Your First Engine Job - Spendin The Cash! Ordering Our Parts Online- What We Chose And Why

Should look into some screen recording software like Open Broadcasting Software (OBS)

Idea for a vid, exhausts, drag, race, crossover pipes ect

First advice: DONT BUY CHINESE CRAP BUY US PARTS NOS!

I only use King bearings or those sold by Jegs under their house brand (they are King bearings!)

The trick with Rock Auto is the shipping. Depending on the items, they can come from different warehouses making the shipping more expensive so changing the brand of parts can lead to coming from the same warehouse.

in 5 to 10 working days can you post something about how to do returns. thanks

Where are all your Rock Auto magnets?

But you're not going to meet the old guys at the part store. You'll never see a store more full of friendly people than when you order a muffler bearing for an Impala. They teased and taught.

Good job tony. I remember buying my first cam from summit.

4.0 run hot a 195 tstat is factory + they like to run at 210 all day. Its worth a few MPG to run a hotter tstat.

Aluminum???? Never heard of that. If it's not King or Clevite it's not going in my engines.

What will you do when the piston weight doesn't match the original weight?
It's funny, I had a core plug that rusted through on my mustang about 30 years ago so I replaced just the one. None of the others have leaked since then.

Soo....does anyone know where to find a fuel injected intake manifold for a 318 magnum that's cheaper than the one from hughes engines???? Asking for a friend lol

Too much echo. Maybe a microphone would help. I can hardly make out what you're saying. P.S. I'm old.

I get the vast majority of my parts online. I can't stress enough the importance of a doing a little research especially if you're unfamiliar with the brand. For the guys just getting started a quick web search for the manufacturer and part number should at least let you know if you're risking being stuck roadside in a cloud of smoke and busted parts. You can find out specific details and if people have been burned by bad parts someone is always going to post about it.

i have been trying to ask a question and it deleteing the post. have you tried partsology.

My sons dart was built from your page using your info and mine.

My first car engine build was '79 Toyota 20R Truck. I had credit at the local NAPA and they had a set of std-0.010 over rings?? Thinking that I honed the motor that much. I use ring groove cutter too. You could not drive the piston in the cylinder. A older wiser mechanic explained to me That these rings were for running a std piston in a 0.010 over bore cylinuder.I went got std rings, slid right down cylinder, I spun bearing 100,000 so my crank was turned 0.010/0.030. I love 100 octaine AV fuel, burns the plugs clean, high

Back in the 80's, I bought most of my engine parts from Performance Automotive Warehouse (PAW). The few things I could get cheaper or PAW did not have came from Summit Racing. Summit is still around, PAW disappeared a long time ago.

I thought this video was about buying the right tools for head porting, lightening pistons and rods.

The surface is covered in you cigarette butts Tony!

Rock auto is the best. Great prices and their web site is so easy to use.

Hey UT I have a couple of questions regarding adding boost to an engine I didn’t build that is currently naturally aspirated. It’s a 6.8L V-10 and basically I want to boost it to add economy to it as it seems the engine just operates very inefficiently. Would appreciate your thoughts on this and willing to give email or phone for direct response if you prefer.

Rock Auto is all about the shipping...

Next time a close up of the screen and actually navigating though the menus. Some of those can be a pain in the ass.
"2wd or 4wd"?
When I need lug nuts!!!... etc.

Love you video following along as I'm doing my first build on 6.9 diesel

That's pretty cheap, looking like a great build, can't wait, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

I’ve always had good luck with RockAuto. Reasonable prices and good customer service.

. I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and another 4.0 that was running but had a knock out of a parts vehicle, I would like to go through it, freshen it up or do a stroker, this video series is great! Looking forward to the next episode

Thanks so much for this video series mate! All the way from australia first engine rebuild, how can we donate to you?

Thanks a million times over! I have a 360 that needs a rebuild and I want to do it myself. I'm comfortable with engine repair and maintenance, but I have never done an overhaul. I rebuilt the transmission a couple years ago without a hitch, so now I'm going to carefully dig into the engine. Again, thanks as this video series is just what I need.

This series comes at a perfect time. I’m attempting to replace my pistons in my 01 Cherokee while it’s still in the car. I was looking at rockauto for rod bearings and saw they have std and .001 undersize and was curious if the .001 are better for a used crank that won’t be machined what do you think?

Ordering parts video... The precursor to the unboxing video!

Thanks for all your videos. They’re awesome! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us and you do it well.

Might be good to give a summary, pistons, rings, connecting rod bearings, oil pump, water pump, etc. I missed the episode on cam, but I would have thought the same way, new cam. Yes it is my first engine build and I am well past 18.

Saving for the edlebrock aluminum head for my 99 4.0 Cherokee should be last winter of walking in snow hopefully you use one loving the series will be my first time 😁

Mann this home builder guide is helping me so much build a 5.7 for my charger going all stock with agressive cam no turbo any information is good information I have it all tore down sitting on the stand. I still need lots information tho

China is alive n well at Rockauto.. watch ur step.

I'm 62 and to a pause from my first engine teardown to watch this series. My engine was caked in oil and I haven't found where it is leaking but discovered SAAB never used an oil pan gasket or a timing cover gasket or an oil filter gasket. I'm going to use anerobic gasket gel when I put it back together. So far I've done things as suggested. I've been trying to keep costs down so unless I find broken rings, I'm not going to sped the $75 on a new set. Ditto for any bearings.

As an industrial chain supplier who deals with miles of chain every year, I strongly recommend to ALWAYS use new sprockets when you put on new chain...and vice versa. Old chain will quickly wear brand new sprockets to match the worn-out chain. Old sprockets will stretch new chain to match the old sprocket wear. I battle people all the time who are trying to save fifty cents by skipping half---and it always ends up costing them in the long run. Just don't.

the crankshaft in my 1994 xj came from the factory with two different sizes on the rods, std and .001 under.the mains were .001 under. I had to buy mopar to get the thrust that size paid around $25. per bearing

If I had a crystal ball, I would sit down very gently!

$1.50 for a thermostat! Most now are electronic, crap and very expensive! Whoever makes them for Ford and Mercedes should be ashamed of themselves!

Just asking how much a typical cam swap should cost. All the videos on now are cam plus headers and chrome valve covers intake etc.

WTTW. The pickup tube is a real treat to get into and out of the pump!

I love all his content.

If you have an old water pump in your hand, don't put it back on : )
Replace with all the hoses.

In this one I started watching it to see what you were going to do as far as the cam and lifters. You said yours were fine and you didn't need new ons and basically we were on our own. That is the biggest problem today and you just blew it off. Thanks !!!
