Does anyone have any detailed video on a sl6 complete rebuild? I watched a short video on power nation about building a sl6 but it was not very detailed as far as the actual machine work. Id like to see a sl6 head being ported polished and explained why its being done.

There's a company called Box Wrench that does a pretty good engine rebuilding DVD for about $40. It includes footage of the machine shop work. If you're a complete noob like me it's worth the investment. Their model is a V8 (Chevy I think) but the techniques are the same for any engine.

For the porting/polishing stuff, emsvitil posted a link in my thread "Extras in 1974 rebuild" to a Pirate 4x4 article on DIY porting/polishing. That article has a lot of pictures and explains how and why you should do it.

Really, if you've ever rebuilt an engine, any engine, the slant six is about as simplified as it gets and it goes together the opposite of how it comes apart. But I get what you're saying. I don't know of any how-to book on rebuilding them, but if you read and read and read on this site and ask questions you'll get through it. Someone else may chime in here with a good resource on a video or book specific to the slant.
