Finally! Now I know what to do when I buy my 10 000hp blower, thank you!

This is so cool! In a world that considers everything a consumable, it's nice to see someone putting in work to save something. It's a lost art.

This is a lost art that needs to be passed down. Thanks Rob

Instead of "How It's Made" they should make "How It's Maintained". You don't really think about this kind of maintenance on things until you get a random KZfaq recommendation. Very well constructed video, informational and top notch commentary.

Rob, you're a true craftsman. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great lessons like these are dieing every day.

Stuff like this is what makes KZfaq awesome. I'll never need to rebuild a top fuel blower but I enjoyed every second of this informative video. Great job. Thanks for posting!

I like that PROFESSIONAL description of the high-performance material "what we call PLASTIC!"...lol! Hahaha

This is absolutely amazing. I was well aware the plastics had to be changed from time to time but I had no idea what all was involved in getting it right. Love this!!!

Holy hell the size of this beast is a monstrosity

DEFINITELY not long winded!! LOVE this stuff! seeing PSI, vs. JFR, etc. is really cool (and JFR, or Prock anyway, have the guys restrip EVERY pass is crazy) -- back about 8-10 years back. 🤘🏻🤙🏼😊

Beautiful. It still astonishes me that 10,000 HP can be pulled out of An engine.

Seeing those end pieces I now see how fidget spinners where discovered 😄

Dude! You’re SO good at explaining how things work and what you’re doing. Awesome video!

I stumbled across your videos a couple days ago and I can not stop watching. I love understanding the fine details of how they work, including tools used. Love the videos and keep them coming.

Great video! Now that is your old school hot-rod talent. I hate throwing high end equipment on the scrap pile just because it’s got a little ding on it. Good save.

Man, working on these cars is my dream job. Thanks for sharing!

Love this stuff. So damn interesting and I just have so much respect for your craftsmanship and absolute knowledge. I make it a point to enjoy the hell out of men of knowledge like you because as with everything you work on you are finite as well and the day will come when no more men like you exist. Only machines.

Im liking how you know when my little bit of freetime is....

I am so glad I clicked on your 11000 hp block repair video..I have watched 3 of them and had to suscribe right away..this is good stuff !

Thank you Rob for taking the time to show us what it takes.

Great info, the second I pondered what the seals were made of, you said it. Thanks for sharing this!

Awesome video and full of knowledge, i have seen a couple re-built in person and the difference between a worn one and refreshed is wild but its like anything precision it has to be done right and that takes time and knowledge

Awesome vid,I never knew they had replaceable seals on the rotors,last time I saw inside a blower I was a kid and didn,t pay too much attention,I always thought they were metal on metal even though I knew that would be harsh,and I had never thought about the ID seals either,so I,ve learnt a lot in the last 15 minutes,and even though I,ve put a few chev and fords smallblocks together,installed cams,valves,timing and everything else to do with engines,clutches and gearboxes,I've never had anything to do with supercharges,so thankyou for showing us and for the commentary and explanations and visuals. Awesome. Best wishes from,Auckland,New Zealand ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍💯🙂🙂😉😉

I built blowers for 671s way back when and understand the headache of setting gaps. THANK YOU SIR FOR REFRESHING MY PAST!!!

Just found your channel by a KZfaq recommendation but let me tell you I'm enjoying your videos and learning a bit more about this topic which I don't know much but it definitely iss very interesting.

This is awesome. We hear the word supercharger all the time, but I'm only an engineer, so it's good to see what it's all about.

Just found your channel. Good stuff! Well spoken and you clearly explain what youre doing

Great video Rob. Really want to put a blower back on my car now. Those things just suck you back into them.... I'll be here all week folks 😋

Since those blowers aren’t exactly cheap, I’m sure the work you put into saving these components doesn’t go unappreciated since it probably helps the race teams save a good bit of money versus having to put a brand new blower on their engine.

Thank you greatly for your video's!! We love the knowledge you share and that blower might support enough air for my Briggs 8hp lol... all jokes aside thanks for taking your time to share the knowledge and experience you have!!

Years ago I used to volunteer as a crewman on several different Top Sportsman Dragsters and Alcohol Funny cars and remember the mad thrash of re-stripping the “good” blower between rounds on an old folding table next to the car trailer.

That OD cutter is awesome!

Oh it's like an apex seal kinda? I've seen small rotary engines and that's all I could think of. New subscriber here, started with building small engines (lawnmowers, miniature pulling tractors) I work on passenger vehicles now. My neighbor has a late model for the dirt track and when I saw his dry sump I needed to know more. I know Top Fuel is way different but man, you've answered so many questions I've had so far, especially about the rear end... I knew those things had to be SUPER narrow. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy every minute of them

Very interesting on the steps and do’s and dont’s. Thank you for sharing this.

First of all I would like to say big in the fabrication industry my whole life with wood metal and everything in between I'm in my 50s it's a pleasure to it's a pleasure to watch you. Kind of funny I was the first person to go to Frank Holly's drag racing school from the West Coast when the school opened up its original year. My my phone right now but I'm going to get in touch with you I might have a project you might be interested in I don't know can't be told no unless you ask I've learned that after all my years of working. Be in touch soon hope you have a great weekend

Excellent doc on procedure and tech... would love to build a cutter for use in the shop/build room!!! Thank you for the upper echelon's r&r.... Seth

Bro, I know just how you feel! I installed a cold air intake on my Honda Civic and the box said I’ll get “up to” 15hp and…. yeah… I’d say that’s true! 🤓

Just found your channel and you definitely earned my subscribe!!! You have so much knowledge and it just feeds my soul!!!!

True mechanic, love watching techs as yourself. It shows me to just get in there and do it, whatever the job may be. 👍

Very good coverage. Never thought about so many details for such a simple thing. Thumbs up.

The sand paper scratching method is pretty cool. It seems a lot like a guide coat when doing paint work. Good tip

It is crazy that that is the most efficient way to blow air into an engine, you would think something like a fan blade or turbine from a traditional blower would be the best way. Pretty cool somebody figured that out

Good stuff. Thanks for your knowledge.

What a awesome thing glad you saved it wasn't really alot wrong but on the right hands it's back in service

Nice job I learned quite a bit thank you very much continued success.

Lovely workshop; great to see a professional doing precision work

The first shop I worked at was right off the Mississippi and we'd get engine work from the workhorses pushing barges. We spray welded the shaft to build up and turn down and it too was from a 10,000hp blower, except the lobes of this guy were about 18" in diameter. It was a sight watching that huge part spin with a madman wearing torch glasses blowing a three foot flame into the fucking thing.

Man you have the coolest job!

Wow I sure am glad to have come across your channel sir ! Very detailed, and you have a lot of passion for what your doing. Thanks for the videos!!

never saw the inside of a blower before. awesome and thanks!

I loved this I actually feel like I couldn't do it now. Very informative thank you. Definitely subscribed now

That was amazing ! ! Right tool for the right job... I caught myself with my jaw dropped when you were in there with an air drum sander. Yikes. Great tip on the scratches with the 36 grit. Thanks for that. It's funny, speaking of tools...my wife asks me all the time "think you got enough tools"? 5 tool boxes. I tell her NO! I am no pro and don't work on stuff for a living, but I do all our own work from mowers, motorcycles, Mustang, Avalanche, a freaking Fiat500, my 65 Chevy racecar and 2 trailers. Right tool for the job at hand and so...NO, I don't have all I need and I learn more every week and so need the tool for something truck I've learned to do. Really dig you shop and cool tools.

This channel is going to hit at least 100k in the next month or so. It got recommended to me on front page first row even though I don't usually watch repair videos. Good work anyway man!

Fascinating ,thank you Rob.

Always interesting to see how other guys do this. My blower jig is at least 30 years old and I torque the case down to get that distortion out. Kinda like using a torque plate when machining a block, then you know if it's flat, then I check the manifold too. It's a bit of a forgotten check since we all use o rings to seal the blower to the manifold. I love the seal machining jig, I still machine them in the lathe. Had some shocking cases that had to have the rotors taper turned to get correct clearance front to back. That was a pretty nice blower to start with (I never get the nice ones!). Had a couple that had some big bangs go through them that needed all the clearances done and re dowel the front and rear plates, re pin the rotors, new shafts, the works. Cool video Rob, keep em coming.

WOW!, everything you explained in this video i absorbed like a sponge! Thanks for sharing and explaining!

Thanx for learning me something👊🙌💯

Cool, thanks for sharing!

You videos are awsome. I am learning alot!

Very cool, thank you for the expertise information

These videos are incredible. I'm sitting here binge-watching your backlog.

This is such cool information! Thanks for sharing this!

Great video, really puts a lot into perspective. 👍

Awesome video!!! Thanks for the info!!

That was awesome. I'm a new subscriber. I'm going to be going through all your video's. Thank you.

I really enjoy your videos! I learn a lot from them and watch them as often as I can!

At least you are honest, and genuine, and have integrity about what you do. In real machining, it's NEVER "dead on", on the first run. Not in machining things when tolerance is the perimeter.

Great content. The real nuts and bolts.

Great video and no it not long winded at all very enjoyable to watch you work!

Checking in before this channel hits the moon. Just got recommended to me-you know what that means

Nice job! Very cool!

Very informative and knowledgeable great content.

Great Info & Video 👍 ... Thanks

Excellent!

Thanks for the education. I've always wondered how those blowers are sealed and what does the sealing.

When your ready to scrap that beast you can send it my way. Lol. Looking to upgrade my antique weiand 6-71. Awesome video 👍

Thanks for the great video!

Great video!! Very instructive and very interesting!! Nice job!!

And i thought me rebuilding 453 and 6v and 8v blowers was awesome. Nice to see someone else doing em and making a nice video

Thats a fantastic Video Rob. Thanks for doing these. CJ

Wow! Cool stuff! Do you ever have to check or set end play in the rotors or gears? Or would that only be if you were installing new rotors? Very interesting information. More please... Hahaha

Thk you, very informative!

Awesome video.

hell yeah ! pretty cool stuff, subbed instantly

Great Stuff Rob.

Nice job !

Crazy how much goes into these beasts

Nice work rob

Mate that was informative... thanks for sharing the knowledge 👍

You had me at hello !

Trial and error and hours and hours. Nice job. I love your channel

Thanks for a great video!

Could you run a bit more fuel at the hat to seal up and cool those heated strips ? Great job. I am so glad I found your Channel. Take care.

Thankyou for the video and education 💪🇺🇸

I’m lovin this

Very Cool. Thanks Rob. One of my diesel tech final tests was to take 4 6-71 diesel blowers and make one good one out of basically junk rotors and cases. I knew going in that they were junk air movers,,but was a fun test to get everything right or close, as per Detroit Diesel. The 6-71 was out of a WW2 PT Boat. the governor/speed control lever had a "Battle Mode" detent,, for a extra 400 rpms out of the engine. Had to test that out once I hung the blower on the side,

ill come work for you! lol the shop is a wet dream...

Nice kid. I love superchargers. You did a nice job. I learned a lot.

I had no idea, very interesting.

Good job teaching🙏
