📢 TALK About JOB SECURITY..... & 2 of 🇺🇲 Most LeadFooT Drivers lol My Apologies i Meant to say highly Respectful young Gentlemen when behind the Wheel....😂
Let the adventure of drag week begin whatever happens it's never boring . Couldn't be a better group of people coming together for a wildnights road trip. Thank you teams Morris and Bailey for posting all the great videos on your RUclips channels.
In the TB vid, Ayden said something during post failure inspection about being able to feel a gap between the cap and rod but he had 2x checked torque before the engine was run. I'm voting for the cap not fully seating on the register as in rather than lightly tightening each rod bolt evenly to seat the cap, one bolt was run down with a zip gun and this jammed the register holding the cap up a bit. Once a bur was created, there was enough torque. After the motor ran a bit, the cap moved around, bolt on the jammed side backed out a bit and the other rod bolt bent.
Dang! How cool is this! Man, my 10 year old son and I feel like we are part of the race team! Thank you Steve and Tom for letting us come along for the ride. So important for the next generation to be apart of something real and cool!!! We love you guys so much!!! Thank you!!!
Tell him to grab a mop you’re way too nice of a guy brother Friends like you you just don’t have that many in your lifetime I really hope people appreciate that get that thing done get on down to the races man
Back in 1985 I crewed on a 220 + mph unlimited hydroplane. We BLEW the boat up 20 feet from the dock for initial testing. (Improper fuel cell cap and it leaked during the 10 mile transport to the Lake to test). We all voted to fix the new boat instead of using the old hull. By the time we finished, we were WAY behind! The drivers left at 4:00am on a Thursday morning for Miami from Seattle, normally a 72hr drive. They made it in 56hrs including a stop at the crew chiefs' relatives house to shxx/shower/shave. At many times the transporter, trailer and 9,000+ lb boat and 4 spare Rolls V12's never went under 100mph in TX/LA according to one of the drivers.😲. Great effort, Steve! Been there, done that.👍👍
Steve's composure while clearly frustrated with a situation is pure class act. If we all could keep ourselves together this way lol, business would be much more rewarding.
What a good man! I mean the level of commitment to your brand and your friends is incredible, I wish you nothing but 6's this week brother. God bless and hammer down!!!
Great job, Steve! I was really looking forward to following along this week with you and Tom but when I heard that engine knock after his last burnout on Friday night, I fugured it was over for drag week this year. But as usual, your pulled a miracle out of your hat! Awesome!
As a person that makes a technical product that sometimes fails I can sympathize with Steve. Any good manufacturer knows that the buck stops with YOU, and YOU are the one that must fix the problem. Knowing this can be a little scary, but satisfying when you finally fix the problem.
Steve Morris... can we all just have a moment to appreciate this man and is awesome aura, respect and gratitude for all things in life... an all round good human..❤
Awesome to see father and son team at it. Kyle enjoy this time with your dad as once they are gone your only left with memories made and unable to make new ones.
That’s a thrash!! Awesome!! I’m bummed the wagon isn’t going and Tom is taking 1.0 I was hoping to see some records broken by an SMX this year! Good luck guys
I just noticed that it was a Brodix block. I assumed it was an SMX just like 2.0 and thought swapping engines would have been the easier way to go. That’s a lot of work in a short amount of time. Steve Morris engines sure does have some great customer service.
There's 2 things that amaze me: One is that you can tear down and reassemble this engine with a crank grind in only about 12 hours. Two is that it almost never fails that Tom, once again, has waited to essentially the last minute to test and find a problem with the car and/or engine he will be taking to a race. Don't get me wrong, I love Tom and everyone at Sick Racing, but you'd think he would plan ahead better by now. ❤
You are one high energy man to see you racing around that motor disassembling and reassembling at that speed makes me tired. Great job Steve I just love your videos.
Amazing the complications a 10 year old rod bolt can make when it's s stretched beyond it's torque holding capacity. Great job Steve! a 30 hour turn around on a race engine... Fantastic!
It’s impressive that such old technology is still the go to for high performance reliability. Babbit bearings head studs and copper head gaskets. All things that were in model A engines in the 20s-30s.
my favorite series by far was when you were diagnosing Cleetus's motor. I watched every second of each video. This one (Im 1/4 through so far) looks to be along the same lines. Seeing how do detective work and figure out the impossible is great content imo.
5:33 That look 😂 Tom: "Alright, I'm out. I'm gonna let you do your thing." Can tell these two gentlemen know each other so well and have been working together for a long time. Lol
Yet another fine example of friendship and comradery shown right here. There's certainly other factors involved, but seeing everyone coming together to make it all happen is commendable in every way. Good luck guys!👍🏼💯🇬🇺
Sometimes the last minute hurdles pay off ! I had to get my dad's electric water pump going between every round. He won Super nostalgia that day . I've built a transmissions in a tent in the rain .to get him going again. 😂
You're the man Professor! Keep an eye on your health. There's no winner without your health. The most important health advice .... 8 hours sleep daily..Your time lapse music is awesome... tanks for your channel...
I know a little about motors and build but this is a whole other level. It’s a work of art. It would be a dream opportunity to learn engine build from the shop.
That's pretty amazing! Tom is very fortunate to have an amazing friend and engine builder willing to do the impossible at a moments notice. I really hope his car does well this week. 🤞
Respect to a professional Especially one that goes above and beyond like you do Steve Any pro race team would be honoured to have you in their camp....... I truly can only wish the best for you......
And to add to the above, i thinke Kyle has not fallen far from the tree A case of son following in the big footsteps of his father..... Will make any father proud Oh yes, and any son will say : THATS MY DAD....
I noticed when you were reassembling you forgot the 1/2 a tube of silicone on the intake? lol You’re the man Steve, hell of a friend…awesome to see Kyle there helping his pops out. Love the content as always 🤘🏼
Steve you are An amazing person, my grandfather that taught me everything I know about Diesel engines and Mechanics is exactly like you and exactly the same Mannerisms I loved watching this video you are so comical about how he wanted to just stand there like an idiot while he demanded you take his “your” engine apart for him because he got to excited and destroyed it when you could’ve walked and I know you love your craft so much you couldn’t walk away from that beautiful engine, I know you are such a busy person you will never see this but hell of a video start hahahaha and what a quick and efficient tear down and rebuild as always I’ve learned so many things from you man for real thank you for These videos
Hi guys, I just wanted to thank you, all the team for making thoses videos. Even when you obviously don't have time to do it, really appreciate it. Thank you from france :)
Tom: "It's Broke". Steve: "???" Tom: "Can you fix it"? I hope you guys can get this fixed, it's fun watching your videos during Drag Week. BTW, Thanks for doing the video, even though you were in a rush to get it done.
'Tis the life of a racer.. there's almost always something that doesn't go as planned. Sometimes it's really minor, but sometimes (like this), it can be really major. I hope all this last-minute effort pays off for you and Tom, so that you have a good week.
At least he stopped when he heard a noise. If it was a normal day, he would have just driven it back to the pits. Your look was the same one that we had when we watched the video.
Only badd ass engine builders have bad ass times!!! Good stuff guys 😂 this is why this channel kicks all the ass!! Cheers from Gowen MI Lincoln lake Steve!! The park says hello!! .020 is what your meaning I think...
Авто/Мото
EVERYONE needs at least one friend like Steve Morris!👍👍👍
Not many people are that lucky, unfortunately.
I'm always appreciative of my friends who help out in my last minute shit, couldn't imagine having someone like Steve Morris to be there.
be that friend!
Deep deep pockets will get you one
That’s something. He’s a true professional.
Vibe is he will never let somebody down.
And he is going to be in the car drive.
Dude didn’t sleep
What is amazing Steve was under the gun to get the engine done and still filmed excellent content. Dedication beyond compare.
Look at it this way, having both Tom and Cleetus as customers pretty much guarantees you'll always have content to post on the channel 😂😂😂
Ain’t that the truth
Guaranteed! Both of those men are incredible drivers but don’t hold back on the throttle at all.
📢 TALK About JOB SECURITY..... & 2 of 🇺🇲 Most LeadFooT Drivers lol My Apologies i Meant to say highly Respectful young Gentlemen when behind the Wheel....😂
Tom is trying to manufacture his own engine.
LOL! You got that right brother. 👍
Being an engine builder, racer, and friend is a tough job.
Long hours, for sure!
Especially when that “friend” is Tom Bailey 😂
That's got to be huge I wouldn't won't that stress nope !!
You’re and absolutely insane man Steve for doing this! Huge respect!!!
Let the adventure of drag week begin whatever happens it's never boring . Couldn't be a better group of people coming together for a wildnights road trip. Thank you teams Morris and Bailey for posting all the great videos on your RUclips channels.
That was an amazing Herculean effort! I’m very impressed! Good luck at drag week, you deserve it!
Just remember that there are some of us that would sell a kidney to do half the racing you do...love the channel steve
Steve=Loyalty and Relationship beyond "any type of friendship" YOU SIR ARE A MOTOR GOD Way beyond $$$!!!
Good luck guys. Steve is the man again. Nothing like having good friends to help when in need. You guys rock for sure an never quit. Be safe
You are one heck of a nice guy to drop everything and do that for him at the last minute great job as always 👍
I do it for most anybody
@@stevemorrisracingthat's why you have a great clientele because of that man you are treat me with respect and I will treat you with respect

After seeing Tom’s video I thought it’s going to be a crazy week for you two.

I feel like I’m in automotive college when I watch this channel, and I love every second. 🏁🇺🇸
This guy!! ❤❤ Fine display of true dedication to the race world!! Standing Ovation Steve Morris, and firm handshakes.
Steve's composure while clearly frustrated with a situation is pure class act. If we all could keep ourselves together this way lol, business would be much more rewarding.
😂 he gets paid to build engines, and usually charges more for rush jobs.
You never cease to amaze Steve, what a true friendship you and Tom have.
Good luck!

Memories of Last Years Departure with y’all in Workshop mode.
Legend to All needing ya & those witnessing the dedication you Offer to all….✨👍✨
Good job helping your dad out on a Saturday I'm sure you apricate the help Steve what a great son
04:32 ....Motor takes a wiz on Steve's Pristine shop floor !! ....Tom had Plenty time to warn Steve..... Steve's response priceless !!
Awesome to see father and son team at it. Kyle enjoy this time with your dad as once they are gone your only left with memories made and unable to make new ones.
The scramble button held down the whole build. Awesome. Good luck guys.
That’s a thrash!! Awesome!! I’m bummed the wagon isn’t going and Tom is taking 1.0 I was hoping to see some records broken by an SMX this year! Good luck guys
If I were Tom, next time I would let Steve check the engine after it had been sitting for a while. Tom, you have a true friend, be thankful!!
Not only is that time crunch crazy, but to also do it in front of the camera, impressive !
I just noticed that it was a Brodix block. I assumed it was an SMX just like 2.0 and thought swapping engines would have been the easier way to go. That’s a lot of work in a short amount of time. Steve Morris engines sure does have some great customer service.
Huge props to the man that fix the crank and for you fixing the motor for Tom so you can go with him on drag week

Two is that it almost never fails that Tom, once again, has waited to essentially the last minute to test and find a problem with the car and/or engine he will be taking to a race.

I hope y'all do good after all the problems
You are one high energy man to see you racing around that motor disassembling and reassembling at that speed makes me tired. Great job Steve I just love your videos.
Your crank guy really cranked it out. Back by 9:30am after straightening and grinding 20 on a Saturday morning. Wow.
Amazing Steve!!! you looked exhausted when Tom dropped that off. Glad Kyle could help on Saturday. Best of luck!
100% awesome father-son team probably one of the best and finest in the world for sure!!!
Steve is an amazing human being. He spends more time helping others then on his own projects.
Amazing the complications a 10 year old rod bolt can make when it's s stretched beyond it's torque holding capacity. Great job Steve! a 30 hour turn around on a race engine... Fantastic!

What a solid, stand up guy!
Completely deviate from your original plans to help a brother out. Talk about customer service, and a hell of a friend!
Everyone thinks that's time lapse but that's actually how fast Steve works real time when he's under the gun.
5:33 That look 😂
Tom: "Alright, I'm out. I'm gonna let you do your thing."
Can tell these two gentlemen know each other so well and have been working together for a long time. Lol
True friendship at play here! 😎
Steve that was incredible! The things you do for friends.
The look on Tom's face he's such a great guy doodoo occurs nice to have an engine builder like Steve 👍
Yet another fine example of friendship and comradery shown right here. There's certainly other factors involved, but seeing everyone coming together to make it all happen is commendable in every way. Good luck guys!👍🏼💯🇬🇺
Reminds me of tractor pulling. Always something to keep you from leaving on time.
You could see Steve’s annoyance when you dump water, on he’s super clean floor😂 great work to turn this fubar around…👍🇬🇧
Steve my prayers are with you, your tired before starting the race and drive.
We will all be following you !
Sometimes the last minute hurdles pay off ! I had to get my dad's electric water pump going between every round. He won Super nostalgia that day . I've built a transmissions in a tent in the rain .to get him going again. 😂
Nothing more fun than Pry Bar separating silicone Gooped O-ringed aluminum parts.....Bet Steve really Wanted to Drill that sucker !!
Thank you for taking the time to record this. We enjoy watching a craftsman work. Everyone of us is pulling for you guys this week.
You're the man Professor! Keep an eye on your health. There's no winner without your health. The most important health advice .... 8 hours sleep daily..Your time lapse music is awesome... tanks for your channel...
Great job turning the rebuild so quick! Incredible testimony on how well your engines are built. Good luck this week!
Steve you really step up when your customer needs you. Very impressive !
I know a little about motors and build but this is a whole other level. It’s a work of art. It would be a dream opportunity to learn engine build from the shop.
Steve Morris is a real engine builder that everyone should for to PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂 the water pouring out was funny as hell. It just kept going 😂
Amazing work, getting that build done so quickly! I wish you and Tom the very best of luck. It would be great to see this car finish drag week on top!
Never a dull moment with you two 🤣🤣
When you have a passion about what you doing , going that extra mile shows one true character.
That's pretty amazing! Tom is very fortunate to have an amazing friend and engine builder willing to do the impossible at a moments notice. I really hope his car does well this week. 🤞
You sir have the best "After Sales Service" I've ever seen.
Respect to a professional
Especially one that goes above and beyond like you do Steve
Any pro race team would be honoured to have you in their camp.......
I truly can only wish the best for you......
And to add to the above, i thinke Kyle has not fallen far from the tree
A case of son following in the big footsteps of his father.....
Will make any father proud
Oh yes, and any son will say : THATS MY DAD....
I noticed when you were reassembling you forgot the 1/2 a tube of silicone on the intake? lol You’re the man Steve, hell of a friend…awesome to see Kyle there helping his pops out. Love the content as always 🤘🏼
What amazing customer service you have. You definitely love your job. And it shows.
Thats pretty impressive to assemble one that quickly.
Steve you are An amazing person, my grandfather that taught me everything I know about Diesel engines and Mechanics is exactly like you and exactly the same Mannerisms I loved watching this video you are so comical about how he wanted to just stand there like an idiot while he demanded you take his “your” engine apart for him because he got to excited and destroyed it when you could’ve walked and I know you love your craft so much you couldn’t walk away from that beautiful engine, I know you are such a busy person you will never see this but hell of a video start hahahaha and what a quick and efficient tear down and rebuild as always I’ve learned so many things from you man for real thank you for These videos
That's dedication! Way to go, Steve and company!
And Steve.Always does more than needs to he done. A man of men. Awesome dude.
Should be Playing on the Radio, over and over, "That's What Friends Are For" by the Late Great Dionne Warwick .
Hi guys, I just wanted to thank you, all the team for making thoses videos. Even when you obviously don't have time to do it, really appreciate it. Thank you from france :)
You Guy's Got This, It Is What You Do. Watch Tom Bailey, End Up Winning Drag Week Now.
Not only a kickass engine builder, but quite a good friend as well. ❤
That was a mad thrash. Well done Steve! Keeping fingers crossed for Tom.
American hard worker...you make the U.S.A. proud!
Tom Bailey burns up more motors than anyone else I've ever seen lol
Gotta love his dedication though!!
I love your customer service and the friendships you have developed! You have my utmost respect! ❤❤❤❤
Prying the O-ringed Intake off right After customer engine take a Floor wiz.....Make Steve's day !!
Steve your committed to your engines and friends God Bless you Brother'
This one earned a like, as well as a lot of respect! Michigan people have to look out for each other ;)
the look on your face when you said Tom decided to do it himself, looked liked you were screaming NO inside
You sir are a good friend to take care of that last minute like you did. Well done!
Hope everything goes well with the motor, never a good feeling when you can’t definitively find the source of the problem. Good luck gentlemen
That is so awesome that you did that for Tom. You guys be careful and have fun! 😎
Good luck on the tour this week!!
Tom: "It's Broke". Steve: "???" Tom: "Can you fix it"? I hope you guys can get this fixed, it's fun watching your videos during Drag Week. BTW, Thanks for doing the video, even though you were in a rush to get it done.

I hope all this last-minute effort pays off for you and Tom, so that you have a good week.
As long as there is time for the camera you should never run out of video material! Thanks Steve. God bless you
Steve you go up and beyond for your friends. Very commendable
At least he stopped when he heard a noise. If it was a normal day, he would have just driven it back to the pits. Your look was the same one that we had when we watched the video.
