We THRASHED ALL Day - Can We Make It to the Last Day? Sick Summer Day 4

This is a LONG one guys, but this was a very long day to say the least. After an easy day yesterday, while pulling into the track I heard a squeal. We lashed the valves and found out that a broken lifter and didn't know what we were going to do. Thankfully we had all the parts and started 3 hours of thrashing.
After thinking we had it resolved, we burnt 2 push rods after 15 minutes of driving on the road. It was a long day but we adapted and kept rolling 😅

It’s so obvious that Nolan at Isky really knows his stuff, it’s impressive Isky’s commitment to the Drag & Drive community. Well done.

Can't put a price on the knowledge of Nolan and the value of him being there and Isky supporting Drag and Drive. There is a reason they are the leader in the Industry

Much thanks to all who provide help and support! Big thanks to Nolan, one of the nicest guys ever to work in the industry, got to meet him briefly at VMP. He is the nicest guy ever!

I really appreciate the in-depth discussion about the cam and lifters. Not that I will ever be running that high end of an engine, it helps us dummies better understand what's going on inside the engine.

@irahubscherjr6629 Ай бұрын

Steve Morris did a video on his springs breaking after running a constant 2500rpm for a couple hours on the drive part. He said the broken springs is something to do with harmonic resonance, where all springs have a specific resonance at a continuous rpm for long periods, that will break the spring, especially when your running .900 lift and running 2500rpm.

Steve Morris with that little lifter cardboard trick on cleets car just the other day.

@54raceman Ай бұрын

Yep I caught that to that When dennis mentioned that steve said he had just done that it was Garrett’s engine was what he was talking about. So atleast garret getting stuck with that had grenade steve sold him and steve being there because of it helped someone out (garret’s not the only one who has had bearing,lifter and oiling issues with smxs frost that organizes Rocky Mountain race week got the same repeated run around from steve claiming his works perfect your doing something wrong that m&m did a work around by running low trans pressures that frost got so Fed up that he ripped his out and took it to a different engine builder and had him find out everything Steve had messed up and fix it and hasn’t had a issue sense which is why he calls it a mad cap 481x now instead of a smx)

@michiganracer1181 Ай бұрын

Yea dip sh.. McFarland racing runs the SMX motor into the dirt not realizing he's lost 2 gear and been overrunning the engine past 9400 rpms for who knows how long and it's Steve's fault??? Probably not, Garret blew it up because he wasn't paying attention.

The best video I've seen from ATR from start to finish! Drama, suspense, hope but at the end smile...all in one! Debriefing with Nolan and Dennis was priceless, we understand more what is the complexity of Drive and Drag competition and the involvement of Isky participating to the events, R&D job. Speaking about competition it definitely flows in Alex's veins..."I want the guitar so bad" "But 3rd place you have the guitar" "yes but I want 2nd place even if the guitar is probably the same" says it all! 😄"Be happy, go fast, stay pretty" has never been truer, what a content! Cross fingers for tomorrow...

I was trying to figure when I started watching your videos. It is hard to believe the coffin car was only 3 years ago! I was thinking it has been more than 6 years, but I can find vids that go back any further than 6 years. I have always enjoyed watching your Dad trouble shoot and work! Any time you can rebuild or rework in less than a day, you know you have qualified people on the team! Your Dad did a great job mentoring you in the trade! Teaching is force-feeding, but mentoring is directing you in a skill and letting you learn at your own pace. I hope you are goofing off more than working hard! The fun times are easiest to remember! Good job with your videos!

You guys both busted ass this week!

@irahubscherjr6629 Ай бұрын

Cleetus had the same thing take him out... had to pull his out the bottom too. He got it fixed but then they found 2 cracked main caps. The amazing thing was he had made his run (high 6) on 7 cylinders and then met Steve at Motion, where they fixed the cam and lifters but then found the cracked mains.

Only 16 minutes in. Relatively new to this channel. I run a 56' Chev I've had since I was 15 - thus the interest. Already been on the edge of my seat and even shed a few tears. Raced for a while with my son, and this brought back so many memories. Very fitting for Father's day weekend. Watching the interaction between you two - very impressed. Totally legit family race team. New fan forever! Can't wait to see how it turns out, but you all are both total winners in my book already. Great work.

It’s very refreshing to see the two of you working so closely together. Alex your dad is amazing. Mister Taylor you have raised a very special girl. How your hole family sticks together is hart warming. This is without a doubt the best video you have ever made. This from a humble 66 year old man. If you will please let us know what you find wrong with the motor and oil problem please. And thank you for educating an old man that loves what you and your family does. But never had the smarts or talent to do. Again great video and thank you all.

@danw1955 Ай бұрын

I really enjoyed the back and forth between your Dad and the guy from Isky Cams. I think it would be cool if they could design a rocker arm with a variable ratio, using an eccentric in the rocker, so you could dial in less ratio for street driving, and bring it back up to 2:1 for racing. That would eliminate the low rpm lifter 'bounce', and yet be a quick and easy adjustment to get race ready, without actually changing the rockers themselves. Just a thought...😉 Anyway, well done Alex. You rock!😄👍👍

I'm confident you'll get to make that bonzai pass tomorrow and seal the deal. Maybe the "peace out" signoff instead of Alex's signature one will be what brings good luck ? IDK, but I'll be eagerly awaiting the finally tomorrow. Hey--just a quick thing--I remember Nick Plewniac having some issues last year, and he determined it was the lifter's relation in height to the oil passage in the bore. He found the different brand lifters had the holes in slightly different locations and with the real high lift cam it was causing issues. BBC also of course. I hope I remember that right..I think I do ! But if anyone can make that thing talk tomorrow it's you two !!
