store.boxwrench.net Click here for the “Basic Engine Building” DVD Basic Engine Building DVD – Chapter 13: Valve Train The valve train is all of the engine parts, inside the cylinder head, that control the opening and closing of the valves. The camshaft, lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, and valve springs and the valves themselves, all make up the valve train in all motors. In this section we show the proper way to disassemble and organize the entire system. Gives example of rocker shafts on some motors. A great accessory for this is Goodson tools VTO 80 valve train organizer tray, to keep all your parts together in the right order. Also covers the certain tools you need like a Craftsman pick set, and a lifter extractor tool. Great shots of our marine engine and the sludge inside it before it went out to the machine shop!BoxWrench.net is a community and resource designed for automotive enthusiasts. The Basic Engine Building DVD is over three hours of engine building that covers everything from removal and disassembly to final assembly and engine start-up. This is the ultimate DVD for any home mechanic or engine enthusiast that wants to see a complete rebuild from Teardown to Start-Up. This video can be used to learn how to work on almost any type of internal combustion engine including V8, V6, Straight 8, in-line 6 and even 4 cylinder engines.All of the interactive features and menus will not work over YouTube.

@wafrederick i only wear gloves for the first half of the day that way i dont have to spend 5 to 10 minutes washing my hands just so i can eat lunch that way i have more time to enjoy lunch as well
@BoxWrench my instructors told us to just use a small box and punch holes in it with a screwdriver and label each hole to keep them in order but like you said still doesnt help if you want to keep them in order while there in the hot tank
i also find it ridiculous that most valve orgainzer strays run 50 to 65 bucks for a piece off plastic that isnt fool proof on certain parts
@Auszug21 We fully agree with your comment about the flat tray organizer being top heavy and leaving you at risk if it was to be dropped or bumped.
We’ve always thought there should be a much better design to a complete valve train organizer. Perhaps one that would allow you to throw the dirty parts into a truck and the shop could even directly put the parts into a hot tank with no risk of mix-ups.
Perhaps some combination of wire hangers and wire mesh container drawers all connected together
@BoxWrench except theres one major flaw to these valve train organizers and that their inability to keep the tall sitting stuff stable in the instances where your moving the parts or if someone bumpes what ever you have it in or on
AWEsome! You guys rock! This is very helpful.
Shit, i only organized the Pistons and not the valve train. I hope i re-build my 350 right so it’ll last longer. DAMMIT!!
Its a hobby and gives me somthing to do and rebuilding is cheaper
@nonstopgo14 I agree with you but simply being alive is also known to cause cancer….
as you get older youre supposed to get smarter . i have started wearing nitrile gloves for tear downs or anything with burned oil for that matter, which is known to cause cancer. plus your woman let you touch her with those hands. or.. if your a woman then thats just gross.
I am rebuilding a dohc inline 4 and I just started wearing gloves. Mainly because cleanup is pulling them off and throwing out and a box of gloves are cheaper than the bottles of hand moisterizers I had to use to stop my hands from drying out and cracking.
He might wanna make a sandwich after wards. Lol.
It’s called skin cancer or gloves. Pick one. Also wear glasses too. LOLO. Soon they make us wear hard hat and safety vest.
Considering gloves…some people like to keep themselves and their workspace clean, others don’t…pick a side.
Considering massive engine rebuild companies… do you really thing that the guys on the assembly line that screw together dozens of engines each day really care whether or not they made a slight mistake while putting the parts into just another block in the factory…
When we build an engine, we like to know that everything was done right. A couple dollars difference don’t matter
Who wears gloves when tearing apart anything?I don’t.The only way you have been working on something is the grease and dirt on your hands.Most of the time,a reman is cheaper than rebuilding.Look into the price of parts including machine work and even worse: a cracked block or head,the crankshaft might be junk.A reman 1988 to 1995 350 from Jasper is about $1,200.00 with a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty and rebuilding is about $1,500.00 with a 2 year warranty if the machine shop will stand behind
are you that dense? Obviously it is cheaper to rebuild then buy all new….
what is the point of rebuilding an engine? why don’t people just buy a new engine hehe?
what a puss…
yes i know…
Anyone who would talk badly about an organizer tray would obviously have limited experience with disassembling and re-assembling valve train assemblies.
If you ever take apart a valve train and plan to re-install the components, you’ll have an extremely high risk of valve train parts grinding away if not put back to the exact same orientation.
We can guarantee, bad things do happen if you don’t put everything back right.
If you have all new parts though… order doesn’t matter.
yeah if your working at a dealership or a private shop and you bring that gay trey organizer out they are going to talk shit all day long.
or you can use a chilled tootsieroll
right after this clip in the full length DVD you can see the valve train parts going onto a thick wire. One at a time, in order. The rockers, rockers pivots, retainers and springs can all be strung onto a wire that is looped off, one wire per cylinder head.
Then the wires are hung with all the parts in the hot tank and keep their positioning to be kept in order for reassembly if you don’t need to but new parts.
The full DVD shows the entire machine shop process of all parts as well.
How do you keep everything separate when you send it to the vat? The machine shop doesn’t care about the order, and it doesn’t really matter does it?
The organiser tray works…providing you mark up which way round the tray was!
what kind of car do you have one of those cofin cars that I see going down the road, hell if you get in a wreck in those they’ll just bery you and the car!!!!!!
