My auto shop teacher was huge on cleanliness. The shop was immaculate and when we did any work at all (even on our own cars) he would take off points from our grades for untidiness and not being organized. I'll never forget that.

Shouts out that mechanic!! I'm learning so much from your videos your explanations are on point.

I was told by machinist to use a really high grit steel wool pads on cam bearings and lobes using a really high viscosity oil like drill oil. It worked really well.

The best rocker assembly trick I know is to grab 2 magnet rails from harbor freight, put a strip of electrical tape down the length of the magnet rails to keep from scratching. Lay the magnet rails down the length of the cam journals in place of the cam if you will...and then lift the rockers upward so that the rollers stick to the magnets. This will hold everything in place without the tedious use of zip ties. I've done dozens of engine reassembly like this and it is the easiest way. Works on the newer Honda engines as well. Obviously you're done with this engine assembly, but maybe this could help you assemble one in the future for a customer or if you ever have to tear down and reassemble yours again one day. Also yes, the Hondabond/silicone sealant on the cam sensor base side is also necessary as someone else stated and I believe you already corrected. Otherwise oil will seep out if that crevice under the cam sensors, you may notice that's also where the corners of the valve cover that require sealant as well.

I love the gotcha moment with the old k20 rusted cams!

Only thing im missing in DC 3.2s.. Great video brotha 💯😍 built k20a2 head with built k24 bottem & third cams you can make over 300whp ALL MOTOR No Problem with proper tuner.. Thats my Goal 💯✊🙏✌

Damn dude, the harry potter music in the background is awesome

The cat! 😂😂😂. Great job Jonathan! It's looking great! I'd love to rebuild an engine. That's my dream lol maybe one day

It really sucks but i just squeeze the whole assembly while installing on top, at the same time. My son usually helps me keep the rockers straight.

Ooouuhh you in trouble now you put the cams upside down and let the assembly lube drip on the ceiling. Enjoyed the video it's the same Frankenstein build I'm doing

Lol nice detail vid along with the cat noise when torqued down .. jus subbed and will be doing this similar build in the future. I know I’m behind since this vid is a year old but glad that I found ur vid. Currently on fbo with Kelford 179A drop in cams still need retune with the cams

I have these cams in my K20R engine. I’ll be dyno tuning next week. Will see how they do.

ASMR video of cleaning parts would get the votes for sure

You must really like this song.

I want these cams sooooo bad.. drag cartel 3.2 cams is gonna be the cebter of my build 💪

That Rusty cam had me spitting up pus! You called me right out!

Are these recommended on stock pistons?

You must have got a lot of extra coffee filters 😂

Using the impact is gonna more so damage your vtc gear. When you loosen and tighten the vtc gear it has to be unlocked and then locked when putting the chain on

ive done that before with the lost motion springs... chain back on and everything haha

Nice! What did you clean the outside of the block and head with? Is the bottom end factory?

The old rusty cam install trick eh :)

Damn... actually starting to even look like a race engine!

Coming right along. Looks like you have a cat tail for the rearview too. :-)

Hey man maybe you can help me lol. I was gonna get the drag cartel 2.2 cams but then I saw these (the 3.2). My understanding is that they will make more power but with a choppier idle. I have the stock bottom end so would these cams still make more power than the 2.2? Also can you use the stock k20a2 50deg vtc (I have a k20a2 like you). And if so do i have to limit it in kpro? Thanks in advance.

Glad to see the progress. That's coming together faster than I thought. Do you already have the shell this engine is going into?

Your suppose to have the VTC unlocked then torque to spec, then lock VTC

That music man. I love your style man. Lol.

awesome! Will be doing something similar real soon!

LMAO!!! Bro, JK, you had me twisted!!!! Hahaha awesome job 😎

No Hondabond on the edge of the rocker assembly near the cam sensors side?

So you dont have to degree drag cartel cams for K series due to the vtc gear correct? (B series guy here) Just install them bang on straight? Thanks asking for a friend ;)

What is the valve lash for them 3.2 cams

It’s not the impact on the cam it’s the impact can damage the vvt gear especially if it isn’t unlocked when your trying to loosen it

Is it possible to accidentally assemble the cam gears on the shaft 90 degrees out of sync with the 4 bolts? How'd you tighten those bolts? How'd you hold the shaft? :/

A+

Are these cams good for turbo cars?

will a cam swap will help at the drag strip? top end/// Thanks man.

Do we have to preload the timing chain tensioner 2-3 clicks for these cams?

What head is that PRB-1? K20A2

Can you use those DC 3.2 Cams in a K20 head, or are they specific? I haven't looked at them yet.

Using the impact on the cam is bad because you could break the locking pin in the vvt actuator

Friend, I need 1 DRAG cartel 3.0 control unit you send to brazil

So both cam need to align identical?

11:17 bro just always assume you can mix them up the second engine i built i put the crankshaft in backwards xD i had already installed the head and everything and ofc i had to redo everything

Why didn't you use the K24 head?

Which solvent you used to clean the parts? Soltec?

Do i needa check P2v clearance if installing this game onto a stock block?

no bearings for cams??

Wha is that red oil?

Good morning man do you have a video about Kia Sportage 2004 how change timing belt thanks

lost motion ?

👍🤣

You just threw them on, you don't line anything up????

mate, what in the fuck is that cat noise when u use your torque wrench? lol

Good video, just couldn’t stand the music

... that assembly lube looks like blood.
