Keith Dorton is my hero, a true master of his craft.
This engine builders brother is actually Randy dorton. The engine builder for Hendrick that was killed in the plane crash in 2004 or whenever it was
Very interesting how different this build is to the other usual builds.
Very good information. What a legend.
One of my favourites. Love to do an apprenticeship under Keith Dorton.
What an amazing engine builder.
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like this is the best work I ever seen👍🏼
What a beautiful form of art
The best of the best of parts put together with artform style of skill....😎💯✌almost zero friction assembly build
Great vid, really enjoyed!! 👍👍👍👍
Outstanding video..
Thank you! :D
Great show and what a legend engine builder. Have not seen anyone use a Holley intake for a while. But man's knows his stuff..
Circle track engines are amazing
Great job team
I was great I'm grateful you sharing that knowledge I learned so much and still learning you have acquired such great skill I admire thank you thank you so much
Secrets are in the heads and cam. Still a secret
Awesome!
Genius motor master
Very smart man.
Great Video 👍
I agree Hugo!
He definitely is a good engine builder
I agree!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing like legendary creators... sometimes they can't put into words, the knowledge complied and just show you, here's what we'll do... 😉
Nothing like a finally tuned machine... some people could understand the hearing it just run, I've seen people come out of office, do you not know you hear that... let me show you something 😏 🤗
Oil temps kept you guys from breaking 600, now that is wild!
Not one formula one engine goes on the track without bringing the oil up to temp. Any Bike racer will do the same. Oil flow or no go.
Master in his own mind.
Detail orientation. Very important. Don't be afraid to create a checklist. A street engine is just as critical as a NASCAR engine. A lot of those race engines are taken apart very regularly. Not so with a race engine. Also the versatility of a street engine is really greater to be truthful. Stop and go driving. Mature antics.Hot climate cold climate and just not doing anything to it for a hundred and fifty thousand miles plus. Ok oil changes basic service things of the sort.Details could mean a lot. Down Time. Not good if you're relying on the car day to day. His sonic checking his fitting the pan and manifold. The roof of the intake ports.Here is one thing they stressed in the Direct Connection manuals for Chrysler engines. Good video. Straight forward. Not too hip and happening.
Dyno w/accessories ty!
Not releasing to many secrets!!!
If they are taking the time to variable frequency manipulation the block... You can do in in a operating temperature frequency manipulation... or in the mold... sonic vibration manipulation of cooling metal is tons of efficiency idea's
But I care too much, I'm to intelligent to work in a engineering environment I've been told... we can't hire you 😳
Really really appreciate that, smh... ✌
Thanks for waisting a brilliant minds time then... you could have just called and told me I tested to high and finished your 3 test in almost record timing, really your do... common knowledge, common sense physics/ theory and physics/ geometry test are done already...
🥱👏🤝 Yeah, how were they... ummm well, we don't have people usually score this high... I don't think we can use you here at all... ummm your over educated for us to know what to do with 🤣 Really Really 👏 👍 🤔
So... went back home, mail came next week, hey this is ..... I'm sorry you are over qualified for our company, sorry, you can reapply in 6 months 🤣✌
👍👍
Engine building: 101 on display.
Now then........where are the "secrets"???
I hope he comes back to make you eat that last comment. 🤣🤣
How about the roller cam bearings?
What is the bore and stroke of the engine ? Carburetor size , compression ratio etc....
Keith Dorton is the "Yoda" of engine building
I can't wait to be the best plus the fastest
Released August 2011.
One must wonder what might of been if Keith had coupled with his late brother Randy who was the “whiz-kid” of Hendrick Motorsport racing’s NASCAR repeated Championship winners. Imagine………
Hale Wheel Warsaw VA Crusader rep
You should ask Keith what he thinks of Scott Parkhurst?
Out of the box, that intake will cost you 15 to 25hp vs a edelbrock Victor Jr.
Beating a gasket with a hammer. That is a new one. Beats the printed seal on the gasket. What is the engineering principle behind that? I doubt the gasket manufacturer recommends it. All i use is a little glue to hold it in place. Contact cement .Some guys use Shoo Goo . Most dummies use RTV which is not a gasket sealer or dressing and can make problems.
What were the cam specs?
The real sepuh mesin balap 😂
I didnt see keith degree the cam.
What is the cubic inch?
Wheres the expert internet engine builders with more experience?
Sorry I'm late. What am I criticizing again?
Internet isn't necessarily my strength, but 44 years as an engine builder and mechanic is. The engine combo I used was 4.125 bore and 3.48 stroke. Ran very well on circle dirt tracks.
What was bore/stroke combination on that engine build.🤔
7 inch bore, 1.5 inch stroke. As a 27 year old master engine builder, I've been building high performance rotary engines for the last 26 years and that is my secret to a reliable and quick 2 stroke engine.
Has to be under most likely 358
Main caps look like 4 bolt splayed so I'd guess the block is a 400 but who knows if they kept the stock bore and stroke
Is he using Dow Corning bathtub sealer on the intake manifold? 🤔
would not take heat
Key cam that gives you 93 % cyl volume on all strokes unlike 17% factory 🏭 😂
no mention of cubic inch here.
And no secrets revealed
What does 603 and 504 mean ?
Horsepower and torque fool
My girl friend could spend some time on that vibrating table
Just put full duration low lift cam 😂..190 quarter mile that way stock 455 olds
Let’s go Brandon
Lets Go Brandon
I'm surprised. I thought I'd get a bit more out of this. I'm a little disappointed if I'm being honest. Most guys that click on this video are looking for more detail. I would have rather heard another engine builder interview him for a half hour.
Gravel Voice is so obnoxiously grating
The secret to championship race engines must be to avoid American V8`s..... duh....
It’s 4.125 bore, and judging by the rod/piston combo it’s gotta be 400-427 cubic inches.
Roller cam, roller cam bearings, dry sump, those heads/rockers/pistons/rods. And the accessories. That is one expensive 600HP motor. Yikes
I doubt that not enough torque engine is more likely in the 350-60 range
372 cube I reckon
Internal combustion engines will be obsolete in 50 years.
So like sense hate speech and racism is illegal, how do you guys build racist engines for racists cars? Why do you let racists participate in your car shows? the whole thing scares me because talking about these racists engines should be banned
Maybe use parts that fit so you don't have to grind sealings what joke this guy
