You can leave the back cap loose and push the crank forward to make sure the bearings are as even as possible. Then torque it. It does actually make a difference.

Heya Jay. It's always good to see more Canadian content. Question for you... If the thrust wasn't up to spec, say .002, what can you do about it?

@jaysgarage3616 3 ай бұрын

I have had a few , I sand them with fine paper. Seems to be the general consensus but everyone has their own way. Make sure you are working the backside of the bearing and keep the shells together while sanding on a flat surface. Thanks for the comments and good luck!!

@randy1ization Жыл бұрын

on bolt holes that are closed u must be caerful with oil because it can hydro lock them, you will think its all the way down, but due to hydraulic effect they cannot go all the way down,, also u only need to torque the bolts to 40 psi, to get full closed clearance to do the plastic gauge checks

@jaysgarage3616 Жыл бұрын

Yes , on blind holes you are correct! I torque to the final spec when checking , in certain scenarios you can see a difference. Thanks for the comments!!

@Q8Notch Жыл бұрын

Just for my future information and reference .. did you rebalance the rotating assembly after getting the new pistons?

@nathangen 2 ай бұрын

I couldn’t quite tell from the camera , do you place the plastic gauge on the cam and then when you tighten the bearings on it leaves some kind of thickness mark from the pressure?

@jaysgarage3616 2 ай бұрын

I apologize for the late reply. Clean bearings and clean crank , no oil or lube , set crank in the block (do not turn) set plastigage in the center (you are checking vertical clearance , tighten cap's,(torque to spec) , loosen and pull off caps and measure. Thanks for watching.

sir I would like to know if gm 4.3 liter heads, casting number 14099064 with the eyebrows will work on an engine with the TBI intake set up.. the 4.3 engines are very confusing from so many changes over the years.. I have a 93 block. I have read that the 14099064 heads were an improved flow head, designed to be used with the CPI fuel injection system. I also read that some of these heads were used in the higher output K series and W series engines with the TBI set up.. I dont want to waste a set of head gaskets if these heads will not work with my TBI intake set up.. thanks

@jaysgarage3616 Жыл бұрын

I think pre 1996 is fine and your heads go to 1995? I think your good as 87-95 were TBI years. I don't know much about the 4.3 either. The combustion chambers are the same and does the intake match the head? I hope this helped and I apologize for the late reply. Good Luck!

@randy1ization Жыл бұрын

@@jaysgarage3616 The combustion chambers on the heads have little eyebrows ground out to make space for the injectors on the CPI injection system. the intake lines up good with the heads so hopefully it will work,.,. the v6 gm engines has MANY changes over the years and can be a nightmare if you dont check everything.

Jay. One question. What about 350s that have a stock windage tray? They have long studs. So how do you get the correct torque setting if deep sockets dont fit all the way down to the nut on the long studs?

@jaysgarage3616 5 ай бұрын

Find an extra long 5/8 socket , if it is an extra long spark plug socket you will need to pull the rubber insulator out.

I tighten 1through 4 and make sure # 5 is seated ,hit both the front and back and check your clearance , torque to 20-30 and recheck , if everything is good torque to final spec. I usually add moly lubricant after the final torque , this works for me but do what is good for you. Thanks for watching

I have a 1989 GMC 1500 with a 5.7 tbi that has over 400k on it. Got a couple questions! How can you tell if you have spun a barring? Whats the best way you know of in buying a replacement engine? Me not having any of the special tools i would need and have never been into an engine that far before (not feeling that confident in myself to do a protect this big by myself) is there anywhere you would recommend in buying a 0 mile create engine? I really don't wanna put a junk yard engine replacement if I didn't have to. Not knowing what could be wrong with it or not knowing how long it would last. I like watching your videos though. You seem to show step by step what to do so I will subscribe and be watching more of your videos

Thanks. I have another question? When I drive for awhile and engine gets hot. Go in store or something and get back in to start nothing will happen when I turn key until the engine cools down a little bit. Then it will start like normal. I noticed two wires that come out from temp sensor harness that go to the thermostat housing bolts were brittle and broken off from connector. Could that be the cause of no start when hot or could it be something else? Thanks again!
