I’m sitting in the hospital with my wife. We just had twin boys and I had to watch my Finnegan’s Garage. I even named one of my sons Michael! I’ve had the honor meeting a few times in a couple of different events, more the most down to earth, humble, and honestly genuine people on the face of the earth.
I loved this episode and it was great seeing Pete again. I remember a while back you mentioned that you didn't do much boat content because it didn't perform as well on the platform, but I gotta say I really enjoy it and I hope you do more. The Side Chick movie a few years ago was epic
@@FinnegansGarageHell yes man we are definitely here for it all I absolutely love that you do different projects of all sorts!! We get to learn so much and it's always about horsepower no matter what you're building the motors to put in it's always entertaining to watch keep on keeping on brother love seeing you dropping bangers always!!!
My little boy was making sounds to get Mom's attention but then you guys fire up the first time and he stayed quiet for the whole pull and watch it and listen to it. And happy Holidays
2 carbed dyno tunes are painful, it will like different numbers in the boat with the scoop on. But good results all round. Well done Big Power Pete Harrell
I built a motor in 2006 with Dart 11 deg big chief heads. All the exhaust rocker bolt holes both the 7/16 and 5/16 ones went into the water jacket. I noticed that when I was putting it together. I put pipe sealer on all the bolts . Never had a problem with them leaking. I would check all your bolt holes or just put sealer on them all as a precaution.
I’m so glad Side Chick will survive a complete drag race weekend now. The amount of stuff wrong with that engine was so great, it’s a wonder you had anything left to FSM-CSI and figure out it needed the magic of Pete!! Great video Mike! You are a great teacher!
I put plumbers putty on all head bolts that go in the water jacket on my race engines!It saves a lot of work and makes it easier to take back apart when you blow the motor!😊
All these problems blow my mind. At this point it might be easier to get a custom set of heads that just have the cam on the valve, imagine that for an idea.
Pete is such a solid engine builder, and his tuning seems to be pretty damn impressive. Most cars he works on or tunes seem to do very very well! HED FTW LOL
Oughta get Pete to write y’all a Finnegan’s Garage tune / music… Thinkin’ it’s either time for a new pair of heads or have those gone through, either way, by someone way reputable. Silly stuff like those screwed up / nonstandard plug holes, etc, makes for stuff to screw up and cause bigger problems.
I was very fortunate to live within driving distance of Factory Pro Tuning. Marc Salvisberg was a genius with motorcycle engines. I learned a lot from him just by observation. Before making the first pull, he would run roadracing engines at a fast idle until the engine casting temperature (measured with an IR gun at the sump) became stable. About 20 minutes for water pumpers and twice that for vintage motors with air cooling.
Puppy!!😁👍💯🐶🐕 Then Pete,a BBC and a dyno, what's better than that for a Sunday morning?😁 Um, over a thousand horse powers is cool too 🎉 and all the pieces parts stayed inside where they kinda belong, but h20? JB weld please!😊😁 Well it is going in a boat, so can you put a bilge pump in the engine as well? Just saying 😅 pipe dope and zap it down!👍 There you go! Thanks again guys.
Picked up a FSM hoodie and a couple sticker packs for my buddies toolboxes as a Christmas gift to myself and the garages. Hoping the channel continues to do well! Happy Holidays!
Dont rely on the numbers on a jet, use a jet gauge or better still flow them . Dont put old jets in your jet box just by matching the numbers, they could have been reemed bigger.
Glad you didn't give up on this motor. I've had similar problems back in my day and the frustration is a real deal. Walking away and regrouping always helps. Having great friends with talent never hurts. Definitely can't wait for the next boat video. Congratulations on your success. P.S. Maybe a new set of heads will make it under the Christmas tree 🎄 this year 🤷.
Expected the next on the 57' gasser wagon, happily surprised to find out the subject is "Sidechick".... Cool ass boat Finn, I used to pit on a 19' flat w/532ci blown on alcohol. My buddy was an APBA champ for a time #357 D.S.
Attaboy finnegan, we love seein yas out here on the RUclips hopefully you’re here to stay with these wicked videos and even MOVIES now! Keep it up finn 💪
Just got my sticker packs , red and black FSM hat and the i heart fossil fuels shirt . Super fast shipping and great quality hat and shirt . Thanks for the great content and sweet merch mike !
wish more ppl that make vides would talk about the price of stuff, awesome video by the way n i hope you enjoy the heck out of your boat! best of luck to you!
Right? Gotta give the man credit for still >having< hair at his-and my-age. Much less keeping long hair this long as I shaved mine off 20 years back after riding with the sunroof open made me look like a Cockatoo
I have found over the years that impeller RPM over 7000 can cause cavitation issues, mind you impellor dimeter, pitch and nozzle pressure come into effect. I worked on small diameter PWC pumps generally but some large diameter impellers also. I worked to make torque over high RPM horse power. PS I also found a small gradual rise/bump in the hull at the pump inlet helps flow. Laminar? Don't know but it seems to reduce the air grab popping sound a speed.
If you want to finish tapping out the side that the plug threads are shallow, move each piston to tdc and put shaving cream in there. It'll catch the shavings. No pun intended.
Seems like it wouldn't have been too difficult to just machine the heads so that all 8 holes took the same plug, and it was the correct spot in the chamber.
Can you pull the head off and finish welding the crack? You'll have to grind it clean through the bolt hole, that has questionable looking threads anyway. Surely the force of the valve hitting the piston impacted your rocker stand and tried to knock it into outer space. Therefore the aluminum cracked all the way to the hardware keeping it inside the valve cover.
Cool engine. Chasing individual A/F ratios is generally a waste of time as long as the ratios are safe. Most N/A engines are pretty indifferent from 11.5-13:00ish. Probably should check the rest of those rocker stand bolts for water leaks. Should be hella fast.
SFP, Mike! I feel bummed for you about that water leak in the head!😮😞🤬 You have struggled with that motor so much already! I hope Pete can get it fixed, and make it reliable for you guys👍👍👍
Those heads are gonna cost you a whole engine im afraid id be looking for a new set when i could afford it i love the boat content btw gl this coming season finn 👍🏻
OH shit it's Pete! I hear he's real good at doin' stuff!
Same thing I said
9:30 is Majestic
Pete is a ROCKSTAR!
Yeah I have heard that a few times let's freaking go brother 🏁💯🇺🇲
Shreds on that guitar too
Title says no power-adder, but Pete is one of the best power-adders you can get!!!😂
Real good at doing tooning.🎉
Big Facts
You got the best tuner for the job. Pete Real good at doing stuff.
Pete is THE MAN!!! fixed the motor and found the leak... he is REAL GOOD and doing STUFF!
Good Sunday morning, hot coffee, a big block on a dyno, a great start to the day
Yep it's raining here so I can't go out the road and cut donuts 😂
@MVPisME383 Freezing rain here
@@scottgshomewrenching1352 7:45 here and its sunny and 50 degrees :)
With frozen rain, it would make a perfect video so my vote is give it a whirl. lol 😊
Pete is an absolute legend 🤙🏻

Congrats!
Twin boys? Twin hotrod builds in your future!
Congrats to you and your wife on healthy twin boys

The boat stuff isn’t is popular but I love drag boat racing so I’ll continue to drop stuff about it. :)
@@FinnegansGarage I’m just reminding you again you’d probably love a Cole runner bottom better with a blown BBC. Tons of fun working the pedals.

Hey man, Pete is the ultimate power adder.
Finnegan n Pete. Christmas came early. That dyno is about to pop a wheelie.
Big power Pete. I heard he's real good at doing stuff and things
Big power Pete !
2 carbed dyno tunes are painful, it will like different numbers in the boat with the scoop on. But good results all round. Well done Big Power Pete Harrell

So glad to see this update. Coincidently I just watched all the previous videos on this engine build last week. Keep it cool Finnegan.
I’m so glad Side Chick will survive a complete drag race weekend now. The amount of stuff wrong with that engine was so great, it’s a wonder you had anything left to FSM-CSI and figure out it needed the magic of Pete!! Great video Mike! You are a great teacher!
How cool would it have been to have Pete's intro on this video!
I put plumbers putty on all head bolts that go in the water jacket on my race engines!It saves a lot of work and makes it easier to take back apart when you blow the motor!😊
Big Power Pete! 🔥 He's the only Power Adder you need! 😎
Every video with Pete gets a thumbs up!
I’m really surprised you haven’t gotten rid of those problematic heads and gotten a different set
All these problems blow my mind. At this point it might be easier to get a custom set of heads that just have the cam on the valve, imagine that for an idea.
@@tomstech4390Gotta make content my guy
Everyone needs a pete...Cool cat
Pete is the man! Glad he got it sorted out for you👍
Pete's flow is awesome 👌😎
Pete is such a solid engine builder, and his tuning seems to be pretty damn impressive. Most cars he works on or tunes seem to do very very well! HED FTW LOL
Mike you need to get clip on mics as we can hardly hear when you’re not near the camera. Anyhoo big love from the uk 🇬🇧

If Pete is involved. This old big block is gonna sing!
ole Big Power Pete, worth the price of admission

Well worth the price, Peter is awesome. When will we see it run?
All I'm doing watching your videos turning the volume up turning it down turning it up turning it down
Not just me wondering if it's dodgy,... cool.
Big power Pete Harrell in the house. Nice
I watched the teardown video like 2 days ago thinking it was new and this dropped as I was hoping to see where it went keep up the fantastic work mike
Good timing I just watched you pulling it apart yesterday.
Is there something up with the sound? Voice level keeps changing.
Yeah... but the engine sounds are on point lol. Everyone in my house going wtf
Picked up a FSM hoodie and a couple sticker packs for my buddies toolboxes as a Christmas gift to myself and the garages. Hoping the channel continues to do well! Happy Holidays!
Pete is the upper crust of our crusty community !!!
Absolutely the best.
Engines are expensive but I love your content with Pete. Pete’s the man!!! Btw, my Blasphemi sweatshirt arrived yesterday! Bitchin!
Big power Pete Harrel!

Great vdieo and money well spent. I am looking forward to chapter 2 on this. Many thanks.
Big power pete!
9:30 is Majestic ❤
I thought the same thing
Anytime there's a Pete, there is gonna be big power. Cause he's real good at doin stuff. Big Power Pete Harrell 💪
Attaboy finnegan, we love seein yas out here on the RUclips hopefully you’re here to stay with these wicked videos and even MOVIES now!
Keep it up finn 💪
Well he's been here for 8 years now so I'd say he's not going anywhere.
More to come!
Just got my sticker packs , red and black FSM hat and the i heart fossil fuels shirt .
Super fast shipping and great quality hat and shirt . Thanks for the great content and sweet merch mike !
Oooh snap.. big power Pete with furious finnegan this is sum great stuff 👌🔥💪
Watching roadkill on TV and seen this notification pop up on my phone lol. Glad you all are keeping on keeping on!
"car, truck, boat, or scooter." i want to see a 632ci 1200 horsepower big block scooter now.
When I saw Pete in the thumbnail I knew we were about to see some horsepower.
wish more ppl that make vides would talk about the price of stuff, awesome video by the way n i hope you enjoy the heck out of your boat! best of luck to you!
Prices change too much. Google isn't hard
Just here to watch Pete's hair blow in the fan
Right? Gotta give the man credit for still >having< hair at his-and my-age. Much less keeping long hair this long as I shaved mine off 20 years back after riding with the sunroof open made me look like a Cockatoo

Hope pete makes a polishing turds vid of your motor on his channel

This engine has me asking more questions everytime its on the channel
Wooohooo... boat stuff!! love it! Been missing the drag boat
BigPahr Pete Harrell in the HOUSE!
Shop dogs are the best!
WE LEARNED THIS MOTOR IS JUNK TIME 4 A NEW ENGINE
The Man, The Myth, The Legend.....Pete Harrell 😎
Big power Pete
Great start to a Sunday. Cup of Joe and your video.😊
seems like a perfect case to use ion sense ignition system. Could sense the cylinder pressure and knock, adjust based on that as well.
If I was you I would be looking for another set of heads
That's a long dyno session. You definitely got your money's worth. Glad you got it sorted. Now go blast some water. 👍
Please make more boat videos when you can. I work on my Jetboat in the winter and it’s definitely positive reinforcement 👍.
If you want to finish tapping out the side that the plug threads are shallow, move each piston to tdc and put shaving cream in there. It'll catch the shavings. No pun intended.
Seems like it wouldn't have been too difficult to just machine the heads so that all 8 holes took the same plug, and it was the correct spot in the chamber.
And made all the rocker stand ect. Bolt holes blind.

Surely the force of the valve hitting the piston impacted your rocker stand and tried to knock it into outer space. Therefore the aluminum cracked all the way to the hardware keeping it inside the valve cover.
#99 jets? Mr. Sam would be proud!
My friend picked up his new Engine 2 months ago a 615 cu in Chevy all Aluminum N/A over 1300 hp with a single Carb
Poor Pete just stands there wondering why everyone is missing all the aspects of engine ownership like what jets are in the carbs !
I wished I could see that thought bubble right then, but I can guess...
Cool engine. Chasing individual A/F ratios is generally a waste of time as long as the ratios are safe. Most N/A engines are pretty indifferent from 11.5-13:00ish. Probably should check the rest of those rocker stand bolts for water leaks.
Should be hella fast.
Sam at Cleetus's shop puts 99 in everything! That's his motto. 😂
Go NA they said! It'll be more reliable they said! 😂
Does Cleetus still have a big race boat? Go to Florida for us nationals
Perfect timing. Love your videos. Thank you.
Just a little adjustment in audio levels next time pls ;)
SFP, Mike! I feel bummed for you about that water leak in the head!😮😞🤬 You have struggled with that motor so much already! I hope Pete can get it fixed, and make it reliable for you guys👍👍👍
It was coming from the head stud!!
Could a threaded plug be locktighted down in the hole and still have room for the rocker stand bolt?
Good idea
That’s why he is BIG POWER PETE HARRELL🇺🇸💯
Why wouldn't you retap the one head so the plugs would seat?
Peter...Legend!!
Those heads are gonna cost you a whole engine im afraid id be looking for a new set when i could afford it i love the boat content btw gl this coming season finn 👍🏻
When you get ready to spray call fast lane n20 ,do your research he is the man,3 yrs been awesome,c23 spraying 42 jet no issues
Mr Sam would be saying 110 instead of 99's! Man some big ole Jets!
I think we can all agree that someone that finishes projects is building the 57 gasser wagon now……on this time crunch.
