[@mr_mongo7228]

I’m no engine builder but I’ve polished a few turds over the years and I have to say I wish I would have had Pete’s videos back in the day to educate me. I appreciate the fact that he spends the time to explain the process whether its a high dollar race motor or a turd!❤

Joe has been a good addition to the channel. He fits in well, captures good content, and asks good questions.

[@salvatoregiovanni8967]

Love to see the old school speed handle and ratchets. Maybe I’m a dinosaur too, but I hate to see builders zipping away with an impact. Like Pete said, there’s something to be said for the “feel” you get with traditional tools.

[@gteefxr3094]

Goddamn right.

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

You should not see any decent Engine Builder using air or cordless tools when doing assembly on a engine.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

The ONLY case where it's acceptable to use powered tool heads in an engine build, is the highly calibrated and extremely precise robot systems used in factory production lines for mass-produced civilian transport vehicles. EVERY top end sportscar, hypercar, low volume production edition, the manufacturers get in a specialist trained engine assembler, the sort of folks who will fit a plaque to every engine they assemble, with pride in thier work, and use hand tools.

[@kevinmoss970]

100% you can feel any tight spots in threads. Especially critical if you're setting an initial torque then following with so many degrees after to stretch bolts.

[@NateLarsonTheNetNinja]

Came here to say this. Funny thing is, I learned most of my mechanic know how from my dad, and we used hand tools on everything, not just engines. It's still a habit of mine. It's only recently that I've realized that people use impacts for everything. I thought they were just for breaking lug nuts loose!

[@foxsetup]

I stopped racing for the last 2 years.. Life beign life. But watching you just going for it and enjoying life and what you love doign really inspired me to finally get back at it.

[@EarlwithanE]

Love the engraving on the piston tops…..so cool and unique. Also, loved the conversation with Pete. These guys are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks to Joe for capturing this footage!!! Can’t wait to see this beast in action again 👍💪😎

[@Keifsanderson]

I was surprised to see the engraving. Would have figured the sharp edges of it would cause hot spots on the piston and maybe even piston erosion, but what do I I know? I'll defer to Pete.

[@PhiddyPford]

I’m not seeing engraving, but a design in the coating

[@johnsnow1355]

​@@Keifsandersonexactly what I thought but it looks lazer etched like u do on glass so still a smooth finish.

[@benellinut4876]

LOVE watching engine building! Back in the 80's when I was early in my wrench twisting day (mechanic) I rebuilt a lot of engines, best part of my job! Originally, after school I wanted to be a machinist, took two years of machine shop trade school, but getting my foot in the door was going to take years so I turned to my second passion of working on cars and just stuck with that, retired an ASE Master Tech, I was good at it and Loved it! Back then we rebuilt everything, engines, transmission, even starters, alternators, brake master cylinders, just about everything. Rebuild engines and trans were my fav jobs but engines was #1, I still got to apply many of the skills I learned in machine shop. Rebuilding them is lost art now because shops labor rates are so high, it's cheaper to but a used or crate engine, which is sad in my book, mechanics have become parts changers. Tired & retired now I have the time to work on just my own stuff, I just got done doing a frame up restoration on an 85 GMC S15 (same as Chevy S10), I rebuilt the 2.8 that was in the truck (rebuilt many of those 2.8's back in the day) and put a loping Comps Cam kit in it along with headers, man does she sound sweet! So many people ask me, "Is that a V8 in that truck?" Nope, sounds like it but it's a V6. ;-) I do want to put an old school small block in the truck sometime in the next few years but for now I'm having a ton of with my toy. And my wife is happy I'm off my azz and working in the shop again! My 2.8 running off the headers --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2nEeXlpe6l2eZY Keep up the videos Mike! I LOVE watching them! If you want to see my truck build I have a thread running on the S10 forums with pics from the start, let me know, don't want to post it publicly but gladly send it to you privately, I know you like the S10's ;-) And tell Fry to keep making the Engine Masters shows! I watch every one of them! You and Fry are so awesum! Wish I could hang with you guys one day, I'll sweep your floors LoL!

I'm excited about this one... I've got a good feeling about it. I can't wait to see and hear it on the chassis dyno. Gotta get my headphones charged up for this one! I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for fast and reliable Blasphemi!

[@gteefxr3094]

Totally agree with the comments about impact usage. There are many places you want that "hand feel". What really aggravates me is people using them on vintage projects, where you want to make sure threads and fasteners are up to par.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

I'm so glad Pete and Steve are willing to share their motor wizardry with us mere mortals. 🙏

[@jonwheeler2414]

I can't imagine how big Pete's mind is and everything that man can do he is freaking awwesome

[@joshuasalvage4717]

The only other motor ive ever seen that had a domed piston like that was in my old sportster. Super awesome build, and joe did a great job with pete, he asked all the right questions and his conversation with pete were great and kept me intrigued. Your channel Mr Finnegan is in my top 3 on KZbin, because you still love it and do it for you and not the views and its not over produced. Mr Tony Angelo is in the top 3 also for the same reasons. The love for your projects is awesome and relatable to us who have cars, trucks and toys that we love!!!! Keep it up!!!

[@brianrichardson7946]

Love it and can't wait to see this back in blasphemi and on the dyno getting tested. Also wish the videos were longer cause I can't get enough fsm content. Thanks for bringing all of us along for the fun

[@Clem_Kadidlehopper]

10:35 ive been screaming to heaven about turbo vband clamps and impacts for years. Its a stainless bolt and nut...lock nut. Friction type lock nut not a nylon type due to heat. So slamming one down super heats that nut and bolt. I run them down with a quarter inch ratchet or my blue point air ratchet at about 80 to 90 psi air at the hose. Its slow and that nut still gets pretty warm just doing a steady run down. Then they either break the next time you remove because its welded itself or it fails because its brittle. In semi and buses using air tools which run slower than modern electrics those clamps rarely fail but now that turbos are everywhere they fail regularly. You can run the t bolt clamps on couplers fine as they are nyloc. But you cant run friction lock ESPECIALLY stainless nuts and bolts or problems WILL occur.

[@gallonoffuel]

It's not even really because it's 'friction lock' or any kind of locking fastener, any stainless hardware will cold weld itself together if you jam them down with power tools. Broke a lot of bolts before I read about cold welding.

[@roostingthe6520]

Petes a bad dude! Been following him since he was the first to the 3's on a radial a long long time ago!.

[@1962markstubson]

Pete is pure no nonsense engine builder. Listening to him and Cletus makes to total sense on building a combination that fits the car and not twist the motor trying to rev the piss out of it trying to think that’s how you get horse power.

[@dparisi420]

Have waited for this since drag week last year. I just had a feeling mike would be rebuilding that motor after he fried it the first time. Pete does amazing work and it was awesome to see a master at work. I'm hoping to see 1150-1200 outta this motor, hemis are bulletproof and likes to eat pistons as Mike found out😂😂 MOPAR for life!!

[@williamstamper442]

When i seen FSM on top of the pistons i knew Pete is THE guy! I LOVE compression and Pete basically said he wanted more with deeper valve reliefs so the camshaft can hold the exhaust valve open longer and sooner. Ok he didn't say that last part but thats what i heard!

[@obsessedracing7843]

New guy did a good job filming and talking to the camera.

[@kevinmoss970]

Back in the day, we measured piston to head clearance (or bump clearance) using soft solder stuck to the piston using a touch of sticky grease. Turn the engine over to squash the solder, remove.the head, and then measure the solder thickness with a micrometre.

[@Ron_Presley]

Cool engine building room with nice Mini Split A/C. Pete is a top shelf engine builder and tuner, so I have no doubt this engine will stay alive and with more power than ever. I myself prefer aluminum rods especially in my blown gas flat drag boat back in the day. Steel rods if you throw one cause more damage to your engine and tear up a lot of boats. Great video guys. Thank you. I love watching race engines being built.

[@Ron_Presley]

@ClickOnProfile383 wow the hacker is busy today looks like everyone’s lucky today. Thieves are in the same group as murders, rapists. Pedophiles all them fine scumbags.

[@shoominati23]

I think one of the Pro Stock guys said the difference between Aluminum and Steel rods was with Aluminum when a rod goes he might be able to salvage the heads and block, whereas with steel he would be lucky to salvage one of the valve covers

[@barryobler9491]

Nice to see the speed handle, exactly what I use. What about the before and after compression, and how much of the increase in dome size was necessary to offset the deeper valve relief?

[@chrisbartlett6022]

Nice big uppy downy thingies 🙂My Brother Drags an old "surviver" bucket here in the UK, he would LOVE a small block, let alone a big block or hemi. Currently running a 4.6 (I think) Rover V8, has a blower re build to do over the Winter for a built 3.5. Not absolutely sure of the figures.

[@chrismadaj8751]

I aways like to use a hand held speed Ratchet that you were using on the heads brings back memories now everybody's using electric ratchets now days great stuff Peat GODSPEED

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

Hey Joe, You are a great addition to the videos. But on thing, at the end You said her is the short block. When the heads and top end are fitted it is called a long Block.

[@Bob0sModelFabWorx]

What I saw, among all the goodness, is 8 chances to win at a future contest for when Mike blows up this engine. Those pistons will be a great addition to that with the "FSM" logo on them. And it will happen. We all know it.

It allows for more rpm which keeps the car in gear longer which means more mph per gear and helps with longevity some

I so feel that thing about tools with feel. I'm an electrotech, and despite the arthritis, and despite the fact i have 4 power drivers, i always reach for the Wera manual drivers first

[@LaserLuther]

The guy that designed the Quad 4 is also responsible for the 2V 4.6 and the Northstar (also a 4.6) the North star morphed into the vortec inline 4, 5 and 6cyl (4200). I have no doubt that the LS is related to the SBF.

I see Pete’s name popping up in everyone’s comments about how “really good at doing stuff”😂 he is. Which he is too and it’s awesome KZbin was able to put him in the spot light.

But not having yet another ls build is worth it.... But really, he is also severely limited by the class he runs, which limits his power adder. He's said before the blower is the limiting factor. Turbos would double this easily, but he can't run the class he wants then.

The ls shares more with the sbf than it does with a sbc. Bore spacing, firing order, overall hardware, deck height a lot of similarities that made it easy for ford performance shops to also pick up on the ls motor
