all the voodoo of taking parts to the machine shop is slowly being revealed on this channel and i absolutely love it!!!!! nice job Mr. Brand!
Take the engine voodoo to the doctor. Dr. Brand will put some good juju in your engine.
Same.
Now if Bill would become a fuel tech expert that would be letting all the secrets out
Does the rod ratio have any effect on the % you use? We are running really high ratios 2.0 and 1.96
You should have been a teacher, Sir. I've had many rotating assemblies balanced during my 70 years, but I never knew just how entailed the service actually was. Thanks for the lesson! I have a new respect for the guys at the Speed Shops.
I was the teacher assistant in vo-tech to the night class when i was in high school
I know right
He lost me there for a minute, but when he got to frequency in relation to RPM I started to understand again. That's pretty cool.
Thanks for the info Gerald. You've gotten so much better in such a short amount of time of filming/taking and explaining. Not that you were bad at all. Just meant your doing great. Have a blessed day brother.
Thank you. That explains a lot. It's no wonder Chief goes to you.
Man you went from crank balancing straight into suspension tuning …. We know where Chief learns all his secrets now 😂 Great video !
Thanks for putting in the effort Gerald! We all appreciate it
Never would have thought I would have figured out how instant center worked while watching a crank shaft getting balanced . You are the man Mr. Brand keep the content coming we're here for it 👏
Nice work Sir ... looking forward to more G.B. goodness!
God Bless!
😎
Nice Going Rhett !
thank you d scaglione!
Nice informative video, added bonus with the nascar stuff with reising the rpm to get out of the bad frequense area 😊👍
Thanks for showing us this and explaining it to us gerald
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. If you don’t share the knowledge that you have and pass it on and we don’t have anybody to go to to do this anymore the younger generations aren’t anything like this it’s nice to have somebody that you can ask questions and get good answers, and keep up the good work your videos are great
I have always been fascinated by the great work you do. I could sit and watch and listen to you for hours. Thanks for all you have done for us dirt racers over the years.
Thanks Gerald for the ways of balancing a crankshaft. I or I'm guessing all of us appreciate all of the information that you are giving us! Peace
Stumbled on your channel this morning from another channel that I try to learn from but he's too hard to follow.. watching yours I understood every concept immediately! Thank you for the knowledge and keep it up, I hope you get more recognition you deserve it.
The knowledge and experience are priceless!
Just don't stand in front of it lol
Everything in your shop is very cool thanks for sharing 👍
Excellent info sir, thanks for taking the time to walk us through what it involves in balancing the crank.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your channel has become my favorite.
I love listening to ppl talk about this type of technology and the experiences that they have used in. Thank You Sir, your videos are always very informative.
Great Job!! A lot more goes into it than I would have thought.
Best explanation of harmonic resonances I have ever heard!!! 4 years of Mechanical Engineering no professor every explained it better than you just did...🤯🤯🤯 Love these technical video's keep up the great work!
Awesome. You sir are very detailed oriented with your work. TY for sharing!
keep doing what you do best the rest will come naturally as time goes on loving the content love from the uk
Thank you Mr Brand for another informative video. I had no clue that the Buick v6 crank was so different.
I believe it's safe to say I will NEVER balance a crankshaft. BUT, I still studied today's lesson and I feel my brain 🤯Lol... Great video Mr Brand!
So, I guess when you go 51% or more, that is what's called an overbalance. I always wondered what that meant. Thanks, I learned something new.
great job have had a lot of engines done but knew about the bob weights but never knew how they arrived at the correct weight. i knew they weighed the pistons, pins, both ends of the rod. thanks for going to the trouble to explain
Thank you. I’ve had it explained to me a couple times and left understanding it less each time. But I’ll be damned I understand it now ( at least for the most part) wow you have a special way of teaching for sure. Thanks again
Love learning this stuff. My dad worked 37 years as a manual machinist at Cincinnati Milicron. It all seemed like wizardry when I was younger 😂
Thanks for the sharing the balance percentages and the balance info. The secondary which occurs at double the frequency are specifically referred to as a harmonic. 1st can be 50, 2nd 100, 3rd 200, 4th 400 and so on. Im enjoyin your content and look forward to the next.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about engine building and machine work, lots of tips and tricks people pick up over the years.
Great job Mr brand you remind me of my uncle back in the early 90s teaching me performance machining in his automotive machine shop I worked for him many years honing the skill you are going to go places on here keep up what your doing
I would like to take the time to congratulate you on doing an amazing job.
Without people like you and your knowledge, experience and passion a lot of folk would struggle to at least have the option to save a motor.
Its a dying art and i really hope the baton can be passed to someone.
This insight into what happens to a motor is priceless imo
Your ability to explain it in a way not to confuse folk second to none.
Keep the vids coming
I hope Justin and Jackie had some influence on getting you to make these videos
Nice job Gerald 👍
Thank you for taking the time to teach even old guys like me. I’m working with a local machine shop on a junked Vortec 383 deal, so this is perfect.
Good job! Talking to a camera when no one is on the other side is awkward. It gets easier the more you do it.
I worked on rotational equipment in the HVAC field. Mostly fan supply units and studied vibration and frequency. Had a cheap vibration meter but when used with some knowledge and experience I could find worn bearings ,pulleys and cracks in motor plates. some big equipment has vibration monitors permatley on them.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this Gerald.
The high vibration frequency you're talking about is called a resonant frequency or a critical frequency. Everything has a resonant frequency. Changing Mass or Stiffness will change the resonant frequency. Excellent Video. Keep up the good work.
I think what a lot of people could relate to is a tire/wheel slightly out of balance, when you hit that certain speed or in this case frequency it balances out and it’s smooth sailing.
@@stevenbelue5496 Oil school bubble balanced tires LOL
Please document an entire balancing process!!!
I learned this in the early 2000s, and would love a refresher course from an experienced professional.
I machined a 383, out of a stock 5.7 using Eagle's "balanced rotating assembly" (boy, were they off), and switching from internally balanced, to external was a pain. (Needed mallory)
Anyways, looking forward to the growth of this Channel. 👍🏻
thank you for sharing that with us Gerald
This was awesome... THANK YOU! I am not mechanically inclined by any stretch of the imagination. I am a retired paramedic, and what you described with crankshaft, harmonics, vibrations etc, very much reminds me of some of the finer intricacies of how the cardio vascular system functions in relation to the central nervous system and how they affect the other systems of the body. I know I know completely different worlds, but I found some of the similarities interesting. You rock Gerald.🙏💜
I am a prior F-15 Crew chief, who now does tech. Understanding hydraulics helps a lot in understanding the mechanical fluid dynamics of the cardiovascular system. It's basically a closed loop hydraulic system.
Oddly enough one of the most curious things about the world is that everything has a frequency. The human body has a frequency of 7 Hz if I remember correctly. Every element has its own frequency. Every atom is vibrating at a certain frequency. It's strange how it works, and only Mr Tesla truly understood it well enough to put it to use.
Thanks for taking the time to show and teach!
Excellent video Gerald. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the videos with this kinda info and keep them coming!
I wish we had access to more craftsman like you. It was cool to look over your shoulder as you did your thing!😁
Thanks for sharing! I look forward to the next video
That was great information! Keep the videos coming I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!
Fantastic information. Excellent video thank you. Looking forward to more.
Thanks! Great video Gerald, and welcome to RUclips.
Great video. I didn’t know how much went into balancing a crank.
Awesome video, Gerald. Full of great information. 👍
Thanks for all the info Gerald, keep it up.
Awesome! Being able to see the process and the theory makes it all easier to digest and understand. Thank you so much. You really are a good teacher and I am sure this video business will get easier for you quickly.
Thank you for your patience telling us the best way to go about this!!
Mr Brand reminds me of the teacher in school that no matter what he was teaching he made it interesting. I found this vlog very interesting Mr. Brand. Keep them coming
Thank you for posting the video. I love watching this kind of technical video even if I don't understand full of it.
But I promise you I try my best to understand ! 🙏
I found this to be very fascinating. That's the first time it's been explain like that to me. Appreciate it. Thank you.
Awesome video another good channel shout out to chief for sending me here
Thank you very much, you explained it very well. You are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the gr8 work 👍.....🇦🇺
Big chief sent me.. subscribed! 👍
I used Gerald for my engine work back at when I raced. He for sure knows what he’s doing. Never had an engine failure related to his work.
Keep up the videos, I learned so much thank you for taking the time to explain about vibration and balancing. .
Awesome! Thank you. Very educational!
Gerald thank u filling in the spaces to my knowledge bank and enough info not to be boring but enough to keep me watching good balance of vid and knowledge keep it up 👍
Really informative and educational Mr. Brand.
Love your video Sir , balancing is so important in high rpms !
Thank you so much for starting your channel.
Absolutely love the content....keep em coming
Brilliant job of explaining it, sir respect from the UK
...great video ! Love the tech explanation !...
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for Sharing Your Knowledge , this is the difference in making an engine live and throwing one together and wasting your money
I ever seen this done but I have paid to have it done in my old racing days . Very cool. Thank you
Great video. Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks for your time and knowledge sharing
Hmm.. There certainly is more than one way to skin a cat. Good video! Straight to the point and the explanation was solid. Definitely liking the style.
Great explanation of frequency in a motor. Love the content Sir.
Good stuff. Thanks
Another video! Nice!
Another great video!
Again thanks for the insight! Keep up the great work
Awesome job SIR...
Very interesting ! Thank you for sharing 😀
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the detail.
Thanks for the video good job explaining things
Makes sense thankyou for the break down.ive seen Steve Morris's video on it he showed the how and you answered the why for me thanks again
Absolutely loving the channel!!!
I don't remember the exact story but I think Mario Andretti or someone in a penske car anyway was dominating the indy 500 and slowed to conserve the car, and dropped it out of its balanced operating zone and blew up after a few laps....
Great job on balancing the crankshaft.
Great information Mr it was great ,very understandable
Your killing it, keep up the great work!
Super interesting stuff. Love it!
Interesting. So far I have enjoyed your channel.
Very cool that explained a lot. Know I gotta know more 🤦
Awesome 😎 Thanks Appreciate the video.
You are awesome sir.old school rules!
Love you channel Gerald. I used to build race engines in the 70’s and 80’s , wish I knew then what we know now.
Thanks
Cool video!!! I have done some balancing,we where less than 10 milligrams and rpm’s up 30,000.
Thanks for sharing!!!😎
Thanks Gerald for allowing us into ur world ur amazing
