[@builtbybob_garage]

😂I could build you one 😁

[@jonathanparker5375]

Thats one of my dream engines and for this guy this is just his backup. Sheeshhh

[@builtbybob_garage]

Yeah it’s a great engine, but very expensive

[@azza9575]

Platigauge should be know where near an engine like this

[@builtbybob_garage]

Thanks for the advice, and thanks for watching👍, the plastigauge must have done the trick because he’s done over 18 events and the engine made 1100hp and running no problems with good oil pressure

Hi Bob, great video mate, very informative. We are building a very similar lsx454, but with a 3.3l Whipple. In The video you say you’re running a 4.15” stroke, have you modified the stroke from the standard 4.125”? Cheers!

[@builtbybob_garage]

Thanks for watching 👍 glad you enjoyed it, yes the BC rotating assembly was a 4.15” stroke which was the only thing available at the time

[@blaketaunton6689]

@@builtbybob_garage thanks for getting back to me mate and the info👍🏼

What happens if i youse silocone rtv gasket maker insted of the o ring on the thrust plate and on the rear main seal cover ??

[@builtbybob_garage]

The silicone will break off and clog the oil feed holes, I highly wouldn’t recommend using silicone, thanks for watching 👍

[@Sawmods]

Most people dont go with that much stroke on forced induction. Curious to see how long it lasts if they run it.

[@builtbybob_garage]

Well it’s been 9 months and they have been doing event after event and no issues, the engine before that was the same stroke and lasted 3 years, but only running 14psi, thanks for watching 👍

[@shedworxxx]

You make it look easy Bob. What breed of car is this engine a spare for?

[@builtbybob_garage]

That engine is a spare engine for Baggys R35 GTR turbo, it’s his demo car, ah it’s not easy that’s just the editing 😂

[@SuperDave6200]

After all these years, you still picking that nose. 😂
