Amen... The look on Steve's face as he brain went "TILT" when suddenly confronted with Turbo and Oil pump coating / mods... We might have some real innovative engine updates being tested this year and integrated into SM engines for 2025....
Shout out to Clark on the assembly. Nice to see professional, methodical, precise and clean prep and assembly work, always good to see a tradesman do his job so well.
When Andy was talking about the turbo and oil pump coatings I could see the wheels turning in Steve's mind on his facial expressions. Very cool knowledge to be had here about these coatings. Thanks for all these videos you do and for Line 2 Line Coatings for providing the details on the coatings.
Wonder if they could coat my rotors and also the inside of my blower to decrease the clearance inside the blower plus have the triple strips thats already on the rotors?
That is SO great....at 17:45 when Andy is talking about coating turbo's and bearings you can actually SEE the wheels turning in Steve's head as he's contemplating the ramifications of that kind of thing. Very cool technology that is sure to find many uses in the high performance world.
Clark is obviously no joke! For Steve to trust him with assembly and installation speaks volumes! Bring on the 5's for 2024! Next level stuff with the hi tech coatings!
I think you should receive some type of award for your truly honest transparency in your videos. You give some of the absolutely some of the most useful information on your videos. Keep doing what you do and wish you all the best at sick week! Go fast or stay home!!!
I am always amazed of what I learn from Steve’s channel. This technology can transfer over to so many other industries I am involved in. Funny how I have not heard of this. I am an Aerospace and Prototype Machine Engineer, and after 42 yrs I am still learning lots of new stuff. This is awesome.
Its funny 50 years ago I did just the same thing with a Yamaha SRX engine. I was working at a defense plant and we built massive guns for the US Navy. They had a coating that was used on gun slides. I coated them pistons to where they were a press fit, and just as he mentioned it fixed itself. So it has taken the racing world over 40 years to catch up to the military contractors.
Do you still have that sled? One of the best! How’d it run? Could you lean it out ? I did the same with a polaris 600 punched out to a 660, and would hold it’s own with piped up 800’s. I did throw a lot of lite weight products on it. 2006
Just to help Clark out on his favorite job....if you throw an oil ring on the piston you are using to square the ring in the bore when grinding em it makes it much quicker and is more repeatable.
I love the music steve puts in his video's theres not many other channels that look for good rock music most just put the same ole song for there time lapse one of the things i love about this channel and all the tech you could ask for
I've done the coating on so many things. Exaust and compressor housings. I noticed a decent drop in intake charge temp. I use the coating on used engines that I don't want to bore. Just a hone and then coating takes up the gap. Good stuff.
@@bigduphusaj162 Not quite, Georges was an evaporust job! It might have lived if he used this coating. George just removed the bad stuff without adding any good stuff and then the ......I guess it doesn't matter whether good or bad, but all the stuff came out of the engine and Jackstand Jimmy yelled from the shop that I just heard that engine blow!😁
I've been really interested in those Line2Line coatings since the first mention from you, especially with turbos. Please let them do your compressor housings. I'd like to see how the boost curve changes. Thanks guys! Love it all!
Amazing how coating technology has increased over the years and it constantly goes up at a logarithmic rate. I have been in the aerospace industry for decades and been around a lot of coating geeks and the things I have seen over the past 20 years is mind blowing. I would love to be in the high performance automotive side of the sector and watch the technology increase. Oh I order my hoodie too so I hope I’m fortunate enough to get a piston and rod with my order I could definitely make some cool garage art out of it.
SM is my favorite TH-cam channel.... I'm far removed from motorsports now that I live in the Philippine but I'm a gearhead forever. I have to say that I'm so impressed with Clarks speed getting the engine together and back in the car, great job Clark....
These long format videos being chocked full of technical information are a gem, Steve. No other engine designer is going to share their TDP and why they make changes to their designs. Most of the viewers simply enjoy the content while those of us that aren't involved in the racing industry however we do appreciate the empirical side of things having a manufacturing background, albeit in an unrelated industry. And no SME video is complete without a Dewey cameo which always makes our day brighter. We still have some hoodies untouched but why not add a couple more hoodies and a Dewbert shirt so as to ease some of the strain on the Wagon budget? It's a win-win for everyone and we're looking forward to seeing the feedback video on the piston & bearing coating. The piston coating reminds us of the DFL from Cerakote and the exhaust coating reminds us of their piston coating (oven cure) offering. Cheers! Edit: No Dewbert shirt - sold out in our size. Blue SM shirt instead. Cheers!
That's a dangerous look you had Steve when this guy is talking about coating bearings and turbos that's a lot to changes for sickweek but they are interesting.
Clark does a GREAT JOB!! hope your Feed him Good. Great video and also the one about your Wife's car! Always learning something with your video's Steve.
LMAO. Steve, when he mentioned turbos with zero clearance, zero friction and curve shift to the left I could literally see the gears turning behind your eyes... can't wait to see where the possibilities lead you. As always an awesome video.
Man steve ur 2023 Sick week was brutal man, Steve ur quest is truly crazy commited to science of parts logevity = Speed ur commitment is legendatry thanks for sharing and teaching so many folks how hard gain thousands let alone 10ths
I worked assembling motors for my uncles race shop in my teens and 20s never have i delt with billet blocks and heads only been able to deal with iron blocks with spec aluminum heads i miss it. Now in my late 40s would love to get back into race engines im a heavy diesel mechanic for the time being lol
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR MOST INTERESTING ITS A CLASS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL. YOU ARE THE GO TO GUY AND AS I WATCHED I NOTICED YIUR EYES GOT BIGGER WHEN HE SAID COATING OIL PUMP TURBO INTERNAL. BEARINGS COATED. YEP. THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. FOR MORE POWER LESS WEAR. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
Wow, I got a whole new appreciation for pistons. I just put rings on them and stuck them in the block. Did dirt track racing and 1/4 mile. Two different tunes but I made it work. Chevy for the dirt, and 70 Mach 1 mustang for the 1/4 mile. I learned to diversify.
Line to line is a great product. I was amazed the first time I had them coat a piston and how it helped the engine seal up. Also had them save a dry sump oil pump for a customer that I couldn’t get parts for polished out the the high spots had them coat it. Had more oil pressure than when it was new.
Hell yeah! Absolutely amazing stuff… My brain is running wild like the look on Steve’s face, thinking of all the possibilities of use for the coating lol. First thing I thought before ever hearing it, was roots blower lobes… Self clearancing and never wears out basically… No more Teflon!!! Lol. Tight tolerances on rotor to rotor and rotor to case, with no excess heat build up either… like the Teflon does… Him mentioning the turbo compressor housings… amazing! Can tell that’s happening by the look on Steve’s face lol. Awesome just awesome. Far as the piston redesign goes, I thought immediately of a diesel piston… They have massive ring lands, and an iron reinforced ring grove if they’re aluminum lol. Then there’s absolute insanity with forged steel pistons lol. Due to their cylinder pressure… 👍🤘👏
Man, I can't wait to see Steve lean on the monster SMX 😮, just hope he gets the power to the ground 👍🏻👍🏻, keep up the excellent work 😊😊 P.s a big shout out to Clark, for being entrusted to put the beast back together 😂💪🏻☺️
Brother this is some awesome content.. I sure hope I make enough $ this week to buy a black hoodie and hopefully get a piston from the wagon for my birthday on the 14th. Of this month. Thanks Steve you are the # 1 man on this utube.
clark seems to bo almost a clone of your work philosophy and deserves a lot of credit for his dedication. I keep waiting for him to do a verison of Let's Do the time Warp though. LOL great job Clark.
My friends father ,back in the 80s was a distributor for protec anti friction engine treatment ,he showed me the roller bearing friction results ,they were like 50%of regular oil ,I wonder how it compares to your anti-friction additives, im still waiting for the grand announcement of the SM-XX and SM-XXX. 700+ AND 900+ CUBIC IN.
Shout out to Clark !! Steve lucky to have a friend to trust to assemble the heart of your race week motor👍 most my friend I’d question a tire change lol
Awesome video.Loved the inspection/engineering of the ring package. Great to be able to see the iterative evolution of an amazing engine. Next up: pneumatic valve springs :)
Not a big hoodie guy! Ordered a grey T-shirt! Maybe I will get lucky! 😆 loving the content Steve. Tech tips are awesome to see. Always love to learn stuff like this! Wish you the best of luck on the big event coming up! 💪💪💪
The pistons need several heat cycles to take a set , in other words aluminum when machined or heated , expands at differant rates based on thickness, amount of heat,consistancy of heat over various thicknesses,etc. I worked in tool and die shops, and found , if you worked a square piece ,you had to skin every side and start over, because it moved around so much ! Hope this helps .
This is amazing information on how he makes his engines have so much capable horsepower I really wondered how he was making 4500 horsepower with a piston drive engine without nitromethane
Big SHOUT OUT to Andy and the guys at Line 2Line Coatings! You're doing some seriously clever S**T, and Andy very well explained, every day is school day! Thank you! Steve as ever I always learn something from every one of your videos! Great work & ❤ to you and to everyone involved especially Clark and Dewey! Can't wait to see the Wagon back in action! 🙂😎🤓
Coating turbos and pistons sound great, but I'm fascinated at the idea of the oil pump. Being able to maintain more pressure at higher oil temperatures would be nice.
I had line2line do my pistons after some rings butted and scuffed my pistons. The break in procedure is a little less than straight forward. I'll be pulling my engine apart this winter just to see what is left. I had a very dark oil change but started with .0015 clearance on a tunnel ram big block Mopar. Very good product
You keep coming up with new ways to format the videos and i like it alot. mixing things up is good imo. to the entire crew at sme; you can all sit down after a days work knowing that you made something amazing. not many ppl can do that.. hope you all appreciate the uniqueness of that:) love from norway
@17:40. TH-cam Gold! Oh BTW what he is talking about there is similar to honeycomb liners in a jet engine. The blades burrow into the honeycomb liner and improve compression.
why u will sucsead were others wount....:u r willing to push the envlope to its break'n point (as costly as it might be)...that is the only way to find what will fail & "were" it will fail...!.than u can correct it..which will ultametly makes a "better" product"...!..better products...are what seam 2 be lacking nowadays...!..thanks 4 all the info in the videos...LOVE them cause they make sence...!...& you explane things REALY well...good luck testing with both cars...stay healthy...Brian
I love the channel Steve ive learned lots just from watching y'all. I love learning neq things we all learn something new everyday i just finished building my 318 dodge Ls yes dodge and chevy together makes amazing power on just motor before the turbo wakes it up.
Wow, I do love it when 2 smart guys have a conversation like this and we are allowed to listen in. Cool stuff. Clark buddy, the faces behind steve had me breaking up .
No lie, back in the day I would spray paint the inside of my compressor covers to take up clearances. It worked.......When a local class required us to run a 75mm style turbo with stock stuff.....lol
I still can't get over how that wagon launches like an arrow out of a crossbow! And this coating technology is amazing! As a Mechanical Engineer (now retired) I can see all kinds of applications for this stuff! And, for the record, the first thing I thought of seeing that piston was "some kind of bonded Graphite coating"...
Funny to see the gears turn in Steve's head when he heard about all the places they can put that coating.
If you put his brain on that hub dyno at that moment he woulda broke it.
Yep😅😅😅
I was laughing so loud because my brain did the same thing at the same time.
I had to google L2L and think I’ll plain to send them a bunch of parts :D
It doesn't stop leaks.😂
Amen... The look on Steve's face as he brain went "TILT" when suddenly confronted with Turbo and Oil pump coating / mods...
We might have some real innovative engine updates being tested this year and integrated into SM engines for 2025....
He broke Steve's brain with throwing out them doing turbos and moving the boost curve
Shout out to Clark for absolutely killing it! .... and pulling faces in the background too. Legend.
Shout out to Clark on the assembly. Nice to see professional, methodical, precise and clean prep and assembly work, always good to see a tradesman do his job so well.
When Andy was talking about the turbo and oil pump coatings I could see the wheels turning in Steve's mind on his facial expressions. Very cool knowledge to be had here about these coatings. Thanks for all these videos you do and for Line 2 Line Coatings for providing the details on the coatings.
Yup same here
Wonder if they could coat my rotors and also the inside of my blower to decrease the clearance inside the blower plus have the triple strips thats already on the rotors?
Tec tip for 2024 , do not send your wife there ,would be an early 4th of july
Clarky is really good at putting those SMX engines together and installing them in the car
Working like a machine
That is SO great....at 17:45 when Andy is talking about coating turbo's and bearings you can actually SEE the wheels turning in Steve's head as he's contemplating the ramifications of that kind of thing. Very cool technology that is sure to find many uses in the high performance world.

You mean you've never heard of engine coatings? Engines nowadays have different coatings on every part it seems! Respect for your career tho!
I love this content in between races! No other channel has such good tech videos

As the technology advances Steve, thanks for sharing this with us.
I drag race and this information is gold!
its so nice that Clark has more comfy with the camera!!
I've done the coating on so many things. Exaust and compressor housings. I noticed a decent drop in intake charge temp. I use the coating on used engines that I don't want to bore. Just a hone and then coating takes up the gap. Good stuff.
what just like LS George did back before the entite lot came out the bottom end one time?
@@bigduphusaj162 Not quite, Georges was an evaporust job! It might have lived if he used this coating. George just removed the bad stuff without adding any good stuff and then the ......I guess it doesn't matter whether good or bad, but all the stuff came out of the engine and Jackstand Jimmy yelled from the shop that I just heard that engine blow!😁

That's awesome man I would love to pick your brain it is all so awesome to know how things are done at such a level as that
I can see Steve's gears going around, throughout, with all the possibilities. Pistons, bearings, turbos, pumps FTW.
I thought Clark was gonna winter in Florida this year. Making him work hard in retirement. See ya all at sick week. Ferris state alum.
SM is my favorite TH-cam channel.... I'm far removed from motorsports now that I live in the Philippine but I'm a gearhead forever.
I have to say that I'm so impressed with Clarks speed getting the engine together and back in the car, great job Clark....
I'm 79 ,gear heads are forever---------!!
Can't wait to see teardown with coated pistons! Hopefully on a maintenance teardown.
These long format videos being chocked full of technical information are a gem, Steve. No other engine designer is going to share their TDP and why they make changes to their designs.

I know Pete Harrell at Herrell engine and dyno uses Line2Line coating on some of his engines
Saw Clark on the thumbnail couldn't click fast enough to watch!
That's a dangerous look you had Steve when this guy is talking about coating bearings and turbos that's a lot to changes for sickweek but they are interesting.
I genuinely learned a lot in this video sir. Very good stuff here. I had to rewind a couple times to comprehend everything
Clark does a GREAT JOB!!
hope your Feed him Good.
Great video and also the one about your Wife's car!
Always learning something with your video's Steve.
LMAO. Steve, when he mentioned turbos with zero clearance, zero friction and curve shift to the left I could literally see the gears turning behind your eyes... can't wait to see where the possibilities lead you.
As always an awesome video.
Ordered a hoodie and Keychain at 3:35am! Send piston and valve to the Hazel Green, AL order please!! 🙏🏻 worth a shot right? Hahaha

Great show Steve! Good work Clark, and awesome new music Kyle??? :)

man you are living the dream, love your content and engines.- just a budget builder from alabama
Steve's gears were sure turning!!!

17:35 The gears are WHIRRING with ideas!! Love the videos, excited to see what you do with it in the end.
Wonder how often you replace head studs, mains studs and big end hardware? Each time the engine is apart? Clark is a gem, can do most anything.
Love the amount of tech you put in your videos
My friends father ,back in the 80s was a distributor for protec anti friction engine treatment ,he showed me the roller bearing friction results ,they were like 50%of regular oil ,I wonder how it compares to your anti-friction additives, im still waiting for the grand announcement of the SM-XX and SM-XXX. 700+ AND 900+ CUBIC IN.
Glad Clark is still looking at the green (snow covered?) side of the Grass.....
Shout out to Clark !! Steve lucky to have a friend to trust to assemble the heart of your race week motor👍 most my friend I’d question a tire change lol
I would question triple A
Watching SM process his own obstacles and relay that back to me is words I comprehend, on the fly, is just as good as brain food gets....
Just watching the gears, cogs and wheels turning in Steve’s head as Andy was rambling about what he can do
Clark'n it out of the park,
Mr. Wizard
He don't mess around, haha. Love it
Awesome video.Loved the inspection/engineering of the ring package. Great to be able to see the iterative evolution of an amazing engine.
Next up: pneumatic valve springs :)
loving the videos.
that one place in this video you can just see the gears turning in Steve's head that look wow.
Shame on people that haven't subscribed and liked these. This information is just priceless.
PMSL at Steve's mind going at 1000 mph when the guy started talking about oil pumps LOL
Steve it's at times like that I wish I wasn't retired.
More learning, Thanks Steve!
Not a big hoodie guy! Ordered a grey T-shirt! Maybe I will get lucky! 😆 loving the content Steve. Tech tips are awesome to see. Always love to learn stuff like this! Wish you the best of luck on the big event coming up! 💪💪💪

So much info in your videos. Thank you for sharing all this tech with us.
As a big bore snowmobile engine builder we did this years ago. Cool stuff Steve
Steve I can see you gears ⚙️⚙️ running 5000hp. 😂
The coating guys are going to be dang busy!!!!
This is amazing information on how he makes his engines have so much capable horsepower I really wondered how he was making 4500 horsepower with a piston drive engine without nitromethane
Big SHOUT OUT to Andy and the guys at Line 2Line Coatings! You're doing some seriously clever S**T, and Andy very well explained, every day is school day! Thank you! Steve as ever I always learn something from every one of your videos! Great work & ❤ to you and to everyone involved especially Clark and Dewey! Can't wait to see the Wagon back in action! 🙂😎🤓
Andy from Line to Line is a super smart guy,,,best of all is he is a AWSOME neighbor,,,fun to be around !!!
Coating turbos and pistons sound great, but I'm fascinated at the idea of the oil pump. Being able to maintain more pressure at higher oil temperatures would be nice.
17:28. Steve considering having his entire engine coated, hell maybe even the body.
get the drag strip coated with it
Hahaha 17:40 Steves wheels are turning. I'm excited to see the effects
There were thousands of fans wondering if Clark dog-napped . Judging by the look on 's face he foiled the plot.🤣
Thanks to you for sharing Line 2 Line. Business shall be done. The bearing thing makes me ponder if they could do it on crankshafts?
Venus! Wow Crazy... 7 Minute gang!! Lets GO!!!
Umm, minute gang 😐
I had line2line do my pistons after some rings butted and scuffed my pistons. The break in procedure is a little less than straight forward.
I'll be pulling my engine apart this winter just to see what is left.
I had a very dark oil change but started with .0015 clearance on a tunnel ram big block Mopar.
Very good product
Thanks!
Steve, I can't help but think you took Clark from Jimmy John's, because he's freaky fast at engine assembly!!!
You keep coming up with new ways to format the videos and i like it alot. mixing things up is good imo.
to the entire crew at sme;
you can all sit down after a days work knowing that you made something amazing. not many ppl can do that.. hope you all appreciate the uniqueness of that:)
love from norway
Clark is the man.
Lol " I gotta big truck, load me up " Brilliant 👏 Load him up Steve ! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hi Clark!
Poor Clark, Steve pulling him back to Michigan to suffer in the cold.
I drive past Line2Line often, nice to know what a great shop they are.
Let’s gooo! Best engine builder out there!!! You and Pete Harrell are both my favorite!! Both yal polishing turds
@17:40. TH-cam Gold!
Oh BTW what he is talking about there is similar to honeycomb liners in a jet engine. The blades burrow into the honeycomb liner and improve compression.
why u will sucsead were others wount....:u r willing to push the envlope to its break'n point (as costly as it might be)...that is the only way to find what will fail & "were" it will fail...!.than u can correct it..which will ultametly makes a "better" product"...!..better products...are what seam 2 be lacking nowadays...!..thanks 4 all the info in the videos...LOVE them cause they make sence...!...& you explane things REALY well...good luck testing with both cars...stay healthy...Brian
The best channel on TH-cam!
Thanks for the education Steve.
That's called 'piston slap'.
Good to see people taking steps to reduce it and improve performance.
I love the channel Steve ive learned lots just from watching y'all. I love learning neq things we all learn something new everyday i just finished building my 318 dodge Ls yes dodge and chevy together makes amazing power on just motor before the turbo wakes it up.
This program has been very interesting and been very educational for me. Thank you steve morris engines
The look on Steve's face is priceless. You can see the wheels turning.
Wow, I do love it when 2 smart guys have a conversation like this and we are allowed to listen in.
Cool stuff.
Clark buddy, the faces behind steve had me breaking up .
Coating technology is impressive and ever evolving. I enjoy what you go thru to make a few runs.
No lie, back in the day I would spray paint the inside of my compressor covers to take up clearances. It worked.......When a local class required us to run a 75mm style turbo with stock stuff.....lol
@34.40
Clark- I could be in Florida!
Steve- baby come back!
-Sun things up, both together are a power combo!
This is awesome! Abradable coatings are super trick!! I love that moment of realization! "Oh wow, this can help optimize so much more!"
I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the Coatings on the Pistons also the Hot side of the SML.
The key is less drag and piston rock Steve!
I still can't get over how that wagon launches like an arrow out of a crossbow!
And this coating technology is amazing! As a Mechanical Engineer (now retired) I can see all kinds of applications for this stuff! And, for the record, the first thing I thought of seeing that piston was "some kind of bonded Graphite coating"...
