Can recommend a channel called 'Driving 4 answers' apart from Steve's channel, he puts out the most interesting and technical engine videos on KZbin.

Steve, hear me out. The Dewey shirt needs to have "shop supervisor" on it! My wife and I yell that out every time Dewey makes a cameo.

Infinite? I think the word we are looking for is "perpetual" chill mode😁

EJ is surrounded by professionals. She is going to learn very fast.

[@lunkydog]

Good episode and you're a great teacher. EJ is such a likeable person.

Ok by looking at the bore size it's at least a four hundred ci combined with smallish cam high tq numbers , tight 106 lobe sep cam isky known for that more power and torq that way , super nice motor , super good Dyno job

[@cdnaudioguy]

So, the sign of someone who truly wants to learn is someone that acts on information they have been given. Kudos to EJ for holding the linkage while Steve but the bowl on.. without asking. ;-)

[@richardmorton1310]

Just love that you make helping folks a priority. Supper happy to see you help EJ.

[@stevemorrisracing]

I try😁

[@tbusch63]

It was so awesome watching you explain how the A/F Ratio works on the old-school 4BBL 750 dbl pumper carbs. EJ seems really eager to learn and not afraid to try to do something new to her. That right there is exactly, why you should keep teaching her as much as you can, whenever she is around! The information explained so well is hard to come by. Excellent job Steve and EJ!

[@conqueeftador225]

After the carb class that i just went through at MMI i like the way you explain carbs better!

[@DK-421]

Thank you for taking the time of how you mount the motor to the dyno you all use. Always wondered!

[@sidneysnottley6414]

Yep .. Something I've always wondered about... Cheers.👍

[@winstonsmith8441]

Says a lot about your character, given how valuable your time is, that you spent all that time teaching EJ. Well done!

[@AB-80X]

Remember one thing Steve has said many times. You get back as you give, and when you know this, you also have an obligation to pass it on. He's a great engine builder and a fun likeable guy to watch, but what I like the most about watching Steve, is how he acts according to his principles. Many talk a big game of principles and ideals, few honour and live by them.

[@michaelwynne4346]

I sure hope EJ realizes how lucky she is to get taught by the man.

[@kmack747]

Absolutely awesome to see Ej learning something from you she definitely seems to have that willingness to do better

[@Jbomb-ep4jr]

What a sweet human being - she gives me hope for that generation. Never stop learning EJ!!! Steve you are a born teacher. One of the best channels on KZbin!

[@Profabdesigns]

Mr. Morris, I have single handed learned more from your vids than any other channel for tuning and performance subjects. This has also carried over into other areas of my life as well. I also am a follower of Christ and it makes a strong statement in your business model too. Thanks for your faith in our Lord.

[@joshmiller8663]

Great to see you guys teaching E.J. this stuff.

[@KyleTipton.]

EJ is awesome!

[@Ammoniummetavanadate]

Is there some backstory on EJ, I saw her with Sam and everyone seems to just know who she is, lol.

[@KyleTipton.]

@Ammoniummetavanadate She's the one that did all the wraps for Tom Bailey and crew. She was behind the scenes mostly, but she has turned out to be very good at driving and is a fast learner. She is going to make it far, and people like working with her/teaching her. It's just exciting to see a young person start from the beginning and learn. We're going to hopefully see big things from her in the future

[@Ammoniummetavanadate]

At 20:20 the explanation on grabbing the side of the distributor cap and not the top was hilarious 😂😂

[@dannylebarge8863]

It great that you take the time to show and allow EJ to run the dyno and how a carb works. It also helps others learn also

[@danieljames5875]

It's like trying to suck a liquid through a straw that is cracked or or has a hole/access to air in it, the bigger the hole the harder to suck the liquid/less you get. The straw is the jet pulling from the bowl. The Air Bleed is the Crack or Hole/Access To Air before the Boosters/Mouth. Very easy physics experiment. Just how I see it in my simple mind. Very precise control if you have the right Hardware & understanding of it

[@daltonhayhurst8501]

[@d.mcdave8880]

Steve, You are such an excellent Dude! It is very generous of you to teach this young person (and some not so young people) hands on how a Holley should work, and then to set the timing, and then to operate a dyno control board. This is how you raise up excellent adults. Your style and patience should serve as a model for the rest of us. Thank you, Sir.

[@michaelgallopo5879]

Good sounding small block...living the dream

[@JohnShurr]

I stumped a tuner awhile back. My Mast Motorsports SS-LS7 was making 685hp on an engine dyno. I took out the SS cam and put in a Z06 cam and had the tuner de-tune the engine to 600hp. He was stumped because most people ask for more HP, not less. But I couldn't drive the car with the SS cam, it was too aggressive (race profile - wouldn't idle worth shit, and wouldn't make power until 2500rpm, great for pulling the front wheels off the ground - terrible for parades)

[@GregorySmith-o1r]

Steve, thanks for the continuing education! I would like an episode regarding the relationship between Main Journal size, RPM, crankshaft oil passage routing, and oil pressure required to keep the rods journals oiled. For example I calculate that with the 3.25" cross drilled Mains in my Pontiac it would need 108 psi to keep the rods oiled at 8500 rpm. Thanks again!

[@donanything6816]

Interested information..i was not sure how large the engine was ..it made good power ..I remember a long time ago i used a Isky roller cam and i believe i spoke to a fellow named T willy i think . That was a long time ago ..i like solid lift cams because you can or i did change the lash to do see how the engine responds. I perfer the sound of the engine with them also .. The cylinder heads on this engine are pretty decent also from the power it made . Thanks for the videos

I'm still in the build process but can't wait till i hear her. Full roller set up. I love learning from your vids and just watching what you bring us.
