New Pontiac 455 engine build video
Hey everyone:
I just uploaded the first part of a new engine building series, the first engine being my own Pontiac 455 going the traditional cam and compression route. Part 1 features the initial tear down and inspection of the short block by a local machine shop. You can see this video only in 1080HD on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/60051620 This video is geared towards novices and technical schools, but I hope there's something there for everyone to find helpful. Let me know what you think and what I can do to improve the series. It will continue to be documented on certain weekends after-hours so watch the series unfold in the weeks to come. Inspection after cleaning is next, then machining and final assembly. A dyno session and road and track testing will verify the improvements. So, stay tuned! Thanks, Aguila1. |

Hey guys:
I hope you've been following along these past months as we continue to document the machining and build-up of this project. We're up to part 9 which continues on part 10 next week and finishes balancing the rotating assembly. We've started recording the assembly process and will upload these as soon as possible. I can't wait to shoot the action sequences! Let me know how I'm doing and if there is anything you'd like to ask Wayne before we wrap things up. Thanks and enjoy! |

I found only one error. He used the wrong figure (4.120) for the stroke. It should be 4.210. Other than that, it's a good series to inform the general public what goes into machining a block and associated parts. I keep asking myself...."HOW MANY times have I done THAT?".

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
