Another great video! I'm a first time engine builder, but not mechanically stupid. I work on multi-million dollar aircraft as my job. Anyways...one question as I have mine apart waiting to get my rebuild kit here. I was wondering if the side seals and/or the corner seals can be reused if they still meet the clearance check at the corner seals?
It may even be easier for a first time builder to use them again since they don't to go through the clearancing procedure.
However, for the minimal investment, I generally replace them.
The reason I'm rebuilding the engine is there was some oil smoke that wouldn't go away when the car was up to temp and the exhaust smelled really rich.

As long as those seals are within all tolerances (they are found in the FSM), then they are fine to use again.

Most likely oil o-rings.

Well instead of doing what I planned to do today, I was distracted by the engine build and then your build process. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. Looking forward to more of the build/instructions, safety reports, product placements, sexual innuendos, psychedelic graphics, weather reports, and what-not-to-do's.
Thanks
Thanks

Hahaha, awesome! It may be a little while before the next one as we're entering auto show season, plus I'm out of the country for a week in February. Couple that with the fact that I'm working on boring sheet metal and, well, it may be a while.
