In the 90's and early 2000's, I used to hang around shops like this where they were doing their own creations as A & B do. I learned so much from them, which allows me to be an open thinker on modifying stuff to make it work. The shops I hung around have since closed as these "wise men" have passed away with their knowledge. Please keep uploading more of these informative videos. Thank you
Some of the coolest old timers around. I genuinely respect people who can make things with their hands. Truly inspiring to us who aren't quite that age, what they can still do is astounding. Respect!
Cams made from lobe sections. Ford did this would some motors starting in the 1990's or so. Each lobe was singular, slipped over a tube , then a ball pulled through to expand the tube locking the lobes in.
Man it just doesn't get any better than this. The fact that these two genius's are willing to share this stuff with us and that you are willing to video is amazing. You are doing a hell'va job sir.
Well we can build anything we want but there's always some merciless thirsty sh*t looking for patents to steal. Even if builders could give out the designs, someone with more means will just nab and profit.
Im talking about electronics.ECU,ABS,ESP,AWD hardwere and softwere that could be offered as kits.Transmissions that could be interchangable just with adapters.Different sensors that could be installed easily.
Great to see that 2 guys in a shop with some affordable machinery can still build a race car that can set records...even build their own engine from scratch. There's still hope!
So I see they are somewhat onto my modular cam idea. I have thought perhaps super fast easy solution on the 12 cylinder as I am pretty sure they run seperate individual exhaust and intake cams. As such you could make a 12 spline shaft and have the lobes cut out of flat plate with 12 splines as well then just index each lobe to its proper spline and slide it in place. Have the spline interference fit and use an induction heater for assembly. Fast cheap cams to make or repair! I hope you try it.
Glad to have found your channel! Currently designing a set of 4 valve dohc heads for my mopar truck ! Still just on paper but will be modeling it out in Autodesk Fusion360. Chysler designed it sohc but it'll be a nice challenge! Thanks again for taking us along on a tour of your shop and showing us all the tech going into making this happen! Looking forward to see how you guys heads turn out! I was wondering a source for the big billits of aluminum?
AI and 3D printing is opening a world to home builders that was once only available to the big automakers. The next decade is going to be amazing. If WW3 doesn’t happen first that is.
I have neither the skills, tools, nor really the desire to build functional parts like these but watching other skilled craftsmen building unique and functional parts is somehow oddly satisfying. Good job How are they going to incorporate coolant and oil passages?
These videos are so informative. Good job of telling the story! Pete, maybe think about wearing safety glasses. You’ll want to see your cars setting records!
0:50 take a moment and realise how thick and strong that man's fingers are. I grew up in an age where Grandpa could lift 55 gallon barrels of gas off and onto a truck by himself, and those barrels were made of steel and were 85lbs, plus the gas. My Dad at age 70 would pick up his snowmobile and throw it into his pickup in front of bar just to show off to the younger 'tough' guys. Nobody messed with Joe, even the 'tough' guys in several towns. Joe was not a fighter, but they knew Joe just pick them up and throw them outa the way. Dad drank a lot and raced snowmobiles and worked hard on those days he wasn't drinking. Dad bought a 3ton truck b4 he bought an auger, that stupid fuck, so he shovelled 300 bushels of wheat and make 3 trips per day.
I was pissed the day after I graduated grade 12, Joe bought a stone picker and a grain vac. My younger Brothers are pussies, even tho they tower over me. Mom let it known that she used to help my younger Brothers shovel grain, I told her u never had to when I was at the farm.
I've seen proto cams (pretty sure there are some production engines using a similar construction) made with a tube as the shaft & individual lobes pressed on.
A minute in and the guy is running a machine with "Eye protection required" and is dumb enough not to wear any. He's just lucky to have made it this far without being a pirate.
Pete! You’re not wearing safety glasses!!! Don’t be like me. I had a piece of metal in my eye last year from doing that. Please for God’s sake wear safety glasses! Everyone should 🙏🏻

It’s so great that there willing to share there knowledge, thank you so much for the opportunity to witness these amazing craftsmen at work!
Always a pleasure to see Kevin and Pete work on the engines! I really like the modular head design!
I think it’s so important that you’re documenting all of this incredible engineering. Thank you so much. Cheers.
Legends pure and simple. Not that anything they are doing is simple. Thanks as always for sharing.

LOVE these shop videos! Keep em coming!
Will do!

I see Pete has his "safety squints" on. 😂😂
That aside, what workmanship! Truely amazing!!
I could watch and listen to Pete and Kevin all day.
Thanks Greg for your fantastic work! I love what these guys create !
The heads look great, I could watch these two guy's all day long; and very interesting to see procedure of making them. Thanks Greg
Being able to watch this sort of work is amazing! Thankful that this sort of content is made available thanks to TH-cam.
Man it just doesn't get any better than this. The fact that these two genius's are willing to share this stuff with us and that you are willing to video is amazing. You are doing a hell'va job sir.
Its fascinating to watch these guys at work. Thanks for posting it up here.
Great stuff. Gives me heart, seeing these older gents doing their thing and nailing it down!!
Have no words for these two brilliant guys. Unbelievable!
Thank you once again Greg! 👍
Legends.Just imagine how would car scene look if more freedom is given to builders...
Well we can build anything we want but there's always some merciless thirsty sh*t looking for patents to steal.

Awesome! I would love to work with these guys in that shop!
Super interesting. Nice old-school building with modern tools.
Really enjoy this kind of stuff. thank you so much !

I love these videos , these guys love what they do it’s awesome .
Thank you so much for doing this video. This is fascinating stuff, and old school, cutting edge. Awesome.
Great video. I cant wait for the next one.
More to come!
Kevin got new coveralls!
Love it.. many thanks for this look inside the shop
MORE OF THIS ❤

Very impressive.
Going to be an impressive engine and build.
I like the head design.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
These guys are AMAZING
These guys are wicked smart 👍
I'm intrigued as to how the head will bolt on, I don't see bolt bosses. The top plate might have posts that weld through the deck? So darn cool..
AI and 3D printing is opening a world to home builders that was once only available to the big automakers. The next decade is going to be amazing. If WW3 doesn’t happen first that is.
I appreciate your showing us what they do.
....so awesome.
What are their projected flow numbers for this new cylinder head?
making them cams the same way allan millyard dose ! you mite want to check him out his work is unreal !
I'd love to see how Kevin machined the channels for the intake and exhaust ports. That's a complex bit of CNC programming
I only roughed in the ports. The final ports will be developed by Geoff Mummert from Mummert machine and then machined on his five axis CNC.
@@kevinbraun6272 I was wondering how that would work without a 5 axis. Thanks for the reply, you're one of my machining heroes.
More please!!!

Thumbs up. Thanks fo awesome videos.

thanks for doing these man
Looking good Pete👍
I would Love to hang out at that shop for a week and watch what goes on, and what is the gold color on the camshaft?
Fantastic!

Nice Miller Syncrowave hiding back there
..
Awesome ❤ Thank You 👍
Awesome work
Awesome stuff, is what looks like a VF4 new to them? Don't remember seeing it in any other of the videos
I bet Smokie Yunick would have been impressed by these guys
i love love this!
Foresight & Intelligence !
Amazing engineering going on there, how many CFM was the test head flowing?
The 3D printed model flowed just over 500 CFM at .600 lift as I printed it. With a little development we hope to see 540.
@@kevinbraun6272yall do amazing work, I like the 1200 ci v12 that you designed and built, I have a v12 Rolls-Royce Griffon on a pulling tractor.
Anyone else interested in seeing videos of Gregs personal automotive projects ?
So Cool!!!
Did these men have seen the coats rotary valves?
I really wanna work with pete and kevin to gain some knowledge, i mean it.
True atrisans!
👍
I am so envious cause he don’t have to wear glasses?? I’m happy for him but envy is getting me…!!
I've seen proto cams (pretty sure there are some production engines using a similar construction) made with a tube as the shaft & individual lobes pressed on.
some vw cams in production engines are like this, snap a timing belt, need a new cam...
A minute in and the guy is running a machine with "Eye protection required" and is dumb enough not to wear any. He's just lucky to have made it this far without being a pirate.
Don't know how they get ANYTHING done with all the visitors. Safety glasses? "At my age?" LOLOL
Pete! You’re not wearing safety glasses!!! Don’t be like me. I had a piece of metal in my eye last year from doing that. Please for God’s sake wear safety glasses! Everyone should 🙏🏻
Damn...alot of heavy hogging ahead...
Once electric guys see what makes an engine work! They usually say, WTF are we doing 😂😂😂😂? There is so few of the old machinists left!
You are doing something spectacular here to share
Most informative and enjoyable
Keep it up
You are reaching far and wide
Thanks stacks
