Welcome back to BodeVision! In today's episode, join me in the second installment of our series as we dive deep into the restoration of my 1965 GMC 25 work truck. The focus? The powerhouse itself - a Chevy Small Block 350!
The journey kicks off with a thorough cleaning session using a pressure washer and degreaser, not just for the engine but for the entire truck inside and out.
Once squeaky clean, it's time to roll up the sleeves and embark on the motor rebuild adventure. Watch as I carefully disassemble the heads, replacing all the valve seals. Don't miss out on the ingenious custom tool I use for the job, providing an in-depth look at the valve removal, re-lapping, and reinstallation process.
Moving on to general maintenance, we tackle crucial components like the timing chain, water pump, and a complete overhaul of the oil system - oil pan, pickup tube, and oil pump. Uncovering the motor's past surprises, we find oversized pistons and upgraded valve springs, revealing a history of previous modifications.
We finish off the video as I meticulously assemble the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate. Witness the custom bell housing, and learn the intricacies of setting up a hydraulic throw-out bearing. The culmination of hard work and dedication to building a work truck that makes absolute sense.
