ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2022
- In this video we show you the inner workings of CP Carrillo, one of the most advanced manufacturing facilities we have ever been in! They make high end rods and pistons for NASCAR, NHRA, Monster Jam, Power Boats, Motorcycles, even OEM performance vehicles! In addition to the top secret cutting edge development work being done here they also make custom products for the regular at home car builders like us! Everything from the raw forgings is made in the USA. We were here to do a video on Lake Speed's new pistons for his vintage Ford C3 NASCAR engine project we have been working on. If you haven't seen those videos and love engine tech definitely check those out on the channel!

I think it’s pretty awesome that the same places top race teams in motorsports get their parts made also make parts for normal guys like us. CP Carrillo has been with me since 2018 when I did the 427 engine for the Escalade. Great people over there 💪🏻

Calvert brothers are little guys like us. Dave is one of my father's best friends as well good friends with Snake and Barry. They all worked at Arias then took over JE and brought it up from nothing and finally started CP. I remember sitting in Dave's Garage as he was gas porting pistons for I believe a Yates special order right around the transition from JE to CP
Thank buddy for the tech on the rods and pistons. You could tell he and speed were really having to choose wording and technical parts of the building to say and show things as the world of rods and pistons are a very close guarded secret in just about everything about the two pieces. Thank you and all the rest for showing us what's behind the "curtains". Thank you for all the things you show us about this sport we love and the tech and also just as important the history of the sport we all love. Mike.
Carrillo rods have been an industry standard for so long it’s great to see the CP and Carrillo keeping such high standards
Absolutely is. I don't think there is anywhere better out there.
So long, as in I remember them being one of the rod companies back in the 1970’s.
Your ability to get these companies and racers and builders talking in depth is IMHO unmatched. Keep bringing the content…

It's great to see you teamed up with Lake Speed Jr and seeing the doors open for you. This has kicked your TH-cam Channel into overdrive for sure. When and If you finally want to make a swing into the Northeast to visit Moroso Performance Products give me a shout I'll open the door for you.
CP piston are hands down that best pistons made!! Seriously they aren’t cheap but nether is a rod out the block. I’ve used CP piston on 80% nitro methane atv that made 100 hp and it was the only piston to handle the pressures
I've owned 4-5 sets of the rods over the years. Never had any worries with them.
I saw on an episode of Harry's garage, pistons made by CP Carrillo for his Lamborghini Espada. Works of art.
I loved that episode. They ordered one extra piston in order to show how beautiful it is.
Lake Jr has opened alot of doors for you. I am really enjoying this series
He definitely has! We love working with Lake and Total Seal
Love the engine parts nerd sessions! Never knew how many steps were involved in getting quality pistons and rods manufactured. Very informative video. Also shout out to CP Carrillo for allowing the walkthrough their plant and the detailed explanations on the various techniques and stages. Well done Mitchell and Logan! Another winner!
Thank you Mitchell we appreciate you!
When I went through tech school (Milford, NE) we went through some tours of all the different engine parts and stuff just like this and it was really awesome so the fact that you’re doing this for free for people is pretty rad. I could tour stuff like this all day just listening to the guys talk and show stuff off. Thanks man for doing what your doing
Thanks man we are glad you're into this stuff too 💪🏼
Same here man, I love this stuff
These guys made my rods and pistons in the fall of 2022! 2015 Ecoboost Mustang NHRA stock eliminator. I’ll probably be inspecting the whole short block assembly in December. Interesting fact, the rods weren’t even in the catalog in June of 2022.
Another great video! 21:20 Shot peening doesn't technically remove stress it actually creates a different kind of stress in the surface of the material. Its trading the tensile stress from forging and machining for compressive stress as it work hardens the surface. The strength increase from this can be drastic. Love all the factory tours lately keep them coming!
All of that is above my pay grade lol!
@@Stapleton42 one of the best shot peening places in the USA is in statesville . National penning. They do stuff for NASA, Boeing, and a bunch if others.
Fatigue life increase is the big benefit
RIP to Coy Gibbs, I know Lake Jr probably knew him and it just came as a shock. Prayers to the whole Gibbs racing family and immediate family
This is truly awsome, wish they were doing two strokes rods aswell, not just four stroke predominantly.
Great Vid. Thanks Carrillo team fore letting us in. I have a set of your rods and pistons in my Ducati. Great to see where they are made.
There is a lot more work going into rods and pistons than I ever imagined. Thank You for teaching me about things I would just clean up and put into the engine.
Amazing. The piston actually goes through a metamorphosis while the engine is running. Thank you guys again. I'm a sponge soaking it all up.
It's amazing to see inside shops like Carrillo.
A wealth of information sharing right through the video.
It seemed nothing was off limits as we might see in some shop videos, which is totally understandable with some products or product development.
Which is what surprised me about this video, we got to see way more than I might have thought.
Great to see where all the gorgeous bits of kit I use in my racing engines come from. Keep up those high standards, guys, love your stuff!
Terry here from Canada, London Ontario. Love your channel. You two rock!
And I'm a Mark fan from the 80's. Yup, showing my age. I remember the Foldgers #6.👍
Thanks Terry 💪🏻 we’re glad you’re here
You guys,gals ready for this? Mitch I was taken to Pocono when Davey went end over end, thankyou Darrel, and I know you're a fan, met Sr., the king, and well, explain that to the border guards! Let alone a week in the Poconos🤪. But brother I hear you. M.I.S. 27 Times👍Dega too.
@@Stapleton42 you're channel rocks! What you present to us invaluable❤🤟
@@terryvuylsteke2434 …Now for an exciting game of trivia with a twist. Maybe fabulous prizes for correct answers. Still waiting on a call from Larry the lip to see if someone is able to drive after a unexpected confrontation. Surely someone will pull through. But hey man, enough of that. Let’s play 😳.
What does a Cup car flipping end over end…. Border Guards assumed to be heavily armed…..And a lovely week in the Beautiful Poconos all have in common ???
Looking at the guy beside you for answers will bring disciplinary action from Vinnie and Guido so eyes to yourself. The one minute time limit starts at the buzzer…GOOD LUCK ☠️
Yes...this kind of content is awesome...love it. Nerdy details like this really provide opportunity to make better choices when deciding where to spend that money. Thank you for getting this kind of insight.
Keep going with the tech videos... They are great, and it appears that most places are welcoming to your approach of just a couple people with cameras and willing to listen.... Dart next maybe?
Edelbrock coming next!
Did not know that Arias pistons is now owned by them., in the period of 40 to 50 years ago the family had Arias make forged pistons for all the Lotus Europa engines we did. They NEVER broke. ... Old long ago memories.
Love the content mate. Especially the recent videos with Lake Speed Jr. It makes me happy to know that there are humans this smart, stick around Lake Jr long enough a feller might just get a PhD from second hand exposure
Thanks man 😂
Just bought a set for my Ls three weeks ago. Thanks for the factory run through.
Man thats such a cool look into how they machine their pistons. Awesome video as always and thanks for the content. Looking forward to the next live stream.
Thanks JD 💪🏻
Loved Carrillo rods since 1987 🇦🇺
Hell yea man I have a custom 102 mm CP piston in my 660 Yamaha raptor
I love cnc stuff, those machines are no joke! You should have asked to do a timelapse from billet to piston that would be awesome!
Nothing better than made in the USA 🇺🇸 💪🏻
Nice to know they make pistons now. In years past I had them make my rods.
Great video ! Would be interesting to see the Forging process.
Agreed!
I have not seen anybody that I like watching go through Carillo rod shop. In my back yard is even better. Hope the super carry gas prices out here don't stop you guys from coming here more often. Awesome video as always
Thank you Jeremiah! Thank Total Seal and Lake Jr for making this trip possible for us!
Instalei um jogo de pistões CP em um honda fit a uns 5 anos, turbimei com 1kg, esta rodando perfeitamente até hoje aqui no Brasil !
Epic!
Even back to the later 60's before CNC Machines were around, Carrillo Rods were still the Premium Con Rod you used in building a Race Engine. They weren't inexpensive though, a set of Rods for a BB Chevy in 1968 would cost you over 500 Bucks (68 Dollars) However you get what you Pay for. They are almost Bullet Proof as far as Breakage. You really don't need any more accuracy in a Race Engine than 1/10 Thousandth but these Modern Day 5 Axis CNC Machines can Machine Components to 1 Micron Accuracy (1/400 Thousandth) all day long. We used them in Motorcycle Race Engines also. One instance probably saved us having to buy new Main Cases for a BSA A65 DT Race Engine that Normally have OEM Aluminum Rods. During a Race the Engine had an Oil Pump Failure. The Left Side Carrillo Rod was completely Starved from any Lubrication for a Couple Laps on a 1/2mile Track before the Engine Locked up. The Rod had Stretched some what, but it didn't let go and probably saved us a 1000+ dollars in Parts that would have been destroyed with the Factory OEM Rods. Those High End CNC Machines you see through out the Facility Cost a Bundle of Money but what they Produce(Rods/Pistons) is the Highest Quality you will ever Find...
Cool video. I used to work in a race prep shop that shared their building. It was on the other side of the building, but unfortunately the race shop shut down years ago and I moved away.
This kind of stuff still fascinates me. Excellent video. Keep up the great work!
The top tier for performance! Now I don’t feel like waiting 5 months for pistons is like pulling teeth, more like hunger being the best sauce
N54
This is awesome 😎
Thanks man 💪🏻
Awesome to see a company that's this big still being run by engine guys
Definitely true
What a great shop! You can tell by the brands of CNC equipment they have that they are committed to making a quality product and are serious about it. Well done.
Thanks man 💪🏻
Lot of Moris in that shop
@@picklefart Your point?
What I really love about this video (and many other videos of yours) is I learned something at 62 years young, oval wow thats knarly but cool, thanks man
Thanks man. We are all about value provided here 💪🏻
I have one of their pistons and rods in my Honda CRF150R, good stuff!
Great video Mitchell and Logan ! As always keep up the great work !
Nice video. I just purchased a set of Carillo Forged Pistons (4.125" bore; 10.75:1 static c.r. w/stock heads) for my 2021 Harley Davidson Road Glide Special. Once I bore/hone my cylinders & fit the pistons & rings, my 114 cu.in. becomes a 120 cu.in. displacement. Very high quality, impressive...They look like jewelry in the box! Tom M. So. Cal.
Great content guys. Keep em coming!!!!
Outstanding factory tour ! Thanks of all the video and edit work that you do also. At the very start that is one cool door man you have in Lake Jr.! Great friend to have and keeping doors open to the future. That is cool to hear them chatting about the different piston material. Keep up the great work but remember to relax some and truly soak in your accomplishment's, because your doing my dream job !
Thanks steve 💪🏻
Speaking of a shiny dome... Dude is smooth like warm butter must be all that knowledge
Rumor has it Bryan was born on a 5 axis CNC machine
Such a great product. Thanks for the video
Fantastic!!! You guys rock! Cheers!
CP makes jewelry out of billet.
I had them make some custom 18:1 pistons to my specs and weight and they nailed them.
The dragbike is retired now with a #1 plate on it.
Wow, how cool is this! You guys scored a nice tour & video footage of this manufacturer. Sure do appreciate all your & Logan's hard work to do these videos for us all! I'm into stuff like this, being the lifelong gearhead that I am(35+ years in the mechanical career field)and all the hot rod stuff I've built over the years, both cars and motorcycles. You know I'm right there with you in all this, love hi tech stuff, and am looking forward to the build on Lake Speed's engine.
Thank you both for such great video content!😎👍👍👍
Thanks Mark. As always you’re the man 💪🏻
@@Stapleton42 🔧🔩⚙🛠🪒👍
I worked in a piston manufacturing shop summer, when I was in college
Another over the top video tour, as always!
Thanks for sharing y’all…
Our pleasure!
Awesome, another shop tour! 👊🏻
Great video!!! Can't even imagine how much money is those machines and programming design.
Another great vlog. This kind of stuff is interesting. Thank you and have a Blessed day
Thanks Junior you too
Thank you!
This is really awesome … guess my 95 E36 won’t need much from there❣️
Those machines sound like someone trying learn to play the bag pipes lol
Dude yes 😂
Thanks for the video, excellent stuff, I don't think people realise how much goes into making things, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thanks Donald 💪🏻
What a nice clean shop.
This was literally like a tour of my work. Lol
I have Carrillo rod in my 2015 Harley CVO.
Fantastic company very good video thank you!!!!
Our pleasure!

Thanks guys! ♥️ what you always bring to us! It's great to see this high end engineering and parts. We all have a wish list, a give away of pistons and rods would be a great gift, understanding that the cost is very high, but what a start to my engine and everyone who is thinking of building new for 2023 or 2024, how about it? 🤔 a stroker crank of course.
Logan you were quiet during this filming, l did see you taking still pictures 📸, under the eye of management! You take a lot of stills, are you planning on putting a book together? A coffee table book full of race and performance & engineering car, engine, fabrication parts. Can't wait.
That rather large HEMI piston was cool, kind of secret 😉?
Well you two have outdone your selves again, it must take a lot out of you? Set up, the filming, questions, editing and oh ya, get some sleep. Are you limited because it is so much work and some, so many trade secrets have to be protected! I for one love ❤️ what you and Logan do, and am very appreciative. THANK YOU!
It's late, l am behind, so off to bed, ✌🏻🧡👍🤘🇨🇦 🙂.
P.S. a thanks to Lake Speed Jr. Also.
Thanks man. She takes pictures because we never know what we’re gonna need for a thumbnail or b roll photos
Cool, a book is still a cool thought. 👍🙂🌤🇨🇦😎🤘
I’m running a set of cp pistons Good Products 👍👍
Pure quality 👌
Awesome x two!
Awesome video! Very interesting, keep up the good work. Thank you. 😎
Thank you too!
This is great content as usual
Killin it as always. Y'all take care.
Thanks man! You too.
Nice rod man
When the older guys retire they wont be able to replace them . Kid comes in you expect to work? What part of the shop can I hang out and text and pound the pud for $25.00 an hour ?
awesome video man!!
great videos, i love CP, my pistons are the fav thing i ever brought, they look so sick! the one thing i would have loved to see is how they seperate the rod caps and manage to keep it round, because when you cut you remove material so they would have to account for that, or i dont know use magic to make a perfectly clean cut with zero material lost lol thats the one thing i have always wondered about rods and now after writing this im motivated to search and find out. one day ill have a full cp piston and carillio rod combo but my engine i cheaped out and went spool rods lol she'll be right
There were some parts of the process they did not want shown. No need to give competition a leg up!
That's awesome 👍. Very interesting. Keep up the great work
Thanks Kevin we will do our best 💪🏻
What amazes me in the machines that do the milling etc. Who makes this milling equipment ?
This content top tier! glad I subbed best wishes
Wow didn't know there was that there was that much to a piston great job again keep bringing them video
Thanks Richard!
VEREY INTERESTING THANKS
Bryan was doing piston Dr Seuss, not rap. Lol. Thanks for another great video!
Awesome stuff great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You’ve done one hell of a job on your videos!
Thanks man we’re working hard!
@@Stapleton42 I see that! Go to Stuart, Virginia to the Wood Brother museum it’s awesome
Thanks for sharing.😄
You’re welcome glen!
Was surprised when CP warrantied rings for a set of 20 year old pistons i bought used. They were originally supplied with the wrong rings new.
They are a stand up company thats for sure. Most would not do that.
*A friend of Bryon Moreland for over 25 years knows what he is about details details details. He has an awesome 65 Chevelle handed down from his grandfather and his father owns an outstanding shop locally.*
Once again awesome content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Another great video Mitch.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great content guys. wish I had a Lake Speed in my life Snr or Jr
Be interesting to know more about the initial forge material where that's done
That was a very cool video lot of information. 😎✌️🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it Art!!
Great content thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching John we appreciate you!
Carillo is the only rod we ever used in our circle track engines. FWIW I have never seen an engine blow because of a Carilllo rod failure.
Once again a cool factory video
Thanks Joe!
@@Stapleton42, thank you both, for going and asking good questions and shooting great video, that they allow you to shoot. Keep up the good work and God bless you both...
good video i use cp rods and pistons in my harley
You should go tour Holley in Bowling Green, Ky! And visit Corvette museum, factory, and track while you’re there. Maybe even Beech Bend Raceway?
Boom here you go! th-cam.com/video/gjuVQsTNlG8/w-d-xo.html
Wont aftermarket rods not influence the lubrication of the cylinder walls? Original GM rods had oil thrower tabs on the outer side (crank side of the bearing pocket) most aftermarket rods have nothing? Will I need to modify the rods with oil channels or the crank before use?
Top notch
Kick ass video!!
When are ya'll moving out of CA????? Come to TN or MS where it's cheaper to live!!!!!!!!! Edelbrock is here!!!!!
I used Arias custom race pistons in my Corvair race engines then CP Carrillo bought them out. The last sets were from them. Never had a piston failure.
Very interesting
