- In Part 10 of this video series, I install the cylinder heads on the Mercruiser 5.7L V8. Regular thread sealant works for the head bolts. I also install a new rear main seal into the housing and install the housing.

Should of got some vortec heads to put on it.
I thought about that. Wasn't sure what all would be required to be honest (different intake manifold/ pushrods/etc). It makes adequate power for what it is. My understanding is I'm somewhat near the limits of what an alpha outdrive can handle for power. They say they are only rated for 300 horsepower. I'm guessing this will be somewhere between 200 an 300 hp. Vortec heads add 25 horse or what would you guess? I have no idea really.
That is one well disciplined pooch.
Thats my brothers dog, Bruce. Lots of training time! He loves a good cheese curd.
I am going to document my Mercruiser 305 to LS6 or LQ6 Swap like you have done here. Nice to see you chased the threads with a tap. It’s amazing how much rust and crap can accumulate in blind holes.
For sure! I'm going to have to check out the vids. I'm going to subscribe now haha.
@@605BOLT I am hoping to start my junkyard search in the next couple of weeks depending on my work travel schedule. It’ll be fun.
Was about to go to bed but then this vid dropped. Been waiting. Thanks for the upload!
Been trying to get it out since about 3pm today. Processing....
Awesome dog btw. and that’s funny I asked you about upper shift shaft not to long ago. I’ve also got a rear main oil seal
Haha thanks it's my brother's lab Bruce. He's a great pup. Rear main is leaking? That's a bummer.
Happy to see this progress. Hopefully it’s up and running soon!
I hope so too!
should never touch gasket with fingers. cloves only.
It's a 200 horse 350 😬. Next time I build a formula one engine I'll do it your way though.
I believe that sleeve you were talking about is a repair sleeve for a badly scored crankshaft.
All the repair sleeves I've ever seen are steel rather than plastic. My understanding is that plastic part is to allow the seal to slide onto the crank more easily. Plastic would wear out very quickly if it was used as a repair sleeve I would think. But I guess I can't say for sure.
Also never Re use head or intake bolts....
Same response lol. These aren't TTY. Just bolts.
The head bolt necessary to clean up for proper torque
Are you asking me or telling me? Haha. I cleaned them prior to applying thread sealant and installing the bolts.
@@605BOLT you said you only do it because it make you feel better
@@eagle5720 well it made me feel better.
@@605BOLT it's a must to do cause you will never get the right torque without cleaning them. I know this cause I rebuild my own boat engine and other engines before.
So how is the engine going now?
The gasket can only go one way
The head gasket? Right.
@@605BOLT yea cause the gasket shape according to the oil and water passage on the block
