Tighten this thing up extra tight we ain’t going slower this season!
I tried to get Steve to surprize you and send back a SMX for Mullet Cletus :)
Cleettttt! Put one of these in the b52
when you getting an SMX?
@@brettgibson7962 There is a list of his engines on the board behind Steve
Cleet I'd definitely go dry sump. Just saying lots of benefits
This is such a sick series. Sure its cool to see the process, but when the engine is from a car we all know it adds that extra level of engagement. Thanks for taking us along through the process
I love the tech talk, it's like being an apprentice listening to you.
Some more close ups of work being done would be thoroughly appreciated 👌
Using that welded on ball is a ****ing brilliant idea - would have saved SO much messing around over the years!
I gotta say, Mitch’s mullet and stache is a winning combination. I hope he saves some women for the rest of us.
I had to shave my mullet off in the early 90s. So many women, and so little time. If you have never sported a mullet, I suggest you do so. It will change your life forever
Steve, you really do a great job of explaining all this. Thank you. I have so many take-aways from every video I watch
Loving this series Steve! As a non-engine guy, I love the perfect level & balance of tech info you’re putting out!
Love to see you and Cleetus sign the old rods and do a fund raiser for Gentry & Sons
This! Do it will all the old parts. Signed or not, someone will to it for Tim, and the memories of what old mullet has been threw.
Whatever happened with that Gentry and son deal? did their insurance not help at all ? Or just not nearly enough?
@@freedomfox8183 I think they are just waiting as is usual with insurance claims. They don't just fire a cheque off the next day.
Agreed 👍
@@freedomfox8183 they have to build a detailed list of what was lost... thats alot of stuff
Appreciate your videos, Steve. You obviously enjoy your job and are very talented. Thanks for sharing.
I’m 75 and grew up in my dad’s machine shop. He owned and operated a junkyard and 2 parts stores. Every Sunday my 3 brothers and myself would have to travel to stores and clean up the shops, then to the yard to clean up the garage. That was back in the 50’s and 60’s. My dad would love your shop. I bet to him it would a hospital operating room. I hand bored, by hand bored and honed cylinders. That wasn’t the life for me. I can appreciate what you do, not for the money but for your mastery of workmanship and a great clean shop and equipment. People don’t realize the work involved in just keeping the place clean. What caught my eye was your lay out of your cleaning station, brooms, mops and buckets. That tells a thousand words. 👍
I would like to know the pin to pin dimension of the old rods compared to when they were new ? To see how much they crushed after 150+ passes
STREEEEEEEEEEACH yep, that would be interesting to know. My guess, .030 longer.
@@hydroy1 Im not so sure, the bearings werent even smashed out any so im not sure the rods were really taking as big of a pounding they would need to get smashed that much shorter, maybe?
@@hydroy1 Aluminum rods don't permanently stretch, they never have. They expand more than steel when heated, but that's same with anything made from aluminum.
What is your target for clearances on the rods ? What is the oil psi? When do you go smaller at what psi? So I would think it would all change with aluminum or steel rods. Thank you. The door trim? Where is the top trim ? I would talk to Kyle. Lol
@@hydroy1 .016
He's always answered every question I've had and then some more...when you're this good your not insecure and he knows it.
I hope that is Cleetus’s shopping list on the white board 😂
I hope to god it is
Oh snap, if that’s his then the Ripsaw better be sold ASAP. Shew Buddy!
@@aaronpreston47 Plot Twist: Ripsaw is getting the SMX
I want to see a jetboat on his list. Dude can flat get it in those boats
@@stringbender620
I'd like to see a really nice drag boat on his list. I mean those roundy roundy are nice. But I like the 1000 foot squirter.🚤🚤🚤🚤
One thing I HATE is when an engine builder such as yourself feels the need to explain themselves to youtube mechanics and go so deep in depth with a simple process like torque plates etc. your work has been tested and proven to work that’s all that needs to be said in my opinion. But very good of you to explain it anyway
When I was a kid, in the 70s. My grandpa had a lawn mower shop. I watched him lap many many valves.
Thank you Steve, we're all gearheads just trying to learn. I was running brackets in the 70's. It's just amazing how far engine building has progressed. ZL1 heads, triple springs and a 3 angle cut was a nice set.
What is the static and dynamic compression ratios of Cleetus’s engine in particular? Thanks! Love watching the process you follow and the constant improvements you make on every engine that leaves your shop
Steve you are great inspiration! You can just see how much he puts into his engine builds and the pride and experience is worth every cent of the cost of his works of horse power art ! Keep up the great work
I recently found your channel, the way you break down technical details, fault finding, and your methodology makes it very easy to understand. Thank you for making your knowledge so easily digestible for the average person, it's very helpful information.
LOL Cleetus is hard on everything and you have more then proven your ability's Steve. I and the wife think your an amazing man and love every Episode you put out keep them coming. God Bless you and your amazing Family.
I've been turning wrenches for about 27 years or so and my most favorite thing to do is build an engine mostly CAT and Cummins I love taking a box of parts and watching it come to life best feeling in the world. Love your videos keep um coming.
I’ve only ever rebuilt one engine in my life, but the excitement and pride when you start it fir the first time and everything just works is hard to describe.
Just love your enthusiasm
The word Legend comes to mind 🇦🇺
As a new viewer of your channel, i must say ive only watched a few videos, but i truly love what you do. You explain things so thoroughly and very comprehensively. Liked you a lot already just from watchin cleets channel and seeing how fantastic your engine has performed. You sir a truly a badass at what you do. Keep it up man👍
I am so old school, most of what you do is way above what I learned 45+ years ago. Back then, if you were connected enough, you could get some speed parts at a speed shop that would help you. I have color pictures of Don Schumacher's Stardust 68 charger funny car. TO see the engines you build today would make those engines, many by Keith Black look like sunday drivers. I really enjoy watching you, Steve, and watching "Cleetus" work and run your cars.
Appreciate the time you take to teach us so much about these builds, now we will be with this engine when it runs and know how everything was put together and why. I hope the “real good and bending stuff” guy looks after this one properly 🤣
Is 904 the biggest lifter and what is that black coating?
Dlc maybe?
Can't wait to see what Mullet can do once this refresh is done, gonna be sick. Thanks for everything you're doing Steve, you really know your stuff!
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing this process with us! Learning A TON!
I love the way you described the block twisting. That is somethin else !
That 🎵🔊 playing while Mitch was touch honing rocks 💪🤘
You guys are awesome man I was hoping the new machine was rocking and rolling. I look forward to seeing that bad boy in operation.
My question, I’d love to hear your story on how you became an engine builder and engineer
I agree! I would love to hear Steve’s back story on how he has gotten to where he’s at!
There is a video of that, but I cant quite remember the name of it. He worked for an engine builder for a while, quit that, and at some point started building engines for people out of his garage and has since upgraded shops a couple times
We will probably stick to questions relevant to the Mullet build for this next video. But we might be able to work something out with an “origin story” type video in the future.
Thanks for the input!
@wbr7869 I believe he said before he worked for DART in the beginning.
@@rickmosholder4593 Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoy watching these videos. think it's really cool to see what goes into a freshening up the motor, and the investigation of any damage that's been done . just wondering if you're going to be suggesting to change to a dry-sump now. and I love the connecting rod upgrade for all the boost they put in it.
Can we appreciate the guys Mullet that's cleaning the engine. You know this is gonna be a certified ripper engine because of it.
Valve seat height checking, that was a learning moment for sure. Never heard that talked about before. Good tech tip!
The 16th is my 10 month sobriety from alcohol. I’ll be watching. Thank you for your videos I’ve learned a lot
Hell yeah brother! Keeping out boy mullet fresh!
Nice, I like how you leave stuff alone when you know it's good.
Steve building them right! Love the series and showing the attention to detail you and the team have!
Steve, loving this series!
thank you so much for making all this content! you remind me of my dad who built and rebuilt his fair share of engines and transmissions in his day. never had anything come back really. he was one of the go to guys in k.c. for a while if you wanted a transmission rebuilt right.
I like the guy. He knows precision. One remark is his proper use of the torque wrench. He tightens to the the torque. Many mechanics just use it for show or to verify that its over torqued. I thought of this Friday when dude needed a four foot breaker to loosen a lug nut on my Mercedes wagon. The lugs are spun in with an impact and the torque wrench does not budge them a millimeter. Thankfully my tire blew just a few hundred meters from a good tire shop. My in car breaker bar would have never worked.
I'm glad so many smart drag folks are embracing RUclips. It's been really fun.
No questions, just wanted to help the channel with interaction. I wish I had someone with your knowledge and personality close to me. Watching you go through and explain things with ease is fun to watch and you seem like an amazing down to earth fun guy in general. Happy that Cleeter went with a big block built by you. You should make a cross flow head for a Chevy 250/292 straight 6! I was originally going to 2jz swap my 62 Nova, but I have changed my mind to just have some fun with the straight 6, throw a small turbo on it, the Offy go fast bits that I can get and possibly machine in injector bungs, or maybe just go with a Holly EFI/TBI kit.
If you don't mind, please share as many as you are comfortable with in next week's video:
1. Valve stem clearance
2. Valve seat angles
3. Valve seat material (beryllium copper-do they still sell that?)
4. Piston pin clearance
5. Piston pin material , diameter, and wall thickness
6.Piston to wall
7. Piston material (2618?)
Hope I'm not being a pain
Go to CHE Precision for beryllium copper seats best seat material ever along with the highest quality guides and bushings made.
Not a pain at all,
You are a member.
0015 stem clearance
CHE seat / bronze alloy not berrilium
50 / 55 degree seats
H13 tool steel pins
.008 clearance at akirt
@@stevemorrisracing Thanks
Loving the work this engine is getting, and the walkthrough is super informative! Hell yah brother!
Question: If the wet sump causes so many issues, why not convert to a dry sump? Is it even possible to convert an engine from wet to dry? And would it be super expensive?
Thanks for all the great content and it's easy enough for an old car guy to understand. I have not rebuilt an engine since around the late 80s.
Love what you’re doing, and showing! Background music is awesome, spot on!
Good series!
Do you have to rebalance for the heavier rods? What are the limits (tolerance for weight) of the reciprocating mass?
Good question!
I will answer in the video
Love your videos man, you give so much in depth info to what you guys are doing. My question is are you surprised the ol cleeter crew didn’t grenade this thing? Considering there need for maximum power and getting all the bald eagles they possibly can out of an engine. 😂
As always, awesome video! Thank you for all the detail.
Do you think he needs to go dry sump?
Love the technical talk, not just a entertaining RUclips video, it a bit of a lesson aswell haha
Sience & common sense, free for us.
Thanks, Steve Morris
Question: What is the average air speed velocity of a laden swallow?
😂 African or European swallow?
African or European swallow
@@veto8792 I…I don’t know that *ahhhhh*
@@ryans7954 @Veto beat you too it lol
@@dmacpher 🤣
It's only fitting that a mullet is rebuilding a mullet powerplant
My question is. What’s keeping Garrett from running the “SMX” engine?
Dis☝️
Maybe working his way up. Getting confident with each power upgrade. Rather than jumping in a car that runs 7-8sec at 190 to 5-6sec at 200+
Also $$
Smart move IMO
It’s also another step up in cost. SMX is bad ass, but if you don’t need that much motor your just wasting money. Right motor for they car.
@sparky5575 give the mullet man 10k hp and just watch. Something cool is gona happen. It will probably break alot and take years.
@@S.park.yThat’s what I was thinking too. He’s doing a damn good job… just wish he’d put the same effort into tuning Mullet that he does with Leroy. Leroy is most definitely my favorite car, but dang man… he’s neglecting the hell out of Mullet. If he can reach damn near 6 second passes with that 427… I can only imagine what big boy league Mullets big block can really do! Ya know?
Steve's utter confidence in his workmanship, assembly, evolutions to the platform and drive overall to maximize service intervals and maximum power.
Got dang that billet shizz looks the fleas beans, for sho.
Steve, you must be loving doing a vlog on rebuilding the Cleetus motor. It will certainly boost your views on RUclips!
Aaron Brown said you were building an engine for him but it may not be this one. (Aaron is in the process of building a streamliner, so that's what made me think you could be referring to him.) As a kind of "test bed" for a few things for the streamliner, he's building a two seat pro mod type car that may become a drag-n-drive car when he's done using it to test some things for the streamliner. Subscribers to this channel might find "The Garage Shop" as another interesting channel with a variety of race car content.
That's one of the engines for Aaron. I think he has 4 or 5 Noonan hemis that belong to them.
I had the pleasure of meeting Aaron a few years ago, and later getting to see The Garage Shop in person. Super, super cool guy, and his shop puts out some amazing stuff.
I got a question! When are you going to convince him to upgrade to a SMX?
Also a SML for either Leroy or Ruby?
@@1nyga the SML would make more sense for Ruby because its water jacketed, Leroy wouldn't need that anymore since he ain't a street car anymore
How many cycles will the new rods be good for vs old ones
I will answer in the video
I just love watching your videos? Always nice to see that your back is being covered by Dewey! I just love a single camshaft motor. Top Fuel Motors are insane but what you do amazes me equally.
Your approach to camshaft design cannot be beat. When I am watching NPK and they are breaking valve springs pretty often it makes me wonder if you did the camshaft design the horsepower would be there but the reliability would be higher.
Go Steve Go Go Go... 👍😎👍
The reliability of your motors is absolutely incredible.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the pleasant reply.. 👍😎👍
Alan
Everyday is a school day @ Steve Morris engines. Thank you Steve for such wonderfully explained videos. Im 60 yrs old & have been around engines all of my life, 2 stroke moto x then to regular car engines. I have a good knowledge, but man i learn with every video you put out. Thank you again.
Question: You've see the cars, engines and tech the Cleetus channel has got (or chose to not get) into. What's an engine or some racing technology you think they need to try out?
Get a towel
Man I love how this guy is so trust worthy. Hey it's expensive to rebuild these engines! And he goes nope don't need a valve seat cut it's perfect. That crankshaft is perfect, let's put it back! 👌👍honesty and trust in his products! I am really impressed! 👊
The details are everything in these high end builds.
Nice info regarding the valves. i learnt something today, thanx Steve.
I tell you what, after everything that Mullet's engine has been through, taking it apart for the whole world to see is total confidence in your product. An engine builder can't put their neck on the line like that if they don't build an incredible package, and Mullet's engine looked fantastic during teardown.
Great to see you read the comments and noticed some super fans wanted some of the old parts for souvenirs.
Steve thanks for doing this series. Your workmanship is above and beyond. I am grateful for the inside look into what and how you do your craft. Btw Mitch needs a raise! LOL
Thanks for sharing this with us.
would love insight on piston ring setup i/e indexing, end gap, sizes and designs. also would love down the road maybe a deep deep deep dive into how you spec your parts packages.
The view count on these videos is crazy, and i also, when i saw the mullet engine, i watched them all, best of luck, one day i will fly over the ocean and wanth to see cleet in action.
and i learned a lot of those videos also, thumbs up for Steve.
Very great video 👍
Tech noob here, but I really like to watch your work and listen to what you are saying.
We are Movin On UP !!! Nice Stuff Steve... Pa Pa always said , don't fix it if it ain't broke
Only one question really, and it's not related specifically to this particular engine:
Obviously you've done this awhile, blown up some stuff, made some great stuff, learned a bunch. But you couldn't have gotten all of your information from testing (destructive or otherwise!), so who is YOUR go-to person for a given topic? Cams or valvetrain or piston design or port shape or oiling or whatever?
Seems like the best have learned from their tough mistakes, but also from the tough mistakes of others, and it's a blessing that you're so willing to share not only the theory but how that theory gets applied in the real world..... and thanks so much for that!
Nice to see the young man using the overhead crane to move the block around. His back will thank in in 50 years.
I have to say I am very impressed at how clean and organized your shop and machinery is. It just proves that you really take pride in your work!
Steve i have to many questions to ask. Im an engine builder and gear head and have been for 20 years. Im just so stoked to be able to watch you on youtube and soak up any knowledge you have to let out. Your the man! Keep rocking on and being a boss
ive helped my Dad rebuild a dozen engines........
TORQUE PLATE...... i learned a thing!!!!! :D
Tanx For That!!!
Well Steve I’ve been an engine guy my entire life lol watching your vids makes me miss building and assembling them all the time love the channel keep them coming !!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like the "Mullett" Series. This is information I've never seen in practice.
I love how clean your shop is.
Happy to see you got all your likes back. Great work and awesome video...
Thanks for taking the time for putting this out
Awesome to see a local business with this much success! You're shop is right down the road from my house. Keep it up!!
When someone make this stuff look easy and can put a great show on RUclips is no dummy great stuff thanks also you camera helper is great too
Hey Steve, really appreciate the detail you show in your builds, it's invaluable! Could you go into bearing clearances for the mains & crank? Specifically how you gauge how many thousands you'd go tighter/looser on the bearings to gain a specific amount of idle PSI in oil pressure.
I watched the one you did on Mullet with only an oil pan pull. Could you go into more detail on the thinking that goes into why you chose the correction clearances on the bearings that you did? Do you have some sort of thousands vs oil PSI gain/loss scale that you've figured out?
Thanks for sharing the knowledge, it makes power!
You can simulate Car deflection torque(twist), if you use a load cell to measure the forces on the Motor plates in the car, during load, then mount the engine in the lathe using motor plates, and apply (75 - 80% ?) of that same force to the plates for machining. Block torque deflection be measured on a good dyno with motor plates.
Depending on how the car is built, the frame actually transfers force into the block, and the rotational load on the engine might be able to ‘counter’ some of that force - ideally limiting or eliminating that deflection.
The question is: How solid to you have to cradle the motor to prevent it? How involved is the measuring and calculating of all the data to balance the forces out with each other? And is that tiny fraction of machining going to ‘worth it'? It you’re talking about ‘competitive advantage until limitless budget’ Sure, why not?
It would be super interesting to see how much force is transferred through the motor plates, as it would vary car to car on how solid they are built. I’d love to see the difference between block deflection of an aluminum Big Block and a Cast Iron Big Block@ 2000 ? HP. It’s something that you don’t really think about until you get up in the crazy Horsepower Numbers.
Great videos!! Very in formative. A lot different from when I was racing in the 70s.
Awesome video valve lapping was my job back 1996 as the apprentice did a tractor motor for my first strip down and rebuild was ace until if finished to find a lot of spare bolts and nuts lol my mentor was topping up my tray 😂 the joys of being the youngest 😂
Love the little details he talks about!
That super build, sounds cool, how the heck did it spin that them gernales are huge, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
What a radical mullet….killing it my man
Wait wait wait... there's a fella with a mullet putting together Mullet's engine at Stve Morris' shop?! How badass
Absolutely love all the content that's coming from your shop Steve, and one day where gunna get a smile out of Mitch. All the best to the team.
What was the reason for not wanting to use a dry sump setup? Obviously they were aiming for 6's, which is why they got an engine from you. 6's mean 200+ mph. Know there would be oil starvation on shut down or anywhere the throttle is blipped. I just figured Dry sump would've been the go to.
thank you Steve for sharing all this info ! sooo much knowledge being shared and all the more reason to make one get their parts from you !
I love these videos and the details he shows and goes through! Great stuff!
my bro mullet the chad is skillfull, enjoy watching the man work.
Steve! I wish I knew what you've forgotten about engine building! 👍👍
