Never rush and that why your work is precise. I never realized how much work is involved with this procedure, thanks for sharing Gearld. Happy Holidays, and 2024

[@BrandRacingEngines]

Thanks merry christmas

[@MrWill73]

I’m glad you said this Tim because I was glued to the screen watching this video😂 Super interesting what all that goes into building an engine and building an engine to the level that Gerald does. Great stuff!

So U don't work at a sausage factory to pay bills what type is ya?

[@NotaFanofkidfidla-eh2ek]

My bad it's the reel boi I grind the piano as a monkey I like what you guys do

[@exacto4]

definitely the cleaniest workshop I have seen in a long time. Says volume the professionalism of the operation.

[@jdshaw2751]

I love watching your professionalism and patience while fixing these motors Mr Brand! Keep em coming.

[@BenjySparky]

Gerald and Ruby, y'all rock! Thanks for showing how much goes into this. Don't worry. We will be here the next time you upload. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, y'all! Thanks, Jackie, for editing. Peace

[@joshuahonel7321]

Killer work as always. Thanks for taking us along for the ride

[@oikkuoek]

Thank you for the video! And Jackie too, Hat is sold. This lifter/pushrod business is still a dark magic to me. Thank you for shedding some light to it!

[@d.mcdave8880]

Well, I must be a newby cause that is the first time I have seen that style of ford roller lifter. Looking forward to seeing the bushing install. Merry Christmas Mr. Brand and Ruby. Thank you for making 2023 a lot more interesting. Hope you do more in 2024. God Bless.

[@freedomfox8183]

I know this is probably weird to you but if i could id watch you build engines for like a week and learn what I could lol . Even though I don't have the machines and will probably never need to know most outside of basic assembly , but it can't hurt to learn...it is awesome watching and learning every process you share .. thanks..

[@BrandRacingEngines]

I need to do a video on engine assembly. Maybe after the first of the year I've got several to assemble I can do some stuff and post it.

[@freedomfox8183]

@@BrandRacingEngines that would be awesome.. especially a SBC or LS

[@davidgough1161]

Thank you, sir. Always something to learn!

[@yattaran1484]

Always informative and love to watch your precision work !. More than 90% of this work seems the precice setting of the machine. 🤔 Can't wait to watch part 2 !.😄

[@Metalcrafter]

Really glad you did this. I never knew how much went into the setup. Fortunately, Mr B, Mr H, or Mr J thought about that fixture for a minute or 2.

[@mikemaccracken3112]

Thanks for the video Gerald. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@BrandRacingEngines]

Happy holidays!

[@bendaves77]

Thanks for sharing with us.. hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas Gerald!!! I watch a machinist who does Harley vtwins and it always amazes me with the time it takes just to set up a machine.. doing v8s you're working with heavier pieces and more work even after you get everything ready to go

[@keithk2926]

Beautiful job explaining the hole procedure sir ,excellent machine work 👍

cool stuff. My brother used to do this kind of machining. I went the other way. Welding and fabrication. Great video !

Using the Wera’s again. Love those tools.

🙂

[@toddclark332]

Love watching you Gerald have a great Christmas sir

[@chief3378]

Always liked watching how you set things up and walking us to the steps also Gerald the video is not complete unless Ruby in it Merry Christmas and Happy New Year hope you had a good time at the PRI show

[@privatedata665]

Hey , a video on how you clean engine blocks would be interesting ...at least I would find it interesting

[@Big_Country0179]

Awesome video really enjoy seeing special attention that goes into making horse power thank you.

[@Big_Country0179]

We use to use Lucus motor oil,nice set up.

[@johnanderson591]

Damn great video thanks for your service

[@ckane510]

Wow. that's like a thousand times more complicated than the tool I made to do the same thing to a Ford block and it worked great. It was a pulling tractor, but the same concept for the lifters. He went out and won the first time out after the modification.

[@leonardseliga5610]

Great info as usual. Merry Christmas my friend.

[@caesar1295]

No wonder Damon’s motor lasted and ran so well. Sir you are a consummate professional AMS Thank you for these videos I worked on air craft Jigs G111, A6, A4, A7, KA6D, KC130, C5A & B’s, F14, KC135, C130 and a few others and thought those were precise but brother you’ve got them covered hands down. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@BrandRacingEngines]

Thanks

[@QueenCitySpeedShop]

Why is it I wanna buy everything BHJ makes? Thanks for the video. Now my credit card is gonna suffer. 😂

[@edwinwilson4333]

Great Work 🏁 Could train Ruby to run the camera for you, or would she want too much? 🤔

Same to you sir

Very Nice...I have the same fixture for Chry big and small.

[@ronmedenwaldt]

Looks like you've done this a time or ✌️ Mr. Brand! 😁. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! 🤔 Don't know if you've ever mentioned having a hot rod yourself.

[@LouiseSmith-cm8kw]

Great video thanks

[@gmcnelly2468]

Quick question. Are the bottom of the end plates parallel to the pan rails?

[@BrandRacingEngines]

Yes

[@gmcnelly2468]

Thanks for the quick response. Merry Christmas to you and yours.@@BrandRacingEngines

[@Bill-flatplanefool]

This is pretty much the setup I want to run

[@CapnBubbaa]

Great Video Content... everything in not CNC.. Craftsmanship is still alive in OK. Just keep doing what you do... There will always be critics (Most of these critics think they are internet professionals, Most have a "Elephant Mouth, and a Humminbird Ass". when the chips are down most can't change a spark plug... enough said.

[@BrandRacingEngines]

No Sh**

[@deplorablelibertarian]

Alright….I don’t know a lot about engines, I just know basic parts/assembly/how it works. Is this so you guys can get more precision on the lifters and rollers or whatever. The camshaft lobe hits another lobe with a wheel and a lifter on it…is that what this is for?

[@Rosy_87]

Very interesting

[@sanger440]

I always wondered how you machinist got everything so square and precise. Thanks. How in the heck can you make a living doing this stuff when it takes such expensive machines and tools on top of hours and hours of set up and tear down, cleaning, measuring, etc,etc ? Boggles my mind.

[@BrandRacingEngines]

You have to love it

[@eugenelipe8846]

I have a stupid question and on a key lock . Is the benefit rpm or longevity?

[@BrandRacingEngines]

It's mainly a issue with pushrod clearance. You don't have the tie bar to break sometimes. I don't see any benefit in RPM with the key slot lifter. There are no stupid questions.

[@edsmachine93]

Very nice Gerald. What kind of mill is that? I would like to get set up to do that. I was going to do it in the Comec ACF200. They make a Cat 40 spindle for it. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

[@BrandRacingEngines]

Summit mill They're actually located here in Oklahoma City

[@edsmachine93]

@@BrandRacingEngines Very nice. Is it a CNC/Manual? BTW, Very good video. Merry Christmas.

Yes it has a conversational keyboard on it you can do quite a bit with it as far programming

[@michaelfackler9716]

Would it be possible to use synthetic trans fluid as a lubricant ,

[@BrandRacingEngines]

No not for cutting oil

[@Timbo428CJ]

That's a slick setup to do that job. Srtup is pretty lengthy alsò, Is that a new machine for you? Man, that 460 doesn't have much room between cylinders. it's gotta be difficult to keep the heat down. Interesting video Gerald, thanks for sharing that ! Happy Holidays to you and Ruby 🎄🎉

[@DependableAutoTruck]

there any advantage to using this system like on any of the dodge applications, or any of the gm applications
