You are an amazing guy Steve, just remember, dont kill yourself to make sure everyone else is good. You deserve some time for yourself as well.

As an engine builder for 35 plus years of Diesel engines, I have always been a huge fan of the Detroit Diesel International compound #2 aka peanut butter Glad to see you using it as well!

[@crazylarryjr]

The way you had to twist and pull that inner spring around the retainer piece, the inner spring saved him a major rebuild The mains look brand new, very impressive

Still the only channel I support financially,granted it’s not much in the big picture,but being a DVET ,on disability and bed bound, it says a lot about how much I enjoy watching his channel, he seems to have a great personality & really knows his stuff, as a ex tech I miss wrenching the smell of race fuel,& the bits of rubber all over your shirts, this channel helps to give me a break from the Monday of being bedridden..keep up the great work !

[@stevemorrisracing]

Thanks, take care.

I have never seen a guy so happy after blowing the top off his intake and destroying a carbon fiber front end like Ned

[@Berm_Blaster]

Some say they're surprised that these engines can make so much power but it's the street driving that breaks stuff. It makes sense to me. The long sustained run time while driving is hard on things whereas a race the engine may run for 3 minutes max from start to finish. 5 hours straight run time is incredible and the fact that there wasn't more severe damage is a true testament to how well your engines are built and designed. Your the man Steve!

[@mattsiev1]

LOVE this channel. Thank you for showing so much behind the scenes content. Couldn't ask for anything more so thank you for recording, editing, posting, all of it. Impressively educational content so again, thank you.

[@travispeoples]

Don't forget to update us on the oil analysis, please! Thanks Steve, always enjoy your videos and your passion for taking care of your products and customers.

[@freedomfox8183]

Steve ..just a thought but I'm pretty sure his springs in the viper are breaking because that engines been sitting for 3 ish years well everything was being built wonder if they were under tension the whole time.. you saw what some slight corrosion can do in Bailey's engine when he didn't take care of it

[@KCMedia33]

This is my favorite channel by a mile. Thanks for giving us an inside look at these amazing machines.

[@Kraken270Jetsprint]

Well done loved tear down music.. lucky Ned.

[@jameslo3]

Ned is running an MM transmission like Cleetus…both have an issue with the thrust? Interesting.

[@ProblemChild-xk7ix]

Good thinking.

[@strykerentllc]

Showed up for the Dewey content and was NOT disappointed. The engine stuff is always good too but Dewey takes center stage. 😃

[@danielquilesjr.3461]

I know right. Between Steve’s channel and CEE Australia for their dog “Homeless”. Great channels and amazing information just like Steve.

Finally some good time lapse music . Thanks very much

[@thehamiltonadventure6486]

I learn so much here. Thanks!

[@markfullerton7174]

Steve, I love your videos and your engines!! You are a brilliant man. Please hire an editing team for your videos. This is not meant with any disrespect. As an example- we watched you do the math on neds 2000rpm for 5 hours =300 000 times the exhaust valve opened. Then just a few seconds later in the video you are bringing it up again. I understand that the 2 parts may have been hours or even days apart for you, but an editing person or team would keep the video flowing smoothly and make sure all parts have music. Again, I love and am always learning things from you. Thank you!

[@kevinsteeno3726]

I really like the way you explained the math.

[@karlosmuschek]

Love your builds and in depth videos mate 👌

[@brianclapp3259]

The way you teach without teaching and have an ingrained attention to detail, no matter how small, is what makes me keep coming back to watch you work. I've never watched one of these video's and not learned at least 1 or 3 things

I remember from another video you did about how many pounds of pressure is on the exhaust valve when it opens so thats really amazing it didn't tear up the engine.

[@lokedog916]

I love watching you work sir, your an absolute legend and your engines are absolutely amazing, I love the amount of detail you put in to make sure these engines are as tough and powerful as can be. I love it! Keep up the good work

[@larryjohnson7591]

Wow, you put that together fast. It is amazing there wasn't more damage to the cylinder considering all we saw him do in the videos of the competition and as fast as that car was running. Good Job Steve.

[@joevaagen6170]

Steve, dude i LOVE watching your channel. I'm no engineer or engine builder or even rebuilt my own engine but watching your channel has shown me things i enjoy watching like anything mechanical. Keep on keeping on brother. I drive a 95 F250 4x4 with the 5.8l Windsor and would like to get a little more hps out of it. I've got a set of factory heads that I've ported and have a set of gt40 heads that i also ported along with the original lower intake that I also ported and port matched. Im a little scared to install because afraid of fucking something up. I don't have money to replace the engine if need be and don't know what to do.

[@136092195]

As always very nice work Sir

[@jdlandolt5706]

I am wondering what the oil analysis turned up for this engine and what changes might have been made for the front roller Torrington thrust bearing that showed a heating issue? I know you said that the oil had a distinct smell and that oiling issues cause wear in an engine.

[@Fabrice1970]

Great video as always

[@dextermacnutt]

I’m no mechanic by far! Rebuild my 2 strokes! I’ve learned so much from your videos! Thank you very much

"I have now Idea how it stayed in there and ran like that" It's because you built a STOUT powerplant Steve!😂😂 Love all the content!

[@timothymilam732]

Eric's shop is less than two miles from my home, and he's heck of a nice young man. He's worked on my old F250 7.3 several times. Glad to see he's gotten back in the car, because I thought he was taking indefinite break from racing here while back. But I don't keep up with the racing style he does, too much TV drama for my taste.. Not saying them boys don't run hard, just that it's too commercialized for me. Mr. Steve, the way you bend over backwards for your customers, is exactly why your customers come back every time they need something bigger and badder, because you stand behind your work regardless. Plus you tare it down to see what failed, so that you can improve anything that shows to be a weakness in your design, are anyone else's honestly from what I've always seen. So your work is proof of how much it matters that you supply your customers the very best your abilities, and I believe that you even update their engines once you develop improvements.

That's one Sick engine right there👍

[@gordonstarship]

I really liked the music choice @ 33:00 to 35+ That was an experience...

[@bobolson1903]

The exhaust gas pressure / flow will help to close the valve with the inner spring keeping the valve stay closed during compression and power stroke. Sort of like the desmo valve system in some older Ducatti bike engines, and some old GP engines to eliminate valve float.

[@NoblePineapples]

Absolutely the most perfect way for it to break. That is crazy. The street usage for that amount of time is astounding.

[@dragula3773]

Steve, it occurred to me watching your video, that with the distributor hole in the front canted to the side like a Chrysler, you should design a set of billet Hemi water heads for your SMX block... Would be so cool

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

👍 thanks for the video

[@skeetamacgyver1821]

Hi Steve, awesome video. I can’t believe how open you are to sharing your experience with us. I was wondering if you found the issue with the Torrington thrust bearing overheating? Was it a lubrication issue? Is that bearing fed oil through the crank or a squirter or do you rely on splash? Ps what was the big announcement?

[@MotorSwapDan]

Steve it is also testament ot just how strong and well built your Engines really are the Fun facts is a show stoper to know that 16000 times per it goes up n down just full on right there and drove some 100 odd miles give or take as we are not sure on the drive when it let go even so what an engine package Cheers

Awesome engines

[@RB205AIKIMAN]

Love the videos especially the super technical videos especially on cutting valve seats and cutting fire ring groves in the block and head assemblies. Question can your seal a head to a block using a conical seal not unlike a poppet valve seat per cylinder?

[@michaelanthony8638]

Hey Steve Im a Ford guy but like your content just want to say if the valve spring broke on exhaust valve side I think there would be a different out come (ie) intake chases the piston down the bore. Cheers Northern Mike

[@chriscote3701]

Steve!! I love all your vids! You da man! The big nasty boosted stuff is just mind blowing, thanks for sharing your world like you do!! I had a thing pop into my head about dropping valves. Could a small o ring, or piece of latex tubing be placed on the valve stem to prevent the drop?

[@1bigfatslob]

did you manage to discover the rollerbearing heat issue? that one really had me confused, where did it heat up from? Great video once again Steve!

[@Jimmyb918]

Very cool it scares me everytime I listen to your intro and you say caution you might learn something my brain can't comprehend everything that I have learned watching your videos I'm not a computer stop before you blow my mind up lol now let's get down to business the reason why the valve never dropped down in the piston is because Ned has such positive attitude he's like the coolest get er done he goes with the flow

[@jeffreylynch3203]

So, being in the business for over 50 years I have to sympathize when it comes to bad parts, but just a few years ago I was building a big block for a customer. Having built so many engines complacency or attention to detail almost cost me a bunch. While assembling the heads everything was going just fine when something caught my eye. On one valve the distance between the keepers looked excessive. I looked at the other valves and some were what I would consider normal, some had a bit of space, and this one had a bunch. So I began looking at each situation and found that the bubble packs of locks were mixed; 5/16ths and 11/32nds. I had to stop and have a cup of coffee. That really could have been catastrophic. Parts have been an issue for all of us, but something like that could slip by so easily. And in the event that the engine does grenade, a good guy like you needs to evaluate the situation to a conclusion and do the right thing, not go on the defensive. Some of us still care. Good job.

[@gsturnerjr]

Would a lower tension spring work for the 2-3000 rpm drive between tracks? Would it allow the rest of the valvetrain to live a longer life? Keep doing what your doing! Great information, content and attitude!
