Anytime I take someone to the drags for the first time I always make a point to take them to the pits when they bring the cars back. And it always impresses them how within five minutes of pulling in, the blower,cylinder heads,clutch are all out and being worked on.
I have a question. Would it not be easier just to pull that engine and put a fresh one in that’s all ready to go. Then the team could spend time to rebuild that one. That’s a great video of some very skilled mechanics that really know there jobs. Thanks.
Now THAT is teamwork... watching everything in real time is great... at 0:36 the guy on this side removes 8 plugwires in 2 seconds... 2:45 and 2:50, rocker shaft assemblies, then one guy does the valley stud nuts while 2 guys on the sides hit the main head stud nuts... then, at 3:20, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Well I got 3:54 seconds before vid ended. That's damn fast. But, sadly, I don't have that kind of help-even to just replace my water pump. Are you guys available to help me next weekend?
Sigh, back in the good old days when my wife's company sponsored one of the cars, we would get a front row seat to this kind of thing every summer. Amazing to have that many people working furiously in that cramped space, and nobody gets in each others way. You don't hear a lot of talking; everyone knows their part and does it smoothly. It's like a dance. Oh, and all the tools get put away promptly, LOL.
I went to the 4 wide nationals when I was in college in Charlotte NC. I'm a circle track late model asphalt driver amd I have never heard something so loud and fast in my life the top fuel dragster 4 at a time will hurt your chest if your on the starting grid and I got to watch forces car get tore down and rebuilt in 10 minutes and I was allowed to be right next to them due to my vip passes I got from a nhra friend of mine and those motors are all ment to be done that quick you got 2 bolts and 4 big straps holding down blower and intake only. And they have about 10 trays ready to go with brand new everything to rebuild motor on each tray
James Watters an old comment, but think of how much strain that engine is under during that pass. That and the fact there is no coolant system on these engines.
And just about five minutes earlier that car was going nearly 300 mph. That motor is still warm.

After 4 minutes I would finally find my half inch wrench and show up to say what ever is left does it require a half inch wrench?
Sure is easy when there is no frame, steering pump, water pump, coolant, radiator, hood and all the small bits that get in the way.
Takes me 55 mins to replace a crank sensor.
lol
Took me 6 hours
Amazing team work...
In this 5 mins,I manage to remember how to pop and lift my hood to top up the screen wash.
Something tells me these guys could pull off a legendary bank heist if they had to.
“if they had to”
They have a job and they practice

Damn... they's fast.

Great video about a well oiled team ( pun intended). Do they do riding mowers?

That one guy had a helluva time with that turn signal.
3:50. A guy says wow. Yup!

OK rookie question here - why don’t they just replace the engine instead of rebuilding the same one? Is it a NHRA rule?
There's almost something disturbing about this
Do they install new rings?
They just removed the intake and heads...
I'd like to see how these guys compare with an F1 team for a tyre change.
It usually takes a team 22 mins to rebuild a motor they must be under a crunch
Well now it makes sense why they exhaust pipes are as short as the are.
Wow that's a team
What 10k per hour looks like
Wooow, these people are working like and on a wel oiled machine.fast
oh digital zoom, how useless art thou, let me count the ways.
1 - All ways. :)
I can do a valve lash adjustment on a Honda in 30 min or less....
what is that falling out the bottom at 0:43?
some heat shield? I dunno
The diaper. So if you leak oil it's not all over the track.
Them Force cars hit the pits @ 35 MPH!
RedArrow73 Yeah, and with an NHRA Security escort to boot!
The disc's & floaters will be hot for at least 2 hours!
not real mechanicing, i didnt see any leftover bolts
lifelessdead89 no bolts, just studs
3 minutes if they were using harbor freight tools👍
Trying to be cute? Think you're funny?
@@acepaul407 kiss sucks
Where's my 10 mm socket!!!!
I see James "Get The Toolbox" and Cleetus have taught you well.
Videos that end too soon.
I would like to see them tearing up the engine
They do this for mostly entertainment purposes now. It's hilarious watching them think they're super important 🤣
Hot rod ballet.
Lunch break or just a tole it for my friend who is a genius??
why do they do this?

Adrenaline,Money,Prestige,Chicks,Dudes for Alexis-ect,Fans,Fame.
Stephen King at 1:30
Sorry but not torn down,, Pistons, rods, and crank bearings are still in it,, It has a long way to go
they changed piston , conrod , bearing , etc on every single race
Don Simonsen they only tore down the top half of this motor
Pedant
Ops, tearing up is wrong. I should say : rebuilding :P Sorry
So they go down the strip in just a few seconds. So is it really neccessary they have to rebuild them after EVERY run? The seems crazy.
Engine litterally tears itself apart in those few seconds.
