Basic Engine Building DVD – Chapter 17: Pistons
By this section you’ll be ready to remove the pistons, starting with the rod caps. You’ll also get to see the crankshaft, rod bearings and journals for the first time and inspect them for damage as they come out. Great tips on protecting the cylinder bore while removing the pistons and connecting rods. We don’t recommend using a ridge reamer to make this easier. As your block will need to go the a machine shop anyway. They are likely to damage your cylinder walls and are hard to use.
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.
This video is great for people interested in car repair, car care, and restoration. As well as hot rods, muscle cars, performance parts, and boosting horsepower. It can also help you to gain knowledge for increasing fuel economy, how to lower your emissions, and covers preventative maintenance to avoid little things like overheating.

hey i got a 6.5 diesel. and one piston blew and scratched the cylinder pretty good do i have 2 remove every piston 2 get it bored. thanks
is it possible to …
is it possible to rplace ah spun bearing without having to pull the piston
thank you i will …
thank you i will try that
since your engine …
since your engine is a line four and you were able to remove the crank already, how about supporting the block on the ground and trying to beat the pisons down into the block and pull them from the oil pan side of the block instead of from the cylinder head side…?
You will completely destroy the pistons and the block will need to be bored for sure, but you may get them out by trying to beat them out backwards since you’ve got the crank out of the way…
im working on a …
im working on a datsun 280z and the engine has been siting open on a stand for 10 years and i got to the point to remove the pistons but they are seized and i cant move the crank shaft so i removed it and was only able to get 2 pistons out we put penetrating oil in to let them move and i cant get them out can you please help me this is also a school project and the teacher has no more ideas i did use your on the video
fantastic video …
fantastic video chaps i can fix my car now all the best
Yes the DVD shows …
Yes the DVD shows the entire plastigauge process for the crank main journals and rod journals as well as ring gap filing and positions during piston install.
The machine shop section shows the machinists using the dial bore gauge and other instruments. We don’t cover the use of a dial indicator specifically in the ‘Basic Engine Building’ DVD as it is part of an “advanced” engine builders tool set.
The ‘BEB’ DVD will absolutely guide anyone through a complete rebuild using a base tool kit…
Does the DVD(s) …
Does the DVD(s) show how to properly use a plastigage, other tools such as dial guages and show how piston rings are positioned and gapped?
well i bought a …
well i bought a Holley carb and it came with a BoxWrench video….. its so easy to
understand and learn…
im gonna buy the basic engine rebuilt, the TH-350 AT and the rear axel videos….
with boxwrench its easy to learn…
yes!! electrical …
yes!! electrical engines give 100% all the time……instead mechanical raice to 100% depending on the RPM
but still, for now mechanical are better…
electric car …
electric car require hours of charging and a ton of batteries. the tesla roadster has 1000 pounds of lithium batteries which is a lot heavier then the small lotus engine it replaced in that frame. so electric cars are expensive, heavy, take a long time to recharge and have poor high end preference. and turbine cars are no better, turbine engines are really expensive, high maintenance and suffer from turbo lag which is when you rev up the engine it takes time to raise compression
one really great …
one really great thing about electric motor is the instant low end torque you get out of them.
So why are you …
So why are you watching this video?
hey u know …
hey u know mechanical engines are very cheap if u compare to electrical engines, i mean car engines……
and also to produce the same reliability mechanical engines have will take many years to improve in other types of engines…..
We don’t offer our …
We don’t offer our DVDs on eBay or auction sites because we make combos of various useful DVDs at our site. That way, people can get a customized set of DVDs that match their engine and transmission.
The ‘Basic Engine Building’ and ‘Holley Tuning’ DVDs are already a great price for the amount of content on the discs. The full DVDs are 3 1/2 hours and 2 1/2 hours respectably of incredibly high quality visuals and instructions. They are awesome videos that we’re very proud of…

There is no such …
There is no such thing as a “quick” way to do this without risking damage to the cylinder walls.
You also need to consider that we are showing a lot of potentially inexperienced people how to do something for the first time. Short-cuts are not the best thing to teach in many situations.
The method shown here is the “right” way to do the task…doesn’t matter how long it takes.
Any other technique, or leaving out the protective rod bolt covers just leaves your cylinders at risk of scratches
they really do …
they really do useless things to take the pistons out,,,sure this is the safe way but not the quick one
Check out the video …
Check out the video response from us to this video…
The pistons seen here that have the rust all over the top are out of a 351 Windsor engine that was in a boat. The block was cooled by sea water intake instead of coolant and anti-freeze.
The video response above says the rest… actually some funny stuff to watch.
these are the best …
these are the best engine videos i’ve watched !!! 10XXX a lot ! btw WTF has this engine been through ??? the pistos have almost become a part of the block…
the tube on the …
the tube on the bolts, is more to protect the crank than the cylinder walls, its easy to touch the crank journal with the hardened rod bolts, just a nick, then you have to turn the crank
