Every time I think I've acquired the knowledge I need with engines, I always learn more when watching this channel.

Thank you I'm about to use the same ring filer your using on some total seal rings. I was unaware of the "ring fluter" thing so I learned something. Thank you.

I worked for a logger who built all of his own 855 big cam engines. He swore by loose tolerances. Those things could smoke out a square mile on a cold morning, but after they got up to temp, the only smoke was diesel. Lots of power, too.

Not sure when this video was done, but it's still teaching people...well at least me in 3/2022. Great info and detail, I'm only getting interested in building a motor, never did one before, and I'm no Technician...just a diyer learning as I go and now I'm ready for the next step since I have been retired and have more time now.

[RudyG]

Thanks for the tech videos Jay, many know the proscess. Here we all get that extra Jay's experience lol.👌👌👌

[otogolubovic]

Very detailed and informative.
Some info about ring gap in relation to fuel, cyl pressures, EGTs, compression height, antilag use, how mutch gap will give you non torque plated block after break-in and so on..., would be good material for next vid, since there is rarely trustworthy people you can rely on, like you.

Tnx Jay.
