“You guys caught me” Nothing gets past the professionally trained eyes of the TH-cam comment section…Steve always addresses this stuff even though he owes zero explanation. Such a stand up dude
@@thewitt76 yes sir. Why people need to give Steve the business like they know how to run a successful build shop. He is doing it and is one of the best around.
Addressing the armchair experts is very beneficial for his channel/business. He doesn’t owe any explanations but giving them is undeniably profitable long term.
I will never need to know this much,but I can't stop watching. Steve's very informative. This is why Garrett was soo happy to get a Steve Morris engine and had to find better I bet!!!
Steve, you put out a tremendous product to your customers. Seeing how this engine looks after watching Cleetus and the boys lean very hard on it just goes to show your attention to detail. Engine building is an art, and you are one hell of an artist.
I used to think I was an engine builder, but watching the work that you put into these engines now makes me realize I was just an engine assembler. All the engine shops in my area treat these procedures like voodoo, they won't let you peek behind the curtain, you tear the curtain down and show what it takes to build a top tier engine.. Thank you.
Just throwing my own 2 pesos in; That IS very impressive longevity for what it is in that application. Goes to show how good oil, 3,000 road miles between passes plus the 150+ passes themselves helps keep things evenly worn. I love it when engine builders actually think their builds *all the way through* such as this one 👍 You're a good dude Steve
You are the man, Mr. Steve Morris. It's such cool stuff to learn. I am very impressed with the integrity of those particular parts and the abuse they have withstood.
Steve, I think a side by side comparison of THIS motor VS a SMX would be a great video. Like a physical side by side of the 2, going over the nuances of each. What makes either or good in certain applications
I would like to commend and thank both you and Garrett for always being completely open about showing us EVERYTHING on Garrett's cars. None of the old school Pro Mod & Top Fuel secret squirrel crap where all the tech was hidden and treated like nuclear launch codes.
This is the most informative tear down I've seen on TH-cam. I'm sure there is a million more things you could discuss, Steve, but this was truly an enlightening video series for me. Your work is highly impressive, and the car community is lucky to have you. I'm looking forward to the cleanup and rebuild process now.
As a student in the automotive field, having this as entertainment is freaking awesome. The things I'm learning in class go hand and hand with what you're actually performing in front of a camera, which helps me so much more than anyone would think. Absolute class act professional Steve is.
Sharing the cause and effect as well as the in depth detail signs of what you're looking for in each part is greatly appreciated even if we don't partake in racing any longer. It's simply fascinating from a design and manufacturing perspective on something completely outside of our realm. Thank you and we really love the Dewey appearances! Cheers!
It’s so refreshing to see somebody share this level of knowledge. I am a diesel tech, but I learn something that I will take back to work with me. Thank you and keep up the absolutely awesome contact!
The combination of knowledge, precision equipment and experience equals a motor like Mullets which ran 150+ passes and 3000+ miles without failing! Well Done Steve and staff! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Left a like and a comment to help drive up your engagement and try and make up for the loss in views from the last video. Thanks for taking the time to make these amazing videos! 👍
Best engine builder in the world still has humility to apologize to TH-cam commenters. Steve is an awesome dude! Learn so much from your videos thank you for taking the time to create them.
Thank you Steve! Really love the teardowns. Your trained eye and experience has me rethinking about what I used to call good. Bearing wear has been my weakness. I had no idea a bearing could tell you so much.

You know what amazes me most about this engine. Considering how this engine lives its life, the sides of those pistons aren't even marked. 😮 Kudos to the builder coz Cleetus abuses the life out of it🙂
This is awesome! I’ve been a mechanic for 6 years now and I know how to replace parts but it’s awesome seeing how each thing works with each other and what different wear marks mean
Soooo glad I follow cleeter because he lead me to this channel right after you showed up in his shop and I haven’t missed many of yours because you sir are the best of the best ….🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best move cleetus did getting you to build him an engine for mullet. . He'll be hanging with you and Bailey if/when he steps it up to an smx. . Great work steve
I don’t think it was the fog. He said in his video that he decided not to run the car anymore as Mullet was WAY faster than the other remaining cars. He clearly didn’t feel right beating up on lesser cars at HIS race.
@danmyers9372 He said if mullet won it would go to second place, and since Mullet already made a pass way better than the competition could..he called it there.
Kudos to the spring manufacturer. To maintain nearly the same rates as when new after how many hard passes at 8000 (?) rpm with heavy big block valvetrain. Very impressive.
Steve, you're a treasure to gearhead youtube. The tidal wave of information you give out for free, and the open display of your services are a sight to behold.
Yeah we pretty much don’t have a choice on dirt oval with the higher horse power wet sump cars like ump mods (latemodels are dry sump) due to rules not allowing dry sump for “”cost cutting”” reasons or we’ll end up starving the bottom end due to the gforces entering the turns
crazy how well it held up with the amount of abuse it went through, especially considering it was past the recommended lifespan. really a testament to how solid you build your stuff. really appreciate the deep dive on the refresh! learning so much from your videos.
Steve didn't "cobble" ,Cletus did because of the length & where his fuel lines originally terminated. Should have just installed longer new lines going to the front where they were intended to hookup.
I don’t expect it to look this good in a year, cleater is pushing it way harder now than when it was installed and he’s going to be turning it up even more in the future.

So cool and also astonishing that all internals, all designs of these motors have basically been like this for close to 100 years. Yes, metallurgy has improved, machining tolerances have improved, oil characteristics have improved, but the design of pistons, rods, bearings, oil journals, everything is proven over 100 years
Not to many engine guys/ladies go into detail about the inner working of their engines. Everything is a secret or well guarded but you put it all on the table. Us little guys enjoy the knowledge drop!
I watched half of the first teardown video yesterday and when I got on a little bit ago there were 40k less views I was like wth? But I'm glad I got to finish the super informative video. Thank you Steve for sharing your years of knowledge with all of us 🤘
This video is a perfect example of why hands on experience trumps book smarts every single solitary time. Steve is a real world hands on mechanic. His knowledge is not coming from years of studying and classes. That’s trial and error, that’s years of “ oops that didn’t work let’s try this” not saying he doesn’t take classes or hasn’t in the past. Because you have to in this game. I’m just say when he speaks it doesn’t sound like a teacher reading to you from a textbook. It’s coming from a man with bloody knuckles and permanently greasy hands from years of hard work. THAT IS THE GUY I WANT BEHIND MY ENGINE EVERY SINGLE TIME. BOTTOM LINE. 🇺🇸💪🏼
Not gonna lie we’ve done that with dirt track engines more than a few times when we’ve lost a engine and couldn’t get another in time. I kid you not one my buddies his backup engine for years literally had 4 different types of pistons in it dang thing would still be getting stuffed into random cars if he hadn’t dropped a valve. Dang thing ran like a scolded dog and we still have no idea why such a piece of junk ran like it did
The confidence and knowledge you have is awesome. You literally could have caught the lifter on a valve lash put a lifter and bearings and sent it back. The power out of that engine is insane for a bbc. Good job Steve
The appreciation I have of the knowledge you share and explaining everything in a way that I understand everything but doesn't make me feel like I'm dumb is why I love this channel. Lol
Dude, I picked up on your channel via Cleetus, and it has taken me a couple of vids to gain an interest, but your explanation of this engine breakdown was a pleasure. I'm a subscriber now and curious to see how you can inform and entertain with your schtick.
@@ohlookadragon if i was steve id give cleet one for free, cleetus is the single best advertising for any autoparts right now, every rich fanboy will be wanting to put an smx motor in there 10 second street car for clout.
@@trevm3647definitely not given away, it is cheap advertising when considering the extremely targeted audience and long term impact. I’d guarantee that simplisafe gives Cleetus more than 115k annually, probably double that, just for those 60 or 90 second ads to a generalised audience. Half of Cleetus’ viewers either don’t own homes/businesses or are kids and have no interest in using/paying simplisafe. Almost all of Cleetus’ viewers have interest in built engines and intention to afford/purchase race related products in the future. Honestly donating a 115k engine to the biggest drag racing TH-camr would be a good investment, keeping in mind the engine’s cost isn’t 115k, that’s the sale price.
@@willkelley7747 i think garret is very smart how he does all his builds in stages, because he can create far more content and keep people coming back for more like a soap opera, had he built a promod 5 or 6 years ago people would get bored fast. He will squeeze every last drop of life from the brodix block then step up to the smx when he starts shooting for 5's. Then leroy will get handme down big block and then handme down smx.
With all them miles and all of them passes and 2 step checks speaks volumes about the build quality you guys put into every motor if and wen i ever have the funds to have a motor built i wont be calling anyone other then Steve morris engines i dont care if i have to wait in line for a year 😂
I professionally review engines for a living and I find watching these videos very entertaining. It's a bit different to review an engine that's designed to run for a few hundred passes versus something that's designed for hundreds of thousands of miles. It also takes a lot of experience to be knowledgeable in all of the components of the engine.
Really enjoyed your 2022 recap video and also the Cleetus rebuild so far. Sounds like he didn't hurt the engine too bad. Keep up the good workand best of luck in the future.
Just curious, is mullet running an oil accumulator? 2 litres @ 40psi accumulator will prevent oil pressure dropping, essentially its a surge tank for your oil supply line.
Interesting to see the color change on cylinder #1. Crazy to think the VE of that cylinder changed enough due to the exhuast valve not fully opening by what 30-40 thousands. Holley system didn't know the VE was off on that cylinder so it injected enough fuel for what it expected for airflow not knowing the cylinder couldn't ingest the same amount of air due to the cylinder not emptying completly. #1 cylinder Airflow dropped fuel amount stayed constant and the cylinder went rich and is evidenced by the black exhuast valve. Pretty neat. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge Steve. I learned a few things about reading bearings ect, and witnessed I few things I had never thought about.
He shows his experience troubleshooting big tire shake I mean wow. I thought I knew what I was talking about to some degree but this guy has the wisdom listening intently Good sir!
Great Video, Steve. I really appreciate how you take the time to explain issues, it probably took years to learn. I wish I had you as an Auto Shop Teacher years ago. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.

Steve thank you for video. great to see a good explanation about what you looking in engine rebuild.
I think Cleetus should upgrade to the SMX be better in the long run
Its coming ..he just doesn't know it yet
@@willkelley7747 i think garret is very smart how he does all his builds in stages, because he can create far more content and keep people coming back for more like a soap opera, had he built a promod 5 or 6 years ago people would get bored fast. He will squeeze every last drop of life from the brodix block then step up to the smx when he starts shooting for 5's. Then leroy will get handme down big block and then handme down smx.
@@timothycarey3883 yep
What a Awesome Video of the year down . Very technical . Great job on Mullets engine Steve . 🇺🇸
They don’t want to pay
With all them miles and all of them passes and 2 step checks speaks volumes about the build quality you guys put into every motor if and wen i ever have the funds to have a motor built i wont be calling anyone other then Steve morris engines i dont care if i have to wait in line for a year 😂
I professionally review engines for a living and I find watching these videos very entertaining. It's a bit different to review an engine that's designed to run for a few hundred passes versus something that's designed for hundreds of thousands of miles. It also takes a lot of experience to be knowledgeable in all of the components of the engine.
SO MUCH WINNING!🏁 Tom, Cleetus, and Steve will DESTROY anyone!
Really enjoyed your 2022 recap video and also the Cleetus rebuild so far. Sounds like he didn't hurt the engine too bad. Keep up the good workand best of luck in the future.
Very good of you to share your knowledge man.
Appreciate you showing all of this thank you much
4 stroke piston engines are awesome. Very inefficient, but just so sweet
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Man, my brain hurts from all this knowledge!!!
I think it’s awesome that the dog is supervising you.
😂😂 some one NEEDS to keep an eye on you!!!! 😂😂
Just curious, is mullet running an oil accumulator? 2 litres @ 40psi accumulator will prevent oil pressure dropping, essentially its a surge tank for your oil supply line.
Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about the TH-cam viewing losses. God bless.
Interesting to see the color change on cylinder #1. Crazy to think the VE of that cylinder changed enough due to the exhuast valve not fully opening by what 30-40 thousands. Holley system didn't know the VE was off on that cylinder so it injected enough fuel for what it expected for airflow not knowing the cylinder couldn't ingest the same amount of air due to the cylinder not emptying completly. #1 cylinder Airflow dropped fuel amount stayed constant and the cylinder went rich and is evidenced by the black exhuast valve. Pretty neat.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge Steve. I learned a few things about reading bearings ect, and witnessed I few things I had never thought about.
Steve - You made a heck of an engine. Mullet took an absolute POUNDING, it kept running and it still looks mint. Outstanding work.
I'm just super engaged in watching anything you do. Super knowledgeable person! And great teacher.
37:38 I like watching your videos I may not understand everything but I do enjoy learning how everything work Thankyou Steve keep it up
Thanks for sharing Steve. Cool valvr spring tester setup.
Love how in depth you get.
He shows his experience troubleshooting big tire shake I mean wow. I thought I knew what I was talking about to some degree but this guy has the wisdom listening intently Good sir!
Great Video, Steve. I really appreciate how you take the time to explain issues, it probably took years to learn. I wish I had you as an Auto Shop Teacher years ago. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.
