Crazy to me what you you do to fix these things man. Truly impressive to watch this.

amazing work Gerald!! saving the meaux racing heads again

Mr Brand is surgical on the big blue lightning bolt machine, turning junk to jewelry!!!!

Thank you Gerald, true craftsmanship is hard to find!!

Awesome work. Nice to see someone fix stuff instead of throwing it away and buying new.

Great Footage, a true pro craftsman at work...

A man with SKILLS!

Always super interesting watching you work your magic Gerald!!👍👍👍

Gerald, love watching this type of work. Thanks for showing us. Perfect job. Those look like Larry Meaux, is the porter. He messaged me last week. Old school cool like you. 👍👍

Gerald and Ruby y'all rock! Love seeing the master do his thing. Thanks Jackie for editing. Peace

I am impressed by how you just dove in on this one! Nice work Gerald. Im sure the head porting guy is glad not to do that repair! And I like the logo at the beginning, too.

It’s amazing. Watching an artist at work.

Thank you Mr Brand for another great Video , i started showing your Vids to my Mechanics at my shop and they all ask is there any new videos from BRE , thats a wonderful thing Mr Brand to grab the attention of the Generation of techs i have working for me now compared to 37yrs ago....

Well done sir. I love watching these post. All sorts of engine builds all over KZfaq but there is only a select few ppl that will do repairs like this anymore. Thabks for sharing this with us.

I can't begin to explain how impressed I am with your work. You are a master machinist and artist! And humble....

Nice work brother keep it coming I love watching you do your magic and you attention to detail ❤

Nice work. I have done something similar to a cast iron head. Aluminum is a little easier to repair, but still a lot of precision work. We have used the 30 degree bowl hog as a top dresser for the seat blend into the chamber. It closely mimics the typical Newen seat extension into the chamber.

Beautiful finish, I got an Edelbrock head that gotten a terrible weld job done to it :( and I might be stuck dealing with shaping the chamber. So this video should help me out when it comes to that.

Found your attachment of the dial indicator to the quill / touching off the deck, to get the seat depth, brilliant for the simplicity. Thanks for sharing.

A true Artist you are Mr. Brand this takes talent anything can be fixed but in the wrong shop they are never the same after being fixed you sir are a master of your craft!

That was some pretty nice work Gerald!

Always love watching you work

Unbelievably skilled. Awesome work Gerald

Great work buddy! Love to watch you doing these videos!

so impressive , sure wish I knew you back in my racin days bud... you finesse back to like new what others would have given up on... love seeing this Kuddos to you

How could all that work be cheaper than just buying new heads. That was an amazing job

...awesome video, Gerald ! Thanks for sharing !...

Beautiful work

Glad I found this channel I’m learning so much!!

The dark arts of head repair will always be amazing to me. This is so satisfying to watch. And I always think no way can those heads be fixed and wam bam thank you mam you do it again! ❤

Great video!!! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Keep'em coming!

Thanks for the video Gerald.

You Tube gives me the opportunity to learn so much about so many topics. I enjoyed your video. Amazing work!

Thank you for posting every awesome videos. Everything what you do is like a Magic to me !. Keep on coming !.

Great video I really enjoy the ones like this they show off your skills. Please make more like this.

This kind of machinist work has always greatly intrigued me. Tho my life’s journey has unfolded into transportation HVAC repair, I’ve often wondered how I would have fared within the machinists community.

Outstanding work.

Killer work Mr. Brand. Really impressive.

Beautiful work!!!

Nice work!

That is some awesome machine work brother hats off

Happy Thanksgiving Gerald... it's amazing how you took what looked like junk to me and turned em into like new heads

Very nice job. Look brand new.😊.

Masterful work 👌

You've just proved once again you da man when it comes to engine Gerald Chief thinks so and so does Damon keep doing what you do Sir it's perfect

Love your content, very interesting and educational.

Nice work and just a good guy. Definitely cares.

I always enjoy your video's.

What a talented man & gentleman to do business with…

That's good work. You're a wizard! 🍻🇺🇲

Great work

Awesome video. That was impressive.

Great video!

HELLO GERALD LOVE YOUR WORK BROTHER.

Good job buddy!!

Amazing talent!!!

nice job on that repair!

Amazing!

Eine wirklich gute Handwerkskunst, wen die Hand zur CNC wird.👍

Clean fix.

Awesome work keep it up

I remember 25-30yrs ago you could find hardly anyone that could weld cast! Aluminum heads was pretty pricey back then!

If only the rest of that grenade was so easily repaired. Damn nice work.

I have a set of Dart 345's and they are good heads. Even better when they're ported.

nice work man

Very nice job Gerald. Thanks for sharing the process. Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice work

Gerald I could watch you do this all day you have a Happy Thanksgiving and we'll see you in a couple of weeks

Those heads look real familiar

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Man this was cool to watch!!!!

That’s pretty cool what you can save that would appear to be scrape.

beautiful work, most people woulda made wall art out of those

Awesome!!

Wooooww.... Back from the dead. That thing is back as new.

Culasse moteur condamnée 😢😢 Sauvée.... Bravo 👏👏👏

Love to see it

Ruby got you a new subscriber 👍😉✌️

Way badass!!

Larry meaux was the guy to go to in Louisiana for years

I guess not many people read the video description, shame I live in Australia because I would love to work with you Gerald. It would a great opportunity to learn a lot more about machining. I guess someone will read it eventually. LOL.

Brodix repaired my bb3x head after a valve went through a piston. Lots of damage to head. 8 weeks later it's hard to find where it was fixed. Nice work,delived on time as promised.

Impressive work! Do you work on Corvair heads?

There's just something about watching someone restoring something back to it's glory and being better than it would be when bought. I'm sure you run tighter tolerances than most. TY for sharing! Awesome graphics on the Brand brand intro? 🤔. Did I type that right?

Welder here....but never done alum heads....surprised you don't bolt the head down in some sort of jig to minimize warping.....doing it that way how much warpage do you have to deal with ? In my job we do everything possible to minimize warpage ...keep it down to .010

Thanks

I my drag racing days I seen a pro stock head let go and there was a cyl missing and was welded up I've never seen welding that could fix it but they were amazing stuff

Magician!

Beautiful work. What kind of TIG rod are you using?

The old "how do the heads look?" Well sir, have you ever dropped a fork down your garbage disposal? Nice repair work!!!

WOW!

Gerald amazing the will to fix things is strong. same with me, question sir where is the line when its not cost affective.and just buy a new set of heads

Real interesting. Thanks for posting this. What filler rod do you use?

That’s amazing work, I did wonder does it hurt anything when u cut in new seats that the aluminum between them cracks out with the new seats in? I wasn’t sure if it mattered or not, I guess I was worried they might crack further down but I’m not sure. I have a set of aluminum brodix heads thAt have 2.02/ 1.6 valves but need repaired so I wasn’t sure if it’s worth fixing.

Wish had a Gerald near by to machine blocks and heads for me. I have many to build.

I have 2 sets of 18° gm sm. Blk. heads. I guess thd old Nascar ones gm had. Building a dragrace motor. There are a couple cracks down in the cylinder walks where thd valves go. Local shops here say they are junk and not worth fixing but I've had engine builders say otherwise. I really want to use these heads on a new 377 combination. There were off a dirt car from what I was told and one of the problems I believe was the fact they have been ported to many times?? What do you think?? They came with a. set of t&d shaft rocker setup and alll the roller lifters and valves with one bent exhaust valve. The valves measured 2.20 which seems awful big but they are sll like brand new! Are they fixable????

O i need to get thr lathes mills and scopes to start doing this kind of stuff.

Amazing Craftsmanship.

🎉🎉 GREAT 👍🎉🎉

An older Wera brand Allen wrench. Recognize one anywhere. Love them concave flats they have!
