Anyone blaming the engine builder for Mullet destroying rods clearly has no idea what they are talking about. Garrett said it himself that they were leaning on it way too much and the engine was performing outside of its design parameters hence why it finally crapped the bed.
With all that’s going on inside those engines….Shit can and will happen sometimes.
It’s very clear it’s Steve’s fault…. Don’t believe me ask Texas speed you never leave garret and crew alone with lap top Steve knew better rookie mistake
(This is a joke guys calm down)
Running engine with no oil back at the FF didn’t help any.
@@edwardspaccarelli5944 Steve literally JUST said that didn't cause it. Did you watch the video?
@@joe13glover
Just covering for his money man.
You KNOW someone was going to try to use that driveshaft
Absolutely. Some idiot would put it in a car and then blame Steve when shit happens. Cut it in half so two lucky people get some cool wall art.
I would have. For a floor lamp
Yup 😂🤣🤣🤣
Jb weld that bad boy lol.. someone definitely is going to try
I would use the tube for a bad ass rocket.
Don't you just love all the keyboard engine builders? Lol.
I applaud you for going thru and explaining all this stuff. You're building high performance engines that are pushed to, and beyond, the limits, so it's just a matter of time before stuff breaks. Learning from that and building with different/better components is how things keep advancing. Looking forward to you sharing more knowledge as time goes on.
Cringe really. Dumb comments don’t need to be addressed. Should be ignored. I just wanna see what is actually wrong with the fkn engine
I agree Sir!!
Steve, thanks for the break down. I think walking through diagnosing failures is great content! Keep these coming!
He leaned on it to hard, the crank bent, the rods left the chat. Build it, run it, break it, repeat. Same thing we all do. If you want it to live forever without having to rebuild it, leave it stock and enjoy the warranty. Pay no attention to the internet, people suck. I came here from Cleetus channel and I'm sure a bunch more did too. That has to help you when we view your videos and comment. I'm proud to see the partnership and can't wait to see what's next. I enjoy the after action reviews the most!
It's so funny to me how Steve is low key making sure the dumb people who talk smack get put in their place
As he should! One of the best engine builders in the country, who even put together the Devel 16 engine(this is how highly Steve is looked at in the motorsports scene), does not need advice from youtube comments, or comments telling him about his job! Steve is a professional. If he needed lecturing from YT comments, he wouldnt be where he is at now!
I hope he can maintain it. We are so freeking lucky to have someone at his level share the amount of things he does. I hope these morons don't cause him to stop.
I admire his patience and willingness to correct people.
Clearly Steve has no idea what he’s doing… coming from a weekend backyard engine builder
And no matter how stupid their comment is, he still takes the time to explain to them why they are wrong. Top class
Old Crank machinist here...my money is on a tiny flaw (crack) in one of the fillets where it lived for many runs and it finally got to the point where it started flexing due to harmonics and stress. I can't wait for the magnaflux results. :)
So a small crack that got worse due to cyclical loading? Sounds plausible!
Me too, I would like to see the Magnaflux test results please Steve.
If I was a betting man I would put my money on that as well.
Hmm.
Yes definitely Crank
As came back twice.......Perfect build on original Service checks(lifter and fuel rails)
Failure was in Machinist rebuilding @ Bearings stage........🧐🧐Bent is always Bent at BOTH ends (Harmonically speaking)👍👍
oooooooorrrrrrrrr, he's making more power than the engine could handle! Cleetus pushed this motor pasted its breaking point. Did you even watch the sick week videos.
I wish more people would be like Steve and explain how and why he does things the way he does. I’m learning more from watching him tearing down and building these engines than reading about it. I can see his frustration but Steve has a lot of patience for dealing with stupid. Thank you Steve Morris you’re an inspiration for a lot of us.
Keep up the good work bud, Most of these computer chair engine builders would struggle to rebuild a Briggs and Stratton.. let alone a 2000+HP big block..
"In this episode, you'll see Professor Steve schooling a bunch of bench racers that think they can solve the problem because they had a 3/4 race cam in their 77 Camaro back in the 90's"
Gotta love those 3/4 race cams. Where's the other 1/4?
@@ktmadventures3040 cherry bombs 😂😭
Don't forget the double hump heads
Nope, full race cam, that says " not for street use "
😂😂
Simply here to watch the bluntness of Steve, no flirting with feelings, just straight facts. Absolutely love it.
Yep, this. Steve don’t build junk.
Love the bluntness
Snowflakes can't handle "bluntness". I love how SM handles these id**ts!
You'd almost think he's got Dutch ancestors or at least hangs out with some 😂 .. we're blunt as well 😋
Yep same
I Love Steve’s relaxed attitude, especially when he says to look at the videos first before commenting😂
Steve Morris owes no explanation to these RUclips mechanics. Hes been doing this for years. Ive seen hundreds of his engines put through the ringer with no issues. Everything built by him is absolutely spot on. Any failure that happens is driver error, poor maintenance or simply a part failure. Good job steve!
Lol I'm sure Steve said 35psi max please. Cleet turn it up to 50psi.
I laughed multiple times at your snarky responses Steve... One thing I remind myself of on a daily basis is that you CAN'T FIX STUPID! love the videos brother!
Love the level of detail you go into. Garrett did get back on the gas for not a small amount of time after the rods let go, so the theory about the crankshaft getting burned after the rods failed may have some merit. His datalog showed how long he got back in it. Not sure, may not have been long enough to spin the bearing but he definitely got it back on boost after the rod failure.
My dad and I were talking about this a few days ago. It’d be a struggle maintaining a great reputation when you have people like Old Cleeter beating the living shit out of the engine you built for him by operating it well beyond its initial intended capabilities. But that’s why we all love watching Cleeter vids isn’t it?
Cleet is an idiot
I love how Steve's face doesn't use it's inside voice lmao. You know exactly what he's thinking when he reads those questions
It's just as obvious when Cleeter is telling him what happened. lol That sideways squinty-eye look.
The savagery in the answers will butthurt some armchair mechanics for sure 😂😂
"Steve's face doesn't use its inside voice." 😆 😂 🤣 I found that hilarious because my wife has the same problem when dealing with certain people. Great comment, man.
Hes damage controlling for Garretts oil free startup on this one. That's blatantly dry running damage it was even predicted the exact part that would go first with people familiar with the oil delivery passages on this bbc engine. Steve can point at whatever he likes but this is oil starvation damage that half clam roasted up because it was starved of pressure driven oil. End of.
@@bigduphusaj162 Perfect username. You know less than any person I have ever met.
Steve I learned a valuable lesson from one Samuel Clements ie Mark Twain. He said “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” Thanks for all of this amazing information your share with us. And PS is there an SMX headed Garrett’s way or is he on a waiting list?
This just goes to show how most people are always so eager to point fingers. Most people don't see or appreciate the fact that it brought a 3500 lb car into the 6's or how it won 3 big events and drove 3k miles without any major issues. Keep up the good work Steve, really enjoy all the videos.
I did watch the build of the mullet engine. You are great at paying attention to the little details. You share much more than Most builders would ever do and I appreciate that. Dead on calling out the so called experts from their couch.
Fr I love these videos. I love when he calls out the couch morons.
Also love the details he shares.
Steve, I love how you answer questions differently depending on if they’re a logical thought or not. When people don’t use common sense at all, you give them the wise ass remark they deserve. When they bring up a good point, you explain why it’s likely or not. Appreciate the knowledge you’re spreading and the time you take to do it. Amazing stuff.
Ya makes it much more entertaining
common sense is no longer common
@@Vteccer666 It never was.
He'd covering for Garrett here because this is stick on Dry Start damage its the same as oil pump failure damage, I even said on both this channel and on Garretts channel that this would be the exact damage have a look in my history on both channels. I accurately described what the damage was and I'm now worried Steve might not be as genuine as made out as on the 4 instances I've dealt with dry engines its been this exact damage even on the last one which was a Yamah R1 engine that had been started and ran by accident by a dealership mid oil change. The back half clams dry up and spin the front ones where oil residue is still being pulled from the oil passages survive. Same with failed oil pump damage.
BTW this channel is now getting called Snowflakey due to all the "who said what to who" crap and Steve wants to Address that. If you put a vid on youtube and leave the comment section open then you can expect opinions as a byproduct. Crying about opinions is the 101 of being a Snowflake it really is.
gotta love the armchair builders, Cletus clearly stated he was pushing the engine well past what it was designed to do. love your work Steve keep it coming!
As a gear head we do appreciate your time and knowledge. I really enjoyed all the Steve tech videos. Stay safe and keep making these videos for the true fans and racers
Keyboard engine builders! Steve sets it straight low key calling them out. Simple, mullet was a killer build for a job and that job got exceeded and finally checked out. Killer videos with tons of info.
I love how he low key tells people to F off.
I just wanna say. As someone in the military. Your no bullshit sarcasm is just so enjoyable to watch. I love it. Keep on keep'n on.
I have rebuilt a bunch of race engines over the years and some just lock up as soon as you start them, some run for thousands of miles trouble free before destroying themselves and everything in between. The trick is learning from every broken engine and applying that lesson to the next build. 😎 loving the response from Steve answering the keyboard builder questions with low key shade 😂
If you rebuild an engine and it locks up on the first start up YOU did something wrong... LoL
@@tylermallory2504 yep 😂 won't make that mistake again. 🤦🏼♂️
@@tylermallory2504 If any tradesman tells you he's never screwed up a job, he's lying through his teeth. Everyone makes mistakes, but you can tell a lot about a man by how he responds to messing up.
Mullet was simply too bloody awesome and he demanded a SMX so he can warp space itself lol
Instead of moving the car across earth's surface it will rotate the earth under the tires.
Time for bed kids
@@Im_Old_Gregg Like Chuck Norris?
“It makes 3000 hp and it shouldn’t” 😂. Steve, you are the man. Keep up the good work.
Steve don't let keyboard warriors get to you. You're an extremely talented builder/engineer and do an amazing job and sometimes shit just breaks...especially when you turn that crazy Florida giraffe loose with it. Always appreciate the videos to learn from.
I love the thought of someone trying to tell STEVE MORRIS anything about how to build an engine. He's literally legendary and people wait in lines and will pay whatever amount he asks for to build their engine. It's hilarious.
One thing I like about your channel is the openness and honesty plus your knowledge
Keep up the good work mate cheers from down under
Steve is more upfront than anyone I’ve seen. If I had the money he would be on my shortlist for builders. It’s amazing that the muppets online alway seem to know better than actual experts.
He has the expertise and experience to design and manufacture his own engine, he originally built mullets engine and also did the refresh so he’s familiar with it and it’s history.
I really think Steve is going to be the best person to say what’s happened with it. I certainly wouldn’t see a need to question his opinion.
The tear down was an excellent video. I learnt a ton out of it.
Keep up the Most Excellent Work
I know EXACTLY what happened to this engine. Mullet got very excited with himself when the engine got pulled to recondition it. He had ALL that time to sit quietly and dream about getting a engine put back in him so he could haul it down the track running all the boost he wanted. When he got his engine put back in, it took him about 400 miles and a few runs to say WAIT A DAMN MINUTE, this all seems awful familiar. It was during the last run that he got the ah haaaaa moment and realized, Cleetus and Steve had pulled a fast one on him basically giving him back his old engine and he felt like he got shafted with a refurbished job here. SO what does Mullet do? He said F this I will show ya'll and BOOM.. down she goes. He said now, THAT aughta do it.. Give me a SMX or I will drop it worse next time. AND THAT folks is how Mullet took care of the issue and cost his dad a shit ton of money while getting his way in the end :)
I love how cleetus started just throwing junk in random orders to do his spring cleaning, and everyone else started it too. Great way to clean up your shop and sell extra merch. Two birds, one stone
As a retired mailman, thank you to all the RUclipsrs that do this. Gotta keep those retirement checks coming.
It's a genius way to throw garbage away yet keep it out of the landfill and give customers memorabilia
You think cleetus started this? 😄
i mean a piston or a rod etc yeah, a driveshaft? lol
I remember being able to buy broken parts at NHRA winter nationals in Pomona when I was a kid. Still have a Doug Herbert piston.
It's amazing some of the comments directed towards the engine build. If anyone watches Cleetus they KNOW that Steve has stated, ON CAMERA, to Garrett that the engine combo is good for 35 lbs. of boost, max. They were running 45-50 lbs. of boost, and Cleetus owned it 100% when it blew. He had horseshoes last year. SMX time.
That’s probably the cause actually. He wanted to go faster so he reduced the weight by removing the horseshoes. Lol!
Hope so. Those SMXs look BADASS
Yep, if anything Mullet's engine is an example of just how good Steve's engines really are! The amount of abuse it withstood is impressive to say the least!
I can’t remember 100% but I think with those big turbos on mullet now, Steve only said 25psi.
Still be 3000hp but they were already running 30-35psi to go 6.5’s and then Garrett wanted more boost up around the 45+psi lol.
And people still trying to have a go at steve….
@@bmorg7244 Precisely
It will always be wild to me that you drop so much information and explain everything and people still try to be armchair mechanics. Although seeing your response to their comments is top tier and I’m here for it
Some of us have opened thousands of engines and some of us own engine repair shops. Who are you again?
@@bigduphusaj162 LOL!!! You're username is so fitting! Plus - "This channel has no videos" so... On here, unless you post evidence on your channel you are a 14 year old kid in your parents basement. Prove you aren't. It would be REALLY hard. Upload a video on this platform. It will take you seconds. Oh, you won't? Ok. Hi 14 year old kid.
Steve might know a little more
@@bigduphusaj162 the simple truth is no matter your qualifications, you do not have a reputation here. So no one cares.
@@manfrommaine1194 yeah about the engines he deals with hes clearly clued right up i watch him because of it. He doesn't know more about say Napier Deltic than me or any marine engine or any mass produced German car engine or motorbike engine. I own the engine shop here in the UK and personally deal in marine now but spent 3 decade on car and motorbike engines.
Steve your patience is nothing short of amazing . The Cleetus crew is a passionate bunch and you handled this perfectly !!!
As a fan of Steves he's sounding like a Snowflake now. He wants to just bin they emails and not care. I'm not interested in prickly vids I want tech talk and if Steves getting prickly over comments then he should stop reading them altogether. This comment section is turning into a prickly mess full of snowflakes and nut bag swingers.
Yeah rite he seems like he’s mad about something lol little cry baby
I go back to what you said during the tear down. Cleetus was leaning way harder on Mullet’s engine than what you felt was a safe zone for it to run. But, you have to be proud of what Cleetus put it through last year and took a lot of wins home.
New subscriber here (yes, because Cleetus) this might be my new favorite channel. You're a mad genius Mr Morris!
- respect.
Oh geez. A 3000+ horsepower engine pushing 55 pounds of boost blew up. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE! Must be Steve’s fault! Lol respect to anyone who asked respectful questions about the health of the motor but clearly most of those guys have no idea what it takes to build and break an engine of that magnitude. You’re the best Steve, never change💪🏻
I’m not questioning someone who can make 4,500 hp. Your most definitely a mater of your craft and Garret pushed the motor past your recommended. I knew he would because that’s his style and the content has been great.
I know your pain steve. As a cnc machinist when there's a problem with some part or program and everyone turns into a programmer and/or a machinist and starts "suggesting what's wrong or how to fix it, I have to bite my tongue and try my hardest to not tell them to stfu.
I spent most of my career building custom machines for factories, after 25 years doing it I'm still amazed how many supervisors and managers instantly become experts on machining or electrical or automation and magically know more than me the guy who built these one of a kind machines lol
@@Greg1096 you know what they say, “Those who can’t manage those who can”.
After 40yrs of being a bodyman and everyone thinking they could do it because they pop riveted a piece of sheet metal on a rust hole and painted it with a spray can, my tongue has calluses because of biting it so much.
Yep. I used to own a dyno tuning company and it was always the Tuners fault. Ignorance runs rampant. People never want to be responsible for their actions, it is always "someone else's fault".
I'll be honest the cnc guys I know are pretty much a human monkey just typing and likely and cause more dramas than a batman villain. Communication is not you guys strong point infact the best line I heard as an excuse for a £55grand mess up was a CNC guy and the excuse was "I'm not paid to think" 🤣
Edit: not you mate I don't know you hahaha just the CNC guys I do know must be the ones that done the home college method to meet the grades. Thats a thing here in the UK they employ these open college guys like they are the real deal.
I love that you can see the frustration on your face from repetitive "dumb" questions LoL
Also super smart move chopping the driveshaft to keep a meatball from trying to use it!
Awesome video as always! Happy to see your getting more and more into the RUclips world!
100% respect for the patients to answer the common/over sighted questions and not get to frustrated with them!
No sarcasm, after being a mechanic for 13 years and being in teams at grass roots levels this was handled pretty well. :)
This BLOKE is a legend and well known around the world. Im in Australia and love watching this guys clips.
People are hilarious if they are telling YOU how to build an engine LMFAO
Keep up the great work buddy, and these info uploads, love learning from 1 of the best in the WORLD !
Big fan from New Zealand here. I feel like half the people commenting came straight from Cleetus' channel to blame Steve without watching his build vid. I love how cause it broke it must be Steve's fault! Push the limits and you start to break stuff. I never heard people say Steve built his engine wrong when it decided it didn't want any pistons and rods.
@@BrickNewton Imagine telling any other engine builder in the world about your NO OIL starts lmao
Wish Cleetus came over with the Street Outlaws =)
Oh and over here we are so JELLY of your rotang builders, This country builds over priced ticking time bombs !
I’m from the diesel world (so higher cylinder pressures) but we found out even high quality cranks will flex, like a lot. In a Cummins (in-line 6) there maybe as much as 3-5 degrees of flex from cylinder 1 to 6. Firepunk has an awesome video on it. I never thought a crank would flex like that and not break. Amazing the stuff holds together at all
Link please , didn't see it.
Steve morris you are a bloody legend for taking the time to show us all this stuff and educate us all, i love your attitude to the questionable comments. This video and all of your others just show what sort of character you are, very open minded, but straight to the point no bullshit answers. Keep it up!!!! You da man!
In 40yrs i have never seen an motor blow up that bad with such little damage but the intake valve head laying in the chamber took the cake. ! Enjoining your videos...
The engine was built for a certain amount of boost it was pushed way over that limit
And it did exactly what any other engine would do if you exceeded its limits 😉 👌
Another engine sent to boost heaven
Keep up the amazing work Steve
Boost will eventually find a weak link if there is one. You never know that link until it shows it's scattered parts.
You build amazing motors and when I win the lottery I'll have one. Thanks for all you do.
8-13 year old KeyBoard Engine Builders are so fun!! It's called RACING, things can and will fail at some point when pushing it past it's intended design... Steve Morris Engines are top Dog!!
Everyone is a engine builder in their garage. Just like everyone is a body tech or so on. Got to love the people that know nothing. Keep up the good work.
Just dropping in to congratulate the hundreds/thousands of successful engine developers and builders down here. Keep it up guys you're doing great
Im glad you finally mentioned the no oil thing. I started to feel like you were really tapping around that subject but good to know it wasnt a factor.
Some people just do not understand how gnarly of a concept reciprocating engines are. So many processes have to go 100% right 100% of the time to avoid destruction.
Don’t let the haters get to you Steve, everyone knows you’re a wicked engine builder and you build some of the best engines out there. You’re always gonna get hate comments especially when dealing with a big audience like Cleetus has. Keep doing you and don’t let the keyboard warriors get to you.
Thank you for having the patience to answer even the silly questions... I learn so much watching your videos ..
Anyone that closely watches your content knew this was a possibility and not a reflection on builder 🤦 Keep up the great work S.M. Crew 🇺🇲💪
Love the sincere, brutal, honesty on how things work!
Love the LOGICAL explanations with demonstration of your explanations!
Steve is one of the best engine builders in the world right now. So anyone questioning him is just miles out of their league. Stuff breaks when you drag race, that’s just what happens. If it were easy to go fast every high schooler in a 4th Gen Camaro would be running 5’s in the quarter
People have to remember: Mullet is a heavy girl.....
Yeah I had a girl like that once she wasn’t fat she was just big boned
Heavy is a understatement for that thing I have no clue what was going through his head when they built it that he left it that heavy instead of cutting it up more (elcos aren’t exactly a heavy vehicle to begin with)
Lighter than the wagon though
WOW ! Another oil pan failure. Got to build a better stronger oil pan to hold the rods in.
Steve I've been building engines for 30 years. I could never are would never comment on any of your builds. Because there arnt many people in this world that I believe are entavators in a field like I believe you are. An if I was you the only comment you should really read would be if smokey rose from the grave and commented. In my eyes your a genius in a field. Keep up the innovation power on.
Honestly love the work you great guys do. You’ve done this for years and I wouldn’t feel you need to explain what you found and how you’ve rebuilt an engine just for people to blame a build. Love the channel! 🤝🏼
2👍's up Steve Morris thank you for sharing
agreed I often find the answer to my questions in past videos
Not to snarky, just the right amount of honesty and truth
Great video, Steve. I've been working on almost everything with an engine since I was a kid, and I still learn something every time I watch any of your videos. Keep up the great work, brother.
One of the hardest things i have learned is there are times you will not find a reason for failures!!! Move on and thanks for your time Steve
Can’t wait for the FUN SPIRTED, LESSON TEACHING STEVE !! To come back, almost seemed like someone pushed his buttons before the video, I’ll put that aside and come back to watch more !!!! Love the time and effort you put into your channel for us !!! God bless
Anybody who has been around professional racing knows that race engines are built for a good time, not a long time lol. Keep up the good work Steve, I'm a fan of the channel and a fan of the engines even longer.
I'm a Country Guy and as kids we were always told" listen more, talk less so " that's why I love listening/ watching you break down these motors . it's awesome and we appreciate it !
Champion. You’re a master craftsman and people need to respect your technical abilities. Also all these people must have missed you telling Cleeter he’s pushing way past the abilities of the engine you built for him and it’s only a matter of time.
I am so invested in all your videos ! Absolutely killer Q&A bud ! Keep ‘em coming !
Love these diagnosis videos you do. Very cool and very informative. Appreciate you posting them and showing what goes into a build but also what can go wrong and how it happens.
Incredible content, thank you Steve! Just to think that an SMX block can drive cross country while making 4500 HP is absolutely mind blowing, absolute car guy dream goals to own one of these one day.
You would probably put it on street mode, on pump gas, and with less power. That thing would be sick to just drive around not even race it lol.
I had no idea that we had so many armchair machinist in the world!! Sorry to hear so many people that should listen instead of speaking are writing in . You have more experience as an engine designer and builder than most people have seen or heard of. Props to you for keeping your cool when discussing and teaching the public about your trade and passion!
Exactly.
Steve, we used to keep a glass cabinet called the "hall of shame". We used it to display different components that were broken in various ways as a "show and tell" to customers (this was industrial equipment and not automotive but the principle applies) as explanations and cautionary tales. You might want to stick a bin in the corner with damage from bent crankshafts, backfires, lean conditions, no oil, dropped valve, etc.) Just a suggestion since you seem to enjoy teaching with visual aids. (this was industrial equipment and not automotive but the principle applies) (this was industrial equipment and not automotive but the principle applies)
It's racing. Engines are pushed to the absolute max. Things are going to break and will break. Love the videos
I would never attempt to give you advice on anything to do with an engine! The fact that you make all this simple is the definition of a true expert! Please keep doing what your doing! Finger warriors be damned!
People on the internet are always trying to tell eskimos how to build igloos. It's insane. Don't let 'em get to you Steve!
You lot are the definition of snowflakes. People can say what they like, get over it
@@bigduphusaj162 I don't think you know what a "snowflake" is, but I'm glad you found a fun keyword. Anyways, you are correct that people can say what they like, which is what we have done. What if you took your own advice and YOU got over it?
@@kevinb873 snowflake is someone who gets butt hurt over even peoples opinions. Infact the No1 criteria for being a Snowflake is being annoyed by opinions. Furthermore when people are on the defensive and claiming they are "educating" people are often doing it because they are hiding something. On this case Steve is hiding the tech book knowledge on oil starvation since the Steam ages. Massive amounts of people predicted this exact damage after witnessing Garretts dry start vid and since crystal balls don't exist and fluke only happens the odd time then we must assume they were 100% correct. You gunna cry about the maths and science behind it now pal and commit Snowflake sin No2?
@@bigduphusaj162 Not a chance I'm reading all that pal. Thanks for stopping by though.
Half these questions could be answered by just watching Steve’s videos.
Exactly! People are still asking if it was a problem when Cleetus ran it without oil 😆
Know it all's don't listen because they can't shut up long enough to hear.
I love Steve & his amazing attitude! I Love that he calls out the haters bc he knows he's one of the best in the business & these keyboard mechanics can all go hang out together & lie to each other! Lol 🤣
Love the videos Steve - I'm not educated in the realm of engines, but I enjoy the content to see how/when/why you would choose different things for different applications.
As a small biz owner I appreciate the time you take to make the videos as well as running a successful biz. Learn stuff every time.
It is this type of video that makes this channel so watchable. Many have questions when this level of damage occurs, so who better to answer them than the guy who built the engine. Brilliant stuff again Steve.
It is a shame Steve has to make these videos thought it was clear in the I am sending you off to war and the pull apart videos of the engine... Anyone with any knowledge of the giraffes foot knows it is not going to have a happy time
Great session Steve! More please in the future. It’s wonderful to watch your thought processes.
I got one that'll give you a chuckle Steve! When I was in the Diesel Engine Business as a Warranty Engineer, we had a crank come back claiming "Factory Defect" after it broke. Hmmm. Crank had been STICK WELDED up (porosity everywhere) and reground! They used Inch wheels and double radiused all the journals (ours were metric). The kicker was they letter stamped the rod and main sizes in ENGLISH and anything factory would have been in GERMAN! You can imagine the shit people tried to pass of as a "Factory Defect" when they don't know we do this all day every day! 🤣
I really appreciate you breaking this down for us, going through the questions and giving us different scenarios to try and comprehend, I don't think there is anywhere you can go to get this type of education
Emails on what went wrong? Seriously? To a shop that literally does this day in and day out for many many years and many more to come hopefully. God I pity there doctors they may have to go see lol. Keep the videos rockin Steve. (Everyone's a snake expert until it's time to pick up said non venomous snake)
You go way above and beyond to be the SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT. your a master of your craft. It’s so rare to see not only that love. But to take time and teach. You deserve so much more respect than you get. How many people show their work. O. And you work. Lol. So rare
I floated and broke a valve and bent 3 other inlet valves on my modified motorcycle engine in '81 at 12,500rpm
It was not a pretty sight to behold the carnage.......
You float valves at high rpm and whack them and it breaks and drops on top of the piston, its serious OUCH.
I agree with you Steve, i reckon that was the last revenge of the piston before it came to a halt. Probably had the valve open when the broken rod was whacked by its journal buddy, went up the bore and smacked the open valve.....
Racing cars break
Racing car engines break
Sometimes spectacularly
People maybe dont realise just how much 1,000 hp is
Most have no idea of how much 2,000 hp is
When you get to 3,000 plus hp its a very select few that are in that stage
And the funny car/top fuel of 10,000/12,000 hp class- very few understand that sort of brutal, brutal power
Wish there was another word for it
Those alu rods are huge.....
And their motors are rebuilt between every run
Not like you guys drag n drive motors of 3,000- 4,500 hp that goes pump gas switch over and sustained lowish rev under high torque conditions (low revs, high gear with trailer load and greater throttle opening) that is twisting a crank heavily to move the vehicle at 70mph uphill for hundreds of miles
Then switch over from pump to race gas and do murderous pulls down the strip
That is testimony itself to the quality of the engines in those events.
Kudos to you engine builders
Keep on keeping on
Heads up
Eyes open
No fear
And I grew up hearing "There are no dumb questions" comments on your videos have definitely proved me wrong LOL boy you're a man of patience Steve.....Keep building kick ass power plants
Steve you know we know more about this stuff then you do that’s why we have all this free time to watch your videos and comment while your still in shop working.. it’s not that we can’t be awesome successful engine builders it’s cause we to busy trying to teach you how to.. get it together man and listen to us
That's some funny stuff 🤣
😜 exactly !
🤣🤣🤣
It's than, NOT then.
It's not that difficult.
The word "then" means "at that time" and is used to talk about when things will happen. The word "than" is used to compare things.
@@mrbmp09 I’m sending you a virtual hug buddy hope you get to feeling better soon and decide to laugh
Cool beans on the driveshaft. Can u throw in a signature on the driveshaft pieces for whomever wins the pieces
Great stuff..Learning a bunch here..Thanks STX
I’m with Steve’s first train of thought. 2nd rod broke because first rod took it out. First rod broke because the bearing spun and took it out. Rod bearing spun because the main spun. The main spun because the crank was bent. The reason the crank bent is in the data log and tune. Someone would have to go through and dissect them side by side.
LOVE IT!! Ignore the trolls! You and Cleetus teaming up is amazing. With your help he has gone so far. You and him being teamed up is amazing for both of you in my opinion. Nobody can find the limits in a controlled chaos kind of way better then Cleetus. And without you I doubt he would be at the level he now is. Can't wait to see what the two of you have in store!
