305 Engine Build Part 4

okay let's continue with this 305 build [Music] the last time we left off we were short of lifter i ordered a set of lifters from rock auto plus next one so they're in as well we got the exhaust manifold studs for the uh exhaust manifolds they both need studs and we'll uh we'll acquire most of the pieces we need from this the owners are gonna bring some more pieces we're gonna get this all together on top of that i'm just going to disassemble the transmission now i need to run the intake manifold and some pieces through the hot tank i don't need to but i'm going to so i thought i'd just disassemble the transmission that was out of the car as well and we're going to uh that way i can run the case and the parts through the hot tank at the same time or just after took the pan off and it looks pretty bad so we ordered uh we'd ordered a kit for it now we're not going to film this i'm not a transmission expert and i don't do it every day but if you want to watch somebody that's really good at this look at precision transmission i think he's really easy to follow and there's a lot of good uh a lot of good advice in those videos all right we're gonna put a few parts on here we just uh installed the lifter and set the valve so all 16 um valves are set and ready to go so our mod block is completed now we're going to bolt on the intake manifold i pulled out some intake manifold bolts and cleaned them up as well our uh we our water pump has been painted and it's ready to go on we're gonna install the thermostat when we get the intake on we got a couple of grommets for the valve covers this one would be uh 420 55 that's for the breather on the passenger side for the pcv valve this is a standard uh product it's a gv9 vr valve there we just use ac delco for the rest the uh distributor cap and the rotor the distributors come tonight apparently we got the thermostat housing over there we got our pulley here we got a lot of parts here we've uh cleaned up the intake manifold and installed the uh the tray underneath with this just real quick i meant a couple or i bent this one we uh didn't put these back the original location plus you can turn them um 180 degrees and they'll bite back in we also use loctite when we put them in so we cleaned everything up and reinstalled that pan and we're gonna get ready to install the intake manifold for conversation's sake there's the uh transmission down there as well as all the pieces but we'll worry about that later so let's get going let's get the intake on and uh get this buttoned up okay we set the intake manifold on you can see we have a little bit of a ultra black coming out remember this is your gasket so there's no use putting a half an inch bead on top here it won't really matter put enough to hold the gaskets in place maybe a little bit around the water um parts do your center but just keep that in mind that's your thickness remember there's some ribs on top of it too so in the bottom so take that into consideration or even put your intake manifold on and take a look at it without it being torqued down and make sure you get them appropriate amount of silicone or ultra black gas can make or whatever it is you're using and uh or you could just use these if you're just using a cast iron and take manifold if you like it's totally up to you we're gonna get this bolted on remember our center bolts all go through not the end ones to uh the lifter valley the oil so we're going to put a little bit of uh sealer or ultra black on them as well when we install them typically when you're doing that you can i'll just use ultra black and i'll just uh do this with uh each one of them make sure we have a little bit of a on each bolt and then i'll install them into the appropriate uh bolt hole all right remember the inner four bolts are all uh into the lifter valley don't forget your uh hooks if you want to put them back on this one will have a nothing on it there's nothing here it's a blind hole at the end so reach the middle bolts they'll need to have a little bit of a sealant on them you don't have to but i like to just so i don't have oil come back over there up out of there over time i use the bolts with the uh like the shoulder the with the uh step down washer end on any of the brackets and then i use the regular bolts in the middle and on the outsides so i hope that helps we're just going to uh snug these down and then we'll give them a final torque [Music] [Music] [Music] okay so we're back so the last time we were out here we installed the water pump and the intake manifold and then after that i just cleaned and painted everywhere in here just so it doesn't rust it probably will over time but who knows try and keep it clean um today we're just gonna bolt on the valve covers right now we'll put the grommets in as well suppose we should do the thermostat and uh we're gonna start drawing up the exhaust manifolds okay so depending on the valve cover gasket you're using we're going to use cork you might want to get some valve cover spreaders you might want to use the rubber ones it really doesn't matter to me what i use in this situation we've uh we've actually pounded these straight again and this valve cover is surprisingly straight for whatever reason i guess it wasn't uh often on the engine too many times so because of that i'm just gonna use cork now some people use windshield um sealant the yellow stuff on the valve cover then lay the gasket on other people use uh um well everybody uses something different i i use ultra black and some people use the right stuff but when i have a straight valve cover see it doesn't even wobble on there and a cork gasket i'm just not going to use anything now if it does leak i'll probably regret that and wish i would have used something but a lot of the time in this situation i'm not going to use anything it's best that we don't over tighten anything here what will happen over time when we as they keep being over tightened is they'll crack in the very bottom in here and they'll start baking oil but what you'll find with cork is once you tighten it down or snug it down and you go back around it's going to be a little loose again much like i explained with the oil pan gaskets or the intake manifold now don't crank it down to the point where you're denting the valve cover but just give it a little twist every so often just to make sure it's tight and it's not really denting and then the gasket is compressed and it's going to seal just fine anyway let's get this on as we talked about before we have all of our parts cleaned up and ready to go we're just simply going to set this on set the valve cover on line up these holes push the gasket up all the way in and around we look good let's get our fasteners all right sometimes your gas might be off a little bit i just use a little pick i'll move around so it's in the right spot i'll use that driver because it's easy to control well we don't want to strip any bolts while we're doing this okay so what we're tightening we're just gonna do like i say a very little pressure at a time here okay yeah they loosen up again pretty quickly so very little pressure we don't want to dent the valve cover and you can go out over this a couple times after and you'll probably find it a little loose again [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] just starting on the exhaust manifold now got the hole centered got the first holes drilled i'm gonna keep going so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay so we got these drilled out and we ran a tap through them real quick or they're clean threads up all right we have these dorman studs that we can uh we're gonna throw in here so these are uh kind of like the replacement studs like whenever i looked it up this is the replacement part number i was given the number for the studs is um zero three one four seven okay also we have the long ones for the other side anyway if anybody's wondering i just drilled this out i tried to center it and i just went drill bit bigger and bigger and bigger until i started to see threads or not see threads with the indent for them and i just started removing them with my little screwdriver i didn't save any of the pieces i don't think like there's some light down here and stuff and uh i just remove them from the top and just tap them from the top and then i just ran my um tap down there and uh chase them out and that'll be the remnants of them there so i hope that uh helps anybody that's going through the same thing roughly an hour and a half two hours to drill these and uh get to this point do [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay you guys have any mistake there i put i have to take off the back uh spark plug the wire protector the heat shield just gonna put this exhaust manifold in place so basically when you uh put the dipstick in you have the bar across the top of the exhaust manifold you may have a problem like i just did so that was my uh oversight i just wanted to film this that i uh i got it wrong so if anybody was following along they would know snail i could just put the rest of the bolts in i'm just gonna fire that uh heat protector back in there okay let's get these bolts in here we'll get the gasket set in nice thing about these exhaust manifolds is we don't have to spread them to get them together or get the bolts in they have these bars in here the bad thing is you forget to put everything together and the bars are in there it's all good we got it okay at this point we just want to throw some gaskets in so we'll uh toss those in there i trim off the uh the third uh excess for me the third access hole and bezels up don't tighten them all the way just make sure that we have everything seated in the right spot all of our bolts are nice no issues all right go over them real quick that little quarter inch ratchet doesn't have a lot of power but it sure is nice to use just for basic stuff like that right and again one last time we can torque these we can find the torque spec on them i imagine they're 25 or something like that being a three inch bulb okay we'll just close a lot of this up here we're pretty much done to build on this we'll uh we put the temperature sender in there let's give it a little bit of a little bit of sealant we're using the factory sensors that came with this uh with this car the best of my knowledge there was no issues with them at all so i guess we'll find out pretty soon if we have a problem we'll just deal with it okay and then we have the oil pressure sending in it let's go back here this one i'm not going to put any sealant on i'm relatively confident it's fine typically they'll make out at the top if they have an issue okay you want to be careful tighten them down they're just a thin body everybody offers sockets for these i don't even like tightening these still do it by hand [Music] okay okay well hey i guess we're pretty much the end of this uh video for video number four this is uh i guess six videos in this series we have the two disassembly videos and uh the four uh assembly videos i would have liked to finish today i just wanted to do the egr the breather and this but we have a couple parts we need to clean up still i got the wrong egr gasket i thought i had a gasket for this and do not and i don't have any plug wires so when we do the uh distributor i would have liked to done the plug wires so what i'll do is a separate video and i know there's probably a hundred videos out there already about how to put your distributor in and uh clock everything but we'll do one anyway and we'll put the spark plug wires on and we'll get everything in order we'll uh put the rest rest these brackets and pulleys on we'll put the fuel line on we'll put the brake booster line on we'll get everything cleaned up we'll uh we'll do a quick video with the ultrasonic cleaner we'll do this carburetor it's been sitting for 30 years so the ultrasonic cleaner would be the best bet for it and then we got a few more things to clean up here we're cleaning up these bolts that bracket all natural starter distributor we get everything ready to go on even the air cleaners rusty on the inside so we'll get that blasted and repainted and uh we'll get it all ready to go and uh we'll continue on with it the only other thing we're waiting for here is for me to finish this transmission we just need to clean up these parts the case is ready to go so while we're waiting for these parts to be ordered for this we should be able to uh rebuild the carburetor a simple transmission clean up a few parts and mate them together and get the car here and get it installed if anybody has any questions about this build please don't hesitate to ask it's been a lot of fun we went through quite a few challenges doing this and it'll be nice to see you run and go down the road and take it for a drive i hope everybody enjoyed this who watched it and uh i appreciate all the comments and uh and the views and uh we'll be back asap you
