That’s crazy fast. After about a year of working in a machine shop, I could tear down a SBF or SBC in about 20 minutes-granted no customer stripped bolts. Then I moved up to building cylinder heads and block machining after two years of engine tear down and parts washing. I miss working in a machine shop building race motors!

[@dmeemd7787]

I remember doing a timing belt YEARS ago and couldn't find my 14 mm wrench anywhere and I go sh*t, better take the cover back off, I bet it got dropped. I was 17 at the time but I made the prudent decision and literally gave myself face ball, because as soon as I took the cover off, there it was... lol,, that never happened again! It also never happened what I start working on race cars or when I actually worked on Top Fuel years later 😊

[@youknoweverything7643]

Wow he is working on it before it even stops coming to the pit area and while they are backing it in he has it timed perfect qhen it is backed in that is the exact moment he needs his first socket crazzy how fast they are but built to be this fast as well. And if you notice alot of the bolts require no socket just the square end on a extension or impact gun very smart

[@blockhead3654]

Saves so much time when there is no coolant.

[@crossbow3539]

Hi. What are you doing there and why. ? After one drive you change all I drive motorsport. But i dont understand your sport. Sorry for my english.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

They disassemble the engine to remove the pistons and they inspect the main bearings. Part troubleshooting, part maintenance, and part tuning for the next run. What you see in this video specifically is the guy assigned to work on the bank 1 (left side) cylinder head removing the parts needed the remove that head, he installs collars to keep the sleeves in place, then he removed and inspect the lifters for the vavletrain.

[@531671967]

Cool video, but seeing Toyota on a Mopar Hemi value cover is pretty insulting.

[@easygoing2479]

Yeah... back in the 70's they couldn't get away with that, because back then they used actual Chrysler castings and parts. Now, even though the engine architecture is that of a true blue 426 Hemi (but bored and stroked), everything in there is custom or aftermarket, and CNC. If Toyota wants to sponsor it, they can... but at its heart it's Hemi all the way.

[@glyphs3]

@@easygoing2479 Indeed it is a HEMI. Even though the block and heads are cut from billet aluminum, the final product equates to the 426 HEMI design. No other engine could withstand the controlled pressures created within the cylinders.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

If Mopar wants their name there, they can pony up the bucks and R&D like Toyota did. 'Tis a free country, nothing's stopping them.

Why the hell are they still using air tools? Electric is the way to go. As strong or stronger than air, nothing to lube, no hoses to trip over. I don't get it.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

First, they're sponsored. Second, the first time a battery goes dead they're gonna be in the dumpster

[@bobsbillets]

@@GreatLakesLogger I have snap on tools. They are as good as anything else out there. Battery dies put it on the charger and grab another one. I've broken 3/8 bolts with the 3/8 snapon electric impact. The 1/2" can loosen lug nuts on my semi wheels.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

@@bobsbillets that might be, I can do the same with my milwaukee stuff. Nonetheless, they is a level of reliability and a better feel of consistency with pneumatic than electric. Also, like I said previously, they are sponsored by the tool brand they use. It's a big enough sponsorship that they have to use their tools

[@slowpoke96Z28]

Uhhhh, they used electric impacts also, and get the f out if you think current cordless tools can match air. You know better than that yourself.

[@ardenpeters2952]

I get a kick out of “Toyota” on the Hemi engine! If that’s a Toyota engine, I’m the angel Moronic! Or is it Nephi??
