Sean and Todd teaming up with Metigulous! Gonna be some badass work coming out of this shop.

[@esvs9395]

Bro, you got Sean and William working for ya, so please get more videos out

[@SirVic42]

More of the beauty welds that you do for customers would be great content. And, of course, more Lucy & Jupiter!

[@bcg462]

I agree showing some of the work you do for other customers would be better than not doing anything

[@ChaosAura]

Im a rotary guy at heart, So I always cry a little with swaps like this, but at the same time, I always love seeing a FB go fast. Love the car man, I look forward to seeing how fast you're able to push it.

[@Dan-mu5oy]

i would be less annoyed if he had put a diesel in it!!

[@fopeezy3097]

"What do you guys want to see?" I appreciate any and all fabrication work being shown.

[@Brock_Landers]

Also, I'm pumped to see how the build goes with the aluminum block. I'm willing to bet this RX7 (and I owned an 84 with an 11A), is going to soon run 8s or maybe even 7s!

[@bloke_from_newzealand4562]

12a*

[@WickedPaint]

This car is looking so good and can't wait to see you pull it out next season! Make some welding videos in the meantime!

[@jameswil]

Maybe you could show us any fun welding jobs ya get in or any other customers work of they was cool with it, that would be decent winter content

[@tyler238]

I can’t wait for you to race Kyle lol

[@bambino96015]

Just more consistent videos. The content is always there. You just have to take the time to film and post it! Love the vids as always brother!

[@joshs199]

Thanks for dropping a video. Always love the updates on the 8 rotor. And Kyle hasn't put out a video in a week. And Brent has been cranking out Sho Nuff videos but didn't put one out today. So thankfully you did. 😁👍

[@ceezk24ep3]

Cars looking and sounding amazing bro take your time it will all come together

[@rexxx927]

Just heard the news congratulations Hayden! fabs reunite welcome Shawn and Todd this should be exciting...!

[@sporenerddadada]

Bro I’ve been watching you since for ever!! Alls we want is content you could show us customer builds or what ever. I like the content you produce and will continue watching until KZbin dies or you quit

[@9mmSurpressor]

Title in the notification confused me but then I remembered who’s channel this was

[@Jcarney87]

I know… dude doesn’t post vids ever

[@jeffro38911]

Don't worry Dutch, he's got a plan.

[@mikepelz7004]

Its all about goals man😎. keep going forward!

[@mikeyacullo]

Car looks awesome with those big ass slicks an skinnys up front

[@larsonaaron7372]

Always doing clean work in a clean shop!!

[@imdabeast100]

The Subaru classic. Glad you caught it as early as you did. Man I love watching you guys pfi and boostedbois when I cook

[@802Garage]

Wonder if there's a chance the piston got dropped or knocked against something or maybe if a ring broke the land when it was getting tapped into the bore. Either way, good stuff man!

[@alastairdow-taylor4103]

Stop fucking around chaseing perfection, time to get some time slips banked!!

[@aaronpanietz]

Show your work projects in the off season. I think that would be cool😁

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Meticulous Metigulous pays off in the end! Maybe do a compression test to see if that happened on any other pistons. Hopefully that issue has not replicated in any of the other cylinders.

[@MartinRodriguez-yr4gf]

You do great work. Love your attitude

[@matt.p8060]

Would you drain the water in the cooling system while its parked in the trailer so it doesn't freeze? or does it not get that cold there?

[@emery908]

Adding Shawn is huge. I hope to see more of your channel.

[@Backupnow-gf7wb]

Dude please upload more, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@j.brewer7552]

Your custom jobs are fun to watch, also throw in some fun! For yourself. If you're having fun it comes through on the camera.

[@dalebickham2666]

Killing it Wyatt. Any vids are better than nothing

[@CraaaigV302]

Be careful if you have water in the coolant system I know that you know your whole system will freeze up and that ain't good for the radiators or the motor

[@bobgreene5460]

Thinking the same . !!

[@colemurray7292]

Excited to see this think move next season. I work in the solar industry, but aspire to open my own shop one day. With that being said, as an aspiring fabricator, I’d love to see you do some welding tech/education videos in the off season! I’d love to get some tips and tricks from a skilled welding vet like yourself. Might not be the most exciting for some I guess. But I’m sure the real car guys would appreciate

[@gabrieldorta5050]

I want to see the work you do for customers, It aint got to be a very in depth video, just like, a 2minute build blog here and there

[@Brock_Landers]

Damn Hayden, I can't believe this thing made 990 whp on a piston with cracked ringlands! You definitely lucked out that it didn't warp or score the cylinder wall. I would've figured that you would've had to re-sleeve that engine.

[@chicagovasko]

Another great episode.

[@mrunyan18]

What’s the build in the engine pistons and rods and heads? Love the progress

[@l33b80]

On my first gen, going from cast iron block to aluminum block raised my front end 1 inch on the stock front coil springs. That 100 pound difference is huge!

[@okobojian1860]

First grandpa is fast. 🤣

[@josechavolla9307]

Keep on moving forward and don’t look back

[@rsharney1111]

You unlocked a new secrete. If there was a gnarly vacuum turbine on the block you could blow more air through the thing with the gap. Itll be more like a jet engine with your massive turbo.

[@guidoheeling1179]

If it sits for a long time it is good meassurs to pump up the tires a bit higher so they stay nice and round

[@RaceBrosCarlos]

I’m here for the ideas but idk what you talking about Willis 😅😂🤣

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Just keep on showing your Awesome skills.We'll be here.>98K !

[@AlmightyRem]

Now there isnt as much blow by will it need tuning again?

[@Todd936]

Keep it up Man U r awesome at what u do u will find a way to make KZbin what u want and make a living at it just keep doing it.

[@Caution.beware]

Happy New Year 🎆

[@virginiomaldonado2746]

Customer car builds combined with your car!!

[@danielhigley8543]

You should go to Florida and build cooper's cage in Chip.

[@roberttuckerjr4718]

What pistion and rods are you using? Are they stock pistons and rods or forged?

[@SchofieldBrothersRacing]

So I am building a 62 Falcon with a single turbo LS. I was thinking of going motor plates instead of solid motor mounts. If you go motor plates, how did you match the thickness of the motor plate and move the balancer out to keep the belt aligned? Awesome build and awesome car!!!!

[@allenl9031]

If you are keeping it outside, did you drain the block???

[@makeitorleaveit1]

I think Texas speed needs to sponsor you. You e got a great channel you help so many people and a Texas speed unit in there would be epic

[@8valvestreetsociety012]

Is the ring gap big enough? Ring end run in is what's causing this

[@stevenlayne8744]

Do not forget about treating your fuel before storing it put some stable on it and run it for a few so you don't want to go through and have to clean your injectors and all that crap when you bring it back out

[@Jursaw]

More fab videos with detailed info

[@simond7582]

resurrect Charlie's wago for snow drifts!

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

Hell yeah brother

[@djwilson328]

Just wondering what ha e u guys done with Charlies old civic

[@rohanberry6015]

Show some builds/work etc is always interesting fab work

[@codywilliams2537]

What’s going on with Sean and TwinTurbo Todd?

[@marcmoore8853]

Hi I want to purchase some docol r8 steel can you please advise me where I can order some thanks

[@civicr87109]

Just do u man, keep on doing what u do just record it, lol..

[@OtitRabocse717]

Ayo my boi where you at ? We need more videos

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Is that the iPhone 13 cinema mode? 😯

[@pratt1bp]

Take the battery out & keep it on trickle to be good for summer.

[@asian_makanic1805]

What did you use to notch the pistons for the valve

[@asian_makanic1805]

Wake up

[@bradt9244]

Is there coolant in the RX7? Ik it sounds stupid but racecar

[@LIF0110]

When will you make a video introducing Shawn and Todd and will they do a tell all on why they left

[@bobgreene5460]

Trying for a home in Colorado or Florida, just wondering??

[@mk-jf1ux]

give us a todd and shawn update video

[@legendary_perfomance]

You should take the RX-7 ice racing it would be cool because you would be one of the only people that got to make a pass on ice and the drag strip

[@bnmperformancefab]

Oh yea boi!!! That is nutty man, just means you got more eggs in your basket haha

[@jamesmcivor340]

More regular content coming soon?

[@Thewatson77]

It’s already been said but….just share some of the busy work you’ll be doing 👍🏼👍🏼

[@1clnsdime1]

Let the rings get seated and it shouldn't have hardly any blow by at idle.

[@v4yt126]

100k subs soon

[@ELLeeOh]

Truck tires on the rear and some snow drifting shenanigans

[@n20cpri]

Customer Stuff - Cages, manifolds fab stuff whatever dude post it up!

[@1clnsdime1]

Don't leave the shocks and springs with ratchet straps pulling down on them all winter.

[@paullmight42]

that setup looks so dope...it's almost a shame you have to put a bumper and hood on it lol

[@tonyross7376]

Let's go Haden

[@CBRpaul]

I wanna see your customer projects

[@MKEUnderground]

Please put a good aftermarket dampener on it, also single 90/10s will be fine for the front. You don’t need anything crazy

[@marshallking8820]

Is that a 6.0 engine ?

[@justicenedela8526]

Got that discount tire torque wrench lol

[@AdvancedMechanics]

Shawn's a beast, I can't wait to see what you two create!!

[@mattbauman]

Honda time! Get the CRX back together.

[@CreamAle]

Buddy you focus on your life and improving it. We'll take the vids when they show up, when I admire and respect someone I want the best for them. Don't apologize for that.

[@duraiden]

Kind of a trip to see the drummer for one of my favorite bands randomly in the comments

[@CreamAle]

@@duraiden a human that watches yt during poops just like any other. But cheers bud, liking H&G?

[@duraiden]

@@CreamAle Love it. Been through it a few times and still unfolding new stuff each listen. Can't wait to see you guys on the road again, it's been too long for me (since the Unheavenly Skye tour). P.S. try to sneak Ol'e Nessie into a set please. ;)

[@kevinconaway4409]

Miss your content bro

[@skinnystr8nasty]

Mexico runs. Like the og boostboiz content that brought in all their subscribers.

[@drew53832]

Hayden we miss you lol

[@matthew2730]

U should go attend in sick week

[@murrayrasmussen7360]

When you going to post again

[@mikeyacullo]

Build some cool snow bikes or somthin. Engines. Tires or tracks lol go-karts. Anything that goes

[@joelducsai5400]

Just post whatever ur doing bro. Combine daily work into atleast 1 to 2 vids a week

[@boostedgringo5885]

Man I think you need to just do a quick setup and video while you do customers stuff. You’re almost at 100k subscribers. I think it’ll be worth your time

[@allenl9031]

Shh, it's a cracked "rotor." 😏

[@danielpeck6269]

Your ECU will be fine in the cold, but it worries me that you said you're storing the car in your trailer. Trailers get stolen regularly. Please be careful with where you store it!

[@joop1987]

Put an airtag in the car and trailer to keep an eye on them.

[@ak47adri]

Awesome

[@alerobrahh]

I’m pretty sure you already know this, but I have seen this done in the past completely by accident, put coolant in it while you store it for the off season. Just my .2

[@vinny6_9]

6:14 looks like a cigar lounge in that trunk
