I built a motor in 2006 with Dart 11 deg big chief heads. All the exhaust rocker bolt holes both the 7/16 and 5/16 ones went into the water jacket. I noticed that when I was putting it together. I put pipe sealer on all the bolts . Never had a problem with them leaking. I would check all your bolt holes or just put sealer on them all as a precaution.
My little boy was making sounds to get Mom's attention but then you guys fire up the first time and he stayed quiet for the whole pull and watch it and listen to it. And happy Holidays
I’m sitting in the hospital with my wife. We just had twin boys and I had to watch my Finnegan’s Garage. I even named one of my sons Michael! I’ve had the honor meeting a few times in a couple of different events, more the most down to earth, humble, and honestly genuine people on the face of the earth.
I was very fortunate to live within driving distance of Factory Pro Tuning. Marc Salvisberg was a genius with motorcycle engines. I learned a lot from him just by observation. Before making the first pull, he would run roadracing engines at a fast idle until the engine casting temperature (measured with an IR gun at the sump) became stable. About 20 minutes for water pumpers and twice that for vintage motors with air cooling.
I loved this episode and it was great seeing Pete again. I remember a while back you mentioned that you didn't do much boat content because it didn't perform as well on the platform, but I gotta say I really enjoy it and I hope you do more. The Side Chick movie a few years ago was epic
I put plumbers putty on all head bolts that go in the water jacket on my race engines!It saves a lot of work and makes it easier to take back apart when you blow the motor!😊
2 carbed dyno tunes are painful, it will like different numbers in the boat with the scoop on. But good results all round. Well done Big Power Pete Harrell
All these problems blow my mind. At this point it might be easier to get a custom set of heads that just have the cam on the valve, imagine that for an idea.
I’m so glad Side Chick will survive a complete drag race weekend now. The amount of stuff wrong with that engine was so great, it’s a wonder you had anything left to FSM-CSI and figure out it needed the magic of Pete!! Great video Mike! You are a great teacher!
Pete is such a solid engine builder, and his tuning seems to be pretty damn impressive. Most cars he works on or tunes seem to do very very well! HED FTW LOL
Picked up a FSM hoodie and a couple sticker packs for my buddies toolboxes as a Christmas gift to myself and the garages. Hoping the channel continues to do well! Happy Holidays!
Just got my sticker packs , red and black FSM hat and the i heart fossil fuels shirt . Super fast shipping and great quality hat and shirt . Thanks for the great content and sweet merch mike !
Glad you didn't give up on this motor. I've had similar problems back in my day and the frustration is a real deal. Walking away and regrouping always helps. Having great friends with talent never hurts. Definitely can't wait for the next boat video. Congratulations on your success. P.S. Maybe a new set of heads will make it under the Christmas tree 🎄 this year 🤷.
Attaboy finnegan, we love seein yas out here on the TH-cam hopefully you’re here to stay with these wicked videos and even MOVIES now! Keep it up finn 💪
Puppy!!😁👍💯🐶🐕 Then Pete,a BBC and a dyno, what's better than that for a Sunday morning?😁 Um, over a thousand horse powers is cool too 🎉 and all the pieces parts stayed inside where they kinda belong, but h20? JB weld please!😊😁 Well it is going in a boat, so can you put a bilge pump in the engine as well? Just saying 😅 pipe dope and zap it down!👍 There you go! Thanks again guys.
wish more ppl that make vides would talk about the price of stuff, awesome video by the way n i hope you enjoy the heck out of your boat! best of luck to you!
Can you pull the head off and finish welding the crack? You'll have to grind it clean through the bolt hole, that has questionable looking threads anyway. Surely the force of the valve hitting the piston impacted your rocker stand and tried to knock it into outer space. Therefore the aluminum cracked all the way to the hardware keeping it inside the valve cover.
Seems like it wouldn't have been too difficult to just machine the heads so that all 8 holes took the same plug, and it was the correct spot in the chamber.
Cool engine. Chasing individual A/F ratios is generally a waste of time as long as the ratios are safe. Most N/A engines are pretty indifferent from 11.5-13:00ish. Probably should check the rest of those rocker stand bolts for water leaks. Should be hella fast.
Dont rely on the numbers on a jet, use a jet gauge or better still flow them . Dont put old jets in your jet box just by matching the numbers, they could have been reemed bigger.
SFP, Mike! I feel bummed for you about that water leak in the head!😮😞🤬 You have struggled with that motor so much already! I hope Pete can get it fixed, and make it reliable for you guys👍👍👍
Those heads are gonna cost you a whole engine im afraid id be looking for a new set when i could afford it i love the boat content btw gl this coming season finn 👍🏻
My friend Nick from Nicks Garage has the same dyno he had a older superflow dyno but the electronics went bad and the parts were hard to find so he got a new one

OH shit it's Pete! I hear he's real good at doin' stuff!
Same thing I said
9:30 is Majestic
Pete is a ROCKSTAR!
Yeah I have heard that a few times let's freaking go brother 🏁💯🇺🇲
Shreds on that guitar too
Title says no power-adder, but Pete is one of the best power-adders you can get!!!😂
Good Sunday morning, hot coffee, a big block on a dyno, a great start to the day
Yep it's raining here so I can't go out the road and cut donuts 😂
@MVPisME383 Freezing rain here
@@scottgshomewrenching1352 7:45 here and its sunny and 50 degrees :)
With frozen rain, it would make a perfect video so my vote is give it a whirl. lol 😊
Pete is an absolute legend 🤙🏻
Big Power Pete! 🔥 He's the only Power Adder you need! 😎
All I'm doing watching your videos turning the volume up turning it down turning it up turning it down
Not just me wondering if it's dodgy,... cool.
Pete is THE MAN!!! fixed the motor and found the leak... he is REAL GOOD and doing STUFF!
How cool would it have been to have Pete's intro on this video!
Big power Pete !

Finnegan n Pete. Christmas came early. That dyno is about to pop a wheelie.

Congratulations on your twin boys 👶🍼👶🍼
@ thank you
Congrats!
Twin boys? Twin hotrod builds in your future!
Congrats to you and your wife on healthy twin boys

The boat stuff isn’t is popular but I love drag boat racing so I’ll continue to drop stuff about it. :)
@@FinnegansGarage I’m just reminding you again you’d probably love a Cole runner bottom better with a blown BBC. Tons of fun working the pedals.
I put plumbers putty on all head bolts that go in the water jacket on my race engines!It saves a lot of work and makes it easier to take back apart when you blow the motor!😊
So glad to see this update. Coincidently I just watched all the previous videos on this engine build last week. Keep it cool Finnegan.
2 carbed dyno tunes are painful, it will like different numbers in the boat with the scoop on. But good results all round. Well done Big Power Pete Harrell
You got the best tuner for the job. Pete Real good at doing stuff.
I’m really surprised you haven’t gotten rid of those problematic heads and gotten a different set
All these problems blow my mind. At this point it might be easier to get a custom set of heads that just have the cam on the valve, imagine that for an idea.
@@tomstech4390Gotta make content my guy
Petes hair blowing in the wind😂 love it

I watched the teardown video like 2 days ago thinking it was new and this dropped as I was hoping to see where it went keep up the fantastic work mike
Pete is such a solid engine builder, and his tuning seems to be pretty damn impressive. Most cars he works on or tunes seem to do very very well! HED FTW LOL
Good timing I just watched you pulling it apart yesterday.
Big power Pete. I heard he's real good at doing stuff and things
Picked up a FSM hoodie and a couple sticker packs for my buddies toolboxes as a Christmas gift to myself and the garages. Hoping the channel continues to do well! Happy Holidays!
Hey man, Pete is the ultimate power adder.
Pete is the man! Glad he got it sorted out for you👍
9:30 is Majestic ❤
I thought the same thing
Great seeing Pete on the job
Pete's flow is awesome 👌😎
Just got my sticker packs , red and black FSM hat and the i heart fossil fuels shirt .
Super fast shipping and great quality hat and shirt . Thanks for the great content and sweet merch mike !
Every video with Pete gets a thumbs up!
Great vdieo and money well spent. I am looking forward to chapter 2 on this. Many thanks.
If Pete is involved. This old big block is gonna sing!
Glad you didn't give up on this motor. I've had similar problems back in my day and the frustration is a real deal. Walking away and regrouping always helps. Having great friends with talent never hurts. Definitely can't wait for the next boat video. Congratulations on your success.

Is there something up with the sound? Voice level keeps changing.
Yeah... but the engine sounds are on point lol. Everyone in my house going wtf
Attaboy finnegan, we love seein yas out here on the TH-cam hopefully you’re here to stay with these wicked videos and even MOVIES now!
Keep it up finn 💪
Well he's been here for 8 years now so I'd say he's not going anywhere.
More to come!
Puppy!!😁👍💯🐶🐕

ole Big Power Pete, worth the price of admission
Engines are expensive but I love your content with Pete. Pete’s the man!!! Btw, my Blasphemi sweatshirt arrived yesterday! Bitchin!
Does Cleetus still have a big race boat? Go to Florida for us nationals
Oooh snap.. big power Pete with furious finnegan this is sum great stuff 👌🔥💪
Watching roadkill on TV and seen this notification pop up on my phone lol. Glad you all are keeping on keeping on!
Wooohooo... boat stuff!! love it! Been missing the drag boat
Big power Pete Harrell in the house. Nice
Mike you need to get clip on mics as we can hardly hear when you’re not near the camera. Anyhoo big love from the uk 🇬🇧
wish more ppl that make vides would talk about the price of stuff, awesome video by the way n i hope you enjoy the heck out of your boat! best of luck to you!
Prices change too much. Google isn't hard
Real good at doing stuff!

And made all the rocker stand ect. Bolt holes blind.
Anytime there's a Pete, there is gonna be big power. Cause he's real good at doin stuff. Big Power Pete Harrell 💪
Please make more boat videos when you can. I work on my Jetboat in the winter and it’s definitely positive reinforcement 👍.
That's a long dyno session. You definitely got your money's worth. Glad you got it sorted. Now go blast some water. 👍
Well worth the price, Peter is awesome. When will we see it run?
Great start to a Sunday. Cup of Joe and your video.😊
When I saw Pete in the thumbnail I knew we were about to see some horsepower.
Big power Pete Harrel!
Could a threaded plug be locktighted down in the hole and still have room for the rocker stand bolt?
Good idea
Peter...Legend!!
Why wouldn't you retap the one head so the plugs would seat?
Cool engine. Chasing individual A/F ratios is generally a waste of time as long as the ratios are safe. Most N/A engines are pretty indifferent from 11.5-13:00ish. Probably should check the rest of those rocker stand bolts for water leaks.

Hope pete makes a polishing turds vid of your motor on his channel
It was coming from the head stud!!
Perfect timing. Love your videos. Thank you.
Just a little adjustment in audio levels next time pls ;)
Big power Pete
Mr Sam would be saying 110 instead of 99's! Man some big ole Jets!
If I was you I would be looking for another set of heads
Big power pete!

When you get ready to spray call fast lane n20 ,do your research he is the man,3 yrs been awesome,c23 spraying 42 jet no issues
I think we can all agree that someone that finishes projects is building the 57 gasser wagon now……on this time crunch.
Owning a dyno would be cool. As long as it's not an inertia dyno like you described.
My friend Nick from Nicks Garage has the same dyno he had a older superflow dyno but the electronics went bad and the parts were hard to find so he got a new one
This shows becoming my Sunday morning routine 😂 hope to see a video with freiburger soon
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done…
Every baby step Pete takes is 300hp increase.😂
Definitely worth 💴!! Well spent 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I recognize Pete from the Cleetus channel 😊❤
Gentleman I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell. I got to have more cowbell!
Hey Finn just wondering if you ever went back and check your little water drip on that rocker stand??
You know Pete is real good at doing stuff when you see him on multiple channel's but hardly his own 😂
Can you adjust the fuel ratio in the lean cylinders with a colder plug?
Put it in the water by Bald Eagle Airfield. It could be a good proof of concept for Cleetus.
Where is STEVE BREW-LAY when you need him?
We muss the carb whisperer. ❤❤😊
Is the bad vibration that is causing everything to loosen up from it being mounted to the dyno or is the rotating assembly out of balance?
Mike, are you running any data logger in Side Chick? O2 or egt sensors in the boat?
You better check all the other rocker stand holes because if there is one it's a good chance there are more.
Much love from Guam! 🤙🏾🇬🇺🇺🇸🍻
About time he got rid of the Hemi
