    I know you mentioned you weren't sure people would be interested in this, but I for one REALLY appreciate you putting this together. I've always wanted a good beginner's explanation of a full 350 teardown. You've done vids like this before, but I always want to learn more.
  • @KensHobbies409
    As a Mechanic, I can tell You now that You are very good at rebuilding Engines. I have rebuilt Engines for most of My career and can say that not one piece of Your advice is wrong. You even reminded Me of a couple of things I forgot to mention in My last rebuild. I would recommend You for anyone & Thank You for posting such a good video. No kidding, was that timing chain shot! I have had worse though & also with the lifters & cam.
  • Derek, you are an exceptional mechanic. I drive a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a 4.8 liter with 494,000 miles and engine has NEVER been opened up. Proper maintenance is a very important detail for me. Thank you for this video, you sir are the best.

    I've been loving VGG videos for years. I've never "bleep booped" in the comments before, but Professor Derek just went next level. I've been teaching 23 years now and I rarely see someone with that depth of knowledge, the ability to explain things clearly, and a personality that keeps things fun and interesting. Carry on sir!
  • @rickshanks9113
    Yes, want to see a rebuild. Seeing you go through all that helps me and others feel confident in doing projects like this!
  • @Kopa_Malphas
    Dirt cheap engine build would be one hell of a video. This here was one hell of a teardown, and I appreciate the time and effort. I'm a fan of the engine teardowns on how and why an engine may have gone bad, and if it's worth saving or not.
  • @edstenson7764
    Please do a rebuild series! You are showing us how to do things that are not easy, but you explain it and inspire us to try it for ourselves! Thank you for doing these types of videos!
  • @gordonagent7037
    Derek, that was just awesome man, great information for sure, great commentary and visuals as well. It really is awesome that we have people like yourself prepared to post videos like this that help guide us lesser informed people. Thanks very much mate
  • @garysimonson9593
    Yes, budget build. Maybe more than one. The basics are the same but every flavor (Bow Tie, Blue Oval, Pentastar) has its own unique characteristics. Could be a great reference for a lot of guys' projects.
  • I think this would be a very informative and valuable series of videos. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be interested in learning more about budget engine rebuilds and how well they work
  • One for the best videos on engine tear down / rebuilding I’ve seen. Thank you for all the information Derrick! Keep up the great product and videos.
  • @royrowden8956
    Thanks for your video you are spot on,I worked in a junk yard when I was 13 years old after school and the owner taught me how to overhaul engines. You explained the process so well I still learned something new every I watch your video. I am 75 and still a gear head.
  • This is a fantastic episode Derek.. Great for peeps who have not got so deep in an engine before, or for those of us that only take an engine apart once every 5 years... Thanks man, much appreciated.
  • @alwood2270
    I know you say don’t take your advice unless you’re desperate, but let me say that was one of the most interesting and educational videos I’ve seen in quite a long while. Thanks for making it and for being so thorough in describing what you were doing. I’d love to see you build one back from the block up, maybe with your sons’ working on it with you.
  • Great. Best rebuild lesson I've seen. I'm a hatched and saw back yard guy with engine hung from oak tree. I've done some rebuilds and was never sure what and why to replace. Thank you.
  • @nagarev
    Hey Derek! Love your videos! I'm doing research now so I can start going to an academy to kickstart my learning on this matters. I loved all of this from before, but now I can't stop wanting to get "hands on" on this as you do. Love your revival videos, the way you explain, the humor, everything. Thanks man!
  • @jamesgilbert5101
    I would love to see a budget rebuild in the future. You, my friend, have definitely motivated me to try many things that I would have previously been too intimidated to attempt. Thank you for your content and for keeping it as simple to understand as possible. Grease stained fingernails is a badge of honor for this guy!!
  • @MotorScotti
    As much as I'm getting excited abou the revivals, I love these engine builds / tear downs for the abundance of clearly explained hands on knowledge. Thanks Derek!
  • @hwalton211
    Excellent content. I took the heads off a town and country 6 cyl, front and back, and took it to the machine shop, and replaced the gasket and torqued it all back down and reassembled and it ran very well for a long time. I have never seen this engine torn down so I love watching this stuff. Keep up the good work.
  • @the_algorithm
    I really appreciate this video I've rebuilt less than 5 engines and so far apart I always need a refresher just to make sure I'm doing what needs to be done This helps people like me and 1st timers exploring engines Thank You
