I'm an old steam turbine mechanic on a nuke ship where accuracy is critical - you are pretty awesome at attention to detail fitting bearings. I'm a bit jealous as I never had a clean area nor much room to do it - just a deck plate to lay everything out on. LOLOL!! Great, great video.

Very good job! I know you like outfront they do good work, just one thing you should know, they only do a mainline hone not bore, which follows the existing line of the mains, until the clean them up for roundness & target size. A mainline bore would be reestablish og the datum of mainline & boring them to target size, typically you would cut .005” of each case halve then remove .010” while boring mainline, then bore rear main seal back to size. Will be a straight/round/true mainline & you can run tighter main bearing clearence .0015” +/-.0001” for 600+whp for sub 500whp can run as tight as .001” & have amazing oil pressure & lower oil temps ect for road racing. I ran a 10mm oil pump on single AVCS seeing 70psi hot oil pressure at 8k rpm & had great oil temps, at willow springs. I live in desert. For daily/drag stuff line hone is fine. Only couple shops do line boring on these, person who did my previous motors doesn’t do public work anymore. I really want to get a 4axis mill & sunnen engine hone, along with a sunnen 1804/1660 hone for rods, ect at home just so I can machine blocks, do fluid heater & also use block heaters to machine everything at operating temp! That’s where it will become race team level machining

I purchased a IAG tuff short block and had a shop I thought was a IAG certified shop do my build. My engine lasted 700 miles and suffered catastrophic failure from normal break in driving. I contacted IAG. They had me ship the engine to them. They completely evaluated the engine and determined it was due to the shop reusing my old heads and not cleaning them properly which had shavings inside. IAG said I should have never used a shop that wasn’t certified to work on their engines. It was heartbreaking. They gave me 50% off on the next short block which was very generous. I spent $12,500 on the first build and the shop didn’t refund me any money. So I spent $14,000 on the 2nd build. It was a huge kick in the stomach but I love my car and I sucked it up and pushed forward. Tanner is very confident, skilled, passionate, persistent, motivated and inspiring. He’s helped many people gain the confidence and know how to do many things that are actually complicated steps but when done strategically they can come out just as good or better than a shop.

Great content as always Tanner. As for rod bolts experience has always made me lean towards bolt stretch rather than bolt torque alone. I have found on numerous occasions that when the bolts don't reach their proper yield point that they can back out at times and that's always a big hazard. Seeing as doing bolt stretch is not so much of a hassle, I see it as a very good precautionary measure.

You make it seem kinda easy 😅 I am in Canada by the way so not much options here. My results for compression test are : 1. 121 2. 120 3. 90 Also low !! ? 4. 10 All dry tested might do a wet test.

Should I be worried upgrading my 03 251 SOHC head gaskets to factory turbo 04-06 MLS? It looks like they are .15mm thinner and will raise my compression ratio about 0.3:1.

Why such tight ring gaps? Im building a shortblock and the manley pistons instructions calls for bore x 0.006 for mid boost so I was shooting for 0.023 but now I think thats too big?

Hey dude! Great stuff. How much do you think you save building the motor yourself. Thinking of building my own.

is it safe to dissasemble rods and block halves after measuring them? does not the reassembly damage the bearings?

I have also heard that you let the seal and dry with the case half bolts hand tight is that true?

Do you need to lube the bolts when you are torquing to measure bearing clearances?
