You guys aren't boring You're fun to watch great channel entertaining!

My buddy bought a new 73 Chevelle when we were in high school-it was the only new car in the school-it had the 350, and was pretty fast, but we thought it was ugly! Over the years, I have grown to like them. Cool project!

Nice to see this build coming along sorry about the cam bearings! And Merry Christmas

Good job on it so far that's how I rebuilt all my engines that I did but 1 one I did right in the driveway still in the truck that was fun lol

I used to use the old metal plugs all's I use brass ones now so much better

Happy Snow Day , Penny's Crew . Real good video , Lori found it quite interesting even the cam bearing install . Have a Merry Christmas !

Looks like fun! I have a 454 I will hopefully be doing for a hot rod next month. Good reference material here.

That a good friend is gonna be teaching me how to weld better. The project is body work on my own antique car. That I'm only into domestic Chevy, Ford, and Dodge.

Always afraid to do cam bearings so the guys that would hot tank my block would install cam bearings as part of their service. Glad you showed me that I had been doing the right thing because I did not know what I was doing. I like following the build on big block, Merry Christmas you Guys and stay warm.

Good stuff guys ! I’m sure that other people would jut buy 1 cam bearing ! Lol merry Christmas guys 🎄

Well done guys also keep going on motor rebuild and your doing excellent job too ! Plus Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021 ahead plus hope Santa Clause bring lots happyness also surprises to your families also friends too!

I use a light so I can look right down the oil hole to make sure the bearing is aligned with the hole and the bearings go in back to front because they are slightly smaller as you go back

Someone's posting videos early this morning! Good job guys, I think cam bearings are the hardest thing to do due to alignment and not damaging the bearing surface. The rest should be a snap. Go Penny's!

The short block assembly is a good time to consider the next steps. I know you guys are old school and have a zero $ budget, but would you consider FI over carb if you had the proper equipment? FITech? Holley? You should shop around for a sponsorship, Canadian vloggers are the hottest thing on YT in 2020 and once the word gets out on you guys, lookout. Merry Christmas and HNY to all you guys, especially the young lad with the smoky voice. Keep on encouraging the young. Stay safe!

Bummer on the Cam Bearings Merry Christmas guys !! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

I like using assembly break in lube on the bearings. motor oil is too thin for my liking but the oil you have it good oil for the engine while breaking it in I use that or Lucas zinc additive break in oil

I have had same problem with cam bearings on Chevy to I did same thing to fix it should be a good runner

You should buy a package of plasti gauge for the main and rod bearings, it is cheap insurance.

surprised you did`nt stagger the rear seal so the splits dont meet at the block . just something i always did ..

The rear main seal is in backwards the big lip should face towards the front of the engine

You guys should do the back bearing first then work your way forward

I sure hope some one turned that rear main seal around as it went in backwards in the video. large lip always goes toward the inside of the engine.

Always good to see this sort of thing. Get well soon with the throat [gargle with hot salty water... hot as you can stand it]. Also, Rum, Brown Sugar and Butter toddy before bed will help with the throat AND sleep :-))

That I also need to rebuild an engine in my possession. Well, it is a whole lot of hard work. Although the work can be very rewarding. I'd be okay. But my friends aren't that supportive about my hobby. Just that I'm a decent mechanic.

Remember guys your cam was tight coming out eh!

Rear main shouldn't line up with parting line of the main cap Why not off set the seal a little ??

It looked to me like the upper rear main seal was installed backwards on that 454? I assumed the open part of the lip , with the tension spring should face what you are trying to seal? Otherwise a A1 job. Happy Holidays

⛄⛄⛄

Why does every one call them frost plugs when the truth is they are core plugs from the casting so they can remove the sand after casting the block.

Actually brass plugs are much better and they don't rot out like the steel plugs but they cost more

Heat that timing gear up and drop it on

Why did you not install a block heater? it’s a Manitoba car,or maybe you don’t plan on driving it in the winter.

this has me wondering if the Laguna S-3 models were available / built in Canada too ....

Do you not plastigauge the crank bearings?

Hi guys, so you say you ascended the outside of the cam bearings to make them fit within two thousands. I know it's would suck to have to take that into a shop especially at this time of the year plus the cost of the b o r e. That was suck to. Curious the way you went with sanding the cam bearings rather than mailing down the journals on the cam itself as the bearings are so thin anyway although I guess that may change the weight of the whole thing but I don't think that would matter much anyway that's an interesting conclusion on what you did extremely intelligent I can't believe that somebody has Chevy would have such a bad day. LMAO either somebody pissed that work or off or like you said he was retiring that day who knows for sure you'll never know the truth. Can you imagine somebody that didn't understand everything just slamming that together oh yeah that's probably what they did the last time. Anyway guys you and your families have a very merry Christmas. Stay safe stay well and as always God bless.

Frost plugs installed...and ur doing a "How To" video...🤣🤣🤣
