LSXcalade Returns: Late Model Engines Tears Down The 427 & Explains EVERYTHING (LSX Engine Tech!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2021
- We went down to Houston Texas to drop off the LSXcalade's Dart block 427 engine at Late Model Engines (LME)! These guys are literally the KINGS of high end LS/LT engine builds these days. High horsepower boosted applications meant for heavy street use is what they do best and its what we use the Escalade for...so we are in the right place! Bryan Neelen the owner / founder of LME explains in detail exactly what is going on with the engine as we tear the engine apart. Diagnose potential issues and establish a general knowledge of how the engine was feeling about life prior to the tear down.
Buckle up because you are gonna learn some EXTREMELY useful information here when it comes to LS engine building and high horsepower applications!!

You're becoming quite the interviewer. Asking great questions and getting awesome answers.
Thanks man. I’d be asking these questions even if the camera was off. I’m always trying to learn and apply knowledge from others further down the line to fuel my own journey
@@Stapleton42 hell yeah man
Hearing the knowledge this man was putting out was entertainment enough! I don’t build, race or even own a fast car but I throughly enjoy watching and learning. Knowledge is power!
I’m getting more and more excited to see this alive again!
Dude me too!
Liked learning the history of LME and how it started. Im a history nerd, so i thought that part was really cool.
Hell yeah. I’m a success nerd so I like hearing other peoples stories and seeing what I can learn&apply to my own life
Kudos to Mr. Neelen for allowing us to peek into his world. He has great story and his passion shows. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
My old man always said, "Do something you like and find a way to make money doing it"
Absolutely loved the personal interview. Hearing the owners story was great. You do great interviews, keep them coming. Plus learning some tricks and seeing the engine tear down was a great counterpoise. Quality vid.
Thanks man
Agree! More of this stuff!
Pecos is a cool dude. I went to school with him here in Weatherford, just West of Fort Worth. He went to S.A.M. and then they started LME.
What did you think was the most interesting part of this video? I was like a sponge just absorbing everything Bryan said 😂

love all of it man been waiting for another shop/work video woooo suck I and I'm so pumped for my candy man shirt!!!!!
Great interview with LME owner. Nice job. Definitely one of your best videos.
Great to see the care and attention taken in the disassembly
That guy knows his shit!
Learning about embedability was what stuck out for me. Got me looking on their site for a short block.
That teardown a testament to matching parts that compliment each other. That block had normal wear like it was stock maybe a bit better for as much power as it's pushing. Awsome job
I spent the day at a local engine shop that builds the engines in almost every pulling truck and a lot of the drag racing cars in my area. I also spent the day at a shop that builds pulling tractors. There’s so much knowledge that you can soak in from places like this. If you ever have a chance to go check out an engine building shop, definitely make time to go there
All i needed to hear was "1700 to the tire" watchin the whole thing
Hahaha hell yeah
My thought precisely, plus I watch his whole video being from Texas myself
@@Stapleton42 time for 2000 whp and 8s
MORE of this stuff!!! Please? This is GOLDEN!!! And the stories the owners could tell, MORE of this too!!!
We have a full tour with Bryan coming up as the next video!
I dig the GM style Stapleton autoworks shirt. I have a few genuine GM shirts in my closet passed down from my dad.
That’s bad ass lol. We will bring it back with these ones 🤟🏻
You guys are an inspiration! I stayed in my comfortable box until almost 50. After some very scary and unknown times, I have a dream job and love my career!
That’s awesome!!
You know if you watch they charge more and if you help it costs 2X. I'm a gunsmith you drop it off and I fix it (not while you wait) Kudo's to LME for giving you full access. There is nothing more un-nerving than someone watching you work and asking questions while you are doing it. Thanks to Bryan for being so Gracious.
The only big blue suv I like more than my own 💪🏻 full size life baby! Soak up that knowledge and keep pushing forward brother 🤘🏻
Love the escalade but Ruger needs some love too, hope you guys didnt miss the part about tips helping Logan with Ruger.
We are picking him up from surgery right now actually 😕
@@Stapleton42 hope it went well man
@@Stapleton42 how is Ruger? Best wishes 💙
I’m glad to be seeing more content of what you’re doing at the shop and with your trucks!! Not that the People’s track is bad content, but I’m sure I’m not the only one that likes seeing it..
Hell yeah, my old Nittos came in handy transporting that engine.
Yep lol
Super informative video, always finding the best people.
Ive been here since the Cooper appreciation video, when the blue beast went down that sucked, im super stoked to see it coming back to life now. uncle Rob and hood track madness is fun, but seeing the escalade back will be the bread and butter of all of this i feel
Thanks man 💪🏻
@@Stapleton42 are you planning on any hats in the future, im not a huge t-shirt guy but ill wear the color out of a good hat
I'm so happy to see LME on your channel I've been telling them for the past two years every chance I got that they need to do more on TH-cam I hope this is the start because they are leaving a lot on the table if they don't!
These sort of videos, the interviews, the tech talk,
a wealth of knowledge and I'm here for it!
You’re the kinda guy I want watching my videos and who I do it for!
Phenomenol video. Great information with excellent explanations put in layman's terms. You asked all the questions I would have asked to get a better understanding of how it all comes together. Great job!
Many thanks to LME for taking the time to share some wisdom. What an incredible company.
Thanks man I’m glad you got something useful from it 💪🏻
That was interesting. Nice way to spend part of a Friday afternoon.
I love the field trips and the interview was very well done bro....I like that he hit on staying clean with your project and your work space. Sometimes the easiest jobs are made the hardest by being sloppy and or unorganized. He said it, the info is out there, who's using it to the highest potential....Great job on this one
Y'all keep me motivated since automotive world is becoming my passion. Loved the interview
Thanks man that’s exactly why I do this stuff 💪🏻
From the tear down it sounds like it was built right the first time, for sure! You for sure did not cut it any slack! It will be nice to see how much more you can get out of it! Great interview!
This guy with LME really knows his stuff!
Definitely!
Love how much passion you have on finding the story behind people and documenting it, your channel is growing fast I'm glad I found you back when I did. Cant wait to see how far you and Logan can go. I wish I could rock you merch but I'm tight on money right now so I'll keep giving you a thums up and watching the whole video while I share my ass off. Can't wait to see her back on the street.
thanks man no big deal! we do have decals too if you didn't know
This was a cool and very informative video and its awesome to see LME owner taking the time to explain everything thats great customer service
Awesome info, and bad ass place!! Now I want to get some stuff from them!!! Can’t wait to see more!
I really appreciate your intention to keep it real in your videos.
Would be awesome to see you surprise your employees in a good or tricky way when the time is right. Remember Candy Man's face expression when he saw the design of the Shirt you made for him? Absolutely priceless!
Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to future videos especially of the interactions at the peoples track :)
Greetings from Germany!
Excellent teardown video and a lot of very useful shared information by these professionals at LME. Very cool!
So many awesome mini segments of golden info. The bearing material talk, quench info, main cap info, piston height info, rod and main bearing differences and what to watch for, coatings, oil pickup theory, surface finish info, and oil flow control through the block. I would hope the owner was happy how all the info came across.
It's so great to listen to someone who is a true specialist. Got me some education there!
Love it. I had to work late but this made my day. Reminds me of building my first motor with my Gramp. Attention to detail is key. Keep the content coming please.
Love this channel, from all the inside tech and question to the people’s track and racing, it’s all great
Cant wait to see it all come together. After watching the older videos of you running the LSXcalade im wanting to see how it does after these improvements.
Knows his stuff very well. Must make happy to see his work go fast and far.
What a great story. Impressed with the amount of knowledge he has. Sounds like you have a great start for continuing to make more hp with that motor. Can't wait to see it happen. Kangz
Man the videos keep getting better. This LME place is badass. The success story of these guys are the kind of people I like to do business with. Not that he went thru a rough tune just the fact that he started it from the ground up
Thanks man I agree 💪🏻
This is one of my favorite videos you have done to date. You have a talent that you are just tapping into. Keep up the fantastic work. 👏
Thanks man!
This video alone is enough to make me check out LME when my LSA ZL1 needs a short block. It's not time yet, but I keep these things in the back of my mind because that day can always be tomorrow after you get to a certain point.
I hope these guys help you out....I've never heard of them till now...super awesome he shared all this stuff with us...super cool
I love videos like this. They are personal and professional. You learn a lot about the technical side and the personal side of the industry. Keep it up.
Thanks man
I LOVE this video!! The owner has so much passion. Like he loves this.
Dude thanks for asking the questions and wanting to know the backstory it really does add to the engine build knowing someone who actually cares is putting it together
Loving the inspiration and the information coming from Bryan! Definitely seems like an awesome place to do business with!
You took the motor to the right place. Can't wait to see it running. Now I have a reason to go back to yellow belly when it's running. 👍🙆♂️
Glad to see it wasn't hurt. Will be a good run of video getting it back together.
LSXcalade is coming back to life!! So exciting to watch. I love all the tech tips and behind the scenes footage!!! Good luck on your surgery Ruger!! I’m going to buy some merch and tip my girl Logan ASAP!!! Is she still sending notes?
Bryan definitely seems like a cool dude. Reminds me of my quad engine builder Vito. He took me from not knowing a single thing to understanding every part of my motor and trans. Another awesome video 👍🏼👍🏼
Looks like you decided to rebuild at the right time based on the bearings. Can't wait to see it running again. And by the sound of it stronger than ever. 👍👍
Love the content ! Can’t wait to see LME shop tour video!
Took me a while (7 days) to get to this video but it was worth the delay so I can watch them in sequence. Great interview I loved learning about the history of LME & your block survived! Now I'll watch the next one. Cheers from down under.
Thanks man
@@Stapleton42 Your welcome
Good interview! Definitely learned a couple things like the coating taking up piston to wall clearance. Also, looking forward to see that unit dynoyed naturally aspirated!
Great stuff. Please more of this kind of uploads, it's always nice to get the good info trough good questions.
You got it!
I learn a lot about engines and other things from your videos. Keep up the good work bud and hopefully we get to see the blue bear back up and running
Really cool video buddy. Its cool to see the process.
Bryan is THE Dude! When it comes to Engine Building!
I started my side hustle almost three years ago. It's good to hear others talk about how they started and what they came from.
This is such awesome content. So much good information that I didn’t know before. Thanks for the awesome video man.
That’s why I’m here dude!
One of my few channels I actually follow and support. You guys uploaded but I had to wait to watch until I made free time but bet your ass I let it play as soon as I got notification just for extra view.👍🤙🤙
Very impressive video! You are definitely at the right place. Love the little tricks that make things more efficient. Great editing as well.
Thanks man. Just iMovie and a GoPro 😂
Good to have a great engine man like that. My buddy up here in Michigan from champion performance went to the same school. Very smart guys
Going to enjoy this series. Sounds like the engine is in good health and just needed some TLC.
Awesome video!! Loved the message to follow what your passion is. Awesome story and loved all the info. Great story Bryan grew up close to my home town in ny. Also just ordered my SAW shirt keep up the good work and content. You guys are doing great!!!
Thanks man I appreciate you 💪🏻
This was super! Couldn't stop watching, great work!
They go as far as measuring surface finish. That's detail. Can't wait to see the tour.
Learned a lot thanks for asking all the right questions!
Good job man! Perfect Saturday morning show
This right here is GOLD! Remember guys just the tip.
I knew I’d find it
Great content Mitchel. Looking forward to seeing the escalade back up and running.
Thanks man I’m excited too
Wow. At it again. Sweet. Can’t wait to see it run again 🏁😎🇨🇦
Cool to see the teardown process and hear the origin story of LME! Super excited for the shop tour vid!
Coming soon!
Yet another insightful video... You never let us down always a awesome video. Thanks bro
I appreciate you man
I really appreciate how his passion for the industry shows through, but he’s constantly putting it back on his team they have built vs what he did. There’s a lot of companies that could learn this trait. Take for example my company I work for haha. Anyway, great interview and tour as well.
Great video. Super smart guy. Learned lots!
This is why I loyally stand behind companies that started with a grassroots beginning. I think your overall mindset for functionality as a business is more efficient and successful when your working with limited funds (as backwards as this may sound). I've seen a lot of businesses rise and fall because although they had a big lender, no amount of money can make up for pitiful gameplan.
In my opinion, if you're chasing horsepower, you're always going to get a better result when your primary motivation is knowledge- not money. Listening to this guy, you can tell he has studied these engines to a degree that takes a certain willpower most don't have.
Also, the merch is super comfortable. Thanks for not selling me a Dollar General turd pile of a shirt.
Thanks man you’re spot on. Also...I only use the best stuff!
Been watching your channel since I found you building headers with the black bird Vega . Always lots of good info or just good screwing around lol
Was a good informative video to watch/listen while im lifting tonight. Great content as always
Glad to hear it!
Alwas nice to see a good Engine teardown and also learn something while doing that 👌🏽
That tech talk about quench and compression and all that was freaking awesome!! When Google has a question about an engine that is the dude it calls
Hahahah yes 😂
bravo stape this one is fer the archives fer sure man thank u fer sharin, He is droppin honey every where on why and how shit should b done
I’m liking this type of engineering nerdometry! Great content Mitchell. You & Logan have a great weekend.
Nick
More to come! thanks dude
Very exciting to see things happening man 👍👍
Wow I've always been a fan of LME but after hearing his story about how he started the company I'm a lifetime fan of LME now cool story!
Same!
That was some technical shit...that guy knows his stuff! Bad ass!
i enjoy watching everything you post keep it up man
His knowledge of engines wow amazing
Great Video, much learned Mitchell!
Great video!
Probably one of the most informative engine builders video I have seen
Wow, thanks!
@@Stapleton42 did you ever receive your bug assault gun?
Yes! Love these tour videos 👌
My favorite 427 setup! I can't wait to see it ripping down the track again!
Me too man!
@@Stapleton42 will it still be rocking the last exhaust you made for it?
