It's like a CSI investigation. He's 100% open and honest

The SMX is also a huge R&D situation!!

@@obamapox8185 ha ha too bad the FBI and the CIA and the DOJ aren’t open and honest

Yea and he has his own shop and I really think he understands the risk of running high hp

Wisdom grows from a foundation of strong emotional stability.

yes as i am as well but he seems to have a lot of trouble with rods and pistons in his motors not a good ADD for his work

@@andrewforbes146 i dont think your paying attention, he clearly showed that it was NOT a connecting rod failure. his last connecting rod failure, the mass exodus of 8 rods was a prototype set of rods he had never run before. clearly he is showing that he is willing to test parts in his own engine before he puts them in a customers engine.

@@andrewforbes146 steve morris , puts them to the test , most of what he uses and runs is new tec , and he puts them to the test , his stuff that is proven last ages if you keep it around the recomended power , the guys that push them tend to go further when they are intended before failure, so all the guys that go this are real legends for saving so many the stress and trouble and alot of money , in trial and error , and thats what steve does in a new engine build of combo , no fun if you all ways play it safe :) i hope this helps more people understand.

I've been a fan of him for a while now, he's role model material in my opinion. Always gives it his all. You'll like the content and shenanigans. Just one of those things, dogs don't lie. Steve is a good guy based on Dewey's interactions.

@@andrewforbes146 , for each failure on a SM engine, other 6 or 10 succeed. When you are pushing internal combustions engines this far, things can go wrong very fast and very hard.

I appreciate these channels so much more when I learn they're on the same walk I am.

Yeah but he can't be going about in a state of constantly broken equipment and making excuses every vid. He needs to lay of KZfaq and sort his car and engines out mate

​@Big duphus AJ Steve doesn't need to be told how to operate. He's been doing this for years and will continue to do so. If his YT channel was interfering with his business, Im sure Steve would NOT be doing it. He's not a fool bub. Chill.

@@bigduphusaj162 Have you ever raced a high horsepower car at the track for any length of time I don’t think so. Hi horsepower brakes parts always did always will get your head out of your ass.

@ClippO nice job brother, some people can't handle the truth. Steve shows the good the bad and the worst, he hides nothing, so Mate, if you watch and listen to Steve you might learn something 😉

I 100% agree with you. Steve Morris is an Outstanding man. God Bless.

amen

I’ll second that!

I third that!

And he was able to relate it to an engine

This comment came from a dead person ? Well crap…. I must be dead too

​@@jesseregan4047 You looked into the light didn't you. Never look into the light!

Patience? Fact is this man acted imprudently. And given the fact that he mentions the high cost of things. His impatience cost him a lot.

The only Impatience I see is the willingness to use the Crank again. Build needs to be Fresh. *Crank is Spun Mass* Expect future issues especially as Balanced part.

​@@statementleaver8095 there's mistakes being made all over the place mate tbh. He's turning into a youtuber which never works well alongside a business as the quality tanks. Also I'm finding out now that all these drag events in America are like youtubers inviting youtubers not exactly legit racing when real teams ain't invited. The Sweeds, Brits and Australians would win every event no problem, infact the sweeds already gave them all a whooping so now they want rid of them from these events. I know this because it was them who told me.

@@bigduphusaj162 The Internet is exposing the world and its problems. Internet stars are no better than Teachers Internet = Video & Upload Teacher = Copy & Paste Neither are really worth the Money they have!

@@statementleaver8095 You most obviously do not work as an analyst. He should have taken the time to test the car. Go to the event without the car. Being impetuous is not a good trait. Makes me wonder about the quality of what he makes. A careful machinist. A man truly concerned about the cost of things. Takes his time. Proves to be prudent. Wasting at least ten-thousand is stupid.

I'm so glad he's a good Christian man. I'd hate to see him pissed off. That "smile" he gives when he's not happy is kinda scary. Love this channel.

Nailed it Rob!

I push my marine engines to way more than Steve and they don't throw rods all the time.

@@bigduphusaj162 ....yet.

@@bigduphusaj162 your marine engines aren't under any where near the load

He explains it at the 14:00 mark in this video

He explained it in the video.

He better be getting a new converter for free!

When you build custom things you get custom problems

​@@K-Effect not if you do it right.

I see now you did it for your customers. If there was a real problem you needed to let everyone know.

How many Engine builders do you know who would do that, not many.

@@michaelwynne4346 exactly!

It's never ending in this sport when it comes to updates. You're always trying to go faster the next race!

Good stuff!

What’s wrong with polishing the washer and dryer? That’s not as bad as stepping on grease slugs and tracking them across the carpet.

@@preachers4135 LOL, she's not into my idea of a polished washing machine. She has a container in the dryer cupboard of all the media she's found. Im at the point where some media shotgun reloads are in order. I finally learned to pull my boots off at the front door for my flip flops. At first it annoyed me, but now its my signal that I get to rest and relax...lol

No runs down the strip. Steve having really bad luck with these new parts but it helps the supplier make a superior product.

​@@kevinfunk83 yeah right. Hes getting problems because his attention is on other things. The sweeds that beat them in all the proper events don't get all these problems, they're the ones telling him the Torque convertor was junk and warned him about his last shaft

@@bigduphusaj162 you may be right but I’m talking about 2 things that were kind of him trusting new suppliers and the product failing.

You didn't bother to listen to the video. These were the first of a new batch the bolt company sent him. Steve was the sacrificial lamb it seems.

@@paulcopeland9035 I listened. Any reputable company will have manufacturing records to show that the product received the proper processing. Bolts dont just fail like that unless there is a defect. Could be a stress riser like a nick or could be improper annealing. Worst case could be contaminated materials. They should have records and test results they can use to pin down the cause of the failure. The shape/size of the bolt/stud (new design) does not matter with respect to where that one failed. This applies to a test batch, an initial production run or the 1000th run. Of course if they are using some brand new material that has no history and little testing, yes, Steve was the guinea pig.

Do you by chance know the PN and batch numbers of the faulty studs? I built a Cummins in 2021 with ARP main studs. So far no issues but prefer to not find out the high dollar way.

I just about gave up scrolling through comments looking if hydrogen embrittlement was mentioned before mentioning it myself.

Good one. Waiting to hear what? Last thing anyone knew the wagon retired from multiple torque conv issues. Then now we get shown a goosed SMX motor. No idea wtf is going on now tbh and neither has anyone I've asked

​@@bigduphusaj162 clearly u missed the video b4 this one

Yep
