Anodize dude is solid. As a process engineer I have Been thru hundreds of plating shops and not too many people can articulate the process/ science very well. Clean shop to.

[@davidb6576]

Yeah, I noted how clean it was too. Nice to see...

[@markbrown6236]

That tour was great.

[@wobblysauce]

Knows his stuff

[@AB-80X]

Indeed. That said, it is important to stress that it does not mean that others can't do a good job. It is just a case of technicians vs. engineers sometimes. Techs that are daily hands on can be insanely skilled, but not always interested in the science behind what they do. Now you might be able to answer me this, because I have some parts I've been toying with the idea of hard anodizing. Can hard ano still be done in colour?

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Did you notice no vent hoods over those tanks?

[@MrBPC76]

When your camshaft is the size of a crankshaft, you might have a big engine

[@AB-80X]

Or a really small engine lol.

[@kipbrandel4545]

Honestly one of the best channels on KZbin. Love the real honesty and enthusiasm in the videos! Keep it up!

[@j.sarnak1391]

Steve, your videos get better and more interesting everyday. Thanks so much for sharing all the tech stuff. Not many others are willing to do what you do

[@Boneyard1]

I came for the giant billet block, and stayed for the anodizing. Awesome episode, thanks Guys 👍

[@jeffthomson1777]

Cool to see the differences explained between different anodizing processes

[@RichardStevens-n9c]

Steve found the anode section super interesting. Love the videos. I worked in a galvanizing factory before and I used to run the Costic and acid tanks, chemistry is super amazing and interesting. What’s super cool is even though there’s sulfuric acid in the tank, it’s diluted in water. That’s where the 02 comes from. The electrolysis and chemical reaction with the current and acid actually splits apart the h20 molecules, another cool byproduct is pure hydrogen gas gets made, hence the vapors. It’s hydrogen. Super cool!

[@AB-80X]

Not sure I quite understand you. I come from a background as a chemist, not a tech. I would have guessed that the concentration of the acid had to do with the current density in relation to a given voltage. Thus increasing the film dissolution and porosity of the surface. H2SO4 is in a strong oxidizer and H2SO4 will have no problem creating a surface of Al2O3-. Is the case then that the water will slow the reaction and therefore make the formation of Al2O3- more controllable? I'm an organic chemist so don't know that much about this stuff, just curious. Sometimes the stronger the acid, the easier the acid can form an oxide layer on various metals. An example of this is fuming Nitric acid and copper. 98% Nitric acid will form an instant oxide layer on copper, where the more common 60-67% solutions will instantly react with it and dissolve it. Would love to learn more about this process if you can fill me in a bit. Thanks 🙂

[@bigdog2024]

Sulfuric Acid is H2SO4, the water which must be distilled and chemical free dilutes the acid which changes the reaction rate and time. The current controls the rate of depositing of the Aluminum Oxide so that will determine how long it needs to be in the tank. The thing that blows my mind is the dyeing.

[@TomGrooms2802]

I really enjoy the shop tours. It's nice to see behind the curtain and learn about these processes. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@frankiejenkins51]

The difference in size compared to the bbc gasket and cam shaft is insane. That motor is a monster.

[@henzig8774]

Very cool stuff. That guy clearly knows his trade in detail and it's always cool to see someone passionate about their job.

[@andrewgorniak6173]

That was interesting. I didn't know how that was done, and I love learning how stuff is done and, as always, can't wait for the next great video

[@marko5766]

Thank you for the anodizing shop tour! Very different from boiling gun parts with RIT dye on my stove!

[@mtech1961]

It's good to see people still taking pride in their work, Like the anodizing dude.

[@Justin_lucas_]

Nice video Steve! Very nice to see all the various processes that take place when anodizing.

[@compustat]

Excellent explanation of anodizing. I learned about it is school but never saw the process live. Thanks Steve.

[@zulumagoo1]

Going to bed smiling along with Steve Morris, feeling blessed to have access to things like the biggest V-8 i have ever seen, and excitement about a SM B.O.C.

[@metalted6128]

Absolutely love how much I learn from SME!! It’s fascinating the details you share!! Thank you SME

[@awdIXmr]

Thank you for being so open and excited to share all of the behinds the scenes and tricks with us.

[@bigdog2024]

That anodizing tour was fascinating! That dude can talk about that for days, he knows his stuff. Eager to see what it looks like when done. Is anodizing the cylinder walls going to change the ring package? Assuming all clearances you go a thou under or over if going to be hard anodized which adds a thou. Proper Planning is important.

[@TrentStar-jr7oq]

Few things in recent days have peaked my interest, like the idea of Steve building a burnout car for a cleetus event, and the sincerely puzzlement of what it will be! Get it Steve!!!!

[@seanp777]

Love seeing all the different processes that you show. 👍🏼

[@bigblockjess617]

Learning about how thats done was absolutely amazing. Thank you steve

[@mwqs1]

What a monster!! Thanks for the anodizing shop tour!!!

[@vehdynam]

Great information about anodizing ! I really like the look of anodized parts , very cool. Good to look inside a Sonny's Hemi as well. Looking forward to Clark;s story , I always wondered.

[@fireballxl5328]

Great to see the anodizing process !!

That was an awesome walkthrough at the annodizing place - very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@goblenator9688]

I love listening to people who are true masters talk about their craft

[@kentech514]

This channel is so interesting compared to most things on KZbin, I dunno how you don’t have millions of subs. I really feel like part of your shop watching these videos, quite a feat you have pulled off here. You really have a talent for being on camera Steve..

[@Hacob_R]

I love that I got to go along on this field trip, thanks for bringing me Steve!

[@Johnnyvette383]

Steve that trip to the hard coating business was super cool to see and learn about. I never knew how parts got anodized.

[@cozfpv591]

Steve, your channel is just like adult Mr Rogers for car guys and that is why I really love it. We get motivational speeches, actually useful information, a fun cast of co-stars and visitors and awesome inside looks at how things are made or done. Also, it would be sick to see what one of your engines could do in a promod chassis. Something super lightweight and not meant for drag n drives.

[@darrengeorge2308]

Thanks for the amazing content I’m a mechanic here in Australia and would have to say you explain an engine and how it works better then most teachers at tech. Keep it coming thanks again👍🇦🇺

[@Ricks408]

He relates things better I find. Another talent entirely if you ask me

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Side trips to service providers are interesting and informative. Aluminum anodizing is cool. Titanium electrical anodizing offers a wider variety of colors.

[@johnnickerson6522]

The opening says you might learn something from watching the video. Well, that is certainly true of this video in spades! I really enjoyed this one. Any time I can be entertained and learn something new at the same time is a win - win. Thank you Steve!

[@smithchuck3963]

I know absolutely nothing about engine building but it’s super interesting. Thanks Steve

[@mudrunner66]

As a machinist for a medical company we have lots of parts hard anodized. I never fully understood the process, until now, thanks!!

[@james94582]

Look forward to seeing the finished product on the anodizing.. Never knew exactly what it did, so that was cool to see.. Look forward to seeing the burnout ride as well... Don't doubt it'll be a beast!!

[@robertveeneman9229]

Love it. We use Premiere Finishing at my shop, both hard anodize for aluminum, and black oxide for steel.

[@--_DJ_--]

Thanks for taking us along on the tour. I had no idea anodizing was just controlled corrosion. Very cool.

[@davidb6576]

The "corrosion" is the caustic bath, which is mostly for getting mill scale (rough oxide and contaminants from manufacture of the metal) from aluminum parts, the purpose-generated oxide layer of the hard anodize isn't really considered corrosion in this context.

[@--_DJ_--]

@@davidb6576 Aluminum oxide forming is what naturally happens to exposed aluminum, so I don't see how calling it controlled corrosion is a problem in this context. It is no different than "purpose-generated oxide layer" other than it is less intelligent sounding.

[@davidb6576]

@@--_DJ_-- You got that right. It's less intelligent to describe it your way, but you do you...

Sonny's stuff is top shelf... He will be missed by many. I worked in Lynchburg, years ago. Went to his shop many times to purchase things and services.

[@frekithewolf]

@SteveMorrisEngines Hey Steve, aluminum oxide chemically is al2o3, and it happens naturally as corundum, and the gem quality corundum is sapphire. sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the mohs scale and the only thing harder naturally is diamonds. so in a way, you are covering the engine with sapphire. how cool is that!

[@CaptainNero]

Really neat process. I learned something today I didn't know previously, thank you.

Super interesting Steve, thanks for bringing us along!!!

[@jacobcopeland1922]

I like and share your videos more than anyone else I have ever followed on KZbin I love how you share all your knowledge with us you should be charging for the education...lol I'm 36 years old and been wrenching since I could hold a wrench and have had the opportunity to learn from some very intelligent mechanics, machinists, and engineers over the years and I watch every one of your videos at least once if it's a technical one with alot of information I will watch it a few times to absorb every bit of info you give out I love the Steve tech videos very much and recommend every mechanic and engine builder I know to watch that series especially. Thanks for everything you contribute to the automotive community. This content and information will be watched and shared for decades long after we are gone, If I taught automotive classes watching many of your videos would be part of my curriculum.

[@logannewman4532]

That caustic tank is a fine example of why you don't use purple degreaser on aluminum parts if you care about how they look.

[@Ammoniummetavanadate]

Good tip

[@darylmorse]

That was really interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us. Looking forward to seeing this build. I think your SMX / SML engines would be great for go-fast boats, such as Donzis. It would be really interesting to see your engines up against Mercury 1350 / 1550.

[@MJPilote]

Anodizing my own small parts, more current and cooling is the key to get hard anodizing. Keeping the electrolyte as cold as possible helps alot.

[@Bigmanlittleboatcatfishing]

Love learning something new thank you for showing us how it’s done.

[@Freyr77]

The anodizing bit was very interesting, always learning stuff watching your videos

[@robertsorrells3686]

Awesome! Always fun to watch Steve’s content. I enjoyed the anodizing tech.

[@jim5148]

Anodizing (like chrome plating) is a high amperage, but low voltage process, so the shock hazard is reduced.

[@biggierat6246]

Thanks, that shop tour was great.

[@Rusty.1776]

Hey Steve, thanks for showing us a rundown on the anodizing process. You and your channel are dominating on KZbin! Can't wait to see what kind of mad scientist creation y'all come up with for a burnout rig! ❤️🤍💙

[@MEPS003]

Well if my math is correct and they are using a 4.950 piston to get to 887ci that means they are throwing a 5.750in stroke!!! Crazy! Steve, what is the deck height on that bad unit? It's gonna have diesel-like torque for sure! Thanks for sharing this, I will be interested to watch the build progress for sure.

[@danmyers9372]

What’s amazing is that they will still spin that long stroke monster up to 8000 rpm!

[@AB-80X]

@@danmyers9372 Seeing what it will be used for, I doubt in this case it will go much past 6k. Especially seeing that it will be going into a marine application. Yes it can make 1500+ hp n/a at 8k, but remember that Steve does things slightly different seeing that this will be boosted and its usage. It will need a super aggressive cam to spin that fast, and even for a 70mm cam, I'd say reliability might start to become an issue. That is one massive valve train to move. The bottom end will be fine, it's the top end that will be the tricky part.

I learned that anodizing doesn't conduct electricity the hard (expensive) way. lol

Even worse than not conducting current, bet the bolt threads do very temporarily. It works, then it doesn't. I checked the grounds (loosen/tighten bolt) and it worked 3 times. Dead again...WTF?

Thank you for the hard anodizing lesson, very cool. Can we call it a Sonny's V8? I see little BBC in that engine other than its a V8, a short skirt block and the lifter bores appear to be at BBC angles. The heads look pretty cool and you should offer a set of this type for your SMX. The heads have a Hemi port and valve layout, but the chamber is a wedge. Perhaps the best of both worlds depending on engine use, boosted or not?

Aluminium oxide is the ceramic used in most sandpaper. Also fun fact, like iron, almost all aluminium in nature comes in the form of oxide, but while you can heat iron oxide to 1500°C in a coal fire and it will turn into iron, aluminium needs so much more energy you have to use electricity to get rid of the oxide. This is why no living organism uses it and we have had aluminium for only 180 years and iron for >3000.
