Great tutorial and lecture. I never knew about not setting valve lash but once. Back in the day we always reset our roller valve train after each race leaning on it hard. But in 1985 we didnt have the technology available today. Ive been watching the KSR Camaro build. I cant wait to see the times it runs.👍👍👍👍👍😁
Steve I get the feeling you are still trying to explain why Cleetus is running a pro line hemi now. You don’t have to. You make the the best drag and drive engine ever produced
sometimes its hard to say something without mentioning something.. Cleets Proline is a whole different ball game and steve and Cleet have always done drag-n-drive but now Cleets cant do it with his new car so will the haters say "why is he not did they have a fall out?" no the difference is Cleets gone to a different class and that class there is no driving to the track so steve explains why.. notice no mention when it comes to MULLET? MULLET is still a drag-n-drive car
Cleetus is running a proline because nobody on that crew can be convinced they need to tear down a motor after every couple passes case and point they yeeted the lash caps off the proline after the second pass because they didn't check the lash...
Hello Steve, Crank cracked from the torque converter ballooning. At 4000 hp, siezed lifter cause detonation-miss-fire. The instant high torque transferred to the torque converter causing pressure to exceed 2500-5000 psi. 5000 psi can cause 0.250" thick wall 12" torque converter to balloon. The force from the ballooning exceeds 500,000 lbs force. Ck, runout dimension converter mount to bushing flange. If it exceed 0.020"-0.040" it's ballooned.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining the process of BUILDING versus assembling engines. I have been explaining why I file rings, match valve spring pressures, weigh pistons adjust crank end play when building engines since the mid 1980’s and still get the same statement from people. It doesn’t matter the parts are made to fit just put the in. Glad to see even someone of your caliber of engine building gets same result
Steve, I run an SBF w/a solid roller on the street. Everyone told me I would be adjusting valves all the time. Every time I check them, everything looks great. When I tell my friends that no adjustments were needed after 5k miles, they look at me as if I am lying. I began to start doubting myself ( the way I checked valve lash). Now, you have confirmed what I have been seeing.
👍 Steve, I have been a machinist for 37 years, and I understand what you are talking about as in crank thrust. Most people AND mechanics are just part swappers, so most don't understand. You are educating a lot of people, especially those that really want an engine build to last! Love your videos 👍😁
Steve ive had my own workshop in South Africa for years. Ive built turbo cars from all different makes and models...... Audi, BMW, VW, Toyotas etc. Many many many. Id o all the fabrication and wngine building and EFI installation and some tuning. I LEARN SO DAMN MUCH from Your videos. Its just amazing how deap the rabbit hole of engine tech goes.
That’s great to hear Dennis. You have a few years on myself but I’m used to 4 cylinders and manly flat 4 over the pond here 🇬🇧. So I’m learning loads along with a lot more pistons 😂
The legendary "Scratch & Dent Special" lives on! It's kinda amazing how much abuse this block took and still can be rebuild to a potent engine. Way to go! 😎😎🤘🤘
I love your comment on the difference between an engine assembler and an engine builder. A builder is an engineer and understands all the "why" things have to work this way to last.
Ya know, I'm 66 years old, since I was 14 or so I have always been a high performance engine nut and it's really cool to see how far you have taken it, through trial and error or whatever, to me your videos are not only entertaining and in my opinion, well done, thanks Steve......................and yeah what was Dewey doing................
Absolutely love this channel. I Don't Care about what others say, You Really Know Your Stuff. Cannot watch your videos and NOT learn anything. LesMond from NZ down under.
Thank you for all this critical information Steve. You are the man and you have one hell of a team over there. I learn something in every one of your videos.
An engine builder here in Auburn, WA taught me the exact same method for setting the rocker arm to valve clearance. Awesome video Steve! Great content.
I really appreciate the education you give. Delivery is very simple and easy to understand and follow. Bummer I didn’t win the blazer. I thought for sure I was gonna. 😊
Great to see you Steve & Kyle, can't believe Dewey made it up in the bed of the truck, thanks again !!!! Customer and Channel Member! Just realized I'm in the timelapse from today!!!
Steve RELAX anyone who has half a clue knows the cleetus crew can be a “bit” rough & ready it’s a fact we know it and I am a massive fan of there’s and yours. It just sounds like your countering haters sometimes and I don’t think you need to your product speaks for itself many times over 🇦🇺🤙
@@stevemorrisracingyou are going to need to make a video with him at LeMullets to prove you don’t hate him now. These comments remind me of when he changed the window decal on mullet from ksr to tbm. Everybody freaked out that him and Kevin had some beef.
Cleetus has too many cars and never dedicates enough time to one specific build. I have a feeling he's going to find out the hard way that maintenance is an every pass sorta thing. It's not your dad's hemi haha. He really dipped his toes into too many things nowadays.
@@austincassell4741Cleetus is an entertainer first and foremost… he’s a merchandise seller second and a racer 3rd…. he has said this before… He makes so much money from youtube blowing something up…. a single video of him blowing up that hemi can buy two of them alone from views.
Thank you for your tech advice/ education. I was not able to comment on your earlier vid about the scratch and dent motor so I shot you an email about it and you confirmed what I was thinking happened. It reminded me of your older videos about the problems with your converter, mullet must be running crazy line pressure and I think you have even talked about it before and had him turn down his line pressure/ line lock
Thanks as always Steve i have been listening to you the last couple of years and I appreciate how much time you spend explaining all of these details about all of the engines you build. It’s very fascinating to now how you keep these high HP motors together.
Cheers Steve, i thought i new abit about a bit, now realise i know a tiny bit about a bit. Cheers for teaching me something new every time I watch. Love what you do. From the UK.
Thanks for the video why hasn't anybody else spline the front of the Clank shaft oh that's right you're the proSoon as I win the lottery I'll buy an SMX and put it in my living room on a rotating platter because I'm a real geezer and I can't build a race cars anymore but I really enjoy your channel it's one of my favorites you're the smartest guy I never met have a great day
Love the fact that you build engines that you can actually use outside of a closed environment. I only wish I had something worth putting one in. If you ever do a billet 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder Cummins engine, I'm your guy :D
The smartest mechanic I ever knew told me more than 50 years ago: "If you don't understand how it works, how are you ever going to figure out why it isn't working now?"
As a no longer recognised trade Fitter Turner I really appreciate a real expert in the game giving the truth how it all works. Fair play to you and keep it rolling and knock them sceptics guessing
I think Dewey was trying to tell you he wanted out to use the bathroom! Thank you for your videos very educational!! You have encouraged me to build a engine myself again its been a few years. God save our Republic.
I wish that I can build one of those motors. Just the knowledge of knowing that I did it that would be the coolest thing in the world to do. Think the biggest motive I ever built was a 454 big block bored out nasty cam. Turn it into a 512 stroker for a '69 Chevelle SS
Steve you'll be able to pick up a used ProLine pretty cheap soon if Cleet doesn't check spring pressure and valve lash every run. And I'll bet you right now they'll put more than thirty runs on those rods. And it's Ed Morel. Ed is s a great guy and he makes a great product.
Steve its like that nice teacher in school who tells all the facts and Steve really want at peoples learn stuff, so their engines will keep working with out a issues,Big Respect i say and
It’s amazing how much you can learn on this channel.

Dewey's been a Bad Dog ! Steve's got him standing in corner facing the wall . lol
lol he sees a spider, bird or something but thats funny af.
boy was in time out😂
Nah, Dewey was on squirrel watch looking out the window, it's his job....
Nawh, traveling vet mistook him for a horse.
Now he's in a K hole.

Each time I see a new video, it's a treat!
Cant wait to see the results from KSR/Morris
KSR Camaro is gonna be awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dewey looking out the window was hillarious!
Whenever I see a pup like that, I try to figure out what he’s looking at. Didn’t seem like a squirrel.
@@mrlt1151 No, I couldn't figure it out but he didn't seem excited like a squirrel or a cat.

So good to support you Steve Morris! Channel Member
How you tell stories is unmatched!
I love your comment on the difference between an engine assembler and an engine builder. A builder is an engineer and understands all the "why" things have to work this way to last.
Soooo much information! Best channel on TH-cam! Steve is the real deal! Great guy!
I learn a lot from Steve on how things work together Thx

Thank you for the continuous knowledge. I absolutely love it.💜
Absolutely love this channel. I Don't Care about what others say, You Really Know Your Stuff. Cannot watch your videos and NOT learn anything. LesMond from NZ down under.
I love these episodes where I get to learn so much. I do every video of SM....but these are above the cut

Love all the cool engineering on the SMX. Lots of thoughtful stuff.
Oooooo those valve covers are shinnie. Pumped to see that camaro & with a beautiful motor.
👍👌👍
Kevin does grade a work and thinking of the future.
It's amazing the strength of that block! I had a 4-cylinder Honda turbo that only broke 1 rod and it pretty well cut the block in half!
Can’t wait to see what it does in the Camaro
The dog found a window seat lol
Absolutely love the content. So cool for you to share with us thanks
Really like spending time with a friend. Thank you sir!
Here to help support. Show em what you can do Steve!
Said i be here. for the support of the channel with no bull crap on race engines that are driven.
I like the point about the equal protusion of the rocker adjustment thread. Thanks from New Zealand.
Good to see you, Steve! Can't wait to learn stuff!

Very interesting video. Thanks for taking the time to explain what you do.
They found out last weekend why you check and maintain a high HP Engine like the SMX 24/7. They almost destroyed the HEMROID like they did the old SMX
gotta check that lash,, 😂😂
Cleetus has too many cars and never dedicates enough time to one specific build.
I have a feeling he's going to find out the hard way that maintenance is an every pass sorta thing.
It's not your dad's hemi haha. He really dipped his toes into too many things nowadays.

@@austincassell4741he already found out they hung a valve on the new proline already

I remember when Cleetus and Kevin did the Midwest Drags with that engine in Mullet. Started and stopped at Edgewater. And it was a Winner!
Love the time laps music 🎶

I learn more and more watching you Steve. I know cars and engines but your level of engines amaze me and I realize how poor I am.. lol
I thought it was going in a hydroplane when you set the intake on backwards.

Love it. Keep up the hard work.
EXCELLENT video!!!
Thank You!!!
nothing like the good o'l scratch & dent special.
thanks for sharing sir morris.
