a system to put the correct main and rod bearings in. The block and crank are stamped with a code like AABB or ABAB, so if main journal #1 was A and Crank journal #1 was B you would check these on a chart and it would give you a bearing color to use. If I remember correctly you could have up to four different sizes for each combination. Using aftermarket bearings it seems not as dialed in, as a engine builder what is your thoughts on this?
What kind of outside micrometer are you using?
I'm building my ka24e single cam ... truck engine do you have any tips on this particular🤔 engine I'm going for 400+ish horse power . Any tips from you on this will help. Thank you Miyagi 😊
When jay talk i listen
I have always been amazed how accurately manufactured our bike engines are IE (ZX14R) has three bearing sizes to choose from and the
difference from the thinnest to thickest main bearing insert is only .0003" (Journals spec. is 1.5742" to 1.5748").
The thinnest to thickest available rod bearing spread is .00039 (with 1.4954 to 1.4961 Journal).
I wouldn't ever do it do it but I've heard of some people that just order a complete set of the thinnest bearings and throw they're engines together
(engine ass-emblers vs engine builder)...
