Very interesting to see the different business models for each top tier engine provider. And it seems both companies have plenty of work.

Wild that they don't have cnc machines everything is hand done that blows my mind Also the amount of spare parts versus current engine builds just shows how fast they pump stuff out

Cool seeing Steve’s eyes light up when told spark plugs leak. What m sure the manufacturers never anticipated the heat and pressures that are being applied these days.

[@mccanlessdesign]

I have a video on my Instagram - daughter's mini-van was shooting combustion gasses (actual fire!) out between the porcelain and the metal housing - never would have believed it. She unplugged that plug wire, and limped it home - a four-dollar fix!

[@RHBTurbochargers]

It's true, how else would you see carbon deep down on the insulator

[@zrtdave]

Although business is built around secrecy, it’s nice to have these guys share a bit of their world and have some common ground. As Steve said, we’re not enemies… they both have their shit together and running their own businesses successfully!!! Hats off to you guys and the Awesome stuff we get to see kickin butt on the track! Thanks for sharing!

[@georgelaramore6529]

we use autolite in ump mods. (6-650 hp. 9200) chip porcelin get loose. 4-5 times on diff. cyls. did not seem to affect anything. plug and cyl and piston during leakdown and bore scope . Ill bet steve has seen it happen too.

[@54raceman]

@@georgelaramore6529we had one in a mod I can’t remember if it was the ump mod or sport mod motor because that car had been both at one point or another but it blew the porcelain clean out of the plug and just left the threaded metal portion of the plug in the hole

These Fuel Tech guys have a very impressive shop. Shows they strive for the best. Great way to spread the word by letting Steve post this video.

[@jasonstormoen]

Fuel Tech has a channel and they dyno all kinds of cars and post it.

[@cnknguyen]

Seeing the light bulb pop on in Steve's brain when he saw the leak down tester for the plugs lol. Mint.

[@danielhacker1841]

The spark plug tester at pro line is a suprisingly a really good idea. Compression leaks can cause an engine to go lean , I had'nt thought about a spark plug causing those kind of problem's.

[@kentech514]

Proline has a good-looking shop but I think Steve's place edges them out. I didn't see any signs of a Dewey equivalent in the clip.

[@harleylake1143]

Never thought about factory bad plugs that much but makes sense especially with all the boost nowadays. You need to get a tester Steve and make a video testing them, that would be cool!!

[@mikehunt3222]

I do a lot of snowmobile and outboard engines and I’ve had it happen 5 or 6 times where I’ve gotten a bad plug right out of the package, especially Champion plugs and once I had a bad NGK.

[@jj-hf8jy]

@@mikehunt3222 NGK plugs made in Japan seem to last longer than French made plugs

[@8180634]

Regarding 23:20 there are tons of fake spark plugs these days, really good looking fakes, I wonder if that's what's happening with the failures you guys are seeing?

[@rickrack78]

We had a spark plug tester in 1974 at my HS auto shop class. It only used Shop air pressure, but we could find leaking plugs and check spark at 120psi.

[@paulezay3599]

Proline Is top of the line race engines steve Morrison race engines are down grade and have no competition for proline engines proline for the win no doubt

[@jasonscaff7536]

My money would be spent with Steve. Proline seems to be good at assembling and shipping parts. No CNC's, send "everything" out for repairs, the shop looks out of date. When it's kept in house like Steve's, the quality control is second to none. He makes sure that every process is followed to his standards. Innovate not imitate.

[@johnreaume2221]

I was going to say the same thing and saw your post. Yes, SM engines would be my choice

[@BlownSkillet]

Doug is a fantastic machinist. Met him in the early 90’s, when he was with Barnett Performance, and he use to do some outlaw racing, back then. I haven’t talked to him in years, but it’s good to see he’s still in it.

[@billybarrow426]

[@monty8996]

Spark plug testers are standard equipment at any (AMO) aircraft maintenance organization involved with piston engines. Usually clean and check the plugs every 50 to 100 hours of operation. The copper seals get replaced or annealed every time a plug is installed.

[@vehdynam]

That was excellent ! Very ,very informative and a reveal into some problems of today's world. Those plug testers remind me of the old Champion spark plug testers found in every corner service station . ( same principle). Many thanks.

[@danmyers9372]

Wow, really surprised that Proline doesn’t do any in house CNC machining.

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Would love some insight on the tune calls that the cranks crack in fewer passes! Do the cars run much faster than the safer ones? How much more aggressive is way fatter a/f and a lot higher timing?

[@ajspak874]

these videos are really kind of cool and informative. so cool to see how everybody just gets along and sees each other's work and appreciates it. that spark plug tester is really cool.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Now _that_ , is cool.... making your custom ECU, and updating the ones already out there, to control inverters and electric motors.... and I'm _NOT_ an EV guy ...but the possibilities they just opened up with doing that are ridiculously vast, and I'm actually surprised Steve didn't pick up on some of the possibilities instantly when he mentioned it. Using an electric motor in a hybrid manner, along with something like the SMX, or even Steve being Steve could literally engineer and develop a new block and engine all together that could embed an electrical motor within it... similar to what actual automobile manufacturers are/have been doing, but now on a legitimate performance focused way. Imagine Steve no longer complaining about his 60ft anymore because along with his "SMX-EV" trying to come off the line at X amount of boost, instead of having to wait to build more boost, _while_ everything is already happening like normal... the embedded electrical motor is already propelling the vehicle at it's full torque rating... Or you know, you could build that damn Trailblazer SS and make it AWD again, putting dual electrical motors on the front wheels and that 1K+ HP mid-mounted turbo LS powers the rear axle.

[@chrisobrien9334]

That’s where it’s at. High end stuff. Truly amazing to be able to see proline and Fueltech together. Thanks to everyone.

I remember my shop teacher said he knew a engine guy who could read rod bearings, he said that the guy could tell if there was too much timing in an engine by where the wear marks are on the bearings. Pretty cool stuff.

[@54raceman]

Yep if the timing is far enough off it’ll wear the upper bearing more and in extreme cases it’ll actually smash it thinner
