I have been a car guy for 40 years, I learn more from these video's than any source in my life on engines. Thanks for the education and the time spent explaining the details.
Can recommend a channel called 'Driving 4 answers' apart from Steve's channel, he puts out the most interesting and technical engine videos on RUclips.
Between EJ's enthusiasm to learn anything or everything, Steve trying to remember dinosaur information, and finally, something I can understand everything I see for once, I so enjoyed this video, even at 42 minutes long
****STEVE**** I personally believe Dewey deserves a raise for being such a good boy! i dont know what he is earning as of now but the Dewster deserves more for being a loyal hard worker :D
So, the sign of someone who truly wants to learn is someone that acts on information they have been given. Kudos to EJ for holding the linkage while Steve but the bowl on.. without asking. ;-)
It was so awesome watching you explain how the A/F Ratio works on the old-school 4BBL 750 dbl pumper carbs. EJ seems really eager to learn and not afraid to try to do something new to her. That right there is exactly, why you should keep teaching her as much as you can, whenever she is around! The information explained so well is hard to come by. Excellent job Steve and EJ!
Remember one thing Steve has said many times. You get back as you give, and when you know this, you also have an obligation to pass it on. He's a great engine builder and a fun likeable guy to watch, but what I like the most about watching Steve, is how he acts according to his principles. Many talk a big game of principles and ideals, few honour and live by them.
One absolute reason I like Steve Morris/Dewey's shop is he's with the engine throughout the build! Dewey is watching make sure he doesn't miss A thing. When I when I win the lottery I will send$$''''''' with him! Thanks again for your help! Dewey
What a sweet human being - she gives me hope for that generation. Never stop learning EJ!!! Steve you are a born teacher. One of the best channels on RUclips!
Mr. Morris, I have single handed learned more from your vids than any other channel for tuning and performance subjects. This has also carried over into other areas of my life as well. I also am a follower of Christ and it makes a strong statement in your business model too. Thanks for your faith in our Lord.
@Ammoniummetavanadate She's the one that did all the wraps for Tom Bailey and crew. She was behind the scenes mostly, but she has turned out to be very good at driving and is a fast learner. She is going to make it far, and people like working with her/teaching her. It's just exciting to see a young person start from the beginning and learn. We're going to hopefully see big things from her in the future
Steve, You are such an excellent Dude! It is very generous of you to teach this young person (and some not so young people) hands on how a Holley should work, and then to set the timing, and then to operate a dyno control board. This is how you raise up excellent adults. Your style and patience should serve as a model for the rest of us. Thank you, Sir.
Ok by looking at the bore size it's at least a four hundred ci combined with smallish cam high tq numbers , tight 106 lobe sep cam isky known for that more power and torq that way , super nice motor , super good Dyno job
From drooling over the SMX..... To installing the Isky roller cam, carb jetting and running the Dyno.... Educational, Science and GOOD FUN. Steve Morris has it all (& Dewie) 😁👍🍻
would love to see you get ahold of one of these high dollar 410 sprint car engines with all pro heads. Maybe you can explain some neat simple stuff for us. probably never happen but maybe!
Excellent video, Steve looks good working on the old school SBC. And EJ, well she always looks good. I'm glad she got a little more knowledge on how the simple stuff works, the basics.
Steve, thanks for the continuing education! I would like an episode regarding the relationship between Main Journal size, RPM, crankshaft oil passage routing, and oil pressure required to keep the rods journals oiled. For example I calculate that with the 3.25" cross drilled Mains in my Pontiac it would need 108 psi to keep the rods oiled at 8500 rpm. Thanks again!
Great old school episode, very real world for a great deal of us, and fantastic way for EJ to learn, from a true pro. 👍🏼 Thanks Steve! And DIG the Dewey shirt!! 😂
the spark plug and timing info was great....I learned something today....seen videos about reading plugs but it never made sense til you explained it....great videos....love the boosted videos but I have several old small blocks
Very good video! My wife’s c3 corvette, her dream car, when I got it finished. I had to teach her about how the carburetor works, even the electric choke, was new to her.
Every workshop needs an EJ . Learning old school stuff is the way to go, how to adjust timing and how carbs work. Who thinks Kyle and EJ would make a nice couple . lol
This is great seeing young girls coming in getting the ropes from a pro and really enjoy advancing their mind in this field especially old school stuff. Also learning the critical thinking process. She was getting pretty comfortable towards the end keep up the good work Steve. Really good horsepower out of that motor.
Thanks for showing how engines are connected to the dyno. Seeing that splined shaft connect to the clutch/flywheel made it make all the sense in the world. Your videos are awesome.
Steve you are the consummate teacher, it’s great to see you showing the next generation the ropes. EJ way to keep your cool, first time jitters didn’t seem too bad. Great episode.
Kudos 👏 to you Steve it's obvious that you love to teach , the way you took the time to explain what each part does to Ej is immensely important in her education you have to crawl before you can walk . Ej is eager to learn and with you teaching her tuning fundimentals and bailey teaching her to drive she will be successful.
It's like trying to suck a liquid through a straw that is cracked or or has a hole/access to air in it, the bigger the hole the harder to suck the liquid/less you get. The straw is the jet pulling from the bowl. The Air Bleed is the Crack or Hole/Access To Air before the Boosters/Mouth. Very easy physics experiment. Just how I see it in my simple mind. Very precise control if you have the right Hardware & understanding of it
A far cry different than how I learned from my old man. Hell, I couldn't even hold the flashlight right. But, I got all the lessons eventually. Really wish we had video back then. Lost of lost knowledge and memories. I miss you, Daddy.
I do wish you went with "let the big dog eat" for a tagline but I ordered my Dewey shirt regardless! Props to Steve for being such a great teacher and to EJ for being a good student.
I stumped a tuner awhile back. My Mast Motorsports SS-LS7 was making 685hp on an engine dyno. I took out the SS cam and put in a Z06 cam and had the tuner de-tune the engine to 600hp. He was stumped because most people ask for more HP, not less. But I couldn't drive the car with the SS cam, it was too aggressive (race profile - wouldn't idle worth shit, and wouldn't make power until 2500rpm, great for pulling the front wheels off the ground - terrible for parades)
I'm just Fascinated By your Awesome Knowledge and Explanation / Teaching for EJ and all of us watching your Video. EJ, Thank you for sharing your experience with us it was Kool And best of Luck at the Track...
Accelerator pump "check valve" "(Somebody had to...) Cool vid, food for thought for this old timer. And I appreciate that you took advantage of the chance to incorporate EJ.
That has to be one of the nicest non-patronizing teaching exercises I’ve ever watched. Fantastic! That’s the way my grandfather taught. Really enjoyed it!
Love the fact you taught the young girl!! Oh and let her go hands on to ensure she understood the teaching!! I like her! She is chill!! Your engines from what I can see are on top!! I can see the fire in your soul!!
THE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY MOTOR IS THE ENTRY-LEVEL MOTOR FOR HOT RODDING. IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR FIFTY YEARS. THE AFTERMARKET STILL LOVES IT!!!! AND I LOVE IT AS WELL. IT IS A GREAT MOTOR FOR YOUR DAILY DRIVER.
EJ picked up on running the dyno quickly. Good to see her hands on. She does not seem nervous running it. Even after hundreds of runs on my Dyno I get jittery. Then again it comes out of my wallet if I screw up😁 Fun video to watch. Having Dewey in the middle of everything makes me miss my shop dog, he is a good one.
Now that was a learning experience. I did a lot of those tricks on my Holley's; I just didn't know what they were called. Thanks for taking me back to the good old days Steve.
ISKY till i die. When I decided to build the box I was struggling with what cam to use and well at the time where I could get a cam. I called ISKY and they were like lets do something custom and I can have it to you in a few weeks. No lie 4 weeks later I had my custom ground cam. I'm still in the build process but can't wait till i hear her. Full roller set up. I love learning from your vids and just watching what you bring us. I appreciate that you keep it simple for us and do your best to explain the really complex stuff. God Bless you brother and stay safe out there.
And this is how the next generation should learn engine stuff: down to the basics. No EFI, no computers, just mechanical stuff. AFR, timing, reading sparkplugs. And a master engine builder who can explain all this stuff... 😁😎🤟
550 to 600 horse 350 is pretty common these days? At under 6 grand much less! I just started watching your videos and you've got a nice clean shop and a nice personality. Good to see you giving a young lady some genuine hands on tutorials. She seemed very calm and having a calm teacher always helps the student IMO.
Would love to see some more carburetor content Steve! Most of my building experience is hot street/strip engines. So im not big into injection nor do i really need it for my application. It's refreshing to see someone not afraid of a carburetor!
That will make that car run alot better, great car for anyone to learn in, and know she knows alot more on how that engine works, that will also be a great help, read your plugs, it tells it all!
I swapped a Hydraulic Roller for a Flat Tappet in a Gen 1 SBC and called Howards Cams to tell them my pushrods were now way too long. They said a 7.150 should work, but I should use the adjustible measuring tool to make sure. I measured the correct lenght and it was... 7.150.
I’m a pipe welder get you a pair of those green sleeves you can put them on take ‘em off anytime you get around those hot headers. Or anything you may get burn on.
I have been a car guy for 40 years, I learn more from these video's than any source in my life on engines. Thanks for the education and the time spent explaining the details.
Shirts are pretty cool too
I remember my first time on RUclips
You didn’t learn much in 40 years 😱
@@AndyL940 Right, because everyone knows how to design and manufacture their own engines in their garages by now /s
Can recommend a channel called 'Driving 4 answers' apart from Steve's channel, he puts out the most interesting and technical engine videos on RUclips.
Kuddo's to you Steve for allowing EJ to further her knowledge base. EJ keep on learning all you can.
Steve, hear me out. The Dewey shirt needs to have "shop supervisor" on it! My wife and I yell that out every time Dewey makes a cameo.
Every Steve Morris video I’m like dang I want to work there!
I would sweep the floor for free!

****STEVE**** I personally believe Dewey deserves a raise for being such a good boy! i dont know what he is earning as of now but the Dewster deserves more for being a loyal hard worker :D
He brought him back a taco. Thats definitely a bonus.
Dewey should get paid seven times more per hour. Jaha
Dewey needs to be painted on the passenger window of the Wagon when it's making passes!
👍👍
@@theoldbigmoose he is putting the new sticker but as a see through livery on the window
EJ is surrounded by professionals. She is going to learn very fast.
Ej definitely has the infinite “chill mode” we all strive for…like -no stress, just have fun and chill
Infinite? I think the word we are looking for is "perpetual" chill mode😁
E.J. gonna go back and rub it in that she got to run the Dyno! 😁👍
Yep, love it.
Yes, that’ll be in Tom’s next video
Tom should loan you EJ for Dyno Mondays with EJ and Steve!!
She is a natural on camera!
😂😂😂 Absolutely!
So, the sign of someone who truly wants to learn is someone that acts on information they have been given. Kudos to EJ for holding the linkage while Steve but the bowl on.. without asking. ;-)

Thanks for carburetor tutorial. Never hurts to review basics. Always educational. Thanks Steve
Just love that you make helping folks a priority. Supper happy to see you help EJ.
I try😁
Says a lot about your character, given how valuable your time is, that you spent all that time teaching EJ. Well done!

Absolutely awesome to see Ej learning something from you she definitely seems to have that willingness to do better
Great watching someone teaching something they love to someone so wanting to learn.

One of the best channels on RUclips!
"Do you let Tom run the Dyno"😂❤😅 priceless 👌🏻🤘🏻 also shout out to the old-school SBC putting a number down 👏
If Tom wants to run the Dyno, tell him to grow some boobs! Lol
Tom isn't Kate Upton sexy like EJ.
😂
After the carb class that i just went through at MMI i like the way you explain carbs better!
Mr. Morris, I have single handed learned more from your vids than any other channel for tuning and performance subjects. This has also carried over into other areas of my life as well. I also am a follower of Christ and it makes a strong statement in your business model too. Thanks for your faith in our Lord.
Great to see you guys teaching E.J. this stuff.

Is there some backstory on EJ, I saw her with Sam and everyone seems to just know who she is, lol.
