This is my 281st Episode of Mike Finnegan's Garage and I filmed it while I was traveling to film Roadkill. Once we wrapped filming Roadkill in Gardena, California I drove to Torrance, California to the headquarters of Ace Racing Engines. There, I got to look at and fondle parts that I've collected over the past 12 months for an upcoming project car. This episode is about the very first steps in building the engine, namely measuring the oil clearances of each crankshaft main bearing. It's a sweet video that will help you when it's time to build your first engine. If you have questions, post them in the comments and if you'd like to speak with Stef of Ace Racing Engines, the visit their website here: ace-engines.com
Here are some helpful links the parts I bought for my engine build:
Noonan Edge water-cooled engine block: noonanrace.com/products/ls-edge-water-cooled-engine-block
Manton LS7-style Rocker System:mantonpushrods.com
Winberg Crankshafts: winbergcrankshafts.com/index.php/ls-series
