The amount of knowledge steve has astounds me and im happy he makes these videos for us to keep us all informed

@adamtheninjasmith2985 10 ай бұрын

His willingness to share with us the knowledge that has taken years for him to gain is uncanny. Historically speaking engine builders (and transmission or chassis guys or whatever) kept so much information top secret to keep their edge. Literal armed guards and security dogs in the pro stock world. There are upsides and downsides to that security and containment of knowledge. I think what Steve understands is that the more he shares the more he learns. More feedback, more ideas from more brains and more trial and error. Like my dad he's the kind of guy who takes delight in learning even simple stuff from any source he can get and is willing to share it with the next guy because of it. It's all about being reciprocal.

Amazing how Steve just gives this kind of knowledge away on You Tube. Back in the day if you wanted to learn this kind of stuff you'd have to get a job with a Pro Mod team, and most likely that team would be in So-Cal or Indiana so you'd have to move to move there if you didn't live in those areas to have said job.

I was just waiting for a chunk to bust off that head while hammering. I know it’s necessary to do it right, I do it all the time myself. However, that still runs through my mind every time. Welding cast (well any aluminum really) aluminum is not an easy thing to do well. It’s taken many years of trial and error and the drive to always try to improve no matter how amazing we might think we are. Nice work! As a welder, machinist and engine builder....none as my career, I really enjoyed this one.

Your “beating it” between welding is called Peening. Hence “ball peen” hammers got their name. It’s work hardening to induce surface stress and prevents cracks to form on surfaces. I’m sure you know that already but is actually what I do as a job in aviation manufacturing. It extends life cycles on parts by this method.

Thx Steve, learning again. When I weld cast metals I peen the welds to relieve stress since welding shrinks the metal a little, reduces cracking.

@sendit9129 10 ай бұрын

Its all about the attention to *necessary* details. So many people focus on the aesthetic of a build or repair that they normally fall short of focusing on the function of it. You explaining what IS important, vs what is NOT important shows you're not trying to impress us with "flash", but focused on the only thing that is important, the results.

Interesting about the head stud failure. I just took a broken name brand head stud out of a turbo'd LS this week. It blew a head gasket on the dyno and they couldn't work out why, until the stud broke whilst tightening the head down with the new gasket. I've done several broken new head bolts and studs over the last 12 months for clients. All from different OE and after market manufacturers. Some of these failures have occurred way before the fastener has got anywhere near torque. Great video Steve. Regards Greg

I have copper orings and the pro seal gasket on my honda. Granted not huge power but its only a 1.6 sohc at 502 whp stock sleeves. Supposed to help if their is slight head lift to keep the fire in. My engine is known for head lift with timing on stock size head studs. I don't know if it's helping but a year of weekend driving and a handful of track days so far so good. Might be my tuner not the oring.

Okay, as a machinist that originally started off with all manual machines and now I run a mix of CNC. I run a doosan 4500 and a few different hossas. But I still use the manual machines for one off parts or specialty things. That just doesn't make sense to write an entire program for and usually I can complete quicker than they can even write the program. So having manual machines around maybe antiquated for some they're a valid machine in any shop even today. The hard thing is finding people that are good at them because kids just are not being taught manual machines anymore
