Thank you for watching, John!

Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks for watching, Alex!

Too much detergent in ATF use break in oil

Thank you! We appreciate your business.

Every time I get new parts to install I always always need more tools 😂 can’t have enough

Thank you for watching, Travis!

If going to their website and looking to find the parts yourself is above you then no tool available can make you smart enough to build an engine.

Torque Wrench: www.summitracing.com/parts/adt-arm303-4a340

Hi Chris, The flat side of the connecting rods must be together. The chamfered side always goes to the outside to clear the radii of the rod journal. The pistons need to be orientated to the rods correctly, so the notch on the piston is forward, and the rod chamber is to the outside.

Thank you for your question. If you are referring to the connecting rod chamfer, they are designed to go against the cheek of each journal that may have a larger radius than the factory. The non-beveled side of each connecting rod would face each other on a journal.

Can you explain why please? Honestly just curious

@@kcwyrick7947 it actually changes the torque value. After working in quality in nuclear fuel systems parts manufacturing, that's how we were taught for assembling parts.

@kevin shiley did anyone actually test that theory? Because from a physics standpoint if you're applying a radial force to the wrench head that hand isn't inducing any force that would directly affect the measured torque. I do this all the time with extensions because otherwise it would cause the socket to come off the bolt or nut. Without extensions I can't imagine the radial force would affect friction enough to alter the torque value any significant amount. That's why he's doing it, so he doesn't knock the extension and deep socket off the fastener, potentially damaging it.

@@Sevalecan it's what we were taught in the commercial nuclear parts inspection. Take it from there. I'm not a physicist, but that's what we were instructed. If you watch, so many are introducing a force in the opposite direction the way they hold it, which is actually rotational around a different axis.

@kevin shiley I understand. And this is not a knock against you personally, but old wives tales have been floating around in more than one industry. I think one of the most famous was Fireball Tool testing whether you should ever backdrag a file. After so many people got on his case about it, many having learned it from the Navy, IIRC. Turns out they were all wrong. You get more use out of out of it if you backdrag. He tested it. Anyway, on the order of several tens of ft-lbs (which these bolts are), you would likely find it difficult to induce a torque more than a few inch pounds on that ratchet head, with your hand radially close to the axis of rotation and the head being smooth making gripping difficult if intended. 50 ft lbs would be 600 inch lbs. Difficult to make more than a 1 or 2% change to that number if you intended to apply torque with that hand. I expect this is likely small compared to other sources of error. Just my opinion of course. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
