PES intake manifold Casting process with a core

At the foundry showing the casting process of the PES intake manifold. This mould uses a "core", the core is shaken out later in a vibratory tumbler. This manifold is used on Chevy inline 6 engines, 250-292. The very first picture is of Clyde Norwood, he is the designer of this great manifold. It is used primarily for circle track racing and has shown gains of 20-25 ft bl of tq over a Clifford. The manifold can be purchased on www.12bolt.com
This also shows the real work and talent we still have here in the USA. Hats off to all the factory workers. Without factories, we will have NO jobs. BUY USA FIRST!

وهل تستطيع صب اقسام المحرك كاملة ؟

[@homotorsports]

Pretty Cool!!!! Like the runner design...

[@militarychevy711]

That's a neat intake Tom.

[@jimburnsjr.]

Wow... thanks for the video.... beautiful

[@JoeHynes284]

thanks for sharing!

[@loatfield]

Would love to get my hands on one of these.

[@aymanaljabery103]

Thank you for mach

[@BTFSawmill]

Good Video

[@agustinruiz7129]

i would love to know where to find that matchplate vibrator. Excellent video.

[@layes64Nova]

how many do you make in a year?

[@p.d.catito3313]

where are you located in Canada?

[@benbird2100]

Does the vibrator plate remove the need to jolt the mold, or does it effectively do the same thing?

[@yeshwanthkumar5274]

what is the pattern material used

[@jamest.5001]

How can I get one of these for a 68' 250 Chevy???

[@30CalCoreLokt]

what is the piece for the runners called? how is it removed after pouring? very cool video. thanks for sharing

[@bradleyc4857]

I'm assuming your referring to the core.it will break down into fine sand after exposed to the heat.

[@68pishta68]

That's awesome, the man walks a 50 foot obstacle course with 20 lbs of molten aluminum in a bucket on a pole. How do other intakes suffer from core shift? Seems impossible with rigid sand cast cores unless the pouring process deforms a wall?

Sloppiness during mass production

[@frankstanton6972]

How does this show a profit! Used to make these manifolds in cast iron, but the time it took them to make one we used make twenty at least

[@richardschofield2201]

What process were you using that was 20 times quicker?

[@frankstanton6972]

I’m 80 and I could make more moulds than this! This firm should invest in a couple of jolt and squeeze machines! How much are these castings sold for?

[@Rockandrollrusty]

This isn’t your first time working together is it.

[@larrypeteet5575]

Commentary would have been nice for Laymen and maybe Lay Persons (not sure about them!)

[@hendragunawan161]

Ia itu black sand?

[@thesheikhifamily9424]

now masters, you will cast a turtle intake manifold !!! or a manifold that looks like human lungs!!

[@markbrzezinski8889]

Where is the protective clothing?

[@richardschofield2201]

He has gloves and a face mask.
I've seen worse.

[@davidvasquez3564]

Now they do it with a 3D printer in plastic.

[@frankstanton6972]

I worked moulding for almost fifty years, this is the least productive method I’ve ever seen, these workers are working hard for nothing

[@richardschofield2201]

There's a couple of comments like this. What is the method for doing it quicker?

[@billcoley8520]

I hate videos like this. It’s interesting as hell and people ask questions and your to lazy to stop and answer
