nice job Mr Brand lol....for a guy who has been working in the shop by himself forever with nobody lookin over his shoulder, you sure are good at letting us see the process! Thank you for everything!!
I was going to say it would take years to absorb all the knowledge. Understandable about the bits you don't share. Was starting to question what kinda video this was when he was saying when you tap it. 😁😅 TY for sharing. The tediousness is what is necessary to make sure your giving it your all. Very detail oriented.
There's never enough motor content in my opinion. Especially from professionals. Don't worry about us big dawg we just wanna watch you work and learn from it. Thanks for the knowledge.
You can always tell a tradesman that's passionate about his work... Gerald's attention to detail is OUTSTANDING! He lets nothing slip by! Great video guy! Keep'em coming!
I think this was an absolutely great video! Not boring at all. As stated by others, watching a true craftsman at work is almost mesmerizing! Definently looking forward to future content
I always enjoy seeing how you do things,the way you check,repair & set up the workings of an engine. Repairs you have the knowledge & machinery/tooling to make damaged pieces right again interests me. Keep doing what you do,love watching & learning from one of the best!
Wow ... memories of working with my Dad back in the 60's in his backyard auto repair shop. Not much has changed ... but a few things did... Aluminum heads, double valve springs, pneumatic spring compressor (we used manual) and cleaning out the sparkplug threads... LOL ... keep the videos coming amigo !!!!
You sir are a great match for viewer's of Chief & Jackie. Large majority of us really enjoy the technical aspect of what y'all do, throw in the fact of the pride you obviously take in your work and it makes fantastic content.aybe consider showing us what goes into building a stroker motor on a average Joe budget. Maybe a 383 or a 421 with a factory GM block. Build it and raffle it off.
Great job Mr. Brand! You can tell a man that takes pride in his work by how clean and organized he keeps his shop and work areas. Your shop Mr. Brand is impeccable and you sir are a true professional. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your viewers. 🎯
You have a lot of very valuable information in this video. I really appreciate the way you explain all the time and effort you put into the valve train. Excellent video.
Just the right amount of narration. I've put holes in stuff, but nothing that could be called machine work. I've stuck two metal pieces together, but nothing you would call welding. The stuff you do is fascinating, definitely do more videos.
Sadly the days of getting a pair of heads or even block work are quickly coming to a end. These engines that are in the every day drivers are throw aways. Hell the whole cars are being designed as a 5-7 yr throw away. Just look at the "EcoBoomb" 3.6 that GM put in multiple different vehicles. I swear they used that tiny flimsy timing chain so that when it hit 100-K to 140-K miles it puked. Causing catastrophic failure to the engine. And at that point the car really isn't worth the cost of even fixing the bent valves and often damaged pistons. How GM can over engineer the LS engines. And then make such a TURD on these makes you wonder if it wasn't done by design.
Really love the video and watching the awesome machining work you do. You can tell this man has never cut a corner and is very meticulous. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait until the next video!!
If someone has become as proficient in what they do such as yourself, you will always have an audience. Allot of people don’t realize but there is something mesmerizing about watching a master at his craft. And I encourage anybody to please find something you love and be good at it. There is almost no greater feeling than being able to master a skill. To be able to do something almost effortlessly, and to even have people comment on how well you do something feels pretty good to. But it really is a confidence boost when you are better at something than everybody else.
Should have kept the name discussion thing a secret... lol nice work Mr, brand I can see why Mr big chief goes too you sir your one in the same very detail oriented & I like it cause I'm same way when working on my very own things... keep up with videos kind sir and God bless...
Love watching your work! I'm in a different line of work, but when someone asks me why I'm so expensive I tell them You're paying for the 40 years of experience and knowledge I have gained to perform the current job at a higher level. Mesmerizing to watch this stuff!
Awesome video it is entertaining to watch someone who knows what they are doing fix a worn part and make it useable again. It is also nice having you explaine how some processes have changed over the years and why. Thanks for sharing this never gets boring to me,
Love seeing these videos. This is the kind of knowledge that usually only comes from experience/ trial and error an here we are getting it just from watching a video. Your tips and tricks speak volumes about your craftsmanship an intellect.
Very well done Sir !! A+ on the audio and video quality. Narration was A+ as well. And it's obvious you are an A+++ skilled machining and detail craftsman,110%
Hell yea. I’m a Lifelong drag racer, that has built hundreds of engines and I loved this video. Keep ‘em coming. I used Al Weis from Wichita Falls for years, and that dude wouldn’t share any of his wizardry. 😅😅
It is nice to see the practice of a professional in the automotive machine shop world. I always wanted to find a good local machine shop where I can hang out just to absorb that sweet knowledge. Great job
Always ready to watch a good machinist do his magic. I worked in an automotive machine shop when I was first starting out, I ended up as an engineer working in boring manufacturing facilities, my first love was always racing engines.
Keep doing these videos the same way, Gerald. Most folks don't realize that recon/repair work is a whole 'nother animal than simply building or assembling. Strange things lurk beneath the surface of good-looking pieces. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
The commentary is really educational. I know a bit about machining in general but nothing about machining motors. Just seeing the process is neat. Thanks for the great videos
The man! Great videos, this is great stuff. You might find machine shop stuff boring after all the years of experience, but for those of us interested in this stuff but not working in this space we love it. Keep up the great work!
It’s awesome to see this type of content. Normally you just drop it off at the machine shop and come back when it’s done. It’s great to see the behind the scene magic.
Your content is beyond informative. I'm sure I speak for all your viewers but learning is not enough. More commentating please. You had my attention from the beginning to end, all the way from the Navajo Nation.
Hella Cool Stuff. I'm dad was a Metallurgist an Machinist. He ran a Big boy 5axis , that made Wings an Landing gear for Boeing, an NASA. So All machining video's, Talking or Not, I feel right at home Watching 🙏🙌👏👏💪💯🏆🇺🇸
Gerald new subscriber. Retired military aircraft mechanic. Your videos are very informative. I’ve worked on a lot of stuff in my career but am definitely enjoying your videos. I’m the person that would rather fix something than buy new. Us older mechanics get great pleasure in solving the problem and bringing it back to fight another. I’m down here on Long Island NY. Thanks for sharing my Siamese cat sits ad watches everything I do without her just Ike your dog. Artie 🇺🇸👍
Fuck no it isn’t boring!! Man, you don’t have to feel obligated to do a damned thing, I appreciate whatever you’re willing to share. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your world, and your pups day. Please, keep ‘em comin!
Are you kidding me, I think what you're doing is awesome. Old schooling it ! It's what you know and love to do I'm sure. It's really cool to finally see who you are as we've all heard Chief mentioning your name on more than one occasion. Chief is really lucky to have someone of your caliber right around the corner from him and I'm pretty sure he feels the same way ! I wouldn't give ur secrets away either. Keep em coming !!👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely LOVE the videos. I tear engines and transmissions from European vehicles down all day everyday that we sell for parts. Usually 1 to 1.5 a day and I absolutely love these videos.
Beautiful work. Good to see you take pride in your shop. Love these types of content. Thankyou for inviting us in to see you work. Thanks for telling us how to pronounce your name. No the video is not boring.👍
Hey Brand Racing Engines! That was Great to see the process on working on the Heads and what a nice setup you have it all dialed in! Looking forward for more projects in the shop!😉👍📹✔️💯👋👋👋
I really enjoy watching someone take pride in their work. Building motors has always been fascinating to me. Looking forward to any videos you decide to post.
Great Video! As a Machinist for over 40 years, it's easy to appreciate your attention to detail and quality work. Its good to see that Larry Meaux, another Old School guy is still in buisness. He ported a set of heads for my street car in the mid 80s, and that engine ran quite well.
Mr.Brand you rock! Love how Ruby is the owner of the shop,she get whatever she wants. Chief will keep you busy with everything he messes up for sure like you ain't busy enough! Lol. Keep us in the loop for sure! Peace
nice job Mr Brand lol....for a guy who has been working in the shop by himself forever with nobody lookin over his shoulder, you sure are good at letting us see the process! Thank you for everything!!
This dude is the real deal!
😂
He’s always sorted your shit out chief LOL
I was going to say it would take years to absorb all the knowledge. Understandable about the bits you don't share. Was starting to question what kinda video this was when he was saying when you tap it. 😁😅 TY for sharing. The tediousness is what is necessary to make sure your giving it your all. Very detail oriented.
I love watching and listening to people give knowledge and you don't have to question it.
They truly are man’s best friend, say what you want, they will always be your friend, no matter what! Our dogs!
Decades of knowledge in 20 minutes. Very cool.
GREAT VIDEO ... !!!! PROUD OF A FINE MACHINIST AT WORK .... !!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO .... !!!!!!!!
Man you can tell he takes pride in his work and why chief had always been successful 👏
I was watching and thinking the exact same thing.
There's never enough motor content in my opinion. Especially from professionals. Don't worry about us big dawg we just wanna watch you work and learn from it. Thanks for the knowledge.
It doesn't matter how long a person has been into performance engines you can always learn a trick from someone who has been doing it for a while
Nice to see the comfort/confidence at which you perform the task
It’s nice to see a real machinist share his work
As a cyl head machinist it nice to see a video of a fellow craftsman doing things the right way great video man.
Sadly these old school shops that are doing things the right way, are becoming a thing of the past.
Was still a few vital steps he missed.
Well Done, Mr. Gerald!!!
From what I have seen you know your stuff.
I think I can learn a lot more from you .thank you sir
This is the content we've been waiting for. I'd watch you work on any motor. Very educational
You can always tell a tradesman that's passionate about his work... Gerald's attention to detail is OUTSTANDING! He lets nothing slip by! Great video guy! Keep'em coming!
Nice to see how much work actually goes into the work you do.
Can never see to much of a true craftsman, no matter how simple or difficult. Thanks for sharing
this man is one of many treasures in the car community
Love what you do! Don’t have to explain everything. I thought you did outstanding! Ronnie, East Tennessee
Brings back memories of when I was a kid in my uncle's machine shop. I love this stuff! Watching art being made.
Heck Yes!
They Definitely Weren't Fresh!!!
Excellent video Jackie - G. B.!
😎
I think this was an absolutely great video! Not boring at all. As stated by others, watching a true craftsman at work is almost mesmerizing! Definently looking forward to future content
I like how you did this edit. Good time, great clear explanations and use of time lapse. And you can't argue with some pup content. 🤘
I always enjoy seeing how you do things,the way you check,repair & set up the workings of an engine. Repairs you have the knowledge & machinery/tooling to make damaged pieces right again interests me. Keep doing what you do,love watching & learning from one of the best!
Awesome.. One man show. I enjoy watching and always learn something even for a 70 year old.. Good job sir...
Excellent video, Excellent work ! It's nice to see a professional at work thinking about everything that needs to be done correctly
I enjoy the hell out of the videos!
Wow ... memories of working with my Dad back in the 60's in his backyard auto repair shop. Not much has changed ... but a few things did...

Not many people realize what goes into fixing heads like that. Very nice work.

After 40yrs there is just a few things you don’t share 🙏🏽👍🏼
It is nice to see the practice of a professional in the automotive machine shop world. I always wanted to find a good local machine shop where I can hang out just to absorb that sweet knowledge. Great job
Doing a great job with the videos. Thank you for taking the time.
Nothing more enjoyable than watching a master at work.
Always ready to watch a good machinist do his magic. I worked in an automotive machine shop when I was first starting out, I ended up as an engineer working in boring manufacturing facilities, my first love was always racing engines.
You are the difference between a machine shop and an engine machine shop. Getting harder to find an engine machinist. Thank you for sharing.
The videos are not boring. I enjoy watching a craftsman at work.
Keep doing these videos the same way, Gerald. Most folks don't realize that recon/repair work is a whole 'nother animal than simply building or assembling. Strange things lurk beneath the surface of good-looking pieces. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put these videos. Machine shop processes are a favorite type of video.
Great Content !!!
Very informative not boring at all, looking forward to more.
Mr.brand is a dying breed. This world needs more people like Mr. Brand is thorough a perfectionist and knowledgeable. Job well done.
Thanks
Videos like these needs to be seen!!! Machinists are miracle workers & don't get enough credit for what they know & do.
Love the videos Mr. Gerald! Keep them coming, not too many people show the backside of machine work...
Thanks for explaining the process really loved the video and your little plastic bottle chewing girl ❤
Never boring, it’s great just watching you work.
keep doing what you are doing... you are one of the few that actually show how things are done. thanks
Full sending never lifting 😏 🤙 mobbin deep 🙌 knowledge is power 👏 ty for the therapeutic video from life love the vibes
God dam*ed hyrogliphics. Am i supposed to kick a field goal or steal 3rd?
The commentary is really educational. I know a bit about machining in general but nothing about machining motors. Just seeing the process is neat. Thanks for the great videos
Talking to yourself isn't bad but when you argue with yourself it's hard to decide a winner 😂😂 great video
I could watch videos like this all day. Just a true craftsman in his element. Keep the content coming please!!
Great job sir.💯👍👍
The man! Great videos, this is great stuff. You might find machine shop stuff boring after all the years of experience, but for those of us interested in this stuff but not working in this space we love it. Keep up the great work!
Great video Gerald! Love the instructional videos! Not boring at all!!!👍👍👍👍
much love from the UK loving the new channel and what you do on a daily basis
It’s awesome to see this type of content. Normally you just drop it off at the machine shop and come back when it’s done. It’s great to see the behind the scene magic.
Dogs are awesome, we would never made it through the cave man days without them, love the dog! 👍
This is soo enjoyable and informative, thank you!
Awesome video, sir, respect from the UK, a bit more talking please Gerald

You are doing just fine, keep it up. I build my own engines, so watching the machine work I always learn something new. 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful work. Good to see you take pride in your shop. Love these types of content. Thankyou for inviting us in to see you work. Thanks for telling us how to pronounce your name. No the video is not boring.👍
