Very good vídeo.

Super informative! Thanks!

Super informative! Thanks!

I have built a number of SBC,s over the years, 383's for road racing, have been using your cranks for many years, a couple years ago when they had covid in full swing I was building one, an LT1 383, and they said I couldn't get a Callies or Howards because things were as good as shut down, that you were just trying to keep up with Harly Davidson, long story short, I bought a Crower crank, when you named top crank makers I didn't hear Crower mentioned, so far so good, still running smooth.

This isn't a bad video, but it's very basic and he should be more precise with his wording and specific describing what type of crankshaft and application he is talking about and how features could vary accordingly. One example is him saying "tenths" when he really means "ten thousandths". Some people may be very confused by that. Two tenths of an inch is 0.2" but two ten thousands of an inch is 0.0002". Another example is he doesn't state the fact that he's talking about a big bore, long stroke crankshaft in this video and that some of the features of that type of crankshaft may not apply to a different application like for example, a small bore, short stroke crankshaft with good overlap where you can remove the center counterweights without any problems.

Good content. Intro and outro are too long!

Very Smart, man. God bless you

Just amazing on today's engines people are getting 1,000 Horsepower on stock bottom ends. Unheard back in the muscle car era

Interesting and useful. Thanks for taking the time! I know of Mr Kaase, but never heard him speak, seems like a thoughtful, down to earth person. (Video people: it's too bad the annoying music at beginning and end is much more clear than Mr Kaases speaking. Thanks for video, though!)

Can't understand why this channel has not more subscribers, the amount of correct knowledge shared is invaluable.

When men like John talk, We listen

You are a genius. AG

What is a "fuel crank"? and "fuel racing"? is it topfuel drag racing?

appreciate the very informational presentation John

Been mechanic and in speedway (midgets) all my life. Still can't work out why cranks need counter-weights. I've seen midget engines with ZERO counter-weights and when I did a Datsun1200 motor for my juniour midget I spent 2 days cutting away at the crank with 2 grinders. Zero weights and more (or should that be less). Man, would that thing buzz and rev.

I wish he would let the actual balancer speak instead of interrupting him all the time.

Lake wont let him talk.

What we are witnessing are the effects of consuming too much espresso quickly.

Looking forward to it! Genuinely one of the most informative things on RUclips! I have advanced my knowledge by decades for listening to last year's expo ❤

Thank You , Sir

I have a few 1990 taurus 3.0 liter sho in looking for custom main bearing on that engine can they be custom made? If yes who can make them specifically number 1 and number 4 there larger thank in hoping to hear from you

You don't use a stock damper on a high performance engine.... Obviously, but whats the difference and how many types of dampers are there. Is there a "best damper" or dofferent types for different engine power levels? I was hoping Randt would get into that area at least a quick overview. Im surprised that moving the bob weight so little would have any effect. Great info even tho its beyond my pay grade. 👍

I had no idea Billy was so down to earth. I thought he would talk in what amounts to another language but he is making it so easy that even a caveman like me can understand!

"THE LS MOTOR IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S OLDSMOBILE"

Please, Mr Interviewer, let grandpa talk. Pay some respect to him and us, thank you!

I do crank balance for General Motors prototype engines. I put heavy metal in radially but, instead of a press fit, I tap the hole and thread the metal. Then, one tiny tack weld adds no significant amount of heat to the crank but it keeps the screw from rotating and locks it in forever.

Awful, typical American presentation just like a cheap game show.

His understanding and explanation is outdated. Factory v8 cranks have 8 counterweights. They stopped talking imperial 50 years ago also.

I appreciate everyone here. The video and the comments. Didn't know that about a cylinder thanks everyone cheers😊

Good segment, lake, can you pls ask Randy, is the 351c Conrad at 5,78' to short for 7000 rpm, 11-1 street n strip. Mike

Do you run your balance or at 500 RPM or 7,000 seed harmonica come at 7000

Thanks Lake Good video

Crank throws can bend TWO DEGREES out of rotational position from load? Nah. Show me.

18:58 "Take a file & drill it & see how much fun you have" LOL. I have a Callies 4-3/4 crank in my KB-600, it's a beautiful thing!

If only a crank was loaded with bobweights instead of rods and pistons.

Could it be ran on the street

I sure need an engine balancer in my shop.

Would applying SUMEbore, going through the diamond honing process up to 1,200 grit and adding gas ported gapless rings help keep E85 out of the oil of my 392 Gen 3 Hemi?

Non- roller tip rockers?

The overlap on LSA.

Thanks for all this great info, I really do appreciate it! One thing though, LSA doesn't matter? Ya'll are way too smart for that statement.

Lake Speed...dumbass 🙄 Jon Kasse....Guru! 😎

The part where you mentioned cutting counterweights would piss @DavidVizard OFF!

If my called for install Height is 1.800 for my cam spring kit but the put my Distance to bind at .098 can I shim it to near .050 or Will that give me too much pressure. Simpleton question from a simpleton without spring pressure tool.

Does Scat or Eagle have these capabilities

THESE OLD TIMERS GOT ALOT OF KNOWLEDGE I LEARNED ALOT THANKS SO MUCH GODBLESS YOU ALL

The last set.. was that out of a eco diesel? 😂

can yal do some honing with regular stones, something most machine shops are going to be using..

Surface area: you get more with a roller against the lobe. That said... I still prefer flat tappets for lower lift [sub 0.500"] applications

All those needles for the bearing is a recipe for failure.
