Amen... The look on Steve's face as he brain went "TILT" when suddenly confronted with Turbo and Oil pump coating / mods... We might have some real innovative engine updates being tested this year and integrated into SM engines for 2025....
Shout out to Clark on the assembly. Nice to see professional, methodical, precise and clean prep and assembly work, always good to see a tradesman do his job so well.
When Andy was talking about the turbo and oil pump coatings I could see the wheels turning in Steve's mind on his facial expressions. Very cool knowledge to be had here about these coatings. Thanks for all these videos you do and for Line 2 Line Coatings for providing the details on the coatings.
Wonder if they could coat my rotors and also the inside of my blower to decrease the clearance inside the blower plus have the triple strips thats already on the rotors?
I am always amazed of what I learn from Steve’s channel. This technology can transfer over to so many other industries I am involved in. Funny how I have not heard of this. I am an Aerospace and Prototype Machine Engineer, and after 42 yrs I am still learning lots of new stuff. This is awesome.
Man, I can't wait to see Steve lean on the monster SMX 😮, just hope he gets the power to the ground 👍🏻👍🏻, keep up the excellent work 😊😊 P.s a big shout out to Clark, for being entrusted to put the beast back together 😂💪🏻☺️
That is SO great....at 17:45 when Andy is talking about coating turbo's and bearings you can actually SEE the wheels turning in Steve's head as he's contemplating the ramifications of that kind of thing. Very cool technology that is sure to find many uses in the high performance world.
Clark is obviously no joke! For Steve to trust him with assembly and installation speaks volumes! Bring on the 5's for 2024! Next level stuff with the hi tech coatings!
I've been really interested in those Line2Line coatings since the first mention from you, especially with turbos. Please let them do your compressor housings. I'd like to see how the boost curve changes. Thanks guys! Love it all!
Just to help Clark out on his favorite job....if you throw an oil ring on the piston you are using to square the ring in the bore when grinding em it makes it much quicker and is more repeatable.
clark seems to bo almost a clone of your work philosophy and deserves a lot of credit for his dedication. I keep waiting for him to do a verison of Let's Do the time Warp though. LOL great job Clark.
Clark does a GREAT JOB!! hope your Feed him Good. Great video and also the one about your Wife's car! Always learning something with your video's Steve.
Its funny 50 years ago I did just the same thing with a Yamaha SRX engine. I was working at a defense plant and we built massive guns for the US Navy. They had a coating that was used on gun slides. I coated them pistons to where they were a press fit, and just as he mentioned it fixed itself. So it has taken the racing world over 40 years to catch up to the military contractors.
Do you still have that sled? One of the best! How’d it run? Could you lean it out ? I did the same with a polaris 600 punched out to a 660, and would hold it’s own with piped up 800’s. I did throw a lot of lite weight products on it. 2006
I've done the coating on so many things. Exaust and compressor housings. I noticed a decent drop in intake charge temp. I use the coating on used engines that I don't want to bore. Just a hone and then coating takes up the gap. Good stuff.
@@bigduphusaj162 Not quite, Georges was an evaporust job! It might have lived if he used this coating. George just removed the bad stuff without adding any good stuff and then the ......I guess it doesn't matter whether good or bad, but all the stuff came out of the engine and Jackstand Jimmy yelled from the shop that I just heard that engine blow!😁
I love the music steve puts in his video's theres not many other channels that look for good rock music most just put the same ole song for there time lapse one of the things i love about this channel and all the tech you could ask for
Amazing how coating technology has increased over the years and it constantly goes up at a logarithmic rate. I have been in the aerospace industry for decades and been around a lot of coating geeks and the things I have seen over the past 20 years is mind blowing. I would love to be in the high performance automotive side of the sector and watch the technology increase. Oh I order my hoodie too so I hope I’m fortunate enough to get a piston and rod with my order I could definitely make some cool garage art out of it.
A lot more tech goes into piston clearance-ing than I thought possible. Good stuff. Steve by the end of the video did you end up having the whole wagon trailered to Line2Line to get coated?
My friends father ,back in the 80s was a distributor for protec anti friction engine treatment ,he showed me the roller bearing friction results ,they were like 50%of regular oil ,I wonder how it compares to your anti-friction additives, im still waiting for the grand announcement of the SM-XX and SM-XXX. 700+ AND 900+ CUBIC IN.
These long format videos being chocked full of technical information are a gem, Steve. No other engine designer is going to share their TDP and why they make changes to their designs. Most of the viewers simply enjoy the content while those of us that aren't involved in the racing industry however we do appreciate the empirical side of things having a manufacturing background, albeit in an unrelated industry. And no SME video is complete without a Dewey cameo which always makes our day brighter. We still have some hoodies untouched but why not add a couple more hoodies and a Dewbert shirt so as to ease some of the strain on the Wagon budget? It's a win-win for everyone and we're looking forward to seeing the feedback video on the piston & bearing coating. The piston coating reminds us of the DFL from Cerakote and the exhaust coating reminds us of their piston coating (oven cure) offering. Cheers! Edit: No Dewbert shirt - sold out in our size. Blue SM shirt instead. Cheers!
Steve. I would love to know more about piston ring orientation. How you clock rings when you put them in and how they are clocked when they come out after having run. Are the gaps lined up or is it random??
I think you should receive some type of award for your truly honest transparency in your videos. You give some of the absolutely some of the most useful information on your videos. Keep doing what you do and wish you all the best at sick week! Go fast or stay home!!!
Clark is getting a workout with that torque wrench, he’s gonna have 24” pythons. “Whatcha gonna do brother when Clarkamania runs wild on you!” Really enjoyed that vid. 👏
Brother this is some awesome content.. I sure hope I make enough $ this week to buy a black hoodie and hopefully get a piston from the wagon for my birthday on the 14th. Of this month. Thanks Steve you are the # 1 man on this utube.
That's a dangerous look you had Steve when this guy is talking about coating bearings and turbos that's a lot to changes for sickweek but they are interesting.
Man steve ur 2023 Sick week was brutal man, Steve ur quest is truly crazy commited to science of parts logevity = Speed ur commitment is legendatry thanks for sharing and teaching so many folks how hard gain thousands let alone 10ths
Not a big hoodie guy! Ordered a grey T-shirt! Maybe I will get lucky! 😆 loving the content Steve. Tech tips are awesome to see. Always love to learn stuff like this! Wish you the best of luck on the big event coming up! 💪💪💪
Hell yeah! Absolutely amazing stuff… My brain is running wild like the look on Steve’s face, thinking of all the possibilities of use for the coating lol. First thing I thought before ever hearing it, was roots blower lobes… Self clearancing and never wears out basically… No more Teflon!!! Lol. Tight tolerances on rotor to rotor and rotor to case, with no excess heat build up either… like the Teflon does… Him mentioning the turbo compressor housings… amazing! Can tell that’s happening by the look on Steve’s face lol. Awesome just awesome. Far as the piston redesign goes, I thought immediately of a diesel piston… They have massive ring lands, and an iron reinforced ring grove if they’re aluminum lol. Then there’s absolute insanity with forged steel pistons lol. Due to their cylinder pressure… 👍🤘👏
why u will sucsead were others wount....:u r willing to push the envlope to its break'n point (as costly as it might be)...that is the only way to find what will fail & "were" it will fail...!.than u can correct it..which will ultametly makes a "better" product"...!..better products...are what seam 2 be lacking nowadays...!..thanks 4 all the info in the videos...LOVE them cause they make sence...!...& you explane things REALY well...good luck testing with both cars...stay healthy...Brian
Awesome video.Loved the inspection/engineering of the ring package. Great to be able to see the iterative evolution of an amazing engine. Next up: pneumatic valve springs :)
Steve I really enjoy watching and listening to your channel. Something I’ve noticed you doing lately is using your squeaky voice. Not working for me bud it’s annoying! Please stop. Thanks
I worked assembling motors for my uncles race shop in my teens and 20s never have i delt with billet blocks and heads only been able to deal with iron blocks with spec aluminum heads i miss it. Now in my late 40s would love to get back into race engines im a heavy diesel mechanic for the time being lol
Gees Clarke not paying you to stand around....lol😂...hey Steve heat gun might be a better option than your hand when testing the exhaust coating aye. Just saying..lol
You never cease to amaze me Steve Morris since I first started watching your channel and I wasn't so sure about you to now when I have all the respect in the world for you it has been an adventure watching you and I have never met you in person I feel like i know you though which is cool thing about RUclips in general. And thank you for sharing knowledge that is the most significant thing I love about you and your channel. Your enthusiasm, dedication and true love for what you are doing is contagious and I am so impressed by that I hope I catch this infection for myself even if it is not in cars or racing or engines but I would like to have just that much drive in my life also.
SM is my favorite RUclips channel.... I'm far removed from motorsports now that I live in the Philippine but I'm a gearhead forever. I have to say that I'm so impressed with Clarks speed getting the engine together and back in the car, great job Clark....
Hahahaha... watching Steve's brain go into overdrive after he said "zero clearance and the boost curve moves left with no lag"... Steve's brain; wait... I WANT THAT NOW... more speed and NO LAG...!! LMAO 😂 no shit... this guys getting a TON of BUSINESS NOW
Shout out to Clark !! Steve lucky to have a friend to trust to assemble the heart of your race week motor👍 most my friend I’d question a tire change lol
Can you set up a safety on you ECU to be triggered by EGT limits? So if you EGT is too hot or too cold it will shut it down before it hurts the motor? Or are th EGT’s not reliable enough
Is it possible to move ring #2 and oil ring Down into the pin area , and use an aluminum wrist pin plug that fits snug , that is grooved to accept the the rings ?? , love your show ,very informative
Hey steve, was wondering if you had seen HKS's new 2 part pistons? Where the top of the piston screws on and over the bottom, which allows the wrist pin to be higher on the piston? Just thought it was a cool idea
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR MOST INTERESTING ITS A CLASS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL. YOU ARE THE GO TO GUY AND AS I WATCHED I NOTICED YIUR EYES GOT BIGGER WHEN HE SAID COATING OIL PUMP TURBO INTERNAL. BEARINGS COATED. YEP. THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. FOR MORE POWER LESS WEAR. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
This is amazing information on how he makes his engines have so much capable horsepower I really wondered how he was making 4500 horsepower with a piston drive engine without nitromethane
Funny to see the gears turn in Steve's head when he heard about all the places they can put that coating.
If you put his brain on that hub dyno at that moment he woulda broke it.
Yep😅😅😅
I was laughing so loud because my brain did the same thing at the same time.
I had to google L2L and think I’ll plain to send them a bunch of parts :D
It doesn't stop leaks.😂
Amen... The look on Steve's face as he brain went "TILT" when suddenly confronted with Turbo and Oil pump coating / mods...
We might have some real innovative engine updates being tested this year and integrated into SM engines for 2025....
He broke Steve's brain with throwing out them doing turbos and moving the boost curve
Shout out to Clark for absolutely killing it! .... and pulling faces in the background too. Legend.
Shout out to Clark on the assembly. Nice to see professional, methodical, precise and clean prep and assembly work, always good to see a tradesman do his job so well.
When Andy was talking about the turbo and oil pump coatings I could see the wheels turning in Steve's mind on his facial expressions. Very cool knowledge to be had here about these coatings. Thanks for all these videos you do and for Line 2 Line Coatings for providing the details on the coatings.
Yup same here
Wonder if they could coat my rotors and also the inside of my blower to decrease the clearance inside the blower plus have the triple strips thats already on the rotors?
Tec tip for 2024 , do not send your wife there ,would be an early 4th of july
Clarky is really good at putting those SMX engines together and installing them in the car
Working like a machine
I am always amazed of what I learn from Steve’s channel. This technology can transfer over to so many other industries I am involved in. Funny how I have not heard of this. I am an Aerospace and Prototype Machine Engineer, and after 42 yrs I am still learning lots of new stuff. This is awesome.
You mean you've never heard of engine coatings? Engines nowadays have different coatings on every part it seems! Respect for your career tho!
Man, I can't wait to see Steve lean on the monster SMX 😮, just hope he gets the power to the ground 👍🏻👍🏻, keep up the excellent work 😊😊
P.s a big shout out to Clark, for being entrusted to put the beast back together 😂💪🏻☺️
That is SO great....at 17:45 when Andy is talking about coating turbo's and bearings you can actually SEE the wheels turning in Steve's head as he's contemplating the ramifications of that kind of thing. Very cool technology that is sure to find many uses in the high performance world.

Thanks guys! Love it all!
I love this content in between races! No other channel has such good tech videos
Big shout out to Clark..
Good man, knows is stuff, definitely an OG, best guys to get the job done...
Can't wait to see teardown with coated pistons! Hopefully on a maintenance teardown.
Just to help Clark out on his favorite job....if you throw an oil ring on the piston you are using to square the ring in the bore when grinding em it makes it much quicker and is more repeatable.
Poor Clark, Steve pulling him back to Michigan to suffer in the cold.
clark seems to bo almost a clone of your work philosophy and deserves a lot of credit for his dedication. I keep waiting for him to do a verison of Let's Do the time Warp though. LOL great job Clark.
Clark does a GREAT JOB!!
hope your Feed him Good.
Great video and also the one about your Wife's car!
Always learning something with your video's Steve.
I might have wanted to hear what the guy was saying... I'm not quite sure because he kept getting interrupted. How rude.
Its funny 50 years ago I did just the same thing with a Yamaha SRX engine. I was working at a defense plant and we built massive guns for the US Navy. They had a coating that was used on gun slides. I coated them pistons to where they were a press fit, and just as he mentioned it fixed itself. So it has taken the racing world over 40 years to catch up to the military contractors.
Do you still have that sled? One of the best! How’d it run? Could you lean it out ? I did the same with a polaris 600 punched out to a 660, and would hold it’s own with piped up 800’s. I did throw a lot of lite weight products on it. 2006
As the technology advances Steve, thanks for sharing this with us.
I drag race and this information is gold!
I've done the coating on so many things. Exaust and compressor housings. I noticed a decent drop in intake charge temp. I use the coating on used engines that I don't want to bore. Just a hone and then coating takes up the gap. Good stuff.
what just like LS George did back before the entite lot came out the bottom end one time?
@@bigduphusaj162 Not quite, Georges was an evaporust job! It might have lived if he used this coating. George just removed the bad stuff without adding any good stuff and then the ......I guess it doesn't matter whether good or bad, but all the stuff came out of the engine and Jackstand Jimmy yelled from the shop that I just heard that engine blow!😁
I love the music steve puts in his video's theres not many other channels that look for good rock music most just put the same ole song for there time lapse one of the things i love about this channel and all the tech you could ask for
Steve I can see you gears ⚙️⚙️ running 5000hp. 😂
The coating guys are going to be dang busy!!!!
I can see Steve's gears going around, throughout, with all the possibilities. Pistons, bearings, turbos, pumps FTW.
Clark'n it out of the park,
Mr. Wizard
He don't mess around, haha. Love it
I genuinely learned a lot in this video sir. Very good stuff here. I had to rewind a couple times to comprehend everything
Well It Could Be Worse Clark U Could Be Filling The Ring By Hand Like I Do! 😂😂😂
Amazing how coating technology has increased over the years and it constantly goes up at a logarithmic rate. I have been in the aerospace industry for decades and been around a lot of coating geeks and the things I have seen over the past 20 years is mind blowing.

Oh I order my hoodie too so I hope I’m fortunate enough to get a piston and rod with my order I could definitely make some cool garage art out of it.
That's awesome man I would love to pick your brain it is all so awesome to know how things are done at such a level as that
Steve, I can't help but think you took Clark from Jimmy John's, because he's freaky fast at engine assembly!!!
A lot more tech goes into piston clearance-ing than I thought possible. Good stuff. Steve by the end of the video did you end up having the whole wagon trailered to Line2Line to get coated?

Clark, must be irreplaceable!
Time 653 " Self propelled fire truck only on of it's kind . " Sounds like a Jay Leno's Garage thing. . .
Steve. I would love to know more about piston ring orientation. How you clock rings when you put them in and how they are clocked when they come out after having run. Are the gaps lined up or is it random??
He has talked about that in another video - basically the rings rotate so it doesn't matter.
Saw Clark on the thumbnail couldn't click fast enough to watch!
Hi Clark!
I think you should receive some type of award for your truly honest transparency in your videos. You give some of the absolutely some of the most useful information on your videos. Keep doing what you do and wish you all the best at sick week! Go fast or stay home!!!
but what happens if i want to go fishing?
I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the Coatings on the Pistons also the Hot side of the SML.
Clark is getting a workout with that torque wrench, he’s gonna have 24” pythons. “Whatcha gonna do brother when Clarkamania runs wild on you!” Really enjoyed that vid. 👏
I can see the cut off T shirt with "Clarkamania" on it and a drawing of him ripping apart a phone book...or maybe an engine block would be better!
Brother this is some awesome content.. I sure hope I make enough $ this week to buy a black hoodie and hopefully get a piston from the wagon for my birthday on the 14th. Of this month. Thanks Steve you are the # 1 man on this utube.
That's a dangerous look you had Steve when this guy is talking about coating bearings and turbos that's a lot to changes for sickweek but they are interesting.
its so nice that Clark has more comfy with the camera!!
There were thousands of fans wondering if Clark dog-napped . Judging by the look on 's face he foiled the plot.🤣
Wonder how often you replace head studs, mains studs and big end hardware? Each time the engine is apart? Clark is a gem, can do most anything.
Man steve ur 2023 Sick week was brutal man, Steve ur quest is truly crazy commited to science of parts logevity = Speed ur commitment is legendatry thanks for sharing and teaching so many folks how hard gain thousands let alone 10ths
pistons wear in >< cylinders wear out
Great show Steve! Good work Clark, and awesome new music Kyle??? :)
Clark bud tell steve florida go to
jamaka and leave your phone in a toll box at work lol great vid and content
I've never seen Clark move so fast.... With a torque wrench nonetheless!
So much interesting stuff to learn!
Not a big hoodie guy! Ordered a grey T-shirt! Maybe I will get lucky! 😆 loving the content Steve. Tech tips are awesome to see. Always love to learn stuff like this! Wish you the best of luck on the big event coming up! 💪💪💪

Clark is the best. 👍
Clark needs a "mullet power" t-shirt!
Awesome video.Loved the inspection/engineering of the ring package. Great to be able to see the iterative evolution of an amazing engine.
Next up: pneumatic valve springs :)
Steve I really enjoy watching and listening to your channel. Something I’ve noticed you doing lately is using your squeaky voice. Not working for me bud it’s annoying! Please stop. Thanks
Ordered a hoodie and Keychain at 3:35am! Send piston and valve to the Hazel Green, AL order please!! 🙏🏻 worth a shot right? Hahaha
Clark is the man.
Nice modifications on the pistons! Continuous improvement.
I worked assembling motors for my uncles race shop in my teens and 20s never have i delt with billet blocks and heads only been able to deal with iron blocks with spec aluminum heads i miss it. Now in my late 40s would love to get back into race engines im a heavy diesel mechanic for the time being lol

Venus! Wow Crazy... 7 Minute gang!! Lets GO!!!
Umm, minute gang 😐
Great show Steve! Good work Clark, and awesome new music Kyle??? :)
SM is my favorite RUclips channel.... I'm far removed from motorsports now that I live in the Philippine but I'm a gearhead forever.
I have to say that I'm so impressed with Clarks speed getting the engine together and back in the car, great job Clark....
I'm 79 ,gear heads are forever---------!!
Steve who is the band playing in this video the Jam just another thing I enjoy with your channel thanks for sharing your knowledge
I thought Clark was gonna winter in Florida this year. Making him work hard in retirement. See ya all at sick week. Ferris state alum.
Glad Clark is still looking at the green (snow covered?) side of the Grass.....
Steve, you should have a vender sticker. Give away so we could put on are tool boxes and frigerators.
Thanks to you for sharing Line 2 Line. Business shall be done. The bearing thing makes me ponder if they could do it on crankshafts?
Hahahaha... watching Steve's brain go into overdrive after he said "zero clearance and the boost curve moves left with no lag"...
Steve's brain; wait... I WANT THAT NOW... more speed and NO LAG...!! LMAO 😂 no shit... this guys getting a TON of BUSINESS NOW
Shout out to Clark !! Steve lucky to have a friend to trust to assemble the heart of your race week motor👍 most my friend I’d question a tire change lol
I would question triple A
You, have to hit the bell twice, to get all uploads. Hitting the once, will only subscribe.
PMSL at Steve's mind going at 1000 mph when the guy started talking about oil pumps LOL
Steve it's at times like that I wish I wasn't retired.
You might want to see about doing a survey to see how many people would like zip up hoodies because if you sold them I would definitely buy one
man you are living the dream, love your content and engines.- just a budget builder from alabama
So much info in your videos. Thank you for sharing all this tech with us.
Can you set up a safety on you ECU to be triggered by EGT limits? So if you EGT is too hot or too cold it will shut it down before it hurts the motor? Or are th EGT’s not reliable enough
Check header Temps with a heat checker it's a little more accurate than the
..how long can I hold my hand on it? method..
I’d be interested to know if there’s a compression difference. If the piston is larger then less should be making it down to the first ring🤷🏼♂️
Did I see Clark in The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Is it possible to move ring #2 and oil ring Down into the pin area , and use an aluminum wrist pin plug that fits snug , that is grooved to accept the the rings ?? , love your show ,very informative
Hey steve, was wondering if you had seen HKS's new 2 part pistons? Where the top of the piston screws on and over the bottom, which allows the wrist pin to be higher on the piston? Just thought it was a cool idea
Happy to see Clarky back in the shop turning wrenches Woo-hoo
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR MOST INTERESTING ITS A CLASS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL. YOU ARE THE GO TO GUY AND AS I WATCHED I NOTICED YIUR EYES GOT BIGGER WHEN HE SAID COATING OIL PUMP TURBO INTERNAL. BEARINGS COATED. YEP. THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. FOR MORE POWER LESS WEAR. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
This is amazing information on how he makes his engines have so much capable horsepower I really wondered how he was making 4500 horsepower with a piston drive engine without nitromethane
I would be extremely happy if I had a engine that made as much horsepower as 1 piston does is Steve’s SMX Wagon engine
Thank you Steve I'm still buying lottery tickets in the hopes of My dream motor SML...
Watching Steve's face while the talk is on turbos is like.. ** calculating **
Watching SM process his own obstacles and relay that back to me is words I comprehend, on the fly, is just as good as brain food gets....
Clark did good choosing the music for his part too.
I know Pete Harrell at Herrell engine and dyno uses Line2Line coating on some of his engines
I just ordered my black Hoodie. Good luck everyone on getting a rod an piston. It would be a awesome gift. My favorite driver an Engine builder.
Let’s gooo! Best engine builder out there!!! You and Pete Harrell are both my favorite!! Both yal polishing turds
I dont know why all i could think of when he was talking was george mcfly i cant be the only one 😂
There is so much cylinder pressure yo have to have the ring lands thicker to keep from breaking the piston.
