Without watching the video... Is this the same guy that's like "let take it apart and see how it skoots"

 

Chooch.

 

Yes, but he's colorful as hell and gives great breakdowns on how/why they designed the way they do.

And colorful ass language, with a fun Canuckistani accent. "... the tears of aborted female fetuses" for example. "Put pixies in one end, torque comes out the other..."

Yes please.

 

Vernacular tickler extrodanare.
Dude is smart as hell too on many levels.

 

Spot on

I hear his voice when I read that. " The bigger the gob, the better the job"

 

I enjoy watching him, and apparently polyglot too, either that, or he worked internationally. His German is pretty spot-on, specifically.

 

Sense of humor and delivery is on par with Red from Red and Green show.

There's only one juicer for me

Actually sold my Dodge Ram with a 360 last year right after I got my Tundra.

 

That's a great bottle right there. I always drink it neat.

 

You sold an 80's-90's Dodge with a 360 to buy your Tundra?

 

I had an '02 B2500 with the 360. Thant thing was a beast.

 

I had a 1997 Ram with the 360 / 5.9L Magnum engine. Yes, sold it about a week after buying the 2006 Tundra.

I needed a truck with 4 doors, and a bigger rear seat. The Ram just didn't have that. Body was rusting out on it from the inside out, and the interior smelled like mold (previous owner put in a moonroof and destroyed the ceiling in the truck).

 

What year did you sell it? 2006? 9 years is a good run for a 360

 

I sold the 1997 Ram in 2023. Bought the 2006 Tundra in 2023 as well.

 

Impressive. The older AMC 360 (predecessor to the Magnum 5.9) was supposed to be a great advancement. Oiling issues seem to kill most of them. Finding a RamCharger with a survivor 360 is tough compared to the smattering of 318s available. Some of that could be due to how many of each were produced. If there’s any old Dodge 80’s era cars and trucks running around still, chances are they have the 318. Pretty reliable little motor.

 

That's interesting, since the 318 and 360 are the same block (in the Magnum iteration anyway), apart from different bores.

A thread on a Dodge oriented forum I'm on has a guy building up a 408 (stroked out 360), and he just had to replace his block due to oiling issues. A crack in the block by a cam bearing was giving him low oil pressure.

 

I hear the oil pump design was partially to blame along with the way the timing cover was designed. Rear cylinders seem to suffer the most. You are more familiar than I would be obviously. I don't think the 318 shared a block with the 360 in the older AMC developed variants though and they are balanced differently.

 

In the Magnum family, the rear cylinders on both the 318 and 360 tended to suffer from the same fate... The intake manifold was notorious for leaking allowing oil to seap in and then work it's way into the cylinders. Oil would burn and eventually clog up the catalytic converter, and the increased heat from that would tend to crack the heads at the rear cylinders.

The LA and Magnum 318 and 360 engines shared blocks, apart from bores. The 360 is externally balanced, the 318 is internally balanced.

I'm not familiar with the older AMCs designs, so I can't comment on those.

 

You ought to go to that wrench a part with @VR6T on one of the days they run engine sales for dirt cheap. I'm curious to see how many and which engines the two of y'all leave with.
We could make a game out of it. $1000 budget each. Who can get the most value?

 

Only been a few years since I knew he existed. The one I remember is the vid he did on the cable car accident.
But everything he says is drawn out with so much meaning and humor. It takes me extra energy to listen to him, typically worth it though.

 

I used to watch that show on a black n white TV as a kid haha

 

Skookum too

 

Yup, R-G Show would play back to back w/Newheart bitd, I'd watch em both. They were both stupid as shit, but probably shaped my bizarre ass sense of humor to be the misery it is today.

 

I never heard of Newheart.
I watched Red Green on PBS.

 

Sorry, typo, Newhart.

Not that TDI that TDI is like 4.2L petrol engine with its chain set up, it's all in the rear of the engine. Cradle drop for basic maintenance ill pass
