UTG engine build "callout"
How much money could UTG actually be making off of the YouTube channel? All that say it is a win/win for UTG is right.
Considering the differences in 318 performance through the years, and the difference in usage and wear, lets make this a fair fight, and use a 318 reman crate engine, and then throw down the gasket challenge.
The “Fair” part came in when UTG said any year 318, your choice. So choose wisely.
I dont understand the logic in tearing apart a worn out 50 year old core engine, and reassembling with zero new parts or machine work. Literally NO ONE, would go to that amount of work, even the very most low buck guy would at very minimum put rings and bearings in it.
So it would seem but to be honest on what UTG said, he just said it has to be a 318, use only the parts contained within. The carb (2bbl.) & intake must be used. What ever you do to it is fine, but it must be the OEM part.
Think FAST engine. WhT can you do to it on the inside to make it faster? Well, I’ll give you all a hint and say, break out the die grinder and start making things light.
Now, with that said...... what else would you do?
I have a few ideas to make/rework stock parts for a faster more powerful engine.
This is an exercise of being creative with what you have instead of running your credit card through at Summit & Jegs.
The way I heard and interpreted the rules is you must reuse the stock rings. You can hone the cylinder and reuse the stock rings IF the items are not beyond reuse. A crank regrind and new bearings might be a must though. Without going back to the video while I make this edit/reply, did he say that was a no no?
