me too.. is that a torque wrench at 5.58 or is he just use the 'I know' method.

I didn't see any cell phones or lap tops open. total concentration.

Assembling engines like that is an art. I'll admit it, I'm in awe.

This guys has done way too many of these builds! Must be nice to have everything pretty much set out on the bench ready to install! Everything fitting perfectly requiring only a couple light mallet blows or a few pats down with the hand!

Very enjoyable! May find a dust mask, eye protection and a soft rubber striker to be useful.

Very nice video, thanks!

For those who have done an engine rebuild, the parts go to together much like that – if they require a lot of force, something is wrong. The engines are like watches – it just fits together just right.

I like that he makes a lot of the parts including the ignition wires – and look at that mechanical fuel injection moving gas down the intakes – wow!

Cheers,

Mike

It's a clicker torque wrench. You can here it click/pop when he reaches the torque setting.

And yea, you have to pay attention when assembling a motor. Most I have going on is music in the background.
