I love Alan...wish him the best. Guy always has the absolute best attitude

[@cmsracing]

He reminds me of the character in the movie MIB that was standing next to the dog! 😄

[@Davespackey]

Steve is super intelligent with his vision for SME.. just being a supplier of blocks heads etc.. and letting other build the engines and maintain them is absolutely the right way to go

[@goatthemad]

Steve, i hope you're proud of Kyle, you have an awesome family. He seems to have the passion like you. I promise I'm not a creeper just wanted to throw Kyle some appreciation(you too) keep it up guys!

[@jeremyking5684]

Hope Allen has a speedy recovery 🙏

[@kerzwhile]

Such an awesome community!! Great people! Vengeance for Tom!! Now!!❤

[@donaldcreg5110]

Great to see you back Clark

[@Ole_CornPop]

That twin charged Camaro is loud as hail. 😂

[@ajspak874]

Thanks for bringing us along. Thanks transparency on everybody's vehicle. Gotta love the drag & drive community.

[@COYOTE_N8]

Loved the last vid. Bummer about Tom's trx and Durango. Thank you for the continued content and transparency! Some people will never understand that mechanical things break especially at this level.(Especially if its a fueling issue,clogged injector etc)

[@scottsmith5623]

Been there done that it’s ROUGH! Built motors for National GNCC and mx… you can build the best motor in the world, but once it goes out that shop door, it’s out of your hands… I’ve saw it all, incorrect jetting, oil filters in backwards, loose, dirty and un-oiled air filters, pump gas…. We’re either a hero or a zero.

[@clover0688]

I legit busted out laughing "I'm so embarrassed"... wife thought I was going crazy

[@robinwendt5527]

@clover0688 that was hilarious and he should be embarrassed

[@NickEllett]

The attitude you have towards this whole racing game is awesome. There's enough out there for everyone to get the engine that's right for them to go fast regardless of whether you're wrenching it or not. That's what breeds innovation.. by creating a quality, tried, tested product that is a huge name in the field.

[@LanmanFTW]

This is probably the best video I've seen on Steve's channel.... you get the schooling, AND more recess! to watch some killer drag racing!

[@Frank-u6d]

That big block hemi comment got me. Thanks for the chuckle.

[@intentsmodz]

My guess is Pro Line put a different cam in that engine & it's what broke. I heard the back 4 cylinders had no valve train movement as if the cam broke.

[@stick004]

Agreed. I bet it was a non-tool steel Proline cam that broke and he took it right back to them…

[@13699111]

Excellent coverage thank you team Steve. I have respect for the people that dropped when things were just not right. Like Clay Millican says well that's drag racing.

[@BIBSTERSrepairshop]

Great video thanks for bringing us along and showing us the behind the scenes look at what it takes to compete at these events

[@jonnamonna1305]

I really love Clark's haircut.. 😆👍

Poor Tom getting his butt beat with some scums of the earth stealing 2 of his cars out of his driveway. The guy can't get no luck at all.

[@Ole_CornPop]

It's really not worth the risk owning a new Dodge, especially the performance versions if they aren't kept in garages. They are just to damn easy to be stolen, sucks but it is what it is.

[@shroom9033]

Clark should have negotiated the builder's warranty when the builder strong-armed him into turning it up😂😂😂😂

[@NorthWay_no]

Alan is one cool cat.

[@AntiPattern328]

Hmmm... I don't know anything but it looks like an injector got plugged or maybe the ECU told that hole to run the street injector?? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe 7 cylinders were hooked up to Slayer in Spotify and 1 got Barry Manilow! 😂😂

[@davidjiron]

Best wishes, to all What,s up with JOE Berry and his 1956 Chevy ?

[@kgsxr7s085]

Flow test injectors on clark car would be nice to see results

[@ClarkRosenstengel]

We did that Sunday and check out great .

[@droberts573]

I guess a cracked ring wouldn't do that to a piston ? That's a lot of power being pumped though that monster. Lol

[@mikemyers3515]

I have known several guys who have struggled with that letting off the throttle while releasing the trans brake button. It will become natural for him.

[@undertheinfluencegarage4361]

Let's be honest, Dragweek is the Mecca when it comes to drag & drives. Sickweek is a nice close second though.

[@cmsracing]

My guess is injector related problems for the damaged piston. Maby a slightly loose connection that only happens at high rpm (vibration related).

[@bobqzzi]

Great video as usual Love the look inside the engines. Tough to make 4500HP+ then drive down the road. Just amazing at what's been achieved so far. Drag and drive areas for improvement (imo): 1. Have aerodynamic consultant design the ducting on the front of the cars to improve cooling. Some look okay, but others are way less than optimum. 2. Better fuel injection systems. You don't need F1 stuff, but given the investment in these engines, stuff from Lemans cars would be appropriate. Bosch, Life Racing, Motec.. 3. Better fuel injectors 4.Don't run closed loop during actual runs 5. Pneumatic valvetrain I know this is a heavy lift, but given the cubic yards of money spent on getting billet blocks and heads made, it is certainly feasible. Would cut way down on wear and tear. 6. Some sort of alternative transmission. Building one to hold down that much HP then tow a trailer is a tall task and it is amazing the Turbo 400s work at all. Maybe a Lenco with a lock up torque converter.

[@PaulLorenzini-ny2yw]

Dude wins the race, nothing broke!!!!

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

9:24 good thing for that _instant_ twin screw (wait, quad-screw lol) charger torque.... I've never seen a car rip off the line _off idle_ like that 😅 🤣

[@Soshstar999]

I love the twin blower setup, that would look nice on a SMX but but keep the twin turbos to keep the twin blowers from getting lonely at the top of the SMX block and call it the SMXX

[@ronseth1225]

Itll be interesting if some one run a twin charger setup on a smx.that be different since most guys only run twin turbo setups on his engine

[@mikefinsterbush2591]

I wish I had 60k to get your starter engines. Kick ass man keep up the good work

[@jariviitanen2542]

Thank you Steve for sharing aal the info, i'm a fan💪💪

[@salvatorehest5516]

so basically, you just wanted to ensure everyone knew Proline put that engine together and therefor liability is on them even thou they are smart dudes :) i agree just selling blocks etc would take away many headaches for sure

[@bubbleheadjack7581]

@20:10 the best bumper music on the web starts; nice touch, Steve. Nice one.

[@frankhaislip5472]

Glad to see Steve in a better mood now that the wagon is running fast"

[@richwood8650]

Let's do this!

[@thedukeofspeed]

yep

[@lancemenke2728]

that Monty looks snarrly like it!

[@michaelloth5870]

Steve, I hope you can get more info on the SMX Viper failure. You mentioned a broken cam. I am wondering how a tool steel cam breaks??? As far a revolutions of the engine per 1/4 mile pass, the number is rather low. Lets say your engine spins 8600 RPM's for a full pass, of 7.0 seconds. (7/60) X 8600 = 1004 Revolutions for that pass, under load. Note each cylinder only fired the spark plug half of that or 502 times. Note to Allen, get well and leave the generator on the trailer next time, or ask for help from the spectators!!! Clark, we love you, good luck!!!

[@davidkeesling6209]

Why did Clark's car go BANG and roll 2 feet at Indy? I asked him about 30 minutes later and he didn't know what broke.

[@proud2befknamerican466]

6.90s in Alan's car is insane sayn alot buddy 💪💯, all the cars , at that caliber them numbers and all that driving it's hard is definitely not easy so congratulations to everyone & thanks Steve...! 🙏 Keep up everything you guys do 💯👍😊......!

[@charleshenshaw9099]

It's under fueled. Check your injector. Clark is a Beast

[@NJDEVILz86]

Clark reminds me of a young Mr Smithers

[@leftyo9589]

talk of Tom's chassis. that car is used up, and the entire chassis needs to be replaced. as great as that car is, its a rolling death trap at this point. ive got to question the math on clark's engine "thousands and thousands of revolutions". id bet from the time he lets go of the trans brake to clicking it off in the traps, is right about 1000 revolutions.

[@mrvwbob156]

Great job Kyle

[@79tazman]

Could of been an injector issue not working like it should and it goes lean. What was the EGT temp on that cylinder?

[@TravisAndrew1]

Looks to me like a fueling issue and clarks piston got torched

[@Boneyard1]

Clark seems a lot more comfortable on camera these days. Should have him on the channel more.

[@ericbeeman8717]

Clark the look on his face he's like stfu Steve so I can tell people lmao hahah

[@starfleetau]

Great explinations Steve and you'd think people would understand that this is racing and things break, its being driven to the limit if people can't understand that then yeah. Thanks for the videos as always Steve hate that you feel like you have to explain that parts break or even the whole 'oh but x isn't going to Steve direct' it's like people want drama for the sake of drama when there is no drama.

[@davidmhale521]

Clark had one job. Show up and win the event.

[@jeremyking5684]

I say clark has a bad injector! Hope you let us know what happened to neds engine.

[@miztatone918]

Thanks for the video

[@glenbrannon7224]

Hell yeah SMF !

[@amd6570]

Damn still hurting 😔

[@tsimpson007]

As always thanks for all you teach and tell. Both the good and the bad. I always enjoy your videos.

[@Bodie2020]

That’s what happens when an injector tip breaks in a diesel. I have pulled more than one apart that has had that happen.

[@chandlerfrazier]

I have literally no personal experience with something like what happened to Clark. But from years of watching people torch junk, my guess is an injector failed given its only one piston. Or a coil pack lost its absolute mind, but my guess is it got lean and turned into a blow torch in that cylinder.

[@jamesshirley5875]

My vote is on the injector!

[@boredom.victim]

mileage multiplied by gas prices equals hellnaw 😂

[@brianr8581]

Love the video! Yall ROCK!

[@AB-80X]

[@strokermaverick]

Alex Taylor, is so talented!

[@stephen_crumley]

I think having a very well off, racing fanatic father is the biggest advantage of the talent pool

[@strokermaverick]

​@@stephen_crumleyDon't, get wrong. I, really like Steve and Kyle Morris. But, isn't it the same? When, you sit in a several thousand horsepower car, isn't it more about talent, than how much money, your daddy has? Money, can't buy talent. You, can be taught the basics, but talent gets you to where you are.

[@timskiff9422]

Talented but annoying

[@ZagatoZee]

Would it not make "better business sense" for Vals Camaro to be built with an SML in it, rather than an SMX? At least from the branding / marketing side of things.

[@charleshenshaw9099]

Great video

[@anamerican1054]

Was the last pass you showed when the piston got a hole in it? I would think it would smoke like crazy with a hole in it. The problem is an injector?

[@travisboatwright5466]

Hi Clark

[@Smokey72013]

Looks like detonation torch to me. It's a thin spot there so it will always happen there

[@Drones_and_more]

Was there any head damage on that single cylinder that got harmed? Did you or do you flow test the injector, see if it was clean and good spread.

[@adambutrym4534]

Steve! Why do you feel the need to defend yourself over part failures? Notice how everyone running a proline engine use a push cart to get to the line? You build/make long lasting, proven, reliable engines that allow people to enjoy their cars to the fullest. You do you, and continue being the best at what you do. The constant defending yourself and your work is off putting. Instead of “for off road use only,” Steve morris engine are “for ON road use only!”

[@chrisdunaway2562]

Tom needs to build a new car. Sick 2.0 has more than paid for itself.

[@alexpetro240sx]

WaZz up

[@turbhoeheflin1168]

I’d say injector myself. Because I’ve done it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@1mikewalsh]

Alan most likely herniated a disc or 2. I did and have the same problems.

[@dallaswiens126]

Nitrous fixes everything

[@barneyrb1]

8,000 rpm/7.25 seconds is 1103 revolutions per pass and 1103/2 for a 4 stroke engine is 552 firings per cylinder per pass. Is this correct?

[@davidg3944]

Add the burnout and other prep, maybe double the revs.

[@metalted6128]

Nope!!

[@supercharged6771]

I would love a SML❤❤❤

[@billmadison2032]

I think perhaps an injector had a problem that's why you have a bad hole

[@mr.k6136]

Honest question would a bad injector cause that one piston to burn up?

[@wekiwu]

Speaking of Proline, I sure would like to see your SMX hit 5400hp! PLEASE?! 😊 I know you can do it!

[@dr.bubblemeltsalot1228]

Buy one and you squeeze it on the Dino it’s a complete waste of money on his part first, it cost him one of his SMX then it’s really rough on the Dino!wtf?

[@stephen_crumley]

The total HP means nothing, a snot colored small block ford completely annihilated everything for the last couple years and it was like 2,500-2,800. 5400 is pointless when you can’t put 3K down consistently

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Am I the only one sad Steve didn't build an SMX-V10 for that Viper? 😅 Just the same BBC based SMX, with 2 more cylinders... I know he can easily do it, he should've demanded his customer "stop being a cheapskate and just fork over the funds to engineer, blueprint, CNC and let me build the damn V10" 😅🤣😆😋. (Just kidding....or am I? 😉)

Brother I know you're super smart. Would a piston with golf ball dimples help or hurt? I've seen promising results but not from a racers point of view. Just wondering if it's a viable

Not really viable
