The roller thrust bearing is at the front, while the stock type one is at the rear, so as temperature goes up the block would grow more than the crank, DECREASING the thrust clearance. That combined with pressure from the converter... Probably none of this makes a difference when racing for 6 seconds, but on the street drive between tracks - and towing the trailer - the whole drive train would probably be warmer than any other time. Also, for the trash in the filter - Was the dry sump tank cleaned out? Trash could have come through from previous junk left in the tank???
Love the honesty and transparency. As a team manager myself we run into these issues all the time. Its all easy in retrospect! Only additional thing possible would be to swap a spare pump in at the track and rule out a pump issue. Its not a ton of work to replace a dry sump pump and most guys with a 4k hp motor carry a spare :)
@@gmabailey40 well, it was the idle oil pressure issue. Which ofcourse is scary because one would think the excess pressure on crank & oil pressure could be related
cannot say I've ever seen a crank walk backwards against and eat the forward side of a thrust bearing, except once, when a washer was placed onto the crank snout behind a journal, where it shouldn't have been! crank was pushed backwards and wedged hard against case front, it ate everything up quickly(accidental thrust location). lol add-on junk bolted to the crank snout/pulley could potentially push it backwards hard enough to cause damage, that would be some major oversight and bad assembly work to cause it though. watching the rest to see if anything is found.
I found the problem too! It’s got an SMX big block in it! Things more reliable than this engine has been in Cleeter’s car: British electronics from the 60’s. 2 strokes with straight gas in them. Land Rovers. The weather man.
If I had low oil pressure issue with and external pump, the first thing I would check is the pump, before I tore down a complete engine. Also, the minor scuffing inside the pump doesnt seem to add up to all the metal in the filter.
Something tells me Steve has enough small metal slivers in his fingers that metal detectors go off Reminds me of rebuilding hydraulic pumps when the rotating group explodes
Why not put the trust on the back of the block so it isn't trying to collapse your crank like an accordian under thrust load. There has to be close to .020" of collapse in the crank webbing under load for that back thrust to still be kissing or the retainer is pushing off that much likely a little of each. Regardless I think it would take a lot of stress off the crank and bearings if it only had the rotational loads to deal with.
From your video yesterday I thought oil pump (just logic using the info you provided, I'm no engine guy!) and thanks to this vid, I now know why & how that was the case. Great educational stuff, cheers for explaining so well Steve!
Hey , Steve, I know you probaly will never see this, but is it possible to have crankshaft deflection from the thrust being moved from the rear solid crankshaft snought ,to the front through all the offset rod journals ? maybe even causing a imbalance on trans input shaft or convertor .Not to discredit anything you do ,you do wonderful work .I love all the free knowledge you put here for all of us to absorb. Just wonder if that is possible ??
There could of been Material in the Oil Tank and or Lines. I've found Material in my Oil Tank even after draining it. I found the Material when I pulled it apart to clean the inside of the tank out.
So, if there was crap in the drysump tank on assembly, it would get picked up by the pressure section and then trapped in the filter. That would be my bet.
Been watching your vids since you made your first vid with cleeter, and you’re one of the smartest guys and you have the confidence behind you the whole time. Keep it up and don’t even listen to the losers that hate. They couldn’t even build a 4 stroke motor 😂❤
I just noticed at 13:33 it looks like a chunk of the sleeve is broken off of what I believe is the number 2 cylinder? Is that precious damage from the scratch and dent damage? Or is the sleeve clearances that way intentionally to clear rotating assembly?
Could the material found in the filter screen be from a turbo that’s on its way out? I believe turbo’s are tied into the engine oiling system correct? I don’t know much about turbo engines, but the engine internals look great so maybe one of the turbos introduced metal into the oiling system
Maybe it’s just me, but it kind of feels like a scam for you, Steve to leak this kind of information without payment. But then again, you’re not asking for anything. Got a Subscriber !!!
Steve, if you now have .027 thrust, do you have that much clearance in the rod journals? If not, how would you not have wear on the rod bearings and piston skirts?
I absolutely love the content. I had a feeling it could have been something with the oil pump after you found the thrust to be fine. The tear down and explanation rocked👌💪
I came from the DSM world, crank walk is a very real issue for the 4G63 engine both automatic and manuals as both see thrust on the end of the crank which eventually walks one of the counter balance weights into the block.
As the aluminum block grows in length the crank gets shorter in relation thus reducing clearance at the aft position of the rear main thrust. Just saying clearance doesn't grow with heat. Not a problem though.
I don’t think 99% of people actually understand what’s going to happen with horsepower and boost. Look at the top fuel guys, even the pro stock cars. Most are rebuilding engines after every pass.
I’d say if your building a new or putting together a new engine to check the torque converter snout to back off crank shaft clearance with some play dough, like checking piston this valve clearance. Just to make sure there is enough clearance, say it doesn’t take much for a converter to heat up and start pushing on the crank if it was close.
Steve, I think you did see more thrust clearance than 0.007" at the track. The engine was very warm to hot and the aluminum block grows more than the steel crank. Your forward and rear thrust surfaces are at opposite ends of the block.
I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again. The caliber of your work and the engineering that went into the development of the SMX over the years is fully evident during the teardown process. As a Journeyman Patternmaker I really like to work with my hands and fully appreciate the time and effort put into making the SMX come to life. Enjoy the Air Show too if you can!

To be fair, I never used an adapter that small before, always some hulking billet piece with no account for lightening.

Did you check the valve spring shims? he did brake a valve spring...do you not use shims?
would the crank get longer do to Thermal Expansion

This guy doesn't bull shit he tells it like it is and doesn't hide anything that is a business man right there.. keep up the great work love the videos
When Steve says "... especially with Garett"
There's kind of a mix of respect, and sadness, in Steve's voice.
Like he knows his old girlfriend is having a really, _really_ good time these days lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even though I’ll never have anything close to this caliber of performance I still find your videos very informative. Thanks Steve!
I think a lot of us identify with that statement..🤘🏻😎
You can do anything you put your mind to. Don't have to start at this level of engine but building any engine is fun.
@@duanebailey6253 and dreams are free..
These are small cute engines to any marine mech. I work on stuff that ticks over at this bhp level only it has magnitudes more torque. I still find it fascinating that Steve can get this sort of power from a block that size and it be relatively reliable. You'd think any block that size would go bang around the 2500hp mark at the very most.
looks like someone ignored the warning at the beginning of the video
I so enjoy your show. As a fellow drag racer for over 50yrs I know the little things can grab you.
Usually purple converter is lack 9f cooler flow orcooler bypass stuck open. Do you have a thermostat in the cooler lines for the trans.?
For me, it is ALWAYS the little things.
@@juniorthetuner5113cavitation causes extreme heat like this too and its notorious for only melting the very surface leaving the rest of the material fine, well at least for a while it does. Whats the possibilities of cavitation happening in there? is there any way air can be getting to that surface as or before its getting absolutely battered with oil?
I love how you handle all the keyboard bench builders with education, and explanation. Which works for me
That certain smile he has when he really wants to say, "STFU, your DON'T know what you're talking about." I applaud the man for his patience. I couldn't be that nice.
some of us are marine mechs, air techs etc and have dealt with a lot bigger and more powerful engines more frequently than Steve, some people have jobs where they work on multiple engine types and could buy and sell Steve. Steve admits it too he said it in a vid where he showed the barra hes doing. I mean Barra is popular in the UK now too and we are up to speed with the Ausies.. does that give me the right to look down on Steve because im familiar with Barra and large marine engines? Coz i dont think it does. Also, Steve invited all the kids in when he asked Garrett to get him up to 400k subs. Cant moan now and he isn't. It seems to be you moaning so
@@bigduphusaj162 should be a pinned comment honestly, because you're 100% right! He's the one taking the time and energy to record this stuff too
@bigduphusaj162 not buttnhurt good luck getting a civilian job afterwards, get a degree while your there. I did diesel repair in the military , then tech school, 20 years OEM engine R&D for big 3. Look at the brightside, your great at assuming. Stay safe out there,
Haha Keyboard bench builders I like that!
My favorite part of working at sassy race engines years ago was disassembly and forensics. Good job Steve.
It is the little things that can save future problems.
Forensics actually requires a proper set of principles, reason, logic, reasoning and does not apply to machines which have definite, define,d known, established principles, which have physics, chemistry, materials, principles, advanced mathematics, structures, statics, dynamics which are all determinate; not guesswork, hunches, guesess, estimation, 'guestimation', trial&error', similar -> except for those lacking with, within proper principles, knowledge, science, physics, methods.
Perhaps You enjoy investigation, assessment, evaluation, troubleshooting, problem solving and similar ? All The Best , Sincerely
@newtonfirefly3584 "The term forensic refers to the application of scientific knowledge to problems, especially scientific analysis of physical evidence"
Seems like it fits to me. Forensic engineering is a distinct field. Perhaps you just like putting people down in comments in RUclips
@@newtonfirefly3584nope. Wrong. Try again.
@@chiggsmcfallen2711 Chiggs McFallen which dictionary are You basing Your claims upon ??
Obviously you also lack the proper concept about, with, within engineering which only uses science, physics, chemistry, materials. Thus even with YOur distorted view of forensics, to contrive "forensic engineering" is similar to, with, "Dept. of Redundancy Dept."
Actual definitions of forensics is the use of science within solving crimes, thus specific legal use.
Good Luck -> Bye Bye
Woo Steve!!! Having an adapter come apart on the dyno is some dangerous stuff! I've have instances where it wasn't torque'd enough but always caught it early enough to shut down safely. To be fair, I never used an adapter that small before, always some hulking billet piece with no account for lightening.
I love the details shared in trying to diagnose this issue. For what these motors cost... you can't rationally just "send it" with 9 psi oil pressure!
bailey might have,,,,lol
@@tomstiel7576 i did say "rationally " 😉
