You Want To Build a BIG POWER Viper V10 Engine ?

[@Slowmo896]

This is so freaking cool, I’m a DVET, about 98% bed bound ,I miss building engines,cars and going fast..being on disability sucks, but paying to support this channel is well worth it..

Money. It takes lots of money.

[@bigdog2024]

How fast do you want to go depends on how much money you got. How you make a small fortune in racing is to start with a large fortune and work your way down.

[@leftyo9589]

no worries, they'll print more!!

[@ironmike742]

Yes sir

[@stevenallen4123]

You ain’t lying. Racing fast is a rich sport

[@freedomfox8183]

You can have all the money in the world that doesn't make you go fast consistently that's why there's people with the biggest budgets imaginable not winning championships every year.. yes it takes a lot of money but that's only the start... That just gets you to the starting line...

[@Fremlin]

I really like the fact that you don’t mind sharing your ideas with others. Most builds will hold something back that they do whether it’s good or bad.

Wicked content and detail. I'm lov'n it.@@ironmike742

[@wobblysauce]

Some people do exactly the same thing, but say they have secret sauce.

[@bigdog2024]

He is giving back by educating the next generation of engine builders with this content and delivery method. It also is Marketing for him. So it is a win win situation. Have you noticed most high end engine builders (not tuners) have grey hair? We’ve lost quite a few long time builders in the last few years. Also notice his employees are young people who love the business and want to learn. Engine building isn’t something you learn in a book at University or Trade School, you got to be hands on.

not even China has this much invested. Steve is it

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

13:00 the only thing keeping the top half of the block from spliting like a piece of firewood is the head. All that loading I'm impressed that it holds itself together.

[@shocka007]

Between the Wader and the Chris Razor Picasso like welding hell.

[@imuayachtcharter7940]

Steve's tutorials..This addiction beats any other!

[@davidjohnson9517]

I’ve been fascinated by builders chasing horsepower since I was a kid. I took another path as a welder and machinist in the automotive industry ( tool and die shops). I appreciate your videos. It lets me travel a path no longer available to me. One shop I worked in had Aline boring machine that was huge. Line bored many diesel blocks there. Again thanks for the videos!

[@ironmike742]

Holy chit man. That's alot of work. If you want to push the limit I guess this is what you have to do. Damn near re-engineering that sucker. I bet you feel a little bit spoiled now because that equipment you have is the chit. Hopefully you know what I mean by that. The repeatability of that equipment is insane. You deserve it sir because you have had a life long journey to get here Mr. Morris. I have been watching your content for a while now and I learn alot from you guys. It's so hard to keep up with new designs and technology. Great job guys.

[@edsmachine93]

Outstanding job Steve. Nice modifications on the Viper Block for sure. Thanks for sharing the process. 👍

[@sammcbride2464]

The craziest part to me is using Permatex ultra black for sleeve inserts. I never knew that was something considered. I am jealous of all the machinery and process. I wish I could do that to my garage.

[@kdcustoms1272]

Play the lotto my man.. with enough cash it's possible 😳🤙

[@MManeval]

Dang Brother, you sir are reinventing the wheel here with common sense, out of the box creativity!!!! I love your content so much! What the OEM engineers could learn from your processes.... just amazing!

[@BWGPEI]

Your humor makes this old dog smile. May you and yours have a healthy and happy year in 2024.

[@KonnorMcCoy]

I really wanna see a crank driven ProCharged Viper V10 with zoomies. I wonder what that would sound like.

[@durwardmedlin810]

I think I missed something, on every other cylinder wouldn't you have to reborn the counterbore to accept these 2 sleeves ?

[@jacksonhowell7242]

That shit would sound insane. Too bad they don't make gear drives for them.

[@coliimusic]

It would be wild, probably have to be a partial tube chassis funnycar but seeing 5 tubes coming from each side spitting flames would be crazy.

[@Slowmo896]

I had one of the very first blown SRT10’s in Houston, and yes procharger..made 810 rwhp..beast , I used to scare the crap out of friends who had bolt on NA,srt10’s that thought their trucks where fast, lol.l

[@tbboardhed2]

This is amazing to watch. From zero material to just super thick and watching the sleeves just slide in. Pressure to watch. So satisfying. I wish I had the money for one of your engines. Hell I would be happy with just a short block. Sheeeesh

[@matthouse8499]

Thank your Steve, pretty cool to see the extent you take to build an almost bullet proof engine for your costumers, may take lots of money but definitely worth the effort and time you put into them 😎👍

[@bOOmbOOmProd]

I am so here for the viper knowledge man. Thanks Steve!

[@jamesparker3822]

Pretty much exactly what I've had done to my 1500hp 5 cylinder audi daza build. Great to see how it was actually done though 👌a true art

[@BilletGarage]

Listen to that TIG torch! More frequency! Chris got you right. Nice work as always!

[@michaelloth5870]

It was really interesting seeing the sleeves getting sealed and installed. Thank you.

[@Metalcrafter]

So the guy that installs the sleeves after shrinking them is just aligning the flats on the flanges by eye? That's a talented and cool individual.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Steve - there's a video showing the sleeve install being done wrong over on the Hagerty channels build of a Straight Eight, where they were hammered in by force, cracking the the cast iron liners. Seeing your team here heat the block and freeze the liners, doing it the right way, and then the sleeves just sliding in to position, is amazingly useful

[@kdcustoms1272]

That's how a lot of people install crank bearings on ATVs and MX bikes. Very simple and works perfectly. They usually drop right in.

[@cpcassone]

We miss Dewey! 🐕 Awesome video! I love watching all the machine work time lapse clips! There is just nothing better than seeing nice clean parts getting perfect, new, shiny, new surfaces being machined! As you like to say Steve, “I love the shiny! Must touch the shiny!”

[@ericwilson2585]

When I got done building my motorcycle I put a really nice shiny silver paint job on it and it got all kinds of attention... But, I didn't put a heel for adhesion on the base coat before the clear and all the clear coat eventually pealed off leaving just a dull grey behind. Then for some reason nobody ever even looked at the bike. So this time around I did er up real good, I put on 3 coats of self-etching primer, 3 coats of simulated chrome, 3 coats of silver glitter, 3 coats of glitter sealer, 27 coats of clear, then put on 3 coats of two part hardener/clear coat. All with a steel wooled heel in between every coat except between the glitter and the glitter sealer, and sealer and the first 5 coats of clear... You aught to see the attention it gets now. Haha It's almost as if I conducted my own experimentation on the general public without them even knowing about it. Lol😂

[@josephkelly4893]

What amazing precision work you guys are doing, really not much left of that block before the sleeves go in. Beautiful to watch

[@z33tanner]

I learn how much i know nothing watching Steves videos. Wicked stuff on these Viper engines.

[@SammyM00782]

I wish my gramps was still around to watch the videos I find today. He raced dirt circle track from sometime in the 50's to 1976, old school motorhead. New Egypt Speedway would be his home track to give some perspective. He would be blown away by the shit we've come up with since then.

[@brianbeilmann2992]

That was interesting. Seeing this block. What a design and seeing you make it better. Thanks

[@gordonburnett9672]

M code to send table to the middle, and you'll find a setting in your cam to center on the part, so the vice comes to the door, rather than the G53 x0.

[@dunbarautomotive]

Nice to see the ultra black as a sleeve sealant, I wondered what you'd use. The Liquid N2 doesn't cause issues with it? I felt the buttpucker moment when the last sleeve didn't play nice, till it just slid in. Priceless. Thanks all!

[@blaqlabspodcast5816]

I've seen some engine builders use jb weld. Heck I've inherited some top secret heads where the ports were sleeved and held in with jb. 😂

[@aaronhall7740]

I would have thought you'd use something like a Loctite anaerobic sealer... The more you know it must not matter too much because of how accurate the machining is..

[@jonf2009]

They make a bonding glue for sleeves, but once used they don't ever come out again.

[@dkjens0705]

On a Porsche 996 and 997.1 Turbo (Mezger) engine with removable sleeves, if you don't remove them when surfacing the cylinder top and you don't have the sleeves stick up a little, you will loose pressure when under boost. A customer came in with that problem and we fixed it with new sleeves.

[@jfrohwitter]

Crank the feed rate up to 250 to 300 ipm on that aluminum 1/2 in endmills and all chamfer tools I run a vf4 at work as well. Love your stuff man. Much love from Missouri

[@txsailor57]

I worked at a defense contractor and we used a mixture of dry ice & alcohol to freeze things like bushings and sleeves. Is it better or cheaper I don't know but it might be another method that would work for some application. I think it might at least be more available than nitrogen in a pinch.

[@ALLGODSDIE]

I can't get enough, watching and learning from you Steve. Love from Nashville

[@travisschulz6342]

Just a lil pro tip on your welding let the post flow run its cycle before you move the torch from your weld .. when you just yank it away as soon as you’re done it takes the gas coverage away from your tungsten while it’s still very hot and will contaminate the tungsten and then give you dirty starts from that point on

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

I'm pretty sure the welding clip you seen inserted here of the jackets being filled, was Chris Razor welding lol... while I know that's the norm, if Chris is doing something different, I'd lean towards him being the expert 😅

[@travisschulz6342]

@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 contaminating your tungsten is a new technique lol 👍🏻 doesn’t matter how long someone’s been welding they’re not impervious to mistakes or bad habits

[@rtb4008]

Hey Steve, to get the sleeves out, take ur welder and run a bead top to bottom inside the bore. I have seen it make em fall out of diesel engines

[@watahyahknow]

those sleeves have some impressive wall thicknes in the top part seen a company put in sleepes in an article in hot rod magazine , cannot remember wat engine but can remember that they basicly cut the original cilinders out of the block by cutting the deck and the crankcase and pulled all the inside structure out of the block still wondering how they kept the cilinderbanks from splitting off the crankcase (probably bolted the heads to the main bearings ) takes a lot of figuring out to get a bigger / stronger wall and still have enough strength left in the block

[@iprfitness]

Very cool Steve. Great work 🇺🇸🫡

[@murraymlonsbaryl8512]

[@drcolster]

Great work, the power of CNC machines.... just my thoughts, welding all first, bore cam tunnel, fit sleeves, then fit main caps, line bore mains, then finish with line honing cam and main tunnel...line honing at the end to ensure all the other processes don't move block around...??/

[@leonardfoster6252]

Looks like you sre doing pretty good for a beginner Steve!

[@timlarson9193]

I was just thinking about hollow alignment dowels for those two wader passages. Would that even work?

[@mudrunner66]

That table is big enough for multiple vices to make multiple main caps at a time. Giving you more time to run another machine.

[@Vibrotronic]

Flawless execution!

[@gregertman6497]

I agree that aluminum main caps are fine. But just to let you know John Force racing blocks have billet steel main caps and they switched to steel on there last run of blocks when they were running ford body’s and all of the blocks since they started running Chevy body’s have been steel. I do believe they are the only Top Fuel team running steel caps.

[@paulcopeland9035]

[@williamstamper442]

Holy duty cycle Batman..! Welding the former holes for water sounded like one of those China welding processes you see on tik tok...one continuous arc with some filler rod thrown in. Thats pretty crazy!

[@kylecurry6841]

[@danmyers9372]

Amazing that with good design you can keep the heads clamped down on a 3000 HP engine with only 4 head studs per cylinder.

[@aaronhall7740]

For sure!! 300 HP per hole is pretty impressive on 4 1/2 inch studs!!!

[@GreeceUranusPutin]

How does the air get out of the block? All OE head gaskets have holes above the bores somewhere to allow air to pass into the heads and out of the engine.

[@cbradley4466]

I'm guessing there is just enough room between the cylinder bores, to allow water flow,and not need steam holes, like a 400 SBC.

[@mojomanrosie]

That is absolutely amazing how much material gets removed from that block..your literally using every last mm of space in the block

[@twanheijkoop6753]

You dont just pick 2, its a triangle and you choose a point somewhere inbetween all 3. Dont have to choose one of the lines midpoints.

[@Arthagnou]

couldn't you fill in that raw aluminum between the bores(Tig Weld some material), to make the holes in the mating walls it less jagged? Would that "jaggedness" be a source of fracture and cracking?
