Funny to see the gears turn in Steve's head when he heard about all the places they can put that coating.

[@superkillr]

If you put his brain on that hub dyno at that moment he woulda broke it.

[@angelmarcano6747]

Yep😅😅😅

[@stoichiometry147]

I was laughing so loud because my brain did the same thing at the same time. I had to google L2L and think I’ll plain to send them a bunch of parts :D

[@geniferteal4178]

It doesn't stop leaks.😂

[@Higuma_JPN]

Amen... The look on Steve's face as he brain went "TILT" when suddenly confronted with Turbo and Oil pump coating / mods... We might have some real innovative engine updates being tested this year and integrated into SM engines for 2025....

[@michaelmain1990]

He broke Steve's brain with throwing out them doing turbos and moving the boost curve

[@nickeley]

Shout out to Clark for absolutely killing it! .... and pulling faces in the background too. Legend.

[@stevececchele2880]

Shout out to Clark on the assembly. Nice to see professional, methodical, precise and clean prep and assembly work, always good to see a tradesman do his job so well.

[@edmahonejr.9364]

Clarky is really good at putting those SMX engines together and installing them in the car

[@davidtaylor3094]

Working like a machine

[@patrick39140]

When Andy was talking about the turbo and oil pump coatings I could see the wheels turning in Steve's mind on his facial expressions. Very cool knowledge to be had here about these coatings. Thanks for all these videos you do and for Line 2 Line Coatings for providing the details on the coatings.

[@Spad68]

Yup same here

[@MrNitromike1]

Wonder if they could coat my rotors and also the inside of my blower to decrease the clearance inside the blower plus have the triple strips thats already on the rotors?

[@michaelfackler9716]

Tec tip for 2024 , do not send your wife there ,would be an early 4th of july

[@middleagedoutdoors1106]

Clark is obviously no joke! For Steve to trust him with assembly and installation speaks volumes! Bring on the 5's for 2024! Next level stuff with the hi tech coatings!

[@recoilrob324]

That is SO great....at 17:45 when Andy is talking about coating turbo's and bearings you can actually SEE the wheels turning in Steve's head as he's contemplating the ramifications of that kind of thing. Very cool technology that is sure to find many uses in the high performance world.

[@WhiteManXRP]

Big shout out to Clark.. Good man, knows is stuff, definitely an OG, best guys to get the job done...

[@jakemitchell3535]

I love this content in between races! No other channel has such good tech videos

[@racerd9669]

Its funny 50 years ago I did just the same thing with a Yamaha SRX engine. I was working at a defense plant and we built massive guns for the US Navy. They had a coating that was used on gun slides. I coated them pistons to where they were a press fit, and just as he mentioned it fixed itself. So it has taken the racing world over 40 years to catch up to the military contractors.

[@brentbeiler7051]

Do you still have that sled? One of the best! How’d it run? Could you lean it out ? I did the same with a polaris 600 punched out to a 660, and would hold it’s own with piped up 800’s. I did throw a lot of lite weight products on it. 2006

[@cranjismcbasketball946]

Clark did good choosing the music for his part too.

[@Profabdesigns]

I am always amazed of what I learn from Steve’s channel. This technology can transfer over to so many other industries I am involved in. Funny how I have not heard of this. I am an Aerospace and Prototype Machine Engineer, and after 42 yrs I am still learning lots of new stuff. This is awesome.

[@Headsup9550]

You mean you've never heard of engine coatings? Engines nowadays have different coatings on every part it seems! Respect for your career tho!

[@joshmiller8663]

Clark is the man.

[@bayoumike544]

Can't wait to see teardown with coated pistons! Hopefully on a maintenance teardown.

[@WhiteManXRP]

Clark'n it out of the park, Mr. Wizard He don't mess around, haha. Love it

[@TheScottib1]

Man, I can't wait to see Steve lean on the monster SMX 😮, just hope he gets the power to the ground 👍🏻👍🏻, keep up the excellent work 😊😊 P.s a big shout out to Clark, for being entrusted to put the beast back together 😂💪🏻☺️

[@chrisgilbert2152]

its so nice that Clark has more comfy with the camera!!

[@steven44799]

Poor Clark, Steve pulling him back to Michigan to suffer in the cold.

[@peterjohnson4006]

Just to help Clark out on his favorite job....if you throw an oil ring on the piston you are using to square the ring in the bore when grinding em it makes it much quicker and is more repeatable.

[@ricktroxell6448]

I love the music steve puts in his video's theres not many other channels that look for good rock music most just put the same ole song for there time lapse one of the things i love about this channel and all the tech you could ask for

[@travisboatwright5466]

Hi Clark!

[@user-te7fu8su5d]

I think you should receive some type of award for your truly honest transparency in your videos. You give some of the absolutely some of the most useful information on your videos. Keep doing what you do and wish you all the best at sick week! Go fast or stay home!!!

[@bigduphusaj162]

but what happens if i want to go fishing?

[@iwanta69rs]

watching him explain the coatings to steve you can just see the gears in his head turning lol some crazy cool things to come you already know! that coating is just screaming rotary engine to me!

[@davidblain2714]

As the technology advances Steve, thanks for sharing this with us. I drag race and this information is gold!

[@uglybowlco.brasssorter1]

love watching Steves videos , we worked with Andy with line2line on a coating on bullets it was a fun project

[@bobroberts2371]

Time 653 " Self propelled fire truck only on of it's kind . " Sounds like a Jay Leno's Garage thing. . .

[@hankhank3129]

I've been really interested in those Line2Line coatings since the first mention from you, especially with turbos. Please let them do your compressor housings. I'd like to see how the boost curve changes. Thanks guys! Love it all!

[@pjcst]

I can see Steve's gears going around, throughout, with all the possibilities. Pistons, bearings, turbos, pumps FTW.

[@3800TURBO]

I've done the coating on so many things. Exaust and compressor housings. I noticed a decent drop in intake charge temp. I use the coating on used engines that I don't want to bore. Just a hone and then coating takes up the gap. Good stuff.

[@bigduphusaj162]

what just like LS George did back before the entite lot came out the bottom end one time?

[@CGT80]

@@bigduphusaj162 Not quite, Georges was an evaporust job! It might have lived if he used this coating. George just removed the bad stuff without adding any good stuff and then the ......I guess it doesn't matter whether good or bad, but all the stuff came out of the engine and Jackstand Jimmy yelled from the shop that I just heard that engine blow!😁

[@dunbarautomotive]

Steve I can see you gears ⚙️⚙️ running 5000hp. 😂 The coating guys are going to be dang busy!!!!

[@mr_mongo7228]

Amazing how coating technology has increased over the years and it constantly goes up at a logarithmic rate. I have been in the aerospace industry for decades and been around a lot of coating geeks and the things I have seen over the past 20 years is mind blowing. I would love to be in the high performance automotive side of the sector and watch the technology increase. Oh I order my hoodie too so I hope I’m fortunate enough to get a piston and rod with my order I could definitely make some cool garage art out of it.

[@ricktroxell6448]

That's awesome man I would love to pick your brain it is all so awesome to know how things are done at such a level as that

[@jrod9560]

Nothing like a Billet Rod!!!!

[@strykerentllc]

These long format videos being chocked full of technical information are a gem, Steve. No other engine designer is going to share their TDP and why they make changes to their designs. Most of the viewers simply enjoy the content while those of us that aren't involved in the racing industry however we do appreciate the empirical side of things having a manufacturing background, albeit in an unrelated industry. And no SME video is complete without a Dewey cameo which always makes our day brighter. We still have some hoodies untouched but why not add a couple more hoodies and a Dewbert shirt so as to ease some of the strain on the Wagon budget? It's a win-win for everyone and we're looking forward to seeing the feedback video on the piston & bearing coating. The piston coating reminds us of the DFL from Cerakote and the exhaust coating reminds us of their piston coating (oven cure) offering. Cheers! Edit: No Dewbert shirt - sold out in our size. Blue SM shirt instead. Cheers!

[@movingon5951]

SM is my favorite KZbin channel.... I'm far removed from motorsports now that I live in the Philippine but I'm a gearhead forever. I have to say that I'm so impressed with Clarks speed getting the engine together and back in the car, great job Clark....

[@rickbrandt9559]

I'm 79 ,gear heads are forever---------!!

[@sbcbuilder4279]

There were thousands of fans wondering if Clark dog-napped . Judging by the look on 's face he foiled the plot.🤣

[@michaelnelson8847]

Clark needs a "mullet power" t-shirt!

[@thomassherbert7572]

clark seems to bo almost a clone of your work philosophy and deserves a lot of credit for his dedication. I keep waiting for him to do a verison of Let's Do the time Warp though. LOL great job Clark.

[@ruthlessronniethemechanic5639]

I worked assembling motors for my uncles race shop in my teens and 20s never have i delt with billet blocks and heads only been able to deal with iron blocks with spec aluminum heads i miss it. Now in my late 40s would love to get back into race engines im a heavy diesel mechanic for the time being lol

[@Un-Kun-TROLL-Able]

Clark is the best. 👍

[@judgehastheword9069]

I just ordered my black Hoodie. Good luck everyone on getting a rod an piston. It would be a awesome gift. My favorite driver an Engine builder.

[@freddifish4179]

LMAO. Steve, when he mentioned turbos with zero clearance, zero friction and curve shift to the left I could literally see the gears turning behind your eyes... can't wait to see where the possibilities lead you. As always an awesome video.

[@2wheelzdown180]

Shout out to Clark !! Steve lucky to have a friend to trust to assemble the heart of your race week motor👍 most my friend I’d question a tire change lol

[@ricktroxell6448]

I would question triple A

[@steeveomcjameson8673]

Just watching the gears, cogs and wheels turning in Steve’s head as Andy was rambling about what he can do

[@joetri1970]

That's a dangerous look you had Steve when this guy is talking about coating bearings and turbos that's a lot to changes for sickweek but they are interesting.

[@ldtenenoff]

Man steve ur 2023 Sick week was brutal man, Steve ur quest is truly crazy commited to science of parts logevity = Speed ur commitment is legendatry thanks for sharing and teaching so many folks how hard gain thousands let alone 10ths

[@bigbaz8937]

PMSL at Steve's mind going at 1000 mph when the guy started talking about oil pumps LOL Steve it's at times like that I wish I wasn't retired.

[@larryjohnson7591]

Wow, I got a whole new appreciation for pistons. I just put rings on them and stuck them in the block. Did dirt track racing and 1/4 mile. Two different tunes but I made it work. Chevy for the dirt, and 70 Mach 1 mustang for the 1/4 mile. I learned to diversify.

[@NickEllett]

I genuinely learned a lot in this video sir. Very good stuff here. I had to rewind a couple times to comprehend everything

[@davidbeers5949]

Steve, I can't help but think you took Clark from Jimmy John's, because he's freaky fast at engine assembly!!!

[@tessierrr]

17:41 steve thinking about sending the whole engine over 😂

[@dommoss4264]

Clark is getting a workout with that torque wrench, he’s gonna have 24” pythons. “Whatcha gonna do brother when Clarkamania runs wild on you!” Really enjoyed that vid. 👏

[@FastSS02]

I can see the cut off T shirt with "Clarkamania" on it and a drawing of him ripping apart a phone book...or maybe an engine block would be better!

[@kjs357]

The look on Steve's face is priceless. You can see the wheels turning.

[@jonsetzer9556]

Line to line is a great product. I was amazed the first time I had them coat a piston and how it helped the engine seal up. Also had them save a dry sump oil pump for a customer that I couldn’t get parts for polished out the the high spots had them coat it. Had more oil pressure than when it was new.

[@DohcJames]

man you are living the dream, love your content and engines.- just a budget builder from alabama

[@montestu5502]

Nice modifications on the pistons! Continuous improvement.

[@ronthepainter3313]

Man, Clark works fast!

[@frankensteincreations4740]

Hell yeah! Absolutely amazing stuff… My brain is running wild like the look on Steve’s face, thinking of all the possibilities of use for the coating lol. First thing I thought before ever hearing it, was roots blower lobes… Self clearancing and never wears out basically… No more Teflon!!! Lol. Tight tolerances on rotor to rotor and rotor to case, with no excess heat build up either… like the Teflon does… Him mentioning the turbo compressor housings… amazing! Can tell that’s happening by the look on Steve’s face lol. Awesome just awesome. Far as the piston redesign goes, I thought immediately of a diesel piston… They have massive ring lands, and an iron reinforced ring grove if they’re aluminum lol. Then there’s absolute insanity with forged steel pistons lol. Due to their cylinder pressure… 👍🤘👏

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

That's called 'piston slap'. Good to see people taking steps to reduce it and improve performance.

[@StewMac570]

Steve thinking about all the things to coat is hilarious. 17:43

[@Bill-wz6tw]

You never cease to amaze me Steve Morris since I first started watching your channel and I wasn't so sure about you to now when I have all the respect in the world for you it has been an adventure watching you and I have never met you in person I feel like i know you though which is cool thing about KZbin in general. And thank you for sharing knowledge that is the most significant thing I love about you and your channel. Your enthusiasm, dedication and true love for what you are doing is contagious and I am so impressed by that I hope I catch this infection for myself even if it is not in cars or racing or engines but I would like to have just that much drive in my life also.

[@davidgough1161]

More learning, Thanks Steve!

[@michaelfackler9716]

My friends father ,back in the 80s was a distributor for protec anti friction engine treatment ,he showed me the roller bearing friction results ,they were like 50%of regular oil ,I wonder how it compares to your anti-friction additives, im still waiting for the grand announcement of the SM-XX and SM-XXX. 700+ AND 900+ CUBIC IN.

This is amazing information on how he makes his engines have so much capable horsepower I really wondered how he was making 4500 horsepower with a piston drive engine without nitromethane

[@alanluber8842]

THIS IS ONE OF YOUR MOST INTERESTING ITS A CLASS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL. YOU ARE THE GO TO GUY AND AS I WATCHED I NOTICED YIUR EYES GOT BIGGER WHEN HE SAID COATING OIL PUMP TURBO INTERNAL. BEARINGS COATED. YEP. THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. FOR MORE POWER LESS WEAR. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[@miceinoz1181]

Wonder how often you replace head studs, mains studs and big end hardware? Each time the engine is apart? Clark is a gem, can do most anything.

[@timburton1715]

Hahahaha... watching Steve's brain go into overdrive after he said "zero clearance and the boost curve moves left with no lag"... Steve's brain; wait... I WANT THAT NOW... more speed and NO LAG...!! LMAO 😂 no shit... this guys getting a TON of BUSINESS NOW
