im rebuilding a single cylinder motorbike with a couple of non-standard parts, this video included some points I hadnt considered. Cheers!

I ran out and grabbed a case of bottled water for the comments section

This is only one of the many piston to valve checks you should be doing. Great video Alex. Cheerz!

Hey Alex, I love your and your dad's recent videos of your Chevy at the track. I haven't raced for years but I loved your launches.

My favorite KZfaqr, 💙Alex Taylor 🧡

I’m laughing that I got this video recommended the day after I watched a Vice Grip Garage video where he had a valve hit a piston. 😂

Ive dealt with AFR on a set of heads ! hands down the best costumer service ive ever had the pleasure to work with .

Great job Alex, very professional. You are a great speaker, very polished and believable.

Excellent work Alex.

Essentially what I did with my brand new AFR Renegade SBF heads.good job.very important

nice work Alex thanks for this very informative video

Really good video, Alex! I'm just about to build a stroker engine for my BMW E30 and will be doing this check soon.

Well done Alex, AFR certainly chose the perfect rep. Anyone who's seen your channel knows you have the creds. P.S. Wave your hands around as much as you like, Mike Eagle is just jealous.

Yeah Wow....I'm doing an Home Port/Polish with 241 Cylinder heads, as the LS1 has the old school 853 Heads....Will send off to get the faces machined and got a good Cam etc going in ....Was thinking of AFR last night....Sooo many good Machining shops out there...Want to go as quick as possible in Street trim before stroking the bottom end...Can't wait to see more of your vids...many thanks...Kym. 🙂

Dang, cutie! Where ya been my whole life! Gorgeous and can build an engine! Rare gem! Lol. Great method. Used it myself on my stroker SBF. And I love my Renegade 185s! Makes her SING!

Nice job

Excellent

That head game is 👌

Cool:) presentation

well we forgot about squish. had a engine thats in my sons car. didnt have enough clearance between head and pistons. to correct it we had to run a .061 thick mls gasket to achieve .038. then on to the valve clearance. fly cut on the pistons to achieve .080 on the intake and .110 on the exhaust.

Love it

Well… I’m in love now…😮

Do you do more videos this one was awesome 😘

I did this on my sbf build but without the head gasket

Do you have a video on setting up the timing ?

my new favourite channel

She has two first names. Legend

I'm a Mustang guy at heart but how long, since I watched this sweet talk video... :D

Good job. Need to replace hydraulic lifters with solids for test then replace after clearance verified

How to set up overlap? Do this 8 key way on sprocket?

If you have safe clear. So 8 key way on 4° advance ? Overlap?

I noticed some of my lifters I can't push the plunger in. Should I use those lifters during this method? Would normally the plunger go in and not push the valve as far?

Just curious, why are the test springs needed? Why not leave the standard valve springs in for the test?

Piston to jam socket??

Thank you KZfaq Algorithm

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi, The clearance between the valve and the piston affects engine performance?

Cute for sure

I thought that was Alex on the thumbnail so I clicked

Piston to valve clearance?? Who needs that, Make them kiss

Looks like Yoda at 5:09.

What she said !!!!

I will admit Alex has manlier hands than some men. ✌️

So... on the more is better. Not true on n.a. it will make more then piston to valve gets tighter. On turbo stuff it doesn't matter as much.

Piston to head clear was...a quence area is also important , to much and ping to little and it does not burn.

Had to get my pistons flycut on my Windsor

She is 1 of the best looking lady's I've ever seen!! And she loves cars she's 1 in a billion!!!

Shorts to show off those wheels be easy views

I was telling my wife , I have just found a new wife , until I heard . " I'm a Chevy girl at heart " :) Great video .

Yer pretty!

💯💢💛💚💥💥

It’s a great video but I have to add that Alex looks fantastic in those jeans. What a body. Wish she was working in my garage 😬😬😬

Good video, plus you're easy on the eyes, but the clay method isn't very accurate in addition to not knowing where the closest point was in relation to where the piston is. Piston to valve clearance should be checked during cam degreeing and checking proper push rod length while the degree wheel in still on the crank along with the test springs and dial indicator. There is also a way to use the actual valve springs to see how deflection affects the clearances.

God I love her

You don't even need to check piston to valve clearance on an LS. Just reinstall the zip ties and go.

Of course there a sponsor

Im in love! 😉 whoever is dating her is one lucky guy!

2:26 ......🤢

And no I'm not dead of course your blocked ...

Where did you find this hot rod girl at she's smoking hot

Even if she didnt know wtf she is doing, I'd still be very willing to show her, uh, a tip or two😂😂😂

Oh I see y'all got my princess she is one of the best girls on the world you'll ever have

You would think they would hire a more popular youtuber

Keep in mind SHES ONLY HERE CUZ OF DADDYS MONEY .

What a joke

Great job but too much hand talking. Everyone on KZfaq over does it with the hand talking it so distracting

Question is do you actually know what your doing or is it scripted?? If you do know then I applaud your skill .. if your a hired marketing ploy then no respect ✊ given here :)
