With the information you give in your videos. The questions become general and wide. I feel most questions get answered when a specific goal and use of an engine is first determined. Then, a specific target is to be met. Then rods Crank, piston, heads, intake, cam, rpm, fuel, ect, questions can be answered with a more educated decision. When I first got into drag racing, I didn't understand any of this. It took a lot of time for me to understand all that is involved in a combination that is satisfying to the user. I built my brother an engine that was stout. He didn't listen to what I was telling him about what to do to take advantage of the engines torque and power. He was very disappointed. He also spent a lot of money on the wrong supporting parts. So, I learned even if you build a good engine for someone, if they don't supply the additional supporting parts. You can become the why, for the poor performance. Lesson learned.
Thank you, Brent, for including my question. I really appreciate it.

@ 8:55 Ugh...I know the feeling. All the cool look good stuff is always inside and hidden from sight. Thats what pics and vids are for.
I purchased a Kevco oil pan after watching some of your videos.

I've also had great service with Kevko.
Thanks for the video and the Q & A.
Would love to build a small block tunnel port engine for a 1965 or 1966 fastback Mustang.
Thanks Brent!
Isn't 70 a large number for rod bolts?
Not at all. The Molnar rods torque at 30 lbft plus 60 degrees which usually equals about 90 lbft. ARP CA625 bolts will torque over 100.
hey brent what tourq wrench are you using
What size r the main studs Brent?
7/16
a 2-3min video on honinh a crank hub with a keyway would be great,,,,,never seen one done
I have built a few engines but don’t consider my self an engine builder so I did not ask. 🤓👍
How often are your torque wrenches calibrated?
