Editing Engine rebuild/assembly

==Preamble== This article will take you through the inspection and assembly of a basic V8 engine from bare block to completed running engine. Clear and concise videos show you the actual hands-on part by part assemble backed up with written and pictorial comments. ==General overview== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjSz36P4DSg&feature=channel ==Disassembly of engine== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh8yo_q15qU&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDxopB7OTY&NR=1 ==Engine block== ==Rotating assembly== ==Engine electrical== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ixfDRbAr2E&feature=related ===Ignition timing=== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYGU7mTwsZc&feature=related ==Resources== ===Crankshaft Coalition articles=== *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Chevrolet_engine_rebuild_guide_books_and_DVDs '''Rebuild guides/books'''] '''Heads:''' *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Vortec_L31_cylinder_head '''Vortec heads'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Milling_cylinder_heads '''Milling decks'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Quench '''Quench'''] '''Valve train:''' *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Valve_train_points_to_check '''Points to check'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Valve_spring_installed_height '''Valve spring installed height'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Valve_train_geometry Geometry '''Valve train geometry'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Adjusting_hydraulic_lifters '''Adjust lifters'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Camshaft_install_tips_and_tricks '''Cam break in'''] '''Other:''' *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Category:Engine '''Engine section'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/How_to_prep_and_start_a_rebuilt_engine '''First start up'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Hot_rodding_the_HEI_distributor '''HEI distributor/Timing info'''] *[http://www.wheelspin.net/calc/calc2.html '''Static compression ratio calculator'''] *[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Carb_vacuum_port_ID#Engine_diagnosis_using_a_vacuum_gauge '''Using a vacuum gauge'''] ==Static CR== [http://www.wheelspin.net/calc/calc2.html SCR] ==Dynamic CR== *[http://www.wallaceracing.com/dynamic-cr.php Wallace Racing DCR calculator] *[http://www.empirenet.com/pkelley2/DynamicCR.html Kelly DCR calculator] *[http://www.kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp2 KB/Silvolite DCR calculator] *[http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/comprAdvHD.htm RSR DCR calculator] {{Note1}} Some dynamic compression rtatio calculators (like KBs) ask for an additional 15 degrees of duration be added to the IVC @ 0.050" lift point figure. This works OK on older, slower ramped cam lobes, but the faster lobe profiles may need to have 25 degrees or more added to be accurate. {{Note1}}If the intake valve closing (IVC) point isn't known, it can be calculated: # Divide the intake duration by 2 # Add the results to the lobe separation angle (LSA) # Subtract any ground-in advance # Subtract 180 This result does not need to have any amount added to the IVC point, like the KB calculator calls for. <br><br> [[Category:Undeveloped articles]] [[Category:Undeveloped Engine articles]] [[Category:Engine]]
