Oh man, this makes me nostalgic for old school roadkill episodes that came on KZbin for FREE. Oh man do I miss my regular Roadkill fix

[@StLMikie]

Evidently the new ones aren’t that great anyway. I’m seeing that you’d be best off just watching Finnagans garage.

[@ReklawJT]

Haven't seen an episode of Roadkill in years now because well..... I can't

[@TheKnown98]

I don’t think your missing much I watched a few episodes since they made you pay and they weren’t as good. I think they kind of lost interest in it. I feel like Finnigans has been spending more time on his personal KZbin channel which I recommend

[@steelbluesleepR]

You certainly can. Just say you're broke.

[@_tim]

@@TheKnown98 It was ok for a bit but with the distance that Fin movedI think it started getting too difficult to get back over to Cali and then keep coming up with "new" stuff. Which is a shame because the old eps of just buying something and nursing it with roadside fixes and tricks was awesome on its own. After a while it felt a bit forced and more work than fun.

[@ThatOneCanadianKid]

@@steelbluesleepR And you’re subscribed? 🧢

[@steelbluesleepR]

@@ThatOneCanadianKid nope, but I'm also not bitching about it.

[@TheHokemon]

You displayed valor in the attempt, and this is what will be remembered by history. Well done. And rock on.

[@stoffer717]

Loosing audience? Maybe make the show available for the whole world again!

[@snapped4433]

I love how there talking about how it just kicked one when it kicked 3+ 😂😂

[@dopeymark]

I miss these Roadkill episodes. I also miss the 1970s. My uncle had one of those jet boats back in the day with the coolest gas pedal. It was made out of metal in the shape of a bare right foot.

[@agreyf]

Wow , free , the only way I will ever watch this great show.

[@braddorris4535]

As much as I love the show and how deeply I miss watching it…. This isn’t enough to get me to pay for the ability to watch it…. I can’t bring myself to indulge the greed of corporate network tv.

[@ViperSRTnACR]

Really cool to see a new episode of Road... err "Boat Kill" make a comeback! As for what happened, my first educated guess would be running too lean and too much boost with the stock compression ratio.

[@emilianocruz11]

We need the full episode of boatkill 2 return with the muscle truck here on KZbin pleaseeee

[@kingrutse3278]

If your gonna use copper silicone for a gasket u gotta coat both sides let them sit till tacky depending on temperature then tighten them down it won’t blow lol.. I had no money when I was younger lol I perfected it on several turbo cars lol usually sand both surfaces a little it’s all in the prep lol

[@Ultionis733]

Why Roadkill stopped being free? I loved the show on KZbin!

[@landyn4272]

remember when they did this same thing to the same boat

[@schwags1969]

6 years old??? Really.

[@jpeg3933]

The music they use is so nostalgic to the good old days of roadkill

[@badgerbait8351]

Interesting. Currently building a 6.0 with turbo. Nothing real sinister. While talking to a certain rotating assembly manufacturer about internals he continued to re-emphasis "H-beam rods"! Got it!

[@tommymartin4827]

That jet boat hitting triple digits..I doubt it 😳...be lucky to see 85

[@tscarcass]

i would suggest watching Finnagans garage :) its still free

[@joaquinbudken4860]

Best episode in a while

[@edjackson4389]

But it's an LS?! According to the internet it's impossible to blow one up!

[@bryantincher9406]

Clearly, something was way off in the tune up.

[@batmanlives6456]

Yeah right … it’s roadkill we’re talkin about …..

[@joecampbell7171]

Why is motor trend reposting this

[@cwb4280]

Love this show!! Keep it up.

AWESOME EPISODE!!!

[@hedgepethracing9590]

We're the rings gapped ? Who cares right... good content -

[@squareenixffost]

This is a very old video. Just reuploaded.

[@HeadFlowInc]

What? The mighty Duo aren’t familiar with the 1999-2000 +.400” extended crankshaft register LS engines? Say it isn’t so!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@peterbampton2574]

Amazing episode gentlemen 🚹

[@batmanlives6456]

LS3 into the boat Add huge turbos … What could go wrong? The pistons have left the building…

[@BBCharger5spd]

Hyper pistons and powdered rods... add boost... watch for debris

[@thegreeneyej]

Hahah, what can go wrong? 2 big turbos, 10psi, same compression ratio, surprise, not.

[@ryanmcdonald6421]

Who doesn’t love pre-det

[@bryantincher9406]

People do it all the time. Something was obviously not right

[@robertbeirne9813]

Cooling system ???

[@cameronjuzda7246]

Wow that was a great 15min then it was over

[@autopilotg7049]

rerun???

[@latauricewalker]

Yes

[@Mywhtjp]

I had a '72 Biesemyer. Bought it for $2500. 460 big block with a .30 over cam.. Berkeley jet, seated 8, would barely get to 50mph. It did throw a nice roost though.

[@jedfiekel9809]

Them .30 over cams are bad mfkrs. Lol

[@AntiPattern328]

Easy Peasy as always!!! You always make it work though!!! Get the JB Weld out. You can still make a solid hit I'm sure of it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dinorl]

Jeans? LOL no life vest, no helmet, no worries. LOL

[@Sally-nd5pc]

Hi, how can i contact you about the sponsorship?

[@Mywhtjp]

Too bad you didn't have a camera facing the motor when it blew up.

[@rksanders13]

So how did you solve the drive shaft problem? Is this turning into an boat show now?

[@peterschimke9075]

Bring mtod back to Australia.

[@johnnycarpenter1744]

? Was the first lake Elsinore

[@robtdougherty]

yes

[@sangeetbhullar349]

Already see this, u Re upload this episode

[@alan11121959]

...you know this can't end well when you have to add fluid to the engine hoist...

[@dgc940]

Wow that tow seadoo is old like a 93-94 with a 96 hood

[@jmyd83]

how much boost ?

[@robtdougherty]

they said 10 lbs.....maybe not lol

[@robertphillips3078]

Looks like an old Rodge'rs 2 Me . He designed Gr8 Jet Boats

[@homedad3324]

MANDELBAUM MANDELBAUM MANDELBAUM!!!

[@evapeters9840]

why does anyone NOT RING GAP THE ENGINES when they are turbocharged!

[@codywalker8565]

I stopped watching when motor trend made it paid

[@emilianocruz11]

Yesssss

[@peepbeepmemecreep7283]

the title claims “twin turbo ls engine in a boat”, but i’m gonna be entirely honest, where’s a turbo?

[@the_bencredible]

Maybe watch the entire video. It’s the highlights of two episodes. 36 and 121. Episode 121 is where it gets twin turbos and then spits rods out.

[@daviddavid5880]

Oh, you say you need to tune your LS? (Holds out palm meaningfully. Counts your stack of bills) Oh you're retuning for turbos? Ahem! (Holds out palm meaningfully. Counts money) Tuning for a different application you say? (Holds out palm meaningfully) I know it seems egregious (counts bills), but trust me, tapping on this keyboard (stuffs stack of cash into a bulging pocket) is really much harder than it looks. Remember, Chevy is a name you can trust. Come back any time.

[@alvysoto7087]

Drag and drive with boats

[@danielcalle6822]

MORE boost!!!

[@nathanswain2754]

Can’t get in uk anymore

[@quevicular]

Cumpletely kunjed that motor

[@colepicks1710]

We want full new episodes

[@charlienewbery4157]

id say the jet drive coupling might have upset the engines Harmonics = RUD

[@michaelmeyers1827]

That’s to bad for you two

[@widthdrools3861]

Ain't this an old video?

[@chaosholiday2525]

Hi

[@SoDogtravels]

Was always told to not use a car engine in a boat as the tolerance on the bearings are looser in the boat?

[@mr.know_it_all]

As an engine builder of 90s SCARAB boats with mercruiser 454 big block chevys. I found no difference. Even a stock pressure/volume oil pump and just a Crane hydraulic flat tappet cam.

[@dhooter]

If refueling on the water were illegal bunkering wouldn't exist and marinas would sell fuel. Just sayin

[@85ZERO17]

RE-RUN

[@brandonchestnut3998]

But truck engine compared to marine gm engine different cam pistons oil pan an hardware is all stainless so this thing will get very rusty an won't run quite right unfortunately

[@lukeemms2036]

Just edited out all the good parts of the video

[@lutomson3496]

watched a blown picklefork boat with 2 guys on 4th of july get on it and it stood on its prop and twisted and sunk both dead drowned..not a fan of back yard drag racing

[@Trinity_Window_Products]

Thise definitely ain't twin turbos

[@robtdougherty]

did you watch the whole video?

[@wickedeagans]

Ya keep letting muscle truck set... please let me get it

[@scootosan]

Waterkill

[@JUNKYARDGTO]

literally pulls motor out of truck and breaks every law on the water 🤣 videos on my channel

[@alexmikhael5061]

ARE THOSE EXHAUSES OFF THE WIFEIYEEZ 6seater JETBOAT (or however many 4 6 10 wuever) OR is DAVE gettin a new set of ZOOMIES he gets to cut off and put out the hood on the way home??? LOL

[@knightfix]

the muscle truck was never twin turbo

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Old episodes. Same garbage from motor trend
