His willingness to share with us the knowledge that has taken years for him to gain is uncanny. Historically speaking engine builders (and transmission or chassis guys or whatever) kept so much information top secret to keep their edge. Literal armed guards and security dogs in the pro stock world. There are upsides and downsides to that security and containment of knowledge. I think what Steve understands is that the more he shares the more he learns. More feedback, more ideas from more brains and more trial and error. Like my dad he's the kind of guy who takes delight in learning even simple stuff from any source he can get and is willing to share it with the next guy because of it. It's all about being reciprocal.
Amazing how Steve just gives this kind of knowledge away on You Tube. Back in the day if you wanted to learn this kind of stuff you'd have to get a job with a Pro Mod team, and most likely that team would be in So-Cal or Indiana so you'd have to move to move there if you didn't live in those areas to have said job.
I love how Steeve always shows the truth ! And it’s always realistic we’re not every engine is a romance story like all the other engine builders seem to show . Steve is just a wealth of knowledge.
Absolutely love these videos steve. All the machining and the whole process and how its done is incredible. So much knowledge and talent. I very much do appreciate all your videos, especially these type.
The amount of equipment in that building is insane. I wonder how many millions are invested in all of those machines. Pretty cool to see them in action and that they are so precise down to the thousandths of an inch. Neat.
Thank you again very much for being a straight shooter. You don't withhold very much or if anything at all. You dumb it down so dyslexic people like me can understand the process is you go through every single time. I would like to say thank you again to you and your crew and another great video. I pray and wish for blessings and successful days for you your family and your work family have a great weekend weekend coming up. 👊💯💯👍😊😊😎
Your “beating it” between welding is called Peening. Hence “ball peen” hammers got their name. It’s work hardening to induce surface stress and prevents cracks to form on surfaces. I’m sure you know that already but is actually what I do as a job in aviation manufacturing. It extends life cycles on parts by this method.
Shouldn’t have any problems with that sucker now! Basically fixed all it’s issues… She’s ready to make some power now! Looked like some DelWest retainers on there… good stuff those guys… Need to make sure he sends you Dyno footage… 👍🤘👏
Hey Steve,, you said you dont make it look perfect after drilling for water holes... Try this if you havent tried before. On cast aluminum, after welding and grinding flush.. get some 40, 60, 80 sand paper pretty much what ever grit works for you. and Peen it with a ball peen hammer... it gets pretty close to perfect lol.
This is My absolute dream. Customize a v10 block and set it up as a midengine set up. They need to do to the Viper what they did to the corvette. Or rather. I should
Hey u should make a smx 4 banger for the honda guys make a shit ton of money billet k24 Block or your custom smx billet Steve Morrison blocks think about that Steve big money half the amount of billet ya good idea.if u read this just idea could work out for u atleast try it u will be surprised
I was just waiting for a chunk to bust off that head while hammering. I know it’s necessary to do it right, I do it all the time myself. However, that still runs through my mind every time. Welding cast (well any aluminum really) aluminum is not an easy thing to do well. It’s taken many years of trial and error and the drive to always try to improve no matter how amazing we might think we are. Nice work! As a welder, machinist and engine builder....none as my career, I really enjoyed this one.
have you ever heard of a = Spark Eroder = removing broken tool steel taps and other hardened pins = engineering shop i worked in = it was always in use ? good luck and thanks = power to the crank - pass it on .
its really cool to be able to see down inside this engine. very interesting perspective, one rarely gets to take a look at. knowing the power potential of these engines i would have never guessed thats what is inside there. example, the giant single water jacket. or that only half of the sleeve is supported in the block. strangely interesting to get the engineers perspective when it was designed
They didn't have a huge amount of money available for development for the Viper so my guess is they they worked out this method was the best cost/durability option for what they needed, which was well under 100hp/L even in its most highly tuned form.
I see you are using roller cam bearings in this v10. What are your feelings on those overall? It used to be considered the way to go, but these days especially in street use vehicles it seems more recommend sticking with the old Babbitt bearing.
Hello phillptobin, Steve installed the roller cam bearings at the customers' request, Everyone has their own opinions about roller cam bearings. I feel they are an accident waiting to happen & not worth the risk for the indiscernible benefits they "supposedly" provide. They are banned in aviation engines...for good reason. 🙂 I feel the same about needle-bearing rollers on roller rockers. A bushing is the ONLY smart choice. Regardless of the intended use of an engine, the Babbitt (sleeve) bearing is the ONLY way to go. Best regards, Ben
Bubble level shows levelness to the earth. Indicator shows levelness to the machine weighs. When they set up your machine I’m sure they leveled it but they always settle over time. Always use an indicator
Its all about the attention to *necessary* details. So many people focus on the aesthetic of a build or repair that they normally fall short of focusing on the function of it. You explaining what IS important, vs what is NOT important shows you're not trying to impress us with "flash", but focused on the only thing that is important, the results.
I have spent most of my adult life machining engines, man what I would give to work on the equipment Steve has in his shop. What I would give to work in Steve's shop! His work ethic and attention to detail is just incredible. Love watching all the shop ops stuff!
These are such great videos the machine work and teaching us how and why you do these to make everything work together is pretty cool thanks Steve and your team
Amazing Steve……doing what no one else does……all in the name of making more horsepower……always watch each video with anticipation and watch again not wanting to miss anything and sometimes even watch a third time……your perseverance and dedication to more horsepower is awe inspiring….. keep up the good informative videos…….kudos…….👍🏁🇺🇸👍🏁🇺🇸👍🏁🇺🇸👍🏁🇺🇸
That was one of the best videos I have seen. Excellent work as always Steve, it's Great to see the Man doing his own work to make sure its the best product it can be.
5356 will be fine. From a welding perspective, 4047 is best for castings, but 4043 or 4943 works too. Love seeing all the steps, tons of work trying to fix and improve these things. Sharing knowledge and experience with us all. 👍🏼
Alloy 5356 has become the most commonly used of all aluminum filler alloys because of its good strength and its good feed-ability when used as a MIG electrode wire. It is designed to weld 5xxx series structural alloys and 6xxx series extrusions, basically anything other than castings, because castings are high in silicon. Its one limitation is that 5356 is not suitable for service temperatures exceeding 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius).
951?... That's only one area code away from me here in SoCal. Never heard of that shop though. Great video. You gonna do death week and head this way in a month or so?
You may want to look into marine outboard engine design and performance where the engines are mounted vertically. I think that F1, IndyCar, and motorcycle(?) engines also employ more roller/ball bearings.
Forcing air/ fuel, doesn’t need smooth surfaces!!!! Bigger, stronger, ports , not smoother. Is definitely better!!! N/A completely the opposite!! Boost for the win!!!
How the heck did you degree that camshaft?! I'm having a heck of a time trying to line up the crower cam going in mine. it was 6 degrees off and No adjustable cam gears available anywhere. Had to grind out the bolt holes to set it up right
What are you welding the block with? I find that the aluminum machined super gummy after filling in stuff on blocks. I usually use 4340 though. Is it 5356?
That V10 was a kick in the nuts to the sports car industry. Took a 1960's pushrod 340, added 2 cylinders, and then proceeded to dominate everything at the Nurburgring for years.
That is a very good material , thank you for sharing ! I'm surprised that there's no girdle and no pistons cooling oil jets, I'm confused, why ?? My 2000hp viper has those but it's made for road course to be beaten all day long maybe that's why isn't it ? I also guess the gen5 manifolds pop on high boost ?
Okay, as a machinist that originally started off with all manual machines and now I run a mix of CNC. I run a doosan 4500 and a few different hossas. But I still use the manual machines for one off parts or specialty things. That just doesn't make sense to write an entire program for and usually I can complete quicker than they can even write the program. So having manual machines around maybe antiquated for some they're a valid machine in any shop even today. The hard thing is finding people that are good at them because kids just are not being taught manual machines anymore
Steve your an absolute legend, I study everything post your literally my idol, in my opinion the best in the world in this game a true pioneer thank u so much for sharing the knowledge
Steve, listening to you talk is listening to people explain how gravity affects the planetary orbits and rotations, why the moon is stationary, how the unverse revolves the galaxy, how black holes swallow light and how look 1000 light years through a telescope is actually looking back in time by 10k years!!!! Lol!!! Hawking hasn't got shit on Morris!!!
Did it blow from head to gasgit level,not gasgit to block?,if had a receiving groove in head it still would've blown?, just curious?, sorry if silly question
As someone who was born in Michigan, I can tell someone has planted a seed in Steve's head that he mispronounces "Water". It is obvious to me the few times in the video, he tries hard to get that T in there, but quickly abandons it and reverts to his natural Michigan born language skills. It just doesn't sound right coming from Steve, say it like you learned it, wader wader wader. 😆
When I worked on Indy cars we were forbidden to weld A/N fittings,one because it severely softens the material,,,and two a bang on the sealing surface and your done,,,we always welded a pipe bushing and then screwed in appropriate fitting,,,,, simple fix for the damaged fitting at the track

There you go again, taking things up to the next level. Amazing work your doing. Engaging minds to see things from a different perspective.
Nice tip “ forging the welds” or tapping the welding as we go. Going to use that going forward 🤙
I'm a Mopar guy and I loved seeing you doing a Mopar this time is awesome and great to watch. I'm learning more and more every episode every time!!!
Man I love this channel! There’s no other place on YT that will show this kinda detail.
Steve, the hero we didn't know we needed. But the hero we deserved.
Can't wait to see the SML videos... awesome work Steve. Looks like a lot of labor on the viper engine
We all are praying for to recover from his viper snake bite. Help out and buy a t-shirt- I did.😁
It will never matter in my life of hotrods, but I love your attention to detail and teaching. Thank you!!
Shouldn’t have any problems with that sucker now! Basically fixed all it’s issues… She’s ready to make some power now!

So cool watching the time lapse of the engine assembly. I think its Ben. He did a nice job on that monster.
2:15 Seems they got it all backwards.
Should have had a steel O-ring and a copper gasket.

the jaguar V12 is the same, the wet sleeve design is common to a bunch of euro engines and has it's origins in WW2 aircraft engines.
They didn't have a huge amount of money available for development for the Viper so my guess is they they worked out this method was the best cost/durability option for what they needed, which was well under 100hp/L even in its most highly tuned form.
What filler rod do you use for welding blocks and heads? I know some use 4043 but I’ve heard that 4047 is much better.
He said he used 5356 on the head in the video.

Regardless of the intended use of an engine, the Babbitt (sleeve) bearing is the ONLY way to go.

I answer this in next vids.
A babbit cam bearing can’t fail if it has proper oil.
Roller bearings I have not seen but it could fail.
The dry deck idea is very cool. Can you show how that’s designed to be sure there aren’t any trapped air pockets?
Yes, I was going to ask a similar question. There will surely be air pockets in the block as the tapping is on the low side of the vee.
I didnt know Steve could weld, i always thought he was just there to stand and look pretty.
Need a shirt that says “who do you call to complain to? Nobody I just fix it!

kevin from ksr does the same thing. hammering the weld while making a repair.
It was at 34 minutes it finally clicked why SM is doing all this work. He’s a smart cat

5356 will be fine. From a welding perspective, 4047 is best for castings, but 4043 or 4943 works too.

What are you welding the block with? I find that the aluminum machined super gummy after filling in stuff on blocks. I usually use 4340 though. Is it 5356?
That V10 was a kick in the nuts to the sports car industry. Took a 1960's pushrod 340, added 2 cylinders, and then proceeded to dominate everything at the Nurburgring for years.
A pneumatic needle scaler also works well for peening between passes.

Does the owner of this engine have a RUclips channel?
Nope but prob should maybe one day
Zoom out to the machine array- instant thumbs up. World class work. Incredible honor to see inside the operation
Thx Steve, learning again. When I weld cast metals I peen the welds to relieve stress since welding shrinks the metal a little, reduces cracking.
Hell yeah I was hoping you'd put a video out on Bens new engine, can't wait to see his car back in action and see it all done!
