You guy's are the best!

You guys need to come down to Cloud 9 Ranch in Missouri

[@coboscounty8513]

Love it!! Thanks guys!!

Looks like your need go to evolution power sports for some dyno tuning

[@doondood2362]

Wish I had the patience to work like Doug. Can't wait to see that thing rip the strip.

[@anth_b587]

Doug would definitely be a good friend to have, guy is full of knowledge.

[@billcharlene1450]

Used to know a dude like him, intelligent and humble, learned alot from him!

Doug Butterfield dropping knowledge! Everyone needs more Doug in their life...

Oh man, i totally want a Doug t shirt that says: this motors gonna need a hug!

Yes! I'm in for Two

[@moose1164]

Very good point on the head gasket. I've always did the same thing. Torque it, let it seat, loosen it then re-torque it. I learnt it from an amazing old mechanic double my age that's built more motors than I've been alive. Every motor I've rebuilt I've never blew a head gasket whereas before I ran into issues.

[@craigstrom8619]

Doug you definitely have some skills and knowledge. Leo i like the extra you add to the videos. The fun and goofy stuff is a real friendship with eachother. This motors going to rip. Great job as always.

[@mikeylikesit4278]

Loosening and re-tightening your bolts is good it seats the threads and gives them more surface area and better hold. This is also done when installing a barrel nut on a rifle.

[@garyburbank4559]

Very true I have to ask what Buggy is that in your picture

Just when I think I’m pretty good with motors, I watch Doug for an hour and realize I don’t know crap. Lol. Nice work!

[@DavidBowen]

I really appreciate the detail you put in. I love the "silliness" but at times like this I appreciate the attention to detail. Thanks!

[@drmeff]

I wish I had a Doug with me every time I need to do something mechanical... he really inspires confidence. Freakin' smart dude.

[@desmondwright5463]

Awesome getting close to see this thing rip, thanks for the detail.

[@joejon5794]

@ 13:40 HEY, LENARDO, I WORKED in The Machine Shop in the entire S.B. So.Cal. Area. " no names" as a kid.The old timer/Engine Wizard Learned me that head torque technique/Wizard Magic as well as countless others🤯 I was truely fortunate. R I P CURT 👑

[@alexhilton4657]

I just wanted to tell you guys how much I enjoy every video! You guys do a great job with them! Keep up the great work!

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks Alex!

[@nathanpanter4625]

Hey leonardo, the valve lash gets tighter due to heat expansion. To tight and there won’t be any lash, to little and it will tick once the engine reaches operating temperature which usually causes rough starts after it’s been warmed up. Usually just need a little more lash. Also, as the valves wear to the valve seats the distance from valve to rocker arm decreases which is why the lash decreases as the motor wears. Intake lash is less than the exhaust lash due to the increased heat on the exhaust side. Same rules apply to cam in block or over head cam.

[@lindseyangell986]

Even an unexperienced fell can learn when you NEED Doug in your life and when I go to having internals worked on seeing IF Doug has a price for me to let him work on any motorwork as his knowledge and care of the YXZ IS worth the money he needs for his knowledge and Labor! Thank you Doug!

[@traleighnh]

Great video guys.. Cant wait to see it all done

[@AboveandBeyond44]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge Doug!

[@2fast65]

Great video guys the engine build was awesome it will be great to see it tering up the track have a great day be safe.

[@theirishaxe9405]

I'm digging these longer videos Bros 👍 I can just cast from my phone to ask the TV's in my house so while I'm walking around doing stuff I can still catch all this.

[@martialmason4112]

Had read about degree wheels and cam timing for years now. Seeing it done in front of me is astounding. I find the longer videos nice.

[@traviscool2121]

Martial Mason Could not agree more!! Thankfully, I have used a cam timing wheel. As well as a valve timing wheel.. Thank you 90's Sea Doo's. I just love seeing these guys break down the shop time that goes(or, should go) into any built machine.

[@fordmansvt]

Thanks for starting my day off with another great video! Now to take a rip in my SxS, thanks for all the inspiration. Keep up the great work guys. Love the in depth how to videos and all the garage videos, actually just love all the videos lol!

[@LOOKFAST]

Been looking foward to this for awhile. Great job guys! This should be a television show. Love ❤the content.

[@orvsr4me2]

A quality channel is like a good sitcom: a cast of characters who fit their role. You guys nail it. Doug the star and mechanic (I can guess what your day job is) Lenardo is "THE" voice and cinematographer, Nick is the comedian with driving skills and no fear. The fridge stands in for the smoking hot model (although someone has a hot wife - see velocity raptor video). And Doug's dad has good cameos. Keep it up gentlemen.

[@timothynelson1052]

im going to do a gtyr turbo kit in mine next winter. It so awesome to have your videos for reference! You guys are invaluable to me!

[@MartinHaga]

garage videos from you guys are so entertaining! hope to se way more of these! thank you for this fantastic channel. watch every singel one as soon as they come out

[@jayrocha9300]

Doug “betterbuild” is the man might be the ocd in me but I enjoy these in-depth build vids! Also enjoyed “the sixth stage” and “velocity raptor” shorts great stuff!!

[@keofewer7448]

SXS BLOG.......Doug is the man with a plan. Thanks for another great video

[@garyburbank4559]

Doug is smart as Hell reminds me of my Dad my Dad taught me that same trick torque Down to spect back off a little bit and re torque it actually works like Doug said it's a Old School Trick

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Getting so close to seeing the YXZ rip again!

[@barharborbasher249]

Pure brainfood 🙌 I picked up a few tricks 🍻 Thanks Doug I can’t wait to see’er RIPPPP 🔥🔥🔥🏁

[@samiparkkinen801]

What a great feeling: Tomorrow is a day off here in Finland (May 1st) so I don't need get sleeping early, SXSBlog uploads a video and I get to crack open a cold one. Good times! Nice stuff guys, keep it up! Can't wait to see this thing in action dominating the drag strip and the dunes! BeastMode has some nice competition with Project Battlefield, but beware, here comes the Doug YXZ with a frickin' Turbo!

[@cheynebrown2364]

I'm getting excited to see this back in the machine. Going to be fun.

[@theirishaxe9405]

I can't wait to see this thing make a yxz move!

I've watched what feels like almost every video you guys have made in the past year and half - two years and they are all badass. Keep up the good work guys

[@mawint2]

I have a Bernese Mountain Dog. They are the best but can be selective in hearing. Ours is just about 2 now and is pushing 115lbs. We’ll have him at the vet for his checkup this weekend so I’ll find out then. He was 20lbs at 8 weeks when we picked him up.

Cheer up leonardo, haters going to hate! Great video by the way buds

Exciting. Looking forward to seeing that thing rip. Great job and your wealth of knowledge and great video!

[@michaelmessner3169]

Very cool build. I learned something on the head stud torquing. Great stuff. I’m still confused on the cam timing. I’ll leave that to a professional like Doug. Yep yep yep.

[@sammispinks2452]

Hey Doug, I just tweaked the 50cc moped up. Got an extra 10 mph lmao aren't you proud. That's all I have. Send me an old machine here in a couple years. I'm trying to rip the trails. I'm just broke. I wanna be the first fan give away or ride with a fan or something! Come to WV!! Lol plenty of trails and tests

You'll need 100ft lbs if you don't want to push coolant @ 400hp. ARP's usually call for at least 75. Usually with ARP's the nuts strip first.

Maybe Lenardo will have some mechanical sympathy now and properly warm up his rigs. Then again... probably not. Great vid as always guys!

Whew! A lot of work. Glad you know what your doing. I am learning but man I would be afraid I would mess something up and the motor would just scatter! Then you may see a grown man cry! Cool stuff can’t wait to see this thing take down some X3’s and Turbo S’s! #X3killer, #TurboSkiller
