Pete's guitar is headless for reduced bobweight.

I’d like to know what’s about that for real?

[@toddmccarter45]

​@@trophbrwntrouthunterIts just a style thing

[@johlgren]

@@trophbrwntrouthunter used to be called a Travel style head as the case could be smaller and easier to transport but now is mostly for style.

[@f.chrisliuzzo7889]

Even though your polishing 💩 mostly, your still creating something new and usable!!? If we didn’t have people like you there wouldn’t be much excitement in this world!?? You help move a lot of people to build cool shit. Which makes a lot of us mechanical folks crave to see your creations do amazing mechanical work. Get all you can while we are here because we don’t do it any more after we leave. Make it count no matter how twisted the world is.

[@mynameis9057]

Not only high power engines but high power rifles to boot! That headless looks like it has a B.C. Rich body and the sound reminds me of the fuzz White Lion used back in the day and a few other 80s era bands, that takes me back. Add metal, indeed!👍

[@samuelbutcher710]

We can’t ignore the totally awesome bolt rifle set in that sweet MDT chassis ! 🥵

[@kennynelson2269]

The fact that only rock music has come through those speakers and no country has ever.. made this top-tier KZbin content... keep up the awesome work, sir. pete

[@AbbStar1989]

Love that fact!

[@danmyers9372]

100%

[@josephwantz4035]

Screw what everybody says about your intros I actually like them and you are a very smart and intelligent enough person to play all those instruments as well as being a Master mechanic and Machinist

[@bhlom4135]

Don't forget tuner

About 2 months ago, I came across a free extension called SponsorBlock. It allows people to cut out intros, outros, and various other segments in videos. With this extension, you can customize how those sections of the video proceed. You can set it up to auto-skip or prompt you to skip. If you love intros and outros, you can configure it to ignore them and let them play as normal. It’s amazing! If you’re struggling or annoyed with video intros, I highly recommend it. Personally, I have mine set up to skip intros, outros, and something called “filler.” Filler can take many forms; in this particular video’s case, it refers to high-speed montages with music behind them. As a result, a 21-minute video now becomes a 17-minute video. Normally, I would manually skip through these parts, but now I can turn the video on and let it play while I do dishes or something else. So, instead of coming to the comment section to complain about how you want the creator to produce their videos, just get this extension and never be bothered by it again.

[@shaneletwin3541]

Love the introduction music and the all the rock and roll music you play during your very informative and entertaining videos!!! Thank you and please keep it up .

[@wadepreston5298]

Always a good day when the teacher is in!!!

cleetus may be a doctor, but who trained the doctor? the professor, of course!

[@richardv.K]

Where going Mad, to see Petes beautifull craft. On engines that last, going down the quarter mile Fast with in every pass. It feels like your smoking grass, to see your crank, piston and rods rotate in that perfect mass. Its rock and roll when you machine a block and bore. Only making your back sore, but with every engine you score. Grind the pump to see you jump, you aint a no chump. Just a magic man, who can turn engines and say. I Can😂✌️🤟awesome channel, keep up polishing, we keep supporting. Hello From Finland/Helsinki.

[@ThomasHimm-ew5ye]

I just want to say that every time I watch this show every time you polish a turd I learned something

[@rjeff753]

Those speakers have lived a good life. I have some that have the same experience. Never ever seen anything but Rock n’ Roll!

[@Paulster2]

I love machines which provide a dual purpose ... not only does Pete get the o-ring grooves set in the heads, he also gets a workout ... how awesome is that!

[@JMill0420]

That ring cutting tool is badass!

[@jkflorida]

Wish we had this class in High School!

[@kaceenunez5330]

Every time I hear this intro it cracks me up. Love it. Well done sir.

[@hedrives]

Damn LOVE that rising feedback around 0:10 .....

[@benwatkins7600]

Musician, machinist,rifleman,stud,good dude.Thanks man!

[@UpTheCreek496]

Same on my speakers, only Rock and Roll!!! Nice work .....

[@TheMattzx9]

School of rock meets school of engine machinists. Love it, dude. 😂

[@michaelphelps5064]

An artist in every sense of the word. I didnt realize the grooves are cut by hand. Keep the tech videos coming. Im an assembler, not a builder. But there's always hope. Fixing wrecks is my profession. Millimeters and fluid ounces are my parameters. Performance engines are a hobby. I enjoy learning whats going on while looking at things i dont completely understand. You and a few others have helped me with that. I appreciate your work. Musical and mechanical. Not that it matters to me personally but, a better background with a nice guitar, amp and chromed out smallblock would be perfect. Thanks!

[@hiphopanoyomous]

Best intros on the youtubes !

[@josephfalletta9853]

I can tell you're real good at doin stuff because you bring the whole socket strip. I'm ok at doin stuff so I make 3 trips back to the toolbox for the next size socket.

[@MarkTaylor-hv6qt]

Was good to see how you put a receiver Grove in was wondering how it was installed 👍

[@highplains8816]

A rifle in the background that looks like mine and speakers that only play rock and roll no wonder you're good at doing stuff

[@mikemaccracken3112]

Thanks for the video Pete!

[@dannoyes4493]

I always wondered what was inside the Walmart Music Making Machine. Thanks for the info. Well Done.

[@Doogie_Causey]

You're Just A Straight Up Badass Really Good Stuff Doer

[@danbrodahl2153]

Digging the addition of music window in the videos Pete. Please keep it up. Waiting to see your stuff on Spotify! 😂

[@JohnW1711stock]

The Ghents! Great guys.

[@bdubz5150]

Intros are stellar!

[@dgs0011]

Style with substance, way cool 😎

[@lyricbread]

16:10 Somebody likes them a little Knopfler. ❤

[@darrenfrauenfelder5997]

Thanks again Pete for a great video, I've never seen the process of grooving for O-rings. And dude, you need to tell us more about the "boom boom stick" on the bench, that looks to be a nice well set up rig, Oh and keep up the music, I for one love it. cheers from Perth Australia where owning a gun makes you treated like a criminal

[@wretchedexcess1654]

My elbows hurt too just watching you cut those grooves in the head... ...I even winced when you switched hands after trying to do it right handed a couple of times. Danged old bodies betray us all at some point and at every joint.

[@SpeedShack]

Keep it HEAVY 🎸🎷🥁💪

[@chrisobrien9334]

Great episode. Luv the inscreen of you playing. Keep it up 👍

[@64Pete]

Followed all instructions, still feel there may be repercussions. Cheers Pete. ✌ 🇦🇺

[@MrJermbob]

Massive thanks for these vids mate. Love from New Zealand. Masterpieces these videos are i think. The music is top tier.

[@thenameforcorey2261]

hey man your channels fckin awesome it's what car guys really want . thanks brotha

[@dwaynesullivan-qo2iz]

Job well done pete

[@robertpierce1981]

Very cool to watch these processes.

[@billpotmesil]

Awesome motors and music! Two for one!

[@brettnipps7205]

Pete your so outside my wheelhouse I will never really understand exactly what your doing just vaguely comprehend. Dont get me wrong I am a skilled builder of buildings and really good at what I do. I love every video you show and your guitar work and music. Thank you!!!

[@gsturnerjr]

I can think of a failure that I want no part of too! Great stuff! Keep rocking!

[@sleepy_moonchild829]

I would appreciate to know where i could get more of your music. My old lady and I really like listening to your stuff. Thanks for sharing such good stuff.

[@littlemotor414]

Only kind of speakers I’ve ever owned! Best intro(s), best content, and best attitude on YT. BigDyno FTMFW. 🤙🍻

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool stuff!! Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@markmueller5371]

Interesting how the O-ring process works.

[@charlessmalling9903]

Best time lapse music

[@skipper6567]

Pete thanks for some great music and I learned some stuff . 😎😎

[@patrickriddle4130]

Thank you Pete! The lighting is real good now!

[@roughwater3454]

Man. I had no idea you could cut hoops like that. Awesome. Take care long hair.... Mine was longer. But I had to say goodbye to it a long time ago....Keep up the good work....

[@greatdane3343]

Nice tools and work Pete 👍 I'm also interested to see the rings getting made and what material you use.

[@EricWoodring6thplanet]

Disregard my comment in the last video, I thought I saw 301's, you have 201's! No issues with the surrounds in the woofers rotting out in those. Rock on 🤘 Defiantly dig the Polks! NO COUNTRY FTW!!!! LOL

[@realgoodatdoinstuff900]

I'll check and see what they are. I just hooked a much better amp to them and it is amazing how hard these things crank.

[@EricWoodring6thplanet]

@@realgoodatdoinstuff900 they are def 201's, the only thing I see a lot with those is the rear connector +/- tabs break. Don't try to pry the grills off, they are removable, but the tabs that hold them on often break. They do jam for some 6.5" two ways.

[@bishop1805]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffdickerson3]

Just keep doing your thing and hope you are involved in the new cleetus stuff!

[@JestaBl1tz]

Pete love your work and these walk throughs. I think every time you do 1 of these i learn something. Loved the fire ring tool you do manually. Genuinely a dream of mine for you to build me a Decent Ej25 ( Subaru ) for you v8 meaties lol When it comes to engine building and motorsport you guys leave our country behind. Big Aussie Fans Keep doin Shit real GOOD =)

[@MiscRocketVideos]

Cool as usual! I say the ideal intro to video ratio is improved by the montage music (with picture in picture video!!!). Please release a Polishing Turds album. . . One thing I saw was the man handling of the head when putting in the grooves. Wondering if its worth the effort to make a clamp/jig so you can just cut the groove instead of cutting the groove and holding the head at the same time. Hernias suck. . . Keep it up, you kick ass.

[@microracer24]

Never get tired of your intros

[@dtw322]

Awesome video. Just amazing music and great racing stuff! Thank you!

[@justinwebster7761]

What kinda hardware you got hanging out on that table there looks like a great burgular deterrent

[@AirFlight23Jumpman]

Pete reminds me of the HULK, lab rat puttin horse torques together in his shop were they belong. At the track he turns into a beast with his opponent killer computer.. keep up the awesome work Pete. Hope Cleeter lets you super tune the 69’ I like call it the HoonEagle.. RIP Dale & Ken..

[@ValiRossi]

Ever try Anchor Lube on those drilling operations?

[@BenjySparky]

Pete,you rock! Love polishing turds. Peace

[@roadrunner4404]

Thanks

[@Bill-flatplanefool]

🤘 thanks Pete !

[@bassettraceengines]

Thanks for sharing

[@Zipbass]

The intro makes me laugh it’s ace

[@Durwood1492]

I absolutely love the knowledge I obtain from your channel.

[@Lobo-tommy10]

There's old Auburn at a museum by my house that has mercury filled bobs. Sorta neat

[@fopeezy3097]

Howdy. About the damage to Leroy's LS... You mentioned before, you might put aluminum rods in it. Just hypothetically, since that engine failure seems to have come down to a fueling issue... if it would have had beefier rods, would it have caused more damage to the engine? I.e., the last engine looks like the rods just bent and gave way.

[@wizzkidelectronics]

damage would have been no different . but that engine is pushed past limits of most rods and aluminum rods are more forgiving to detonation . there comes a point when you need to use parts that can open up your tuning window . i cannot speak for pete but he had reservations and i do as well leroy is in a spot where steel rods can hold up but aluminum rods although you have a life cycle to deal with is a better choice cause they offer a cushion for oopsies in your tuning window .... lets face it cleat is always looking to go faster even when he shouldn't given the combo on hand

[@vehdynam]

Great information ! Many thanks for sharing.

[@Ranch-kvb]

Just amazing !!!!rock on 🤘🤘🤘

[@90tazscooter62]

great video's love the music keep it going

[@3800TURBO]

I always wondered how you know where exactly to bolt the counter weights, in what direction on the journal.

[@davidgough1161]

Peter, your the best on all accounts!

[@mikebarran7789]

Love these vids! Will the next one be short block assembly along with a demonstration on chugging the low e in drop c tuning? Lol

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@Jvcomet]

Love these videos 😀

[@brandongreene3213]

We're polishing turds!!! I sing this while working on locks/door hardware.

[@recoilrob324]

Those pistons being full skirted 'should' help prevent the rods bending...right? The lightweight slipper types don't have much lateral support and are what comes out of every bent rod motor I've ever seen. I know the full skirt has a little more weight and drag....but if the rods don't bend it seems like a good trade-off to me.

[@Smokey72013]

Nice job make the channel how you want it. We are still watching

[@markwarner6007]

I wonder if piston rings could help the muzzle brake on the background

[@manuelurrutia3228]

Can we buy the music?

[@Freester86]

I definitely just listened to this while I slept and woke up and wrote a whole Lenny Kravitz hook for whatever that musical selection was at the end. lol I wish I could play guitar like Slash or Jimi make that joint sing.

[@gailyoung9911]

Do you think its worth it to calculate the weight of the engine oil that will be on the bottom side of the piston and in the oil control rings. Is that few grams really important.

[@cobalt0681]

2 questions, #1. What is the lightest Chevy rotating assembly for N/A that you have built? #2. do you over balance crankshafts for higher RPM use?

[@stevemuller82muller65]

Great work Pete🧐👌😎do you have a music channel? How can I find your tunes? I really like the guitar solos on the time lapses. Much love from Pennsylvania 🥳😎🤙🇺🇲

[@BenBurke1983]

You ever fool with any nitrous stuff? Be cool if ya did. Love the videos. Very informative and the music is on point. 🤘👍🎸🎷🥁

[@AndyL940]

Great job , thanks for sharing your stuff with us 👍

[@jodysmith3662]

Can you talk about percentage of balance or over balance, what and why..

[@patrickmanz2422]

Do you shoot PRS or some other form of competition? Nice rig in the background

[@micheldelsem7022]

Really love your music and videos! Question? What is the balancing software you're using?

[@brown7002]

What caliber is the rig on table?? Have ya messed around with gunsmithing yet?

[@scottlagasse3182]

You Fukn’ Rock!!

[@manic_tinkerer]

Hi Pete, you can put whatever intro style you want with this great info and thanks for sharing your expertise. I've tinkered with 4 cylinder bike engines for my self built dragbike (KZ/Z1 based) and built my own crank assembly rig from a milling machine table to true up my crank after assembling it with different rods etc (its a built up crank because the motor uses roller bearings) which looks a lot like your balancer setup minus the sensor and drive joint end, but I was really impressed with your crank balancer setup built onto the bridgeport. Is that homemade & would you be willing to share any more info about it? I'm not in the business just a tinkerer experimenting with my own stuff & completely lack this capability and I just turn a blind eye to balance & expect the engine to only last a few meetings. I live in France so its hard to find capable shops to get specialist stuff done because it lacks the car/bike culture of the US so I do everything myself. Which has its own pro's and cons.

[@manic_tinkerer]

Ok, I just did my legwork, it looks like a Turner commercial unit, $5k at current prices. Budget and insanity means I'll have to find a way to diy instead but good to know theyre out there.

[@redpillpirate111]

Quick question....Have you decided on having a Holley tuning class? Dates? Or am i just missing it on your website?...Thanks. Great info and better music!

[@terrilapp4370]

See a NightForce sticker,my fav!

[@TheSteve1175]

You are making it hard to say whether I'm coming here for the music or the builds. 😮😊

[@orionfpv613]

That's a serious rifle on the table there.

[@radioactivefabrication]

Do you have to weldup and re cut cylinderhead orings everytime you pull them out? Example if you're sending the heads out to get port work and they are already oringed?
