I enjoyed the videos. I have never rebuilt a 216 and did not know you could convert the babbit rods to insert bearings. I don’t paint the inside of my Chevy 6 parts like he did, but I have done a couple of small blocks, mostly to aid oil drain back, that was the thinking anyhow. Who knows whether it did any good.
I did notice that he was unsure about the locating dowels on the head, and installed the intake without the rings. Maybe 216 motors don’t use the rings? Otherwise very enjoyable.
