1. ls swap it lol

2. You really do need to go to school and learn how to take apart a engine

3. An equal amount of blueberries in every muffin…."do you have any idea how long that's going to take?" Haha

4. Watching this and with the weird ware on almost everything, I don't think they had torque referencing/pattern or a torque wrench. I believe they must of just bolted everything down till it was tight enough?

5. You should use a short pipe on your allen for more leverage. Better on your thumb.

6. This was a great video, I wished the engine would have been in good shape though. Thanks for sharing.

7. Are those pistons installed 180°?

8. So I got a real question. When putting it back together do you oil all the parts, keep them squeaky clean, or what?

9. Did you claim you can't use new lifters on a old cam oh shit this is a old post

10. Bastard pulls a turbo out of his pants. Keep that Fram filter Eric, clean her up and spin her back on there….

11. "yes i did it my thumb & yes it did hurt"🤣🤣

12. I love all the knowledge he provides and talks about how it works and why. Your channel has helped me so much.

13. I need some help ..can u leak oil from a hole on the driver side of engine block of a 302 its under the headers toward rear of the 2nd to last header it looks like its missing a bolt…changed all gaskets except block to heads …and still leaking oil from that area

14. Do rebuilds affect the oil grade?

15. Does anyone else think he could be richard rawlins twin brother?

16. Bottom of the pistons aren't damaged they're just casted that way!

17. Old video, but the marks on the bottom of the cylinder was just casting junk.

18. I've got a 86 f150 I just replaced oil pump, oil pan gasket, and cleaned out carbon. had to reach my hand under the engine while it was lifted on a chain 😂 I had a bad oil leak that was spraying onto headers and fuel filter all the way back to the drive shaft. it kept reading low oil pressure and smoking badly though oil was over full. so I'm hoping it was just a bad oil pump but head gasket is peeling back /: I know its going to need an engine but I wanna make this one last lomg enough to pick up another one since I doubt I can fit a 302 or windsor in the back of my fiesta lmao

19. Can you tell me that o ring part number on that distributor mine does not have one and leaks like crazy well running

20. I used to be on the fence about Eric the vehicle guy… But after this video, I guess he’s alright. Nah, U Da Man Eric😜

    Wish you lived in Seattle so you could help me out w/ my ‘29 Model A powered by a ‘71 302 w/ a 351 Cam… I JUST learned that my crank shaft may be broke on a crate engine that only has 14k on it. The truck was completely restored 15 years ago and now I have a shit show on my hands… I’m scared as hell to tear down my block but it’s gotta happen:( It’s going to be my first tare down.. Let me know if you’ve got anyone up in Seattle that could possibly help me out.Thanks again for the legit video Eric👊🏼Appreciate your effort!

21. I love this and dads truck build 😍 Think I've seen them three times 😁 Please do something familiar. Like an old 60's Chevy or Ford pickup would have been Gold 😊 God bless from Sweden. 🎆

22. Haha

23. God I was so hyped at the end lol 😂

24. All the blue is a nice touch. Even if you can't normally see it. Lol

25. Hope your machinist is able to rebore it. Guess it means a trip to the junk yard or whatever means to get a decent block.

26. On what parts is rtv acceptable?

27. I rebuilt a 302 in my 76 F100. Kept it fairly stock except for the Edelbrock RV cam and intake with more flowing free exhaust. Just wanted a reliable daily truck. That little motor was fantastic for years

28. @28:45 that's not damage on the cylinders you idiot, it comes like that from the factory. Is this your first build?

29. I think the oil filter says it all about the past car owner lol

30. We're those intake manifold gaskets installed upside down? Doesn't the print o seal blue part go towards the head?

31. Eric, I'm seeing conflicting information, perhaps it's just preference, but others say to apply gasket goo to the gaskets. You mentioned let the gasket do its job, not to apply any RTV. You really seemed like you know your business, so I'm hoping maybe you can elaborate? Thank you in advance.

32. Not a FRAM!

33. "….acceleration events….." Don't you just love that!?

34. What the hell kind of oil pan is that?

35. Why don't you use power tools on your tear down?

36. Sometimes, when using a long breaker, it is wiser to do it the pulling way rather than the pushing way. You can easily look for a good leverage to make it look like closing a giant scissors. Any slippage can be maneuvered in such a way that injury will never happen.

37. <cough>Fram filter</cough>

38. Not gunna bother with electric tools? I guess I wouldn’t either if I owned garbage cordless tools lol 😜 I don’t mind breaking out the relics and airlines sometimes too . But usually only break them out to show kids what dinosaurs look like. They laugh I laugh and I thank the tool gods we no longer have to use those underpowered useless things any longer and I throw them back in the cupboard. I don’t even know why I keep them haven’t removed a bolt with a air tool in o jeez probably 6-7 years now

39. Hi can a 1 wire dist. be used on a fuleinjection engine
