    The way you had to twist and pull that inner spring around the retainer piece, the inner spring saved him a major rebuild

    Still the only channel I support financially,granted it’s not much in the big picture,but being a DVET ,on disability and bed bound, it says a lot about how much I enjoy watching his channel, he seems to have a great personality & really knows his stuff, as a ex tech I miss wrenching the smell of race fuel,& the bits of rubber all over your shirts, this channel helps to give me a break from the Monday of being bedridden..keep up the great work !

  • @Berm_Blaster
    @Berm_Blaster Před 9 měsíci +6

    Some say they're surprised that these engines can make so much power but it's the street driving that breaks stuff. It makes sense to me. The long sustained run time while driving is hard on things whereas a race the engine may run for 3 minutes max from start to finish. 5 hours straight run time is incredible and the fact that there wasn't more severe damage is a true testament to how well your engines are built and designed. Your the man Steve!

    Steve, I love your videos and your engines!! You are a brilliant man. Please hire an editing team for your videos. This is not meant with any disrespect.
    As an example- we watched you do the math on neds 2000rpm for 5 hours =300 000 times the exhaust valve opened. Then just a few seconds later in the video you are bringing it up again. I understand that the 2 parts may have been hours or even days apart for you, but an editing person or team would keep the video flowing smoothly and make sure all parts have music.
    Again, I love and am always learning things from you. Thank you!

    Steve, dude i LOVE watching your channel. I'm no engineer or engine builder or even rebuilt my own engine but watching your channel has shown me things i enjoy watching like anything mechanical. Keep on keeping on brother. I drive a 95 F250 4x4 with the 5.8l Windsor and would like to get a little more hps out of it. I've got a set of factory heads that I've ported and have a set of gt40 heads that i also ported along with the original lower intake that I also ported and port matched. Im a little scared to install because afraid of fucking something up. I don't have money to replace the engine if need be and don't know what to do.

    Eric's shop is less than two miles from my home, and he's heck of a nice young man.
    He's worked on my old F250 7.3 several times.
    Glad to see he's gotten back in the car, because I thought he was taking indefinite break from racing here while back.
    But I don't keep up with the racing style he does, too much TV drama for my taste..
    Not saying them boys don't run hard, just that it's too commercialized for me.
    Mr. Steve, the way you bend over backwards for your customers, is exactly why your customers come back every time they need something bigger and badder, because you stand behind your work regardless.
    Plus you tare it down to see what failed, so that you can improve anything that shows to be a weakness in your design, are anyone else's honestly from what I've always seen.
    So your work is proof of how much it matters that you supply your customers the very best your abilities, and I believe that you even update their engines once you develop improvements.

    The exhaust gas pressure / flow will help to close the valve with the inner spring keeping the valve stay closed during compression and power stroke. Sort of like the desmo valve system in some older Ducatti bike engines, and some old GP engines to eliminate valve float.

    So, being in the business for over 50 years I have to sympathize when it comes to bad parts, but just a few years ago I was building a big block for a customer. Having built so many engines complacency or attention to detail almost cost me a bunch. While assembling the heads everything was going just fine when something caught my eye. On one valve the distance between the keepers looked excessive. I looked at the other valves and some were what I would consider normal, some had a bit of space, and this one had a bunch. So I began looking at each situation and found that the bubble packs of locks were mixed; 5/16ths and 11/32nds. I had to stop and have a cup of coffee. That really could have been catastrophic. Parts have been an issue for all of us, but something like that could slip by so easily. And in the event that the engine does grenade, a good guy like you needs to evaluate the situation to a conclusion and do the right thing, not go on the defensive. Some of us still care. Good job.
