Great video. Thanks a lot. I'm going to remove my engine from my 1983 Chevy K5 so it's perfect for me all these explanations. Just a simple question : why don't you change the piston rings ?
Based on what I was seeing, everything looked really good. Saved a few bucks. If the rebuild had more than 50k miles I would have replaced the rings and honed the cylinders.
@@threeriverswrench ok, mine is more than 100k miles maybe 150k... So I may replace the rings. Which type: cast, moly, plasma moly? For the honing do you have a video? Thanks.
I learned a lot, thanks. I subscribed so I will learn more. One quick question ... after using Plastigage to check the main bearing clearance, and then reinstalling the crank, and torquing to specs, would you not scrape off the used, stuck-on Plastigage (maybe with just a fingernail, to prevent the residue lodging in an oil passage somewhere?
Excellent video Brian. Keep up your great work on Bear.
Love the intro music, nice selection!!!! Great video Brian!!
Thank you!!🙏🏻

Absolutely Dave! I should have said that in the video. Definitely remove all the plastigauge after your done and reassemble. 👍🏻
Thanks for the confirmation, Be well
