please make a photo of face of that rings is there marks after grinding/correcting to proper ring gap? or two ends lapped each other (what is proof of bottom out)

what I see the gaps on rings was too small. gapless rings require much more ring gap than normal rings (and that isn't issue because you have 2 overlapping rings instead one)

Hey Steve ,luv your work,,wish i lived closer,, was wondering who's headers are on this engine,,liking the thick flanges,thanks.

when I am up at the carb and I pull this cable I can feel a slight resistance from it and if I lightly pull a 1/4" to 1/2" more I can feel it stop. I assume this is the lever first touching the valve plunger. is this where I would crimp the cable line, then do the adjustment at full open throttle? From the look of the video, I want that lever to just touch the plunger as its normal/forever spot till throttle is applied?

Nice Info

My 109 block has 3 steel caps and the stock rear main cap. It was line bored. Calico main bearings and an aftermarket steel crank were installed and the rotating torque checked in at 6 ftlbs.

Thank you for showing everyone my build. It took some serious power. This is proof that even a mild transmission build without all the billet parts can and will survive for some time if built correctly. Hopefully, it gets all the billet goodies it needs for the next weakest link to be discovered.

Please tell us how you came up with this contraption! Very awesome!

Beautiful Waiting on this 2nd video for the dd efi dash With the front mount intercooler? Whats the resolution to colder water temperatures...

Steve when is that 2 nd video of the dd efi coming Thanks

After seeing your video, i understood my trany problem, mine is stuck, now one question, if it's stuck, do i need too rebuild all those parts inside? Or just add something to set it free and get it back to work like it suppose to? Ill appreciate if you help me, Thank you

How much do you charge

So this tool topped the guide too , right ? that way u can lower the seal a bit on the guide gain some retainer to seal clearance and run a higher lift camshaft

even after pulling the cable connector seperated from the throttle body connector // after fully pulling extending the end all the way i spotted the c6 "downshift valve" with borescope only going 3/4 of the way, i do not have any play to make a full valve connect all the way in ?? i dont know what to do except maybe running it 3/4way in and taking it easy on the driving // any suggestions

Good call.....nice using the Tool Mat.....

Ok context is important. Saw "ick" in the valve cover. Note to viewers: GN means it's a Buick Grand National or GNX 1977-87 Try panning out so people can see the car too.

G body gang

Man these buicks will give you a migraine headache at every level.. mine has been sitting for almost 2 years thats where she likes it the most sitting lol

must be 1/8 min and i wouldnt go more that 3/16

The LC2 and anything to get aftermarket for the engine, I feel is on the way out and the parts manufacturer's who we depend on are starting to "ghost" the application all together for other platforms. Who knows. Lets hope this platform doesn't die all together.

Hey Steve, great video! One day, can you make a video or discuss how to remove sloppiness in the steering gearbox?

Right on Steve. As always, thanks for uploading a video of what you're up too with your own car. I love all the integrated extras on the harness.

Code for my BMW e34 reads "26 SOLENOID VALVE CONVERTER LOCKUP CLUTCH". Symptoms are that when cold, it goes into Trans Program (locked in 3rd gear, limp mode), shift lock doesn't function and the digital gear selection disappears from the dash display but when the engine warms up to operating temperature, all works fine again and shifts beautifully. Leads me to believe it isn't the solenoid. Can you point me in a direction?

Very interesting but I don’t understand why this is important. Please explain. Thank you.

My crank with cam and chain installed was 7 after lime hone

Very well communicated Steve. I’ll b praying for this need.

First it was roller Cams now heads...the joys of owning a Turbo Buick

Man, I legit just lucked into some ported aluminum heads, and I had to buy them right away. They need valve guides apparently but hopefully they work out for me. The availability for everything for these cars is getting ridiculous, cams are hard to get to. We are stuck with only 1 supplier for heads and intakes because of the low demand due the size of our market.

I've heard that from other people too. There must some demand for them to not be able to keep up, also communication is more important than people realize.

Yeah whoosh Motorsport had just posted they had champions irons in stock. Having to wait on parts as a business basically ties up your money and time which doesn’t ever fair to well. Can’t blame you for making the customer handle getting the heads.

Well said Steve. You do great work. At the end of the day you have a business to run and family to provide for and that should be understood by everyone. Keep up the great work and videos.

I hope you get a response from these vendors. Thanks for shaking the tree.

If everything in my 4l65e is stock then why would I need to shim the bolts?

Exactly what I've been searching for 5to6 months! Hundreds wasted on douche bags to adjust it wrong because the last owner didn't have it right either! But please tell me where in the heck did you get that beast looking tv cable/ detent cable ! It's way thicker and had a wide face ! My actuator hinge deal is thin and crappy looking ? I'm referring to the metal peice that contacts the throttle valve plunger at the end of the tv cable in the transmission. Thanks again!

Great content and thank you. Your videos have helped me a lot!

Informative. I was hoping for " how to use adjustable pushrods" but, I think I learned something

What is a smooth stem valve and is there another kind?

Did you do the build?

😂

Thank you.....

Won't putting screws in the right place fix this play? How is there this much play anyway?

Great videos lots of useful information keep the good videos coming.

Changed everything on mines and still no power at all

Awesome!!

Soooo...How much should it be???

Do you have the part number the small 2 port vacuum connector?

He should have shown how to adjust it.

Thanks a lot man. I know my way around a wrench to an extent but have no real tranny experiance and was having a hard time understanding things. I just swapped the tranny in my service truck and its so differant from my old one that im concerned the tv cable may be at fault (its far from perfect). At least i know to err on the tight side. Im gonna buy some gauges now. Kinda embarassing. Lol

Did you find that arm yet looking for a part number
