These videos are solid gold. I'm getting ready to build my first performance engine and I'm doing copious amounts of research before I turn a single wrench. Thanks for the time put into these videos.

[PetesGarage]

Excellent! I hope these are appreciated because it adds hours to building an engine....I can put in a crank in 30 minutes....but this video added 3 hours. But I am happy helping..

[PetesGarage]

My friend...that is an incredibly generous and humbling comment...I thank you. I am sharing what I know because when I started working on cars, there was no Youtube. I had to learn the hard way. I want to help in any way I can, and for just a guy working in his shop, this is the best way I can.

I have been looking for videos for my two boys because frankly I am a horrible teacher. Your videos are absolutely perfect. You don't rush the explanation of details, and you explain things in a way that a teenager can understand what you are saying. Excellent work!

[brabak]

i used to do all this when i was younger working in a garage ... but after buying new vehicles for years on end i kinda forgot all i learned back in the day but your videos sure brought it all back for me as i am now restoring a 79 f150 super cab and motor i will rebuild myself. thanks for all the detail in your vids! awesome channel!!

Pete when I get ready to rebuild and engine I know who to watch.. GOD has given you a give of instruction and teaching and you do it very well..keep up the good work

[tyronesteenhoven]

I’ve built hundreds of race car engines nothing about it was clean. I’ve never had a problem as long as you actually know what your doing👌

[stratixmedia]

Your Videos are excellent. I hate when people make educational videos like this with low quality cameras, horrible scripting, and bad angles, but you sir, have hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

Now I'm paranoid lol, I'm just going to wear a hazmat suit just to be sure.

[PetesGarage]

After I finish making this series I will make a short version of the whole build....great idea!

this man speaks the engine building gospel. Foreign Materials is the word for the day. I had destroyed my crank and cam simply because I didn't remember to clean out the crank oil ports, then later, I put the block in the truck, covered it with plastic, outside, not in a garage, and I suspect the landscapers blew off the driveway, and more dirt came in through the timing chain cover I had off. Port one was clogged, completely, with the metal it took off the bearings and the journal on cylinder one, starved out the front journal of the cam, and ground them down in the initial twenty minute start up. It only takes a few minutes to kill it. Be OCD, follow the rules, keep everything immaculate. Thanks for the advice and going a few steps further than the MIT rules, and twenty rules further than the state tech schools.

I have watch this video over and over because it's so informative it the holy grail when it comes to cleaning and installation of parts

[jonathanbosco]

Thank you for the excellent video, needed introduction dealing with Foreign Material in engines, most novices including myself would not think a little paper fiber would effect a crankshaft. God Bless

Crankshaft end float (thrust bearing clearance) is better measured using a dial gauge rather than feelers - if the centre cap is offset by a couple of thou then all your end float has gone! I always tap the crank back & forward afteer setting the centre main to ensure the cap is sitting corectly and the crank has its correct end float.

Plastigauge should be used on the crank journals BEFORE lubrication otherwise the lube will take up some of the clearance.

If any of you aren't subscribed to Pete, you need to be. Pete's garage has some of the best videos out there on YT. He's a stand up guy and knows what he's talking about. SUBSCRIBE! Thanks for the videos pete. Keep them coming.

God Bless Petes Garage! I checked my rod & main bearings, 40% had defect with half of those super defects. I would have never thought that could happen. I got different set of bearings from Mahle/ Clevite, double the price of the Kings Bearings but they're much better made and I wasted the money I spent on them. You get what you pay for.Thanks Pete.

[DENicholsAutoBravado]

Wow, just after you talked about FM or foreigh material and getting 10x loop glasses, you were zoomed in on the bearing and I watched FM land on it! lol Accidental point driven home :) 7:00

[cozydram]

Awesome Totally enjoying these tutorials cheers

Soon after high school, dad helped me restore a 1959 Mercedes 220S, OHC 6 cylinder. Currently I'm rebuilding a Toyota 22R and decided I better brush up, since it's been around 45 years since I've done an engine from scratch. Did I ever come to the right place!! I can not imagine a better instructional video on rebuilding engines...and I've only watched this one!! Incredibly thorough! I can't wait to see the rest of them, particularly your take on fitting piston pins. Thank you! Off I go...

[bumpyguy]

bro all i can say is thank you. you talk a lot and that's what i needed. thanks again
