I'm all about helping with the "why's" and helping people ask intelligent questions. Being informed makes you a better builder.
What happened to the entire 2nd video to this series? It used to be longer than 9 secs.
Helping people ask intelligent questions. That is teaching the teacher level thought process and I really appreciate that.
Finally, explained for a laymen - WITH WORDS rather than screechy guitar music, Thanks!
I use to do the screechy guitar....It's easier to talk...lol
Thanks, I now can find out what chances I have with my old 1971 BMW, as far a engine rebuild parts go.
Oh yes, words are way better than that music. Could finally understand what's going on
@@PetesGarage great video Pete. I have a 2002 ford ranger v6 4.0 sohc that I believe has started rod knocking. Do you think it's worth rebuilding or just get a junkyard motor. I was going to do all the timing chains and cassettes, but this started so now I'm up in the air? This is just for daily driving? Thanks for any advice!
I should be studying engineering but instead I'm watching Engine Building videos.
Now I feel the urge to make my own engine.
Do it, but get back to the studying first.
Yo I’m in dynamics right now and I should be studying but I’m watching this 😂😂😂😂
I'm a senior engineering student, trust me, you will learn more from these videos than from listening to some professor derive redundant formulas
Me to dude me to
@@nox_chan how can you just drop a hard truth like that and not prep me?
I like how you repeat important points several times through the video. This is definitely gonna go on my bookmarks list.
Thanks Matt!
Thank you for putting this video up for noobs like me...it is much appreciated.
Robert banaga Thanks for watching Robert
Thank you....that is why I started this whole thing....
You are an amazing instructor! I own a 2005 Pontiac GTO and I have a semi good knowledge on cars, but I feel like this videos and the next to come will fill in the gaps! I want to take my engine apart and improve it but.. I dont have the space or budget man! I'm glad I'm learning a lot from these vids! Thank you!!
this is a great tutorial . totally well spoken , totally correct , totally legit . I like tgis guy . he's stright up .
That is very nice, thank you Joshua
Pete I wanted to say thank you. I started watching your videos about a year ago and it has helped me write this comment.
I finally found my 460 and C6 combo at a junkyard for about $300. I disassembled it in a couple of hours in my garage (with your help) and found a very reputable shop in my area that checked for any cracks and planed the surfaces perfectly flat while also boring it out .060 over due to extensive corrosion in one of the cylinders. Looks like we are building a stroker that will put me at approximately 527 ci.
Looking at purchasing rotating assembly next but I really wanted to say thank you and I look forward to watching future videos on repeat.
Awesome, thanks my friend
Oh my gawd, you are tha man!!! You've given me so much motivation to build my first engine! Thanks Pete!
+ITheUnknownManI Amazing! I wish to do the same :)
I use to be a mechanic about 40 years ago. Fascinating to watch this; makes me want to get back into it.
Thanks for the videos.
Cool, thanks
This is THE BEST series I have found on engine building. Very well put together and easy to follow. Some of the cleanest work I've ever seen.
Well thank you so much Dustin...not bad for a guy with just a dog and no production crew....lol
Petes G is college in a week.... Excellent!!!!
Thanks a lot for the upload Pete, never had anyone to show me how to build an engine so its nice to have such a detailed video explaining everything that needs to be done. I feel like I can finally get started on building my first engine now.
Awesome! You can do it!
Hi Pete, I want to thank you for these clear, concise videos that are full of knowledge and expertise. Theyre edited really well and very easy to listen to, I cant put my finger on why but I'm retaining the knowledge easily unlike other videos. I am building my first engine ever as we speak and its a massive learning experience- videos like this make me more confident to walk into the machine shop and know whats going on, and what to look for. Please keep them coming!
I'm happy they helped, you can do it!
Very informative video, I'm glad you took the time explaining this.
Thank you
Nice and professional. Thanks for giving so much of your time!
Mindbuildingsolutions approved!
Excellent video. Grateful you took the time out to go to detail on subject.
I just finished rebuilding my chevy 350 out of my 71 corvette, that was definitely an enjoyable learning process and now runs and looks great. Now I'm rebuilding the 402 big block that's in my 69 chevelle. Great understandable information here which is helping me a ton! Thank you!
That's awesome! Thanks my friend. I try to make videos to help everyone regardless of the engine they are building.
Pete I know these have been up for years but I hope you read this. Using all this series to refresh my '79 454.
Invaluable info, even if you've built engines before. Super clear explanations and no stupid music. Cam and valve train videos were exceptional. Many thanks.
I try to answer every comment. Thank you my friend
Thanks for all the info. This will be my first engine build !!
You can do it Freddie
Thank you excellent video, you sir are a gifted teacher.
+jonathan bosco Thank you my friend!
+Petes Garage are you self taught or did you go to school to do this? This is the 1st video I'm watching that you've done, awesome work.
+Mr McLovin I've been doing this a long time. Worked as a engineer in engine plants and machine shops. 10 years of college didn't hurt either...lol
Petes Garage does it really cost 1200 bucks to machine a aluminum block LS1?
It all depends on the condition and what you want to have done to it
It's hard to believe someone actually sat down to share all of this. Thank you much!
I make videos to help people. It's worth the effort. Thanks for your comment
for someone who is trying there best to learn all about engines, your videos are amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to make them!
That is why I make them, to help....thank you for watching. I'll be building this engine and series right up to the dyno test.
outstanding Thanks Pete
I put aside other work so I can focus on something for myself. I want to get this built and in the car quickly. Thank you.
Pete, you have so much knowledge! thank you for this video. Finally someone who goes into extensive detail and knows what they are talking about.
I'm just trying to help those who want to learn Kyle...thank you very much
First time I have heard someone refer to a painted engine block as gorgeous. Love the video.
Thanks my friend
Great knowledge. Will be working on building a 302 for a 65 mustang in the next. Thanks for the info. Your videos go into detail and you make uneducated people (like myself ) feel comfortable learning about cars. Subscribe
Thanks Julian. I had a '66 and that 302 is a great motor to work on. Let me know if you need any help.
Perfect!!! Try some motocross engines too!!Details live there too!
Awesome videos mate. They will help lots of people, and they are also great for all of us who just have a passion for engines. Love your work!
I dont know much about cars most of my maintenance experience is on aircraft but ive always wanted to work on cars and man am I glad you have these super clear detailed videos. Thank you sir!
Awesome, thanks Thomas
Back in 80's BMW used a second hand block to build an engine for their F1 team, because second hand block has already been tested for any internal defects.
If you really think about it, that's a great idea
***** A " Seasoned " Used Block is better.!!
Pete, your a freaking beast.. Love the video..
+Aricu Nono Thank you my friend
Finally, a video that tells me the basics of what I need done at a machine shop and about how much it will cost. Thank you!
I'm happy I could help
Your videos are more detailed and descriptive than any other engine building videos that I have watched. Thanks!!
Tyler Shanks Thank you my friend. I'm trying my best
Great information
Nice vid but there was something I noticed on the explanation of the align honing. Align honing is more used to fix front to back misalignment and main bearing bore size. As engines are run, the main bearing bores are enlarged and the shape becomes eccentric. Having a block on an engine stand for several years can also cause the front of the block to sort of sag. The main caps are ground just enough to cause typically a .002" bore undersize so that the bores can be align honed back out to minimum spec. Procedure may be different if bore alignment is far off as every thousandth of an inch that is honed off the bottom of the main bore brings the crankshaft that much closer to the deck. However, I believe they sell oversized outer diameter bearings for when the main bore needs to be enlarged but I am a young machinist in the making will still plenty to learn.
ACEGAMER120 Excellent comment. Thank you for sharing with us.
You are a blessing to have on youtube, thank you so much Pete
Thank you my friend
Hey, Pete. I wanted to say thank you. You get into the deep level questions that I'd have for any project. Clearly you must be a great builder not only because of your knowledge, ability to craft, attention to detail, etc... ,but because your clearly care about others and their projects.
I have listened to your videos multiple times while commuting across country for work. You took the time to answer one of my gasket questions and while I have spent countless hours reading and researching you have been at the heart of my car project's finer points for success.
A mechanic left a loose nut on my exhaust, one of the many reasons I've taken up doing my own work and I am confident exhaust gases melted my valve's. I am so not rich and take care of my 20 year old car for a reason as I have spent a great portion of my life walking. I was able to successfully apply your knowledge with my engine's specs and do a pretty substantial almost full rebuild while still in the car. I have friend's who have been trying to get me to do a DYI channel for everyday things so I'll have to put up a link(if you're ok with it) to my low quality production video if I have enough footage. Being in a hurry I really didn't want it to be one of my first but it is meant to be an over view of smaller car engines ultimately pointing people mostly back to you for all the important stuff.
Thanks Again, I was 9 months planning without my car.
That is really awesome Bradley, thank you. I hope I don't put you to sleep. I encourage you to start a channel, and just start uploading videos. My first ones were really bad and you'll always get better. I'm still finding ways to improve.
@@PetesGarage I enjoy your videos, it would be a bad idea to listen while I drive if you put me to sleep, haha.
I appreciate the encouragement on starting a channel. I like trying to help people which is why my friends are pushing me to it. I guess I need to just get some videos out to get better. Thanks Pete!
I think its like building anything mechanical. You have to understand the material at the chemical level. It is a science and a lot of problem solving.
This was super helpful! I'm trying to learn more about the mechanics of an engine and your videos have really helped me understand! Got a '70 Chevelle project car that my dad and I are fixing up so I'm trying to bring some knowledge to the table :) Even though he knows what he's doing, I would like to contribute something.Thanks, Pete!
That's awesome! Great project car. Impress him but don't tell him how you know...lol
xvideos
avinash Chand LOL!
WOW, YOUR LUCKY!!! A CHEVELLE IS A BEAUTY!!!! Could be a neon or a civic ugh...lol...Best of luck!!! Enjoy the rebuild!!! One day, U will look back apon those memories with your father!!! YOUR LUCKY!!! LUCKY 2 HAVE YOUR DAD & HIS ASSISTANCE & KNOWLEDGE!!!! Hope it comes out sweet!!!
Pete's Garage how much would it cost if one were to build the most basic engine from the block to finish just for learning I would love to learn?
Thank you Pete for this. The 16 minutes took several hours for me. Every time you said something I didn't know, or of interest, I placed on pause and googled it. Once I understood then back to your video and press play. I learned much.I'd like to one day focus on building performance engines, building muscle engines, and I hope watching your videos is the first step.
+Covington Halltown You have taken a great step. Thank you for watching. If you need any help or have any questions I'll be glad to help
By FAR the best video series I've ever seen on CZcams! Excellent Work Pete!
Well thank you very much my friend
Your so fucking awesome dude.
I tried to rebuild a lawnmower engine once. Lost the number and couldn’t find new parts.
Thanks for this series Pete, very interesting and helpful. You do a great job of explaining everything!
Thanks for watching Shane
Awesome my friend. Enjoy and thank you for watching!
Hey I'm only 13 but I'm looking to see and I want to build one so thank u for this
Good for you.....you're a smart kid!
same man, i'm 15 and i've really been wanting to rebuild an engine, can't wait i'm going to work on a ford escort engine for my first time
TTJ 111 yeah I’m 6 and a half and I want to build a F15 but I was told to star with cars
6 AND A HALF. are you even in elementry school? also stop thinking about making an F15. that thing is your whole parents life savings and rent and even more.
same im doing one for a go kart
what was that? the hone? yeah the hone. ok yeah the hone. i get it. the hone.
Just got a block im building back from the machine shop n i tell ya u hit all the major points n issues need'd to be adressed n cover'd when getting this done! Great video old sport!
Thank you very much my friend
you are a good teacher! You have an ability to explain things really well in a logical and plain way.
This is really overwhelming.
All I hear is dollar signs when he mentions "machine shop"
Depends on the machine shop. The right place can help you save money.
It's only about 400 - 500 to get it done. Engine building is money.
This is great. I just purchased an old 69 mopar 383 block for $150. These videos are a great resource.
+Paladin19able Aweseome...good luck
Pete I just bought my first truck today. A Beautiful custom 95 Chevy. I love it and want to learn as much about it as possible. I'm 8 Mins. Into your video; and I've already saved the entire playlist.
Thanks Bud.
That is awesome dude! Thanks
this video series is awesome, thank you for the help, exactly what i needed.
Thank you, glad it helps
These videos are very helpful! Thank you for taking time out of your day to make these.
My pleasure!
I really appreciate your videos Pete! I watched #1-4 last night and really enjoyed it as a beginner trying to understand engines. I always got bored with other people's information and switched to learning something else instead. Your videos have so much extreme detail and advanced knowledge but you explain it so well in simple terms that I am excited to watch the rest of the videos. High quality videos.
Thank you very much my friend. I'm happy you like them, they are made to teach
Thank you so much for spending the time to make these videos. They are extremely helpful!
Thank you...rock on!
Seriously, this video is just what I was looking for. Thanks Pete!
Awesome...thank you so much
I'm a 15 year old very entreated in engineering and mechanics. already trying to start on my building so when I'm old enough and out of college I could build motors and engines. this video and the others are very helpful. thank you sir
Good for you Blane. I started when I was 15. Never give up on your dreams
This information was very useful. My first time build (302 small block), bare block about to take it to the machine shop and get everything cleaned up and bored. Learning as I go...so much appreciated video.
I am just about to take on the challenge of rebuilding my 351 windsor engine because I can't find a mechanic that would do it. Your videos are invaluable! Thank you so much Pete!
Awesome! Let me know if you need any help.
Dude, ur videos are exactly what ive been looking for. nobody around the Detroit area (ironically enough?) are really into building cars. now i have all my answers to my questions
Detroit muscle...how ironic. Let me know if you need any help
Thank you soooooo much! Going to be performing my first rebuild on the 350 LT1 that spun a bearing in my 1996 Camaro Z28. I have general gearhead knowledge but no experience when it comes to engines. I am attending UNOH which is one of the best tech schools around for Automotive/High Performance, but I will not be taking my engines class for quite some time. Watching your video was amazing, and I want to thank you for passing on the knowledge and thank you for being such a good teacher. To the point, clear and very knowledgeable. Looking forward to the rest of the series :)
+Dax Hiestand Thanks Dax. I appreciate it. When you get to engine class let us know if you learn something we can all benefit from
We just dropped our freshly built up Chevy 250 in our Camaro. Your entire rebuild series was detrimental to our success! Thanks for taking the time to collaborate these videos.
+Turbo Camaro Thank you very much....I think. Detrimental means my videos ruined your success, but I think you meant critical?
+Petes Garage Wow, I'm normally fairly careful with my wording. Your series is great and definitely critical to our success! I'm glad there was enough their for you to realize I meant well.
I knew you meant well
Very detailed, straight to the point, exactly what i was looking for, thank you sir!
Thanks my friend
Pete I just discovered your channel finally somebody who shows actual engine building step-by-step thank you Pete thank you very much I subscribed
Thanks and welcome Johnny
good work pete, thank you for taking the time to show it. I have an engine to re build But it might be parts value, 40 over and needs boring again. 289 crank and rods, standard stuff. the original 1966 heads.. the block looks rotten from all those years of no inhibitor in the coolant! I want to use what I have and improve what I have, (early 65 mustang, drum on each corner, power noting!) armstrong steering and manual brakes.. low option car from 1964. thanks again for taking time to show it.
so happy i found this channel and this comment, i really want to learn to work on my car's engine but dont really have anyone to show me so this is a nice step thank you
Building my first engine and watched all your vids and has been a huge help. Top vids. Thanks and keep up the good work
Thanks, and good luck with yours
Wow - I think I've discovered my passion. This is gold.
+AR742617000027 Excellent....never give up on your passion...EVER
Great videos, very clear and informative. With no previous education/experience,I am learning quite a bit
Awesome! We are all here to learn...thank for watching
Thanks a lot, Pete.... Your videos give me more motivation to build my own garage.
You can do it!
Thanks mate so very helpful as i am learning to become a mechanic and this gives me a head start again thanks
+Tana Gurnick Awesome...be the best and don't ever give up
Nice video, great demeanor, thanks for posting
Thanks for taking the time to share your great experience 👍.
You bet!
I'm in the engine blueprinting stage of my build right now and gathering all the right information and researching everything and all of your videos have been an incredible asset to my upcoming build. Thank you for passing on the knowledge and know-how. Keep up the awesome work.
+Javi Z. Thank you my friend....keep learning and good luck
Researching the Boss 351, why am I having a hard time finding the right pistons and rods for a good stroker? Also, what are your recommendations for a 351W Stroker as far as measurements for piston/rods?
+Javi Z. You'd be better off boring the block for pistons to fit. The measurements all depend on the crank you choose
Great video, thanks for uploading.
Hey Pete
Along with...... Thanks for the Great Video....
Thanks for your service to our Country my Brother !
+Screww Googlle Thank you so much my friend! I'm proud to be an American Veteran
I will watch 100 percent of your videos, and I am going to make something, and I will show you when I am done. I do not know how long it will take me, but I plan to have something pretty interesting done by the end of the year. Thank you for sharing such valuable information- this is more important than anything I learned in college.
Thanks you so much Alex
thanks! help my knowledge about an engine a lot.. step by step explanation is very comprehensive and a huge amount of important tips and tricks
Thanks Joseph
building a 302 block into a 331 stroker for my mustang, picked up a short block with a spun bearing for 20$ tearing it down and sending the bare block to the machine shop next week, your video was very informative and a good watch!
Michael Hallinan Awesome! Good luck Mike
Thanks for sharing this ton of valuable information for free.
Thanks Benjamin, that's how we all learn.
these are nice tips for all round engine building...dig this
Thanks you so much, I've learned so much from this video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching
So excited to start my sr20 rebuild! Amazing guide! huge help!
***** Excellent...good for you!
Pete, this is an excelent video, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Thank you very much my friend...greetings from Buffalo, NY
These videos are very helpful, i actually plan on pursuing a career in automotive. Thanks for the help.
Awesome! Keep learning and never give up on your goals...ever
Dude Awesome VIDEO! Very informative and clear...Thanks a mill!!!
You're welcome a mill my friend
Very great video! Most people are not building an engine, they are rebuilding an existing engine to there own specs! If you are building an engine you will cast your own block ETC.
Thanks Neapolis, I really don't think most people have the ability to cast parts to build an engine, that would be impressive
watched the whole series great videos with lots of great tips very detailed lots of information thank you for sharing
+OscrSg 2574vlogs Thank you for watching
I bought one of new boss 302 blocks when they came out. Very nice block, no compromises. I highly recommend them!
powerviking Thanks for sharing
Man this guys knows his shit and seems like a nice guy
Thank you Maurice
Thank you you are really very helpful
you are amazing sir!. thank you very much. I got a great knowledge from this video.
Thank you my friend
great camera work and highly descriptive with appropriate level of detail. well done.
Just me and a tripod....lol. It's the best I can do until I hire a production crew
great video Pete, I've never done something like this but I feel that I can do it ,this video help me a lot .keep up the good work .
You can do it for sure
Thanks my friend. I try to make every video instructional in some form. Understanding "why" is just as important as "how."
