Crazy to me what you you do to fix these things man. Truly impressive to watch this.
amazing work Gerald!! saving the meaux racing heads again
Thank you Gerald, true craftsmanship is hard to find!!
Great Footage, a true pro craftsman at work...
Mr Brand is surgical on the big blue lightning bolt machine, turning junk to jewelry!!!!
All in a days work LOL
Are those the heads off of the engine that was in the corvette?
No ship in from Calf.@@brandont65
A man with SKILLS!
Always super interesting watching you work your magic Gerald!!👍👍👍
Awesome work. Nice to see someone fix stuff instead of throwing it away and buying new.
Gerald, love watching this type of work. Thanks for showing us. Perfect job. Those look like Larry Meaux, is the porter. He messaged me last week. Old school cool like you. 👍👍
Thanks
Thank you Mr Brand for another great Video , i started showing your Vids to my Mechanics at my shop and they all ask is there any new videos from BRE , thats a wonderful thing Mr Brand to grab the attention of the Generation of techs i have working for me now compared to 37yrs ago....
It’s amazing. Watching an artist at work.
Gerald and Ruby y'all rock! Love seeing the master do his thing. Thanks Jackie for editing. Peace
Jackie does a great job.
I am impressed by how you just dove in on this one! Nice work Gerald. Im sure the head porting guy is glad not to do that repair! And I like the logo at the beginning, too.
Thanks
Nice work brother keep it coming I love watching you do your magic and you attention to detail ❤
Well done sir. I love watching these post. All sorts of engine builds all over TH-cam but there is only a select few ppl that will do repairs like this anymore. Thabks for sharing this with us.
I can't begin to explain how impressed I am with your work. You are a master machinist and artist! And humble....
Beautiful finish, I got an Edelbrock head that gotten a terrible weld job done to it :( and I might be stuck dealing with shaping the chamber. So this video should help me out when it comes to that.
Glad I found this channel I’m learning so much!!
Nice work. I have done something similar to a cast iron head. Aluminum is a little easier to repair, but still a lot of precision work.
We have used the 30 degree bowl hog as a top dresser for the seat blend into the chamber. It closely mimics the typical Newen seat extension into the chamber.
A true Artist you are Mr. Brand this takes talent anything can be fixed but in the wrong shop they are never the same after being fixed you sir are a master of your craft!
Thanks
Found your attachment of the dial indicator to the quill / touching off the deck, to get the seat depth, brilliant for the simplicity.
Thanks for sharing.
Always love watching you work
The dark arts of head repair will always be amazing to me. This is so satisfying to watch. And I always think no way can those heads be fixed and wam bam thank you mam you do it again! ❤
Unbelievably skilled. Awesome work Gerald
so impressive , sure wish I knew you back in my racin days bud... you finesse back to like new what others would have given up on... love seeing this
Kuddos to you

...awesome video, Gerald ! Thanks for sharing !...
You've just proved once again you da man when it comes to engine Gerald Chief thinks so and so does Damon keep doing what you do Sir it's perfect
This kind of machinist work has always greatly intrigued me. Tho my life’s journey has unfolded into transportation HVAC repair, I’ve often wondered how I would have fared within the machinists community.
Nice work and just a good guy. Definitely cares.
Thanks for the video Gerald.
What a talented man & gentleman to do business with…
Outstanding work.
That is some awesome machine work brother hats off
Beautiful work!!!
Love your content, very interesting and educational.
Happy Thanksgiving Gerald... it's amazing how you took what looked like junk to me and turned em into like new heads
That's good work. You're a wizard! 🍻🇺🇲
Masterful work 👌
How could all that work be cheaper than just buying new heads. That was an amazing job
You are getting lessons from a master machinist. For free! On how to do cylinder head repair. I just say thank you for the video.😁👍
$2300 per head
Nice work!
I always enjoy your video's.
Awesome video. That was impressive.
Very nice job. Look brand new.😊.
Great work
I have a set of Dart 345's and they are good heads. Even better when they're ported.
Clean fix.
Amazing talent!!!
Good job buddy!!
Amazing!
Great video!
Very nice job Gerald.
Thanks for sharing the process.
Happy Thanksgiving.
You to happy Thanksgiving

Gerald I could watch you do this all day you have a Happy Thanksgiving and we'll see you in a couple of weeks
Thanks
WOW!!!!
This video shows exactly why you pay dearly at a pro machine shop.
You pay for the incredible skill needed to do these jobs!
Thanks
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Man this was cool to watch!!!!
Awesome!!
That’s pretty cool what you can save that would appear to be scrape.
Brodix repaired my bb3x head after a valve went through a piston. Lots of damage to head. 8 weeks later it's hard to find where it was fixed. Nice work,delived on time as promised.
Brodix does a nice job. But the only repair their heads which I totally understand.
beautiful work, most people woulda made wall art out of those
I remember 25-30yrs ago you could find hardly anyone that could weld cast! Aluminum heads was pretty pricey back then!
Those heads look real familiar
Culasse moteur condamnée 😢😢 Sauvée.... Bravo 👏👏👏
There's just something about watching someone restoring something back to it's glory and being better than it would be when bought. I'm sure you run tighter tolerances than most. TY for sharing! Awesome graphics on the Brand brand intro? 🤔. Did I type that right?
Yes
Love to see it
Wooooww.... Back from the dead. That thing is back as new.
Thanks
Eine wirklich gute Handwerkskunst, wen die Hand zur CNC wird.👍
Way badass!!
If only the rest of that grenade was so easily repaired. Damn nice work.
Ruby got you a new subscriber 👍😉✌️
I my drag racing days I seen a pro stock head let go and there was a cyl missing and was welded up I've never seen welding that could fix it but they were amazing stuff
I guess not many people read the video description, shame I live in Australia because I would love to work with you Gerald. It would a great opportunity to learn a lot more about machining. I guess someone will read it eventually. LOL.
😀
Thanks
Gerald amazing the will to fix things is strong.
same with me, question sir where is the line when its not cost affective.and just buy a new set of heads
You Have to let the custom decide. Give them a price and let them decide. Thanks
Amazing Craftsmanship.
Welder here....but never done alum heads....surprised you don't bolt the head down in some sort of jig to minimize warping.....doing it that way how much warpage do you have to deal with ?
In my job we do everything possible to minimize warpage ...keep it down to .010
It is .010 to .015 to clean them up.
Impressive work! Do you work on Corvair heads?
That’s amazing work, I did wonder does it hurt anything when u cut in new seats that the aluminum between them cracks out with the new seats in? I wasn’t sure if it mattered or not, I guess I was worried they might crack further down but I’m not sure. I have a set of aluminum brodix heads thAt have 2.02/ 1.6 valves but need repaired so I wasn’t sure if it’s worth fixing.
E- mail picture and I can give you a price.
WOW!
Magician!
Great job. I love and hate aluminum heads.
I love the detail and narrative you provide, thank you! Does your guy who valves & ports the heads also cc them for volume and sign off, so they are compression-matched and competition legal?
The customer had someone that was going to do the valve job and report and CC the heads he just wanted me to do the repair work.
@@BrandRacingEngines I see, thank you for the fast response! It would be great if that process was on video, too. 😀 Cheers!
An older Wera brand Allen wrench. Recognize one anywhere. Love them concave flats they have!
I have 2 sets of 18° gm sm. Blk. heads. I guess thd old Nascar ones gm had. Building a dragrace motor. There are a couple cracks down in the cylinder walks where thd valves go. Local shops here say they are junk and not worth fixing but I've had engine builders say otherwise. I really want to use these heads on a new 377 combination. There were off a dirt car from what I was told and one of the problems I believe was the fact they have been ported to many times?? What do you think?? They came with a. set of t&d shaft rocker setup and alll the roller lifters and valves with one bent exhaust valve. The valves measured 2.20 which seems awful big but they are sll like brand new! Are they fixable????
Send pic. to my email Thanks
Don't like heating it up for the seat and/or guide install?
Welding some LS block as 6,0 liters. What welding rod is best to use and what Wolfram stick.
Have been trying to figure it out but no can do..... that`s why I do ask.
