Love this video series Steve. 👍👍 Your knowledge and dedication to engine building really shows throughout these video's. You are the make power and speed man! 😊
Question for ya: did Mitch get a special haircut for the mullet build or is he always that cool? Also valve size and info about timing up that belt drive.
Whats the Benefit of the dry system timing belt Cause I've been looking into them and I was just wanting to know 1st hand if its worth the money and reliability
hey man love your show and engine quality builds, Lao love cletus and his crew, my question was how much more compression and hp/tq do you estimate the engine to make after these upgrades and is there anthing else you could do or suggest to make hos boat of a car faster. as he love to win and only makes your name look better in the end. Thanks so much :)
This is such a sick series. Sure its cool to see the process, but when the engine is from a car we all know it adds that extra level of engagement. Thanks for taking us along through the process
@@hydroy1 Im not so sure, the bearings werent even smashed out any so im not sure the rods were really taking as big of a pounding they would need to get smashed that much shorter, maybe?
@@hydroy1 Aluminum rods don't permanently stretch, they never have. They expand more than steel when heated, but that's same with anything made from aluminum.
What is your target for clearances on the rods ? What is the oil psi? When do you go smaller at what psi? So I would think it would all change with aluminum or steel rods. Thank you. The door trim? Where is the top trim ? I would talk to Kyle. Lol
I had to shave my mullet off in the early 90s. So many women, and so little time. If you have never sported a mullet, I suggest you do so. It will change your life forever
There is a video of that, but I cant quite remember the name of it. He worked for an engine builder for a while, quit that, and at some point started building engines for people out of his garage and has since upgraded shops a couple times
We will probably stick to questions relevant to the Mullet build for this next video. But we might be able to work something out with an “origin story” type video in the future. Thanks for the input!
As a new viewer of your channel, i must say ive only watched a few videos, but i truly love what you do. You explain things so thoroughly and very comprehensively. Liked you a lot already just from watchin cleets channel and seeing how fantastic your engine has performed. You sir a truly a badass at what you do. Keep it up man👍
I recently found your channel, the way you break down technical details, fault finding, and your methodology makes it very easy to understand. Thank you for making your knowledge so easily digestible for the average person, it's very helpful information.
Steve you are great inspiration! You can just see how much he puts into his engine builds and the pride and experience is worth every cent of the cost of his works of horse power art ! Keep up the great work
What is the static and dynamic compression ratios of Cleetus’s engine in particular? Thanks! Love watching the process you follow and the constant improvements you make on every engine that leaves your shop
Appreciate the time you take to teach us so much about these builds, now we will be with this engine when it runs and know how everything was put together and why. I hope the “real good and bending stuff” guy looks after this one properly 🤣
I've heard of Stevie Fast. This is Stevie Helpyougofast. QUESTION: How long did you REALLY think it would take Cleetus to hurt that first engine? Were you nervous when he turned it WAY UP?
LOL Cleetus is hard on everything and you have more then proven your ability's Steve. I and the wife think your an amazing man and love every Episode you put out keep them coming. God Bless you and your amazing Family.
I thoroughly enjoy watching these videos. think it's really cool to see what goes into a freshening up the motor, and the investigation of any damage that's been done . just wondering if you're going to be suggesting to change to a dry-sump now. and I love the connecting rod upgrade for all the boost they put in it.
I've been turning wrenches for about 27 years or so and my most favorite thing to do is build an engine mostly CAT and Cummins I love taking a box of parts and watching it come to life best feeling in the world. Love your videos keep um coming.
I’ve only ever rebuilt one engine in my life, but the excitement and pride when you start it fir the first time and everything just works is hard to describe.
Loving the work this engine is getting, and the walkthrough is super informative! Hell yah brother! Question: If the wet sump causes so many issues, why not convert to a dry sump? Is it even possible to convert an engine from wet to dry? And would it be super expensive?
One thing I HATE is when an engine builder such as yourself feels the need to explain themselves to youtube mechanics and go so deep in depth with a simple process like torque plates etc. your work has been tested and proven to work that’s all that needs to be said in my opinion. But very good of you to explain it anyway
Maybe working his way up. Getting confident with each power upgrade. Rather than jumping in a car that runs 7-8sec at 190 to 5-6sec at 200+ Also $$ Smart move IMO
@@S.park.yThat’s what I was thinking too. He’s doing a damn good job… just wish he’d put the same effort into tuning Mullet that he does with Leroy. Leroy is most definitely my favorite car, but dang man… he’s neglecting the hell out of Mullet. If he can reach damn near 6 second passes with that 427… I can only imagine what big boy league Mullets big block can really do! Ya know?
thank you so much for making all this content! you remind me of my dad who built and rebuilt his fair share of engines and transmissions in his day. never had anything come back really. he was one of the go to guys in k.c. for a while if you wanted a transmission rebuilt right.
If you don't mind, please share as many as you are comfortable with in next week's video: 1. Valve stem clearance 2. Valve seat angles 3. Valve seat material (beryllium copper-do they still sell that?) 4. Piston pin clearance 5. Piston pin material , diameter, and wall thickness 6.Piston to wall 7. Piston material (2618?)

Thank you Steve, we're all gearheads just trying to learn. I was running brackets in the 70's. It's just amazing how far engine building has progressed. ZL1 heads, triple springs and a 3 angle cut was a nice set.
What was the reason for not wanting to use a dry sump setup? Obviously they were aiming for 6's, which is why they got an engine from you. 6's mean 200+ mph. Know there would be oil starvation on shut down or anywhere the throttle is blipped. I just figured Dry sump would've been the go to.
Love your videos man, you give so much in depth info to what you guys are doing. My question is are you surprised the ol cleeter crew didn’t grenade this thing? Considering there need for maximum power and getting all the bald eagles they possibly can out of an engine. 😂
My dad and I live in Wisconsin and our warranty company denied our claim for a new engine. We had a complete failure and need a new engine for our 2011 F150. It's a 5.0. Anyone here know the next best step to take to get them to approve the claim. We kept up fully on maintenance and our policy specifically covers the damage. We never got a letter from warranty company why they denied the claim. Now we are trying to go through BBB and try to to get the claim accepted through Arbitrage.
Aaron Brown said you were building an engine for him but it may not be this one. (Aaron is in the process of building a streamliner, so that's what made me think you could be referring to him.) As a kind of "test bed" for a few things for the streamliner, he's building a two seat pro mod type car that may become a drag-n-drive car when he's done using it to test some things for the streamliner. Subscribers to this channel might find "The Garage Shop" as another interesting channel with a variety of race car content.
I had the pleasure of meeting Aaron a few years ago, and later getting to see The Garage Shop in person. Super, super cool guy, and his shop puts out some amazing stuff.
No questions, just wanted to help the channel with interaction. I wish I had someone with your knowledge and personality close to me. Watching you go through and explain things with ease is fun to watch and you seem like an amazing down to earth fun guy in general. Happy that Cleeter went with a big block built by you. You should make a cross flow head for a Chevy 250/292 straight 6! I was originally going to 2jz swap my 62 Nova, but I have changed my mind to just have some fun with the straight 6, throw a small turbo on it, the Offy go fast bits that I can get and possibly machine in injector bungs, or maybe just go with a Holly EFI/TBI kit.
Question: You've see the cars, engines and tech the Cleetus channel has got (or chose to not get) into. What's an engine or some racing technology you think they need to try out?
I really want to know more about the timing belt setup on these and SBC/LS engines. I have been told it helps reduce harmonics and other vibration transfer, if that is the case does it allow for a smaller harmonic balancer? What other advantages and what disadvantages do you see making this change?
2:05 In the teardown video you spoke a moment about (I think) how there were differences with the oil pump or the cam position sensor? in a wet-sump vs dry-sump build. Can you help me understand how and why?
Could you post links to some of the tools you use. May be helpful for a lot of us learning, on recommendations on different hand tools and such you use for various building/machining tasks.
What was your opinion of Garrett using unrestricted nitrous when on Raceweek? Judging by the backfires with large puffs of black smoke, I think that may have been the cause of lifter damage. Wasn't sure if that was considered safe or not.
I have a question on gas ports. In your opinion for a street engine, would you do vertical, axial, or gas ported rings and why? What are your opinions on all 3.
Question for you Steve: if you were to stay wet sump on a high power motor like this running the sort of times and trap speeds that Mullet does, what sort of things could a driver do during the end of the run to minimise oil pressure drop, or the time the engine sees that low oil pressure?
What’s the cost of an engine like this and what is the overall longevity of this engine if you wanted to drive this on the street how often would it have to be maintained?
Tighten this thing up extra tight we ain’t going slower this season!
I tried to get Steve to surprize you and send back a SMX for Mullet Cletus :)
Cleettttt! Put one of these in the b52
when you getting an SMX?
@@brettgibson7962 There is a list of his engines on the board behind Steve
Cleet I'd definitely go dry sump. Just saying lots of benefits
Just love your enthusiasm
The word Legend comes to mind 🇦🇺
Steve, you must be loving doing a vlog on rebuilding the Cleetus motor. It will certainly boost your views on TH-cam!
my bro mullet the chad is skillfull, enjoy watching the man work.
#37 on trending! Nice work, Steve!!!
I got a question! When are you going to convince him to upgrade to a SMX?
Also a SML for either Leroy or Ruby?
@@1nyga the SML would make more sense for Ruby because its water jacketed, Leroy wouldn't need that anymore since he ain't a street car anymore
Love the metal music
Love this video series Steve. 👍👍
Your knowledge and dedication to engine building really shows throughout these video's. You are the make power and speed man! 😊
Love your work Steve and thank you for sharing, I noticed that it has a timing belt, is that getting oil on it when the engine is running?
have you guys ever looked into the rotary platform and making engines for that?
Hi Steve, why do engines only have one thrust bearing? especially in these big horse power high boost engines.
Question for ya: did Mitch get a special haircut for the mullet build or is he always that cool?
Also valve size and info about timing up that belt drive.
I see that the pistons are coated are the skirts coated as well
At what interval do you recommend changing the rods for such a build?
Whats the Benefit of the dry system timing belt Cause I've been looking into them and I was just wanting to know 1st hand if its worth the money and reliability

Thanks so much :)
How do you clean the combustion chamber in the heads?
Why are the pistons black? also what size are the valves !!!!??????
If you do all these upgrades will Cleetus have to change his tune?
This is such a sick series. Sure its cool to see the process, but when the engine is from a car we all know it adds that extra level of engagement. Thanks for taking us along through the process
I would like to know the pin to pin dimension of the old rods compared to when they were new ? To see how much they crushed after 150+ passes
STREEEEEEEEEEACH yep, that would be interesting to know. My guess, .030 longer.

I'd like to see a really nice drag boat on his list. I mean those roundy roundy are nice. But I like the 1000 foot squirter.🚤🚤🚤🚤
I gotta say, Mitch’s mullet and stache is a winning combination. I hope he saves some women for the rest of us.
I had to shave my mullet off in the early 90s. So many women, and so little time. If you have never sported a mullet, I suggest you do so. It will change your life forever
My question, I’d love to hear your story on how you became an engine builder and engineer
I agree! I would love to hear Steve’s back story on how he has gotten to where he’s at!

+Steve Morris Engines: Well??? _WHY_ *are* the pistons B-L-A-C-K? 🤔🤔🤔
Appreciate your videos, Steve. You obviously enjoy your job and are very talented. Thanks for sharing.
Thermal coatings on those pistons I would expect. Trickle down tech from the aerospace industry.
I don’t understand why lapping valves would be a bad thing. Essentially it’s a final grind and polish which matches the valve to the seat. Isn’t it?
Could you post links to some of the tools you use. May be helpful for a lot of us learning, on recommendations on different hand tools and such you use for various building/machining tasks.
What was your opinion of Garrett using unrestricted nitrous when on Raceweek? Judging by the backfires with large puffs of black smoke, I think that may have been the cause of lifter damage. Wasn't sure if that was considered safe or not.

Well I guess we will find out next week but do u have to rebalance with the new rods, why or why not. Thanks for the great videos.
What do you use for assembly lube, break in oil and regular running oil? Brands and weights would be great.
How many times can you redeck a block before it's no good ? Or is that a possibility?
what coatings on what and where? and why do you prefer one over another. Thanks, Steve You Rock.
What’s the benefit of a timing belt vs chain? How much power and rpm can that belt take?
Hey curious how do you feel about r&r rods vs mgp? I know there both top notch was just curious what your thoughts were
How much rotational force is exerted on the timing belt? Why a belt and not a chain? Is the force relative to the horsepower?
Steve, I love the content. Do the new larger connecting rods weight more than the old ones? Would that effect peak the RPM of the engine?
Question for you Steve: if you were to stay wet sump on a high power motor like this running the sort of times and trap speeds that Mullet does, what sort of things could a driver do during the end of the run to minimise oil pressure drop, or the time the engine sees that low oil pressure?
@Steve Morris Engines how about putting QUAD turbos on Cleetus Engine, take the design of Bugatti and Chiron Quad Turbo
Looks like he was bucking at me at 0:08 I legit bucked back at my screen & Said " Ill take ya ass out boy " hahaha.
Steve,
What do you think of the tune Cleetus has been running on this engine? Is there anything you would change on it?
Is no one going to mention the dude working on Mullets engine had a mullet? Seems appropriate. 😎
That 🎵🔊 playing while Mitch was touch honing rocks 💪🤘
Why a timing belt instead of a chain or gears on such a high horsepower application?
What’s the cost of an engine like this and what is the overall longevity of this engine if you wanted to drive this on the street how often would it have to be maintained?
Why do you put a head gasket on between the block and torque plate for honing?
My question to you is this...
Who is harder on their motor, Garrett or Bailey? 😉
Why and what are the benefits of using a timing belt vs a chain. Cheers Steve
At what point do you go with solid over hyd lifters? What are the factors?
