![]() "Grabber Green" is the color and it's available in Dupli-Color's engine enamel with ceramic line of paints. So we chose a color that will get some laughs, some people may like it, and aliens are going to fall head over heels for it. Common colors like black and orange just aren't going to cut it for this build. ♪ ♪ (Mike)> Now it's time to paint the block. (Pat)> After that process a wash is necessary. Full sweeps along the deck in a diagonal pattern will create a clean surface and give the gasket a nice finish to bite into. This is to make sure the head gasket has an adequate sealing surface. ![]() (Mike)> Using a piece of rectangular tube and 220 grit sand paper we're going to address the decks. Now increase the speed while vigorously moving it up and down in the bore for approximately 20 to 60 strokes depending on the bore's condition, and never allow the hone to stop spinning. Insert the ball hone into the lubricated cylinder with it rotating. You have to use a lubricant when performing this job, and speed of the ball hone is also important. (Pat)> The first thing to do is spray the cylinder and the hone. A drill, can of WD 40, and a ball hone you can get at any auto parts store will allow us to refresh the hone job on the cylinder for the fresh ring pack to achieve a good break in. (Mike)> After determining our cylinders are straight and round we're diving right into the budget refresh. Now sit back and follow along, take some notes if you want, but definitely have some fun with us. Even a power adder, and we are gonna push this stock block to its limits to see what it'll do. From the crazy color that we're gonna paint the block, to all the parts involved. (Pat)> And we're not following many rules on this build. We're gonna redub it this time "Re-Rev 2.0". Now this Engine was the original bullet in our '62 Nova a few seasons ago we called "Project Pro Street or No Street". The other half is gonna be a stout top end that's gonna make big power back on our Superflow dyno. The first half is gonna be a super budget friendly refresh on this small block Chevy block. Today's show is gonna be a little bit of a 50/50 mix. Plus to keep your engine cool sometimes it's best to hold the h-two-o. We're giving it a budget friendly rebuild and a thorough interrogation in the cell block. Today on Engine Power "Re-Rev 2.0" comes alive. It made 484 horsepower on the dyno but we want more. (Narrator)> We built a small block Chevy called "Re-Rev".
