Waw, all my respect to these folks, this is probably what the best-specialized combustion engine Shops will look like in 50 years when electric vehicles are commonplace and there are few people who know how to work on a good old school petrol or diesel engine.
"There's never been a Chevrolet LS engine in this building. Anybody can do that"... Those are the true words of a legendary California engine building company that thinks outside-the-box, because they've seen-it-all.
I had no idea Edd Pink had expanded from drag racing☹️(Iam a child of the 70's) It's brilliant that they have spread their expertise across a wide variety of engines.👍
These guys must love what they do... most of them look like they could've retired a while ago. If I were younger... I'd love to apprentice under this company.
Ed Pink Racing Engines, where priceless machinery goes to be performance prepped & rebuilt. One of americas finest specialists by far and a very very special place.
I truly admire you guys for keeping these engines and cars alive, putting in the extreme amount of detail and precision to breathe life back into these carbs and intakes. This sort of work is a specialty, and I hope you can extend this knowledge onto any of the younger generation willing to pick up the trade.
30 years ago I apprenticed myself at 18 years old for 18 months or so to a race engine builder who built Cammers in the 60's with Les Ritchey - Cliff Brien - his name is on 1/4 panel of Gas Rhonda's 65 AFX Cammer Stang... He would tell racers I will call you when the engine is ready... If they called he would say, you get one warning... you can come pick it up exactly as it sits if you call me again.
What Frank kept repeating; knowledge, work ethic, experience, pride, these are the things the current generations are missing alot of. They have that, "I need it now" or "I deserve it" mentality. Instead of learning and earning it. Skills are learned over time, honed through exercise, perfected through mastery. This is what differentiates earning a living and a job at a fast food joint. These people are not in it for the money, they are in it for the love of building something.
When the general manager/president state "there is no cellphones, because our worker is so passionate with their job", you know he's the one who put the law for no cellphone in the building.
Dream factory. I would love to work there, but I would never be competent enough to meet their requirements. I would need another two lifetimes to reach that level. This is an excellent video and I would hope for more like this. Thank you Petrolicious.
Fantastic!! Nice departure from your norm Close friend worked there. It’s no wonder he’s in high demand $$. Wish more people strived for greatness 😎👍🏆🏁
Without a doubt Petrolicious may be the number 1 automotive channel in youtube because of it's unique format to showcase the passion of petrolheads matched by very artistic video footages. So please Petrolicious don't be another common Top Gear channel. Enough of subjective opinions of presenters test driving cars we dream of.
Some ballsy statements here and there but I'm willing to believe them. Singer Porsches are renowned for their exquisite engines and that says something about Pink's legacy and what those guys can achieve.
Work on stuff that scares the heck out of guys that think they're professional engine builders.. That's the best line! Gotta be great working on stuff for people with $$$.
Dear petrolicious, please make a video with a maserati granturismo, the sound of that car + your cinematography will make it the best video you'll ever have
There must be a line of young guys looking to work at this shop. Let's hope a few of them get hired, so the veteran employees' vast knowledge will be passed on.
While there's value in doing the same process to LS motors EPRE gets many more $ working on the rare goods. They don't have that stock of old unobtainium just to gather dust in the back room. Millionaires have fast LS's, billionaires have concurs 917s
But that's the thing... It takes less skill to build a LS engine vs a cosworth Dfv......... But the Yanky Ls community walk and talk as if their Pual Rosche.....
Its not that serious. Everything doesn't mean full disrespect. He was talking about the RARITY of those motors. Factually, unequivocally LSs are not rare by any stretch of anyones wildest imagination.
@@jareknowak8712 I didn't take the time to look up those stats, but I think you are wrong there, too. It doesn't matter because he wasn't talking about even Porsche motors ( even then, that would include only 1 motor design of the several they offer) we are talking about 1 of 5 , 1 of 20 maybe , rare, race motors. Apples and hand grenades, not the same thing , ya know?
Thats a good question. Probably chasing down a worthless degree, complaining about how expensive their degree was, trying to find a career while working a dead end job, all the while blaming the government for the position they have put themselves in, all for an education that was wasted in classes like feminist marxism/ why the western world is bad/ how to oppress others while complaining about how oppressed you are
I'm guessing they get applications all the time, but openings are few and far between.....they probably won't even consider anyone without 20yrs experience at a high level of work.
@@gordythecreator Maybe not...if you're a youngster and are interested in them...then write to them and ask what you need to do to work for them...there's no harm in trying and they seem like decent guys who might help/advise you. :)
He never said he hated cell phones. He merely pointed out that his employees understand work is work, play is play. The two dont mix when dealing with $100k+ engines.

Electric cars are cringe. It'll be a sad day when they become as commonplace as a Civic today.
Excellent and inspiring. Please do more like this one.
"There's never been a Chevrolet LS engine in this building. Anybody can do that"... Those are the true words of a legendary California engine building company that thinks outside-the-box, because they've seen-it-all.
I’ve been in automotive for all most 35 years and these guys got it right, I would volunteer my my time just to experience it, amazing
Amazing stuff. I work for a print shop that started in 1911 with the same mentality, that’s why we are still open and why I work there.
I had no idea Edd Pink had expanded from drag racing☹️(Iam a child of the 70's)

I’m 20 & believe me I wish I could rn
And you never worked a day in your life
Beautiful. And this is why nobody will ever, EVER, get excited by electric vehicles.
Thanks for continuing to produce videos of the caliber we came to expect from Petrolicious!
Ed Pink Racing Engines, where priceless machinery goes to be performance prepped & rebuilt. One of americas finest specialists by far and a very very special place.
I've had an extensive career in executive management and I would love to hang up my hat and be a trainee with these chaps :)
Porsche 962 has to be one of the crowning achievements of Ed Pink racing engines. The story is unreal
I thought I recognized the name, then I realized he literally wrote the book on Datsun L series engines. I even went and looked at my copy to check!
Awesome engines and enjoying the video. Can’t believe I’m the first comment for once. :)
Congrats. You thought about this first. Maybe one day we can own one. Unless you already have one.
I truly admire you guys for keeping these engines and cars alive, putting in the extreme amount of detail and precision to breathe life back into these carbs and intakes. This sort of work is a specialty, and I hope you can extend this knowledge onto any of the younger generation willing to pick up the trade.
Everything about this is perfection!
Absolutely stunning company. I like your ethics, attention to detail, focus, dedication... All that leads to superior products. Well done 👍🏻
True understanding and a tendency to strive for perfection is such a beautiful mixture
Love it, the dedication and passion, not just building engines for money but personally taking a pride in each one.
My dream is to one day own a Porsche that I can get my engine built by these guys. So awesome! Love that American manufacturing excellence!
Great to see a Cammer (Pontiac OHC 6 ) getting rebuilt!, Not many shops know the in's and out's of this little high reviving OHC.
It's a pleasure and honor to see pure craftsmanship!
Artist at work!

Great piece!! Much more interesting format and subject than the Quattro piece.
such purity, strength and focus, so rare today

Ahhh finally 😍, the way I know Petrolicious! So inspiring.
Excelent video!!! true pasion for engines...
Great story, as usual. Thank you
Great video! Plus the last comment made, really put a smile on my face.
What a pleasure to see so many people with gray hairs working in the shop.
When the general manager/president state "there is no cellphones, because our worker is so passionate with their job", you know he's the one who put the law for no cellphone in the building.
EXCELLENCE. Will bring you success in any venture you pursue.

They all are also humans.
They do human things.
Why You think You can do it?
How many lifes they had to learn?
@@jareknowak8712 I am 80 years old.
I have rebuilt a number of engines.
I know my limitations.
I don't know how many lifetimes they had.
the channel will make me crazyyyyyy ( i love it )
Fantastic!!
Nice departure from your norm
Close friend worked there. It’s no wonder he’s in high demand $$. Wish more people strived for greatness 😎👍🏆🏁
Great company and people. I would love to hear more from that engine in the 911 in the intro 👍🏼
Anybody else notice the bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil and the engine Dyno room? I love that stuff great for lubricating and cleaning.
Inspiring. Thanks for the content.
Just to know they build the engines for Singer is the only thing I need to know. Those engines are art.
Brilliant. Well done.
Absolutely fantastic.
This was great 👍
Fantastic video. Huge !
Just beautiful!
What I wouldn't give to work there!
You can never do enough videos the various Singer Porsches.
Without a doubt Petrolicious may be the number 1 automotive channel in youtube because of it's unique format to showcase the passion of petrolheads matched by very artistic video footages. So please Petrolicious don't be another common Top Gear channel. Enough of subjective opinions of presenters test driving cars we dream of.
This video made me happy
mechanical works of art!
Some ballsy statements here and there but I'm willing to believe them. Singer Porsches are renowned for their exquisite engines and that says something about Pink's legacy and what those guys can achieve.
There’s never been an LS engine in this building” pure mopar guy gold.
This is Petrolicious ! Not more, not any less.
Very cool!
Mind bending 😍
Lol..never seen an LS! Awesome! Craftsmanship
I want to work there!
Work on stuff that scares the heck out of guys that think they're professional engine builders.. That's the best line! Gotta be great working on stuff for people with $$$.
I retire what I said in one of the previous videos. They seem to be committed to keep petrolicious as good as it was
will there be a vid of that black Porsche, God it's a beauty 😍
Yes, Petrolicious posted the video months ago ruclips.net/video/AxEzJ-jjFb0/видео.html
This guy sounds just like the character ‘Noah Vosen’ from the Bourne Ultimatum.
Inspiring you need to do more videos
SoCal automotive legends.
Dear petrolicious, please make a video with a maserati granturismo, the sound of that car + your cinematography will make it the best video you'll ever have
✊🏾❤️✊🏾
beautiful
"There's never been a Chevy LS in this building"
Prominently shows a Gen 1 Small Block Chevy throughout the video........but that's different.
Completely
LS is a good engine but you dont need a master mechanic to rebuild it everyone with average mechanic knowledge can do it that is a point here.
Ed Pink:you won't see guys with their cell phones out on their desks
Also Ed Pink: 7:10
That’s my dream job.
1:58 what track is that?
Sad to see his iconic shop being torn down
Yep. Like that.
There must be a line of young guys looking to work at this shop. Let's hope a few of them get hired, so the veteran employees' vast knowledge will be passed on.
this is a dream
✌️
any cryo work ?
you know it's a work shop, when there's a calendar girl pinned up on the wall.
A manufacturing floor as it should be. No robotics. Lots of CNC. I spotted an old Bridgeport.
Wow
neato
anyone can build an LS ...exactly
While there's value in doing the same process to LS motors EPRE gets many more $ working on the rare goods. They don't have that stock of old unobtainium just to gather dust in the back room. Millionaires have fast LS's, billionaires have concurs 917s
This is definitely a dying breed
First good Petrolicious after Petrolicious.
Fix the audio!!!
A hemi is a hemi right🥸?
How many people here want to pay to work there?
So not a place to bring my 5.3 iron block to get a Ebay turbo installed.
Just wanted yall to know that there was a two minutes worth of unskippable ads before this video causing me not to watch it haha
Hate how Singer demolish old Porsche 911
WTF IS WITH THE MUSIC ! ...GET RID !..WE WANT HEAR YOU NOT MUSIC ! .
The last judgment about LS builders really tells you everything you need to know. It’s a shame to not respect the skills others also possess.
But that's the thing... It takes less skill to build a LS engine vs a cosworth Dfv......... But the Yanky Ls community walk and talk as if their Pual Rosche.....
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo i think that even LS can be done two ways: good and excellent.
Btw, im not an LS owner.
Its not that serious. Everything doesn't mean full disrespect. He was talking about the RARITY of those motors. Factually, unequivocally LSs are not rare by any stretch of anyones wildest imagination.
@@jackolson8775
World is not only America.
In Europe there are more Porshes than LS engines, LS are more exotic than Porsches.

Experience and expertise is great but most the employees look in their 60s and 70s. Where is the future of this company?

@@SgtSeth And doing all of it with their face buried in their f@&$*#% cell phone.
Hey OLD DUDES! You need to pick out an APPRENTICE! Don't just be a grumpy ol'man. Hunt for intelligence
I'm guessing they get applications all the time, but openings are few and far between.....they probably won't even consider anyone without 20yrs experience at a high level of work.
You're probably rt. It's one of those jobs, you can only get-in if you "know someone important".

Dude hates cellphones and has a monitor from 1990 on his desk.
The first thing he wanted to tell you about his shop was that there's no cellphones.
He never said he hated cell phones. He merely pointed out that his employees understand work is work, play is play. The two dont mix when dealing with $100k+ engines.
you know the 911 is the only true sport car.
what happens when electric cars take over? (just asking for a friend Elon)
@0:18 Do you know how distracting it is to be in a strip club with a heavy freight passing by doing 70 and having a car do a dynamic run???
