This the information I needed like yesterday thank you so much

Jafro keeps coming out with these banger videos, sad to see so many people sleep on him.

Lapping by hand is just a waste of time. Simply put the valve through the head and grab the end of the stem in the jaws of a decent cordless drill. You then just apply paste and open and close the valve while rotating in both directions in equal measure. Repeat using the fine paste and the job is done. Takes less than half the time of doing it by hand and the finish very often comes out much better. Just remember not to overdo it at first, you'll work out how much time each grind takes.

I watched the cylinder head port and polish to a mirror finish on the intake ports video and I am building a v8 right now.. Question: I’m wondering if you have changed your mind about the fish on the intake ports or does it still stand?

Okay, you did stop the insanity......LOL

Super helpful video

Wow this thing is bizarre. What were the benefits of this design over a standard RWD layout with fixed engine? It seems like this has so many drawbacks that it's hard to imagine why anyone would have actually made it. Wheel gyroscope effect, difficulty of removing the front wheel for tyre repairs or new tyres, huge unsprung weight, no means of disengaging drive etc

Jafro, you kept mentioning your concerns about corrosion - why are you not concerned about the corrosion that is going to occur from the aluminium bush and bare steel frame being in contact with each other? Speaking from experience, these bushings are only going to be in there for a few years in ideal dry conditioned before they start to corrode badly. 7000 and 6000 series aluminiums are the worst for it and in some cases even zinc or copper paste wont even stop the corrosion from these two being in contact with eachother

Wpuld a kit like that work on a 03 dodge ram 1500?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

another relaxing video to watch while eating dinner. love the content Jafro!! Please keep doing what you're doing :) i'd love to have you go thru my evo one day bumper to bumper lol

I don’t even have either of my DSM’s anymore but I’ll still watch a Jafro video in a heart beat lol! 16-37yr old I owned a DSM….. I miss’em some times…. Ultimately just a thing though, family > stuff

Volk Metal Craft! 🤘

Took me long enough. 2024😅

Great vid Jafro. Hopefully you get to bring something to the shootout this year in the trailer!

And, not a gumption trap detected - that's what makes it awesome!

It's rare but powdercoaters sometimes take the time to line holes that don't need coating with Kapton tape and that saves time and hassle later.

Looking for bushes

I'd be keen to see more on the h22 that Matt was working on... but as always this is great content, and to think I've only been watching you since your 10th? video... just keeps getting better

Jafro. Your car just lost about 40% of it's original luxury by replacing rubber with metal. Are you trying to gain 0.1 of a second around a track?

I feel like my DSM is falling apart and I don't have the Jafro skills to keep it from the scrappers :(

I wonder if using dielectric grease will help reduce the amount of dissimilar metal corrosion you get from aluminium bushings into bare steel bosses?

Shout out Matt

Jafro for president!

I am not sure if its because I post the link to the website, my post gets deleted, but dudes custom parts makes a POM bushing set that is waaay more forgiving than the volk solid ones. For anyone driving the car on the street, the aluminum ones are going to pass every single thing through to the chassis. Hope to see you again at shootout Jafro.

So in hindsight do you think it would have been better to press the bushings in before powder coating?

Oh boy, my cricket match cancelled due to rain... Now I get to watch this instead. Ohhh There is no greater criticism then that of your own when you mess something up you know you could have done better. Glad to see you share the lesson, so we can learn it the hard way with you instead of the hardest way on our own.

aircraft stripper and a q-tip will sort those hole in about 15 mins

dont worry, painted my mc helmet and instatly scartched it for frog snacks! then was putting lacquer on carbon fiber visor i made and had some hick up and blasted lots on one spot huge run outs.....for frog snacks! o well good from 3 feet away!

Alluminum holy smokes. I didn't performance modify my suspension really, but at the time 12 years ago aftermarket poly bushings were cheaper than oem ones so I replaced, loved what it did for the handling of my car (a saab). They made alluminum ones, I'd assume with that ammount of rigidity you can feel pebbles on the road through the wheel lol, must be nuts.

Great work jafro, can't wait to see the gsx back on the road

You can use angle grinder to make groves on a bolt and than use same bolt too clean threads. The dirt goes in the groves that you just made on the bolt. If you don't have the proper thread chaser do it like this it helps every time

My freezer gets to -30F

Why your tools box is like "encastred" in the plastic film wall ?

for deep freeze add ethanol to dry ice, it gives great heat transfer and you can really get part to -60C, rule of thumb 1 thou of shrink for 10 degrees difference, also heat receiving part. Heat works both ways Anything on thread screw torque setting which usually set dry. Adding anti seize lovers friction and for needed torque bolt gets really over tightened, TTC added motor oil and got twice clamping force from bolt for a given torque value.

Thank you for the video.

Googled. Duster= -60F Dry Ice= -78F

Inverted duster is colder & quicker than any "freezer" that usually struggles to reach 0 degrees.

I never question what you do I tell people you could build an engine watching these videos but why not powder coat after the bushings were in clearly that are never being removed

These videos are fantastic! Love it everytime. I usually watch them 2 or 3 times

I have been watching your videos for years Iam glad that you still make videos till this day thank for all your hard work

17:40, I have to say this is my favorite bit (I lie, they are all my favorites), but I remember Clean Room I at the house, attempting to address all ills on the engine blocks as they sat rusting. Experiments with glyptal, etc. It all was much better in a clean room (with brake cleaner and coffee filters!). And 23:00 Sad, most of us _DON'T_ have a Matt. We probably don't deserve a Matt. 😒

Thanks mate👍

I always hate damaging sumpin' trying to fix sumpin' else! Great save.

I’d trade my lathe for a Matt any time, to be honest. The re-heating trick for the powder coating is neat! I’m gonna have to work on some powder coated parts soon. I’m probably gonna scratch them. So knowing that i can try to make it pretty again is gold! Thank you, Jafro <3

Jafro is the G.O.A.T.

What a wonderful Saturday

Loved your video and the effort putting it together. You covered A to Z on the stage one, thumbs up. I would like to comment on one thing, Turbulent and laminate flow. (now I am going to do so before checking out the Lovell stuff, which may change my mind). I get your theory on the roof and floor. For mine though, Having a surface on the short radius that leaves its self open to detaching the flow causing turbulent flow and/or eddy currents along the boundary layer may not be as conducive as desired. (Reynolds Number, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number)

Just couldn’t wait to say Milliepeter
