I was a professional mechanic for thirty five years in that time I was also a professional crew chief for a top sportsman drag racing team. I had the pleasure of working with one of the best mountain motor builders Sonny Leonard. I was a sponge when we would talk engines. Well now after watching Gales video like a addiction if I could go back in time I would have hounded gale for a job until he hires me. The test they do at banks is unmatched except maybe at the manufacture. They find hard core data for all things going on in the engine that most don’t even know exist. Gale has answered so many questions I had because all my life I have messed with engines to make more power efficiently. Thank you Gale from a fellow horse power addict.

I wish I would have paid attention when me and Grandpa built our first Banks diesel. now my grandpa is done passed away and the 2001 dually Duramax is gone. Mr Banks is still here, give me hope, and the tools to provide high horsepower into the future. I know I don't have to have smoke, I know that every horsepower that I make is clean, I make pure horsepower on a perfect air to fuel ratio that Mr Banks taught all of us what's the only way to make true horsepower clean, smoke is horsepower left at the starting line. Thank you Mr Banks for bringing me and my grandpa a little closer together. He may have passed, but his memory ask philosophy is still here. I wasn't very amazing but it was the first time I ever seen a diesel burn the tires off. And it was a 2001 Chevrolet 1 ton dually with Duramax with all the banks at Bolton's he could get.. me and Grandpa Bill both did everything up in the garage or the pole barn.

Oh my god! Late to the party, but what a comprehensive lecture on a seemingly "secret" topic. I'm looking into a mild diesel cam for a small 2.0 euro diesel, and have been watching endless V8 petrol lectures, and trying to transfer that over to diesel. Thankfully I pulled out my Joe Pettitt diesel performance book and read up the part from Gale about NOT messing up the intake port swirl before going to town with the porting tool. Now when I'm trying to weigh up a cam I stumble across this GEM of a lecture, and learnt so much in the last 47 minutes it's staggering, gonna have to watch this a few times. Thank you Gale, I've learnt so very much from you since getting my first diesel in 2008, and even though you specialise in bigger diesels, I've been able to half my 0-100 time in my tiny euro diesel thanks to applying all the things you talk about, and focusing on things like flow and density rather than pressure and temps you typically do in forced induction. Oh to have but a fraction of the data logging equipment you have at your fingertips!!

@@zuestoots5176 You will actually make more power when some soot is present vs none. Gale even mentioned that in this exact video. The reason you can make more power is you increase your chances of burning all the oxygen in the cylinder vs Gales method of spraying just enough fuel so that there is always some leftover oxygen insuring complete fuel combustion. If you were to look at drag racing in a fuel only difference, gas vs diesel, at the exact same AFR your gas car can run much richer without soot being present. This is why gas cars can get away with making maximum power out of the available oxygen in the cylinder but a diesel cannot. It's the diesel fuel itself that makes the soot occur and It's also why a diesel engine needs the intake air to swirl as it goes into the cylinder. As gale also mentioned in this video if we get close to Stoich for diesel, 14.5 AFR, you'll have a soot cloud! Where as gasoline has an even learner Stoich value of 14.7, yet max power on turbo gasoline applications is around 11.9-12.5 AFR and it happens without any real soot production. We can't really see the wasted gasoline as soot so no one seems to care, but since you can with a diesel it's time for people to be upset. I'm not pro soot i'm pro education, if you hate being inefficient then hate it, but hate equally.

@@jedidethfreak Currently only Koenigsegg uses it, I think. Indy racing uses a version of it with pneumatically actuated valves in their engines. If a lifter rolling (or sliding) along the surface of the cam lobes pushing the pushrods up into the rocker arm which then slides across the top of a valve stem to open a valve doesn't sound complex and antiquated, it should. But it's been reliable despite its complexity and number of parts involved. The freevalve technology has been around longer than people realize. I don't see any reason that it can't prove just as reliable. But change to newer and better ideas often takes a long time to take hold. Plus I think the Koenigsegg version is patented by him, and he's keeping it exclusive to his exotic supercars.

Cummins and Siemens played around with soleniod actuated valves back in the 80's, and a few other manufacturers have played around with electro-hydraulically operated. It's all great in the lab, when things like owners missing or ignoring oil and filter changes, using cheap oils etc doesn't happen, but manufacturers have to also warranty their equipment, and that means rock solid reliability, which probably tells you why free valves haven't taken off. As we've seen with variable cam timing, it's all great till the owner neglects maintenence...

I have a slight pet peeve though. starting around 24:25 , he is talking about the LST tech in the cam he ordered, which im sure it has, HOWEVER you are trying to show us a video comparing apples and oranges. First the left side is played back at a higher speed making the spring seem more out of control and the video on the left is using a beehive spring which is known to reduce the harmonics in the spring. Both of these combined make a drastically different appearing valve spring control that is just not honest.

I didn't get this level of tuition in over 4 years at college in motor vehicle mechanics courses, sure they covered the absolute basics, but I had to go hunting down old books if I wanted this level of information, and this sure made my mind spin back to those days. I always thought graphs were easier to understand than a bunch of numbers, this video confirmed that for me.

I loved what Willy Dunn had to say about Gales knowledge. I agree immensely. Thanks guys

Dang, did comp take my idea??? I called them concerned about valve opening speed /ramp profile. No cams spec this... they didnt have info for me so I had roger vinci build me a cam. He knew exactly what I was talking about. I didnt want some extreme ramp profile on my cam that just beats up my valves. Had a number of other concemerns. Like low end torque etc. I see your talking about some of this stufff... like I discussed with roger a few years ago. Cam turned out awesome!

Once again excellent and informative video Gale. I don't even own a diesel truck right now and I'm just fascinated with this series. I have to say that after watching all these engineering videos about the Duramax (or the diff covers which cracked me up and sucked me into the channel), if I ever purchase upgrades for any of my engines, gas or diesel, I'll be looking to see if Banks offers something first. Nobody else talks about swirl, squish, why all the cam profile metrics matter, hot side vs. cold size pressure ratio, etc., which speaks to how reliable the machine will be when parts and tunes are changed. The OEMs design this same way, or if they don't, they ought to. With a Banks upgrade you're probably going to suffer some shortened lifespan just because everything is under more strain with the power increases, but not nearly as much as other manufacturers and tuners who may actually straight up destroy your engine prematurely. I mean, this guys is getting a reliable 1000+ HP out of a stock bottom end, stock head gaskets and stock head studs. That's pretty damn impressive.

Extraordinarily clear and succinct teaching such as this indicates MASTERY of the knowledge domain. Mr. Banks, who probably considers himself more of a student than a master, is a treasure!

Mr banks always nails it. All those numbers and ratios always makes sense. All of it is common sense. I have only hs education but the way he breaks it down needs no further explanation.

Excellent video Dale, what you don't mention is the squish forces the swirl to speed up as you reduce the diameter like a ice skater speeds up, all this is based on the works of Harry Ricardo really the God of Diesel engine fundemental theory.
