LSXcalade Returns: Late Model Engines Tears Down The 427 & Explains EVERYTHING (LSX Engine Tech!)

[@conradcrawford1384]

You're becoming quite the interviewer. Asking great questions and getting awesome answers.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man. I’d be asking these questions even if the camera was off. I’m always trying to learn and apply knowledge from others further down the line to fuel my own journey

Great interview with LME owner. Nice job. Definitely one of your best videos.

[@gr4eme1975]

Great to see the care and attention taken in the disassembly

That guy knows his shit!

[@Vamperian]

Learning about embedability was what stuck out for me. Got me looking on their site for a short block.

[@ohighogrown]

Hearing the knowledge this man was putting out was entertainment enough! I don’t build, race or even own a fast car but I throughly enjoy watching and learning. Knowledge is power!

[@bennyhelgeson401]

Kudos to Mr. Neelen for allowing us to peek into his world. He has great story and his passion shows. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.

[@jesserojas2576]

I’m getting more and more excited to see this alive again!

[@Stapleton42]

Dude me too!

[@captnjoe40]

Absolutely loved the personal interview. Hearing the owners story was great. You do great interviews, keep them coming. Plus learning some tricks and seeing the engine tear down was a great counterpoise. Quality vid.

[@Stapleton42]

Thanks man

[@janhugo]

Agree! More of this stuff!

[@topper8742]

Liked learning the history of LME and how it started. Im a history nerd, so i thought that part was really cool.

[@Stapleton42]

Hell yeah. I’m a success nerd so I like hearing other peoples stories and seeing what I can learn&apply to my own life

[@snyder8025]

That teardown a testament to matching parts that compliment each other. That block had normal wear like it was stock maybe a bit better for as much power as it's pushing. Awsome job

[@Duramaxjon]

I spent the day at a local engine shop that builds the engines in almost every pulling truck and a lot of the drag racing cars in my area. I also spent the day at a shop that builds pulling tractors. There’s so much knowledge that you can soak in from places like this. If you ever have a chance to go check out an engine building shop, definitely make time to go there

[@janhugo]

MORE of this stuff!!! Please? This is GOLDEN!!! And the stories the owners could tell, MORE of this too!!!

We have a full tour with Bryan coming up as the next video!

I really appreciate your intention to keep it real in your videos. Would be awesome to see you surprise your employees in a good or tricky way when the time is right. Remember Candy Man's face expression when he saw the design of the Shirt you made for him? Absolutely priceless! Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to future videos especially of the interactions at the peoples track :) Greetings from Germany!

So many awesome mini segments of golden info. The bearing material talk, quench info, main cap info, piston height info, rod and main bearing differences and what to watch for, coatings, oil pickup theory, surface finish info, and oil flow control through the block. I would hope the owner was happy how all the info came across.

You know if you watch they charge more and if you help it costs 2X. I'm a gunsmith you drop it off and I fix it (not while you wait) Kudo's to LME for giving you full access. There is nothing more un-nerving than someone watching you work and asking questions while you are doing it. Thanks to Bryan for being so Gracious.

[@TheDadAbides4130]

Ive been here since the Cooper appreciation video, when the blue beast went down that sucked, im super stoked to see it coming back to life now. uncle Rob and hood track madness is fun, but seeing the escalade back will be the bread and butter of all of this i feel
