He is definitely someone that I would love to spend time with talking about old car stuff and building engines. He is his own book of knowledge.
It’s a shame his knowledge would pass right along with him…..someone should definitely sit and listen to all this fella has to offer…just like my grandpappy!!!! Smart guy for sure!!!
He is a classic character that Ed. He has forgotten more than most will ever know. You are the best!
Thanks 🙏 from Ed
Ed you remind me of an old motor guy I used to know straight forward and simple.
ed is just wonderful to listen to i hope you can make more of these
Well that’s a
Welcome invite. Ed is the man, much respect to him.
Thanks Ed. Always enjoy your Knowledge with my coffee in the morning.
So nice of you to comment like that. Awesome!
Keep this man healthy! We need him around as long as possible!
What a awesome day it would be to spend a day with Ed! These guys are getting far a few between Just the tricks they've forgotten would be priceless.🏁🙏❤️
Thank you sir!
@@BarryTsGarage I enjoy the candor and knowledge of the guy"Respect to us old guys!
Thanks again. I love hanging with Ed. My joy to bring you along.
11:06 the over pressure relief could be opening, or cam bearings and i don't care for a high volume oil pump either,unless the clearances are wide. First thing id do is try thinner oil, then if that has poor outcome, try 20w50
Thank you I am going to ask Ed to comment more on this 👍
Good video Ed, so many problems that could solved with a little thought, cam center very important!!, sonic check very important, you can always offset the bores, that would make a great video, thanks Ed from a kid of 69 years lol.
Interesting point - - Thanks for sharing!
He is a walking encyclopedia of motors and I'd love to have that hemi in the back
👍👍🙏
I would give my left arm to work/study under Ed. He is a living breathing walking information storage solution. The knowledge he poses is amazing.
Thanks for the Q&A’s with Ed these video’s are priceless
Glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback 👍👍
Wow!! The knowledge he has .. great Interview!
This guy is a thesaurus of engine engineering..What a MECHANICAL MIND HE HAS..
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A REAL CRAFTSMAN .
Thank. you!
You couldn’t have gave a better example on high vol pump and the egg beater. I think we’ve all seen that one. If I had been in the market I would’ve bought the idea and had problems so glad to learn.
That was extremely interesting and I'd never heard about that offset casting issue in small block chevys.
I'd like to know the whole story...
It’s called Core Shift I’m sure there is information available about it if you google that.
@@stevewalters6853 I understand core shift but I'd never seen it like that and never heard it associated with small block Chevys so I wanted the backstory...
@@2packs4sure Ohh ok I’ve always known about it because I’ve got a lot of SB’s and some are really bad shifted. As far as what applications that might be used for idk but I’m fixing to use one that’s bad shifted and bored .060 for a wrecker which of course will be low RPM I’m hoping it will be okay but I am concerned about overheating. It wasn’t sonic checked for thickness on the thin side so we’ll see.
I’ll ask Ed to tell us more 👍
@@BarryTsGarage Please do !!
I genuinely love this. It's about as close to sitting down for or a cup of coffee, as I can get with Ed.
Agreed! Thanks!
I really enjoyed that but all of a sudden it was over and I’m thinking where did the time go it felt like I just pressed play two minutes ago 😀🇨🇦
Wonderful - Thank you, Keith!
Ed you are one sharp cookie, you remind me of the guy who built my last engine Dennis Smyth, Mr Mopar. Machinists like you are few and far between 😊😊😊
Thanks - I’ll pass it along to Ed!
Have you guys ever did a segment on the difference between a high volume oil pump and a high pressure oil pump? I'd love to hear that.
Standby for a new episode !
High volume has bigger rotor gears and moves more oil. High pressure just has the pressure relief set to open at a higher pressure.
Ed is such a nice man. Thanks for doing these videos. There Awesome!
👍🙏
I've got a question, have I missed the video where Ed talks about early Hemi's? ( Gen 1 ) There's one in the background. Honestly I don't care what he's talking about! SOLID GOLD!
I will ask Ed to go over it again in the future video, thanks for watching and appreciate you liking and subscribing!
Ed is a walking encyclopaedia I could listen to him talk all day!
Thanks Ed you are a wealth of knowledge !
So nice of you
Ed I worked on a friend's stock car bomber class Buick with 430 Cid he could not get timed. I set by ear and ran great until it blew up
Another great video and learning session ! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it
Ed is a true legend in the engine world 🏁
love these questions and he is sharp as nails ... great content
Thank you! 🙏
Been waiting on this series....great info. Thanks guys.
More to come! Thanks 🙏
Love to here him tell stories and very knowledgeable thanks edd.
More to come!
Thanks Ed.you must know Jack tant in Littleton nc
I will ask Ed
would Love to hear ED'S thoughts on 2-strokes. he's gotta know something we dont
Thanks for bringing up this topic, I will ask Ed in an upcoming episode!
I wonder if anyone ever used nickel filler wire, and a tig welder to give heads casting #'s ? Seems its possible, with work. Some grinding, filing, and acid etching. Maybe a needle scaler to get that cast look. Maybe a bit of sand blasting. Then paint the inside of the head. Definitely a milling machine could get the numbers all even, it could turn a set of dart, or bowtie heads into a set if 70's smog heads by the #'s haha . probably the cadting marks also. Id hate to remove the bowties from s set of heads tho.. going from a set of 75 1/2ton truck heads to a set of dart heads would double the power!😂
Great channel
Thanks 🙏
Like him for the same reason as I like Millyard
Have u ever dimpled the head intake runners like a golf ball, I built a set of heads ,while doing this ,friends laughing at me, ran great
Great question - I’ll ask Ed!
305 H.O. heads on a 283 is something i wanted to try in something about 2400 lbs, with 4-5speed. And 3.73:1 gear. with a 11:1,. 283.
I’ll ask Ed what he thinks
Its about port velocity and density, not port size, ED is right !
Thanks!
You are a very intelligent man and id love to subscribe to your channel but there is no subscribe button. Did I look good enough. I don't see it. Thanks for all your great videos
Thanks. Please look again. It should be there!
Ed have you ever heard tell of a split key way in timing gear to change cam timing
I’ll ask Ed in a future episode 👍
Thanks I believe you make your own key way and off set it
Nothing to hurt anybody,,
But those were the days. 😅
He’s kinda like Smokey Yunick but fully willing to share all the secrets now….
That’s a pretty good description 👍
@@BarryTsGarage thank you, I’m glad someone got my comparison. Was done with only the highest respect intended 🤟🏻🏁
That’s how it was taken. 👍 I made the same comparison to Ed in his presence, and he was very gracious and humble about that idea. I will tell you it took a couple years of talking to him before he decided he was willing to start letting go of some of the things that he has kept to himself for so many years.
Thanku.
👍🙏
This m'en is a Legend
People nowadays are not Mechanics... they're part replacer's! Our youngest just got a 3000gt overheating & a leaking radiator. He said "i need to save for a new one." I told him "how do you know, you haven't tried to fix it?" 🤯
Then i started thinking & asking people if they new anyone who has fixed a radiator? NONE!... How about a starter,...alternator... anything???
Parts are 50/50 shot you'll have to return to parts store after installing & removing A NEW ONE!!! 😡
I TRY TO FIX EVERYTHING, cause chances are you'll be changing it again within a year 🤔(maybe twice! )
Wow, your comment is dead on! I think that’s why guys like Ed Smith and Allan Travis are fascinating and people like them is there a first thought is to repair not replace… And repair means take everything apart until you find the part that needs to be fixed!
SO VEREY TRUE . BUT WE ARE IN THE AGE WHEN THE YOUNG ONES CANT EVEN CHANGE A LIGHT BULB
It was a 58 or 59 283 truck block the best I remember
How can I get ahold of the company in Australia that cast heads?
Not sure it’s still there it’s been years
I call it a good ass-ometer some got it some don't.
How do I get Ed's family story book ?
I’ll ask Ed to get busy and write it 👍😁
Thank you for your knowledge and videos USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024
just love these vids you are a master, Mr Smith 👍
Thank you I’ll pass that on to Ed
