@ I try and give away a few a month to people who are helping others in comments with accurate info, helping us if there is a wee typo here and there etc etc. Most of that flys under the radar which I think is good, keeps it personal, but we do try =) - Taz.

i love this sort of content

Perfect! We'll do our best to keep it coming 😎- Taz.

@@hpa101 First of all, your content is second to none. No one else traverses the world to openly talk engine tech. So Bravo! We know this sounds self promoting, but we really wish after all these years someone would consider featuring Deep Cryo for what it is.. Its always been treated as the elephant in the room that no one wants to acknowledge...

dude I am so appreciative that you applied your knowledge and passion into something like this channel and HP Academy. This interview (as well as all your other ones) are absolutely brilliant and filled with information not available outside of a combination of engineering classes plus industry experience. I am a software engineer so these topics don't often fall into something relevant to my career, but you bring the kind of information I would have never been able to learn elsewhere to me and so many others with these videos! Thank you :)

[@pedrocacao5081]

Awesome content, thanks Mountune and HPA!

[@hpa101]

Cheers Pedro, glad you enjoyed it mate - Taz.

[@marthamryglod291]

This channel has the best interviews for technical knowledge and in-depth motorsport information

[@hpa101]

Appreciate the support! - Taz.

[@JlerchTampa]

I love that we live in a time where not only is this technically possible, its available to anyone with the skill, time, and money to jump in and give it a go! Awesome Tech!

[@boosthit811]

That was class. Good info on liner installation.

[@hpa101]

Straight to the point with that little nugget of info :) - Taz.

[@colinjohnson5515]

Hate to dogpile on the praise but you’re doing great interviews. Andre is doing all the work here. He’s talking the talk with david and then translating it into people speak quickly. The video is paced well and I don’t feel the need to bump playback to 1.5x-1.75x. Thanks for the content!

[@hpa101]

Cheers for the praise Colin, it does help us to know what you guys are enjoying and is much appreciated. We have another one with David lined up for release in a few weeks too 😎- Taz.

[@NotPoliticallyCorrect407]

Great interview again Andre, real people , real knowledge. Quality channel mate 🍻👍🏻

[@El_Chompo]

I have learned more about high performance cars on this channel than anywhere

[@Gkuljian]

It's funny that I love this channel because I sold my Porsche 928 recently, and have no intention of ever buying an internal combustion vehicle again. But this stuff has been so much a part of my life that I still breathe it. And the content overlaps into other areas besides cars, like this video.

[@mugencity]

Awesome stuff. The note about the sleeves being a bit proud makes sense.

[@particlewaveduality]

Great discussion. Just about the perfect level of detail without diving into jargon and esoterica that would confuse laymen like me. There's a lot of smart people in the world, but it's a mark of genius to be able to explain complex subjects quickly, using plain language everyone can understand. Well done, mate.

[@DavidViny]

Great interview, love the real tech talk.

[@simonnorup]

great with all that deep down technical talk. it’s hard to educate yourself about something like that and to finde information and sites to read up on that stuff. A big thanks from 🇩🇰 and keep it coming

[@flyonbyya]

I didn’t know that castings, in certain applications, still have significant advantages... As usual...Great Interview!

Just found this channel. Really loving these one on one technical talks. Cheers

[@hpa101]

Glad you found us! We have a really good run form the Goodwood trip still to come, but if you want to dive back a bit further anything with Shane T, Collin Willshire and Oskar Elmgren are some of my personal favourites, but there are so many other great interviews too. Enjoy! 😎- Taz.

Fantastic; A great bit of information from a highly experienced professional. Thanks!

[@turnersgarage6792]

You should go see some hillclimb events if you are in the UK, people there are doing some wonderful things designing blocks to make v8 motorcycle engines and generally pushing the limits of engines.

[@hpa101]

Would be great if we could manage that one day for sure. There are some amazing one-off builds out there from some very clever people - Taz.

[@Chowder13PL]

Great video as always! Its good to hear some design info and I would really like to hear more!

[@barje.waffles5461]

As always, awesome work HPA team.

[@321-Gone]

Very cool. Now I'm watching the follow up video.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

3D printed blocks in 2019, what a time to be alive. 👍 At the rate of progress, it won't be long until we get to see a complete 3D printed engine. Pistons, valves, crank, even an exhaust and turbo capable of handling that heat. 😳

[@HenryOCarmichaelSmith]

You'll have to head back to 2014 to find 3D printed turbos kzbin.info/www/bejne/en_IlYiQrbVrhLc

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@@HenryOCarmichaelSmith I completely forgot about this. 🤦 Awesome link bro, thankyou. 👍 Time to refresh my memory on the Agera and One:1. 😎

[@rogerking7258]

Mountie's not actually saying they used printed blocks, but that they can use 3D printed cores for many areas. The core is what the block is cast around. You could almost describe it as a negative, with the finished casting being the positive. I'm no expert in the matter, but I can't see a printed block being anywhere near strong enough for actual use.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@@rogerking7258 You're totally right with that breakdown, hence why I mentioned the rate of progress being so rapid that fully functional 3D printed blocks that can handle the cylinder pressures that are mass produced won't be far away. My mindset is that you could use it to manufacture a monoblock design for ultimate head sealing. 👍

[@Thee_Snow_Wolf]

I think 3d printed engines have already been made before. I think it was called the "polyengine 2" . Edit - it's called the "Polimotor 2". Unfortunately the project seems to be dead. Although another Polimotor successful competed in an American racing series in the 80s I think.

[@nFINITELooP]

Just wow ...

[@MR__JUSTIN]

Super interesting! One of my favorite videos yet. Also makes me wonder why IAG doesn't re-make the Subaru EJ25 engine but with a semi-closed deck and other improvements. They could even use a higher grade material since these engines will be used in high performance settings. They have pumped out literally thousands of modified stock blocks with the deck insert conversion, more than 100 times more units than what this video says is the breaking point. Seems like they would have benefited from going with their own upgraded casting LONG ago

[@Runmeerkat]

8:02 so like a rover k-series?

[@rstone286]

I was waiting for someone to bring this up! All the tensile loads being carried by a material specifically rated for tension, resulting in super-light cylinder blocks that are a comfy one-armed lift...? I have no issue with that. There’s nothing new under the sun. Really interesting top notch video though - all it says to me is the longbolt Rover thing was as advanced as it was claimed. Just a shame it was ruined by poor build quality. I’ve got three engines - the waterways in the heads on two were cast shut on the exhaust side. Only takes 5 minutes to open with a die grinder; I wonder how many heads failed as a result of that one slip up...?

[@peteklassen5338]

Awesome video!

[@pawg206]

That one dislike is the person that couldn’t afford the billet block!

Amazing information !!!!

[@bowenflob8036]

Really interesting

[@gordongraham4307]

"So there are a couple of things that I wanna go back and unpack". That attitude of your's to your videos,, where you catch on to every single thing that the interviewee says and tries to unpack it for us noobs in the simplest of ways is what makes you really stand out from every other KZbinr. It really is difficult to be an expert in your filed and then also know what your viewers may not be aware of.

[@Gimmeboostninja]

Nice vids!

Lol I think it's because it is on an engine stand, you can free spin them fairly easy but of course it won't fall off

[@moonstarproductions9597]

I love the way Brits dont care about saying who they work with.

[@hpa101]

It's better to be proud of who you work with rather than secretive eh! - Taz.

[@Buzdu22]

just think of it as advertising, no point in hiding it as most can't afford to work with those companies. Mountune and a lot of other motorsport companies in the UK do their builds as factory backed efforts and are not as budget constrained as others in the business.
