Hi Eric,
I was wondering if you would shoot a video showing how an engine is built up from its component parts including pistons, rods, rings etc… In the videos so far we have seen engine teardowns and rebuilds with used pre-built engines. It would be a good opportunity to bring in the role of machine shops for clearances/head skimming and give the viewers a better understanding of how everything comes together and more importantly how it can go wrong. Im not sure if engine building like this is likely to present in the shop but an old engine might be a good project. Hints and tips would be invaluable!

That would require a lot of resources that I don’t have at present. It would also be more than just one video. At some point in the future I think that would be a great topic to cover but to be honest I recommend engine replacement over rebuild because a rebuild is often more expensive than just replacing one. Not to mention the special tools and machining that’s involved. It will make a good series when it does come to pass but for the above mentioned reasons it may be some time before I’m able to cover that topic.
Thanks for the reply Eric, I completely get where you are coming from. I reckon you would be positively excellent at talking through rebuilds and all how all the parts, machining and fine tuning comes together. An engine swap is much more cost effective for both parties and your videos are great to watch, especially the Tahoe series with the teardown and diagnosis at the end. Looking forward to the next video on adjusting the diff on the Subaru.
