We need to leave for DragWeek RIGHT NOW !! Why Is This Engine Here !

[@The_Kman]

EVERYONE needs at least one friend like Steve Morris!👍👍👍

[@wheressteve]

Not many people are that lucky, unfortunately.

[@haywagon93]

I'm always appreciative of my friends who help out in my last minute shit, couldn't imagine having someone like Steve Morris to be there.

[@yommish]

be that friend!

[@Jerry-ss3ms]

Deep deep pockets will get you one

[@brianbeilmann2992]

That’s something. He’s a true professional. Vibe is he will never let somebody down. And he is going to be in the car drive. Dude didn’t sleep

[@johnbuckley2182]

What is amazing Steve was under the gun to get the engine done and still filmed excellent content. Dedication beyond compare.

[@crkproductions5000]

Being an engine builder, racer, and friend is a tough job.

[@Hoaxer51]

Long hours, for sure!

[@johnfischer2034]

Especially when that “friend” is Tom Bailey 😂

[@rickybailey7123]

That's got to be huge I wouldn't won't that stress nope !!

[@13699111]

Let the adventure of drag week begin whatever happens it's never boring . Couldn't be a better group of people coming together for a wildnights road trip. Thank you teams Morris and Bailey for posting all the great videos on your KZbin channels.

[@MikeFallen13]

Look at it this way, having both Tom and Cleetus as customers pretty much guarantees you'll always have content to post on the channel 😂😂😂

[@edmahonejr.9364]

Ain’t that the truth

[@Hoax711]

Guaranteed! Both of those men are incredible drivers but don’t hold back on the throttle at all.

[@droppinghertz9922]

📢 TALK About JOB SECURITY..... & 2 of 🇺🇲 Most LeadFooT Drivers lol My Apologies i Meant to say highly Respectful young Gentlemen when behind the Wheel....😂

[@Cronus_1]

Tom is trying to manufacture his own engine.

[@Jet2416-Reloading]

LOL! You got that right brother. 👍

[@cgeary4homes]

That was an amazing Herculean effort! I’m very impressed! Good luck at drag week, you deserve it!

[@MechanicalMafioso]

You’re and absolutely insane man Steve for doing this! Huge respect!!!

[@rprice7670]

Good luck guys. Steve is the man again. Nothing like having good friends to help when in need. You guys rock for sure an never quit. Be safe

[@jackfuhs9998]

You are one heck of a nice guy to drop everything and do that for him at the last minute great job as always 👍

Dang! How cool is this! Man, my 10 year old son and I feel like we are part of the race team! Thank you Steve and Tom for letting us come along for the ride. So important for the next generation to be apart of something real and cool!!! We love you guys so much!!! Thank you!!!

[@SlipFitGarage]

Great job, Steve! I was really looking forward to following along this week with you and Tom but when I heard that engine knock after his last burnout on Friday night, I fugured it was over for drag week this year. But as usual, your pulled a miracle out of your hat! Awesome!

[@dekeburns801]

What a good man! I mean the level of commitment to your brand and your friends is incredible, I wish you nothing but 6's this week brother. God bless and hammer down!!!

[@bobbyborba6460]

After seeing Tom’s video I thought it’s going to be a crazy week for you two.

[@bobroberts2371]

In the TB vid, Ayden said something during post failure inspection about being able to feel a gap between the cap and rod but he had 2x checked torque before the engine was run. I'm voting for the cap not fully seating on the register as in rather than lightly tightening each rod bolt evenly to seat the cap, one bolt was run down with a zip gun and this jammed the register holding the cap up a bit. Once a bur was created, there was enough torque. After the motor ran a bit, the cap moved around, bolt on the jammed side backed out a bit and the other rod bolt bent.

[@KYBugMan]

Tell him to grab a mop you’re way too nice of a guy brother Friends like you you just don’t have that many in your lifetime I really hope people appreciate that get that thing done get on down to the races man

[@ryanhale8013]

Just remember that there are some of us that would sell a kidney to do half the racing you do...love the channel steve

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

Steve's composure while clearly frustrated with a situation is pure class act. If we all could keep ourselves together this way lol, business would be much more rewarding.

[@b.c4066]

😂 he gets paid to build engines, and usually charges more for rush jobs.

[@speedycat128]

Good job helping your dad out on a Saturday I'm sure you apricate the help Steve what a great son

[@TokyoCraftsman]

You never cease to amaze Steve, what a true friendship you and Tom have. Good luck!

[@ecwagon]

I hope y'all do good after all the problems

[@dan3162]

Good luck on the tour this week!!

[@vancem.bufordsr.5425]

Steve=Loyalty and Relationship beyond "any type of friendship" YOU SIR ARE A MOTOR GOD Way beyond $$$!!!

[@chief3378]

Huge props to the man that fix the crank and for you fixing the motor for Tom so you can go with him on drag week

[@darylmorse]

Amazing work, getting that build done so quickly! I wish you and Tom the very best of luck. It would be great to see this car finish drag week on top!

[@kiwidiesel]

Awesome to see father and son team at it. Kyle enjoy this time with your dad as once they are gone your only left with memories made and unable to make new ones.

[@HighMXHubby]

Great job turning the rebuild so quick! Incredible testimony on how well your engines are built. Good luck this week!

[@br549rdr]

Thank you for taking the time to record this. We enjoy watching a craftsman work. Everyone of us is pulling for you guys this week.

[@ni_wink84]

That’s a thrash!! Awesome!! I’m bummed the wagon isn’t going and Tom is taking 1.0 I was hoping to see some records broken by an SMX this year! Good luck guys

[@tools6106]

I love your customer service and the friendships you have developed! You have my utmost respect! ❤❤❤❤

[@royduenas1192]

Yet another fine example of friendship and comradery shown right here. There's certainly other factors involved, but seeing everyone coming together to make it all happen is commendable in every way. Good luck guys!👍🏼💯🇬🇺

[@veto8792]

I just noticed that it was a Brodix block. I assumed it was an SMX just like 2.0 and thought swapping engines would have been the easier way to go. That’s a lot of work in a short amount of time. Steve Morris engines sure does have some great customer service.

[@kennybodhaine6558]

Back in 1985 I crewed on a 220 + mph unlimited hydroplane. We BLEW the boat up 20 feet from the dock for initial testing. (Improper fuel cell cap and it leaked during the 10 mile transport to the Lake to test). We all voted to fix the new boat instead of using the old hull. By the time we finished, we were WAY behind! The drivers left at 4:00am on a Thursday morning for Miami from Seattle, normally a 72hr drive. They made it in 56hrs including a stop at the crew chiefs' relatives house to shxx/shower/shave. At many times the transporter, trailer and 9,000+ lb boat and 4 spare Rolls V12's never went under 100mph in TX/LA according to one of the drivers.😲. Great effort, Steve! Been there, done that.👍👍

[@douglawrence9616]

Steve that was incredible! The things you do for friends.

[@rhegafd]

my favorite series by far was when you were diagnosing Cleetus's motor. I watched every second of each video. This one (Im 1/4 through so far) looks to be along the same lines. Seeing how do detective work and figure out the impossible is great content imo.

[@geoffreyveale7715]

As a person that makes a technical product that sometimes fails I can sympathize with Steve. Any good manufacturer knows that the buck stops with YOU, and YOU are the one that must fix the problem. Knowing this can be a little scary, but satisfying when you finally fix the problem.

[@davidripplinger2711]

This guy!! ❤❤ Fine display of true dedication to the race world!! Standing Ovation Steve Morris, and firm handshakes.

[@travispeoples]

That's pretty amazing! Tom is very fortunate to have an amazing friend and engine builder willing to do the impossible at a moments notice. I really hope his car does well this week. 🤞

[@smudger6461]

Steve Morris... can we all just have a moment to appreciate this man and is awesome aura, respect and gratitude for all things in life... an all round good human..❤

[@msracing4423]

What amazing customer service you have. You definitely love your job. And it shows.

[@brettnipps7205]

Amazing Steve!!! you looked exhausted when Tom dropped that off. Glad Kyle could help on Saturday. Best of luck!

[@CC-mb8fi]

Respect to a professional Especially one that goes above and beyond like you do Steve Any pro race team would be honoured to have you in their camp....... I truly can only wish the best for you......

[@CC-mb8fi]

And to add to the above, i thinke Kyle has not fallen far from the tree A case of son following in the big footsteps of his father..... Will make any father proud Oh yes, and any son will say : THATS MY DAD....

[@FangOfTruth]

Your crank guy really cranked it out. Back by 9:30am after straightening and grinding 20 on a Saturday morning. Wow.

[@vancem.bufordsr.5425]

100% awesome father-son team probably one of the best and finest in the world for sure!!!

[@ralphcooley841]

Steve is an amazing human being. He spends more time helping others then on his own projects.

[@glenbrannon7224]

Steve my prayers are with you, your tired before starting the race and drive. We will all be following you !

[@phillipragsdale3382]

You are one high energy man to see you racing around that motor disassembling and reassembling at that speed makes me tired. Great job Steve I just love your videos.

[@josipants7548]

I know a little about motors and build but this is a whole other level. It’s a work of art. It would be a dream opportunity to learn engine build from the shop.

[@davidresar8256]

That's dedication! Way to go, Steve and company!

[@wesbelew4275]

I got to give it to you Steve you have awesome customer service! Especially if you would do this for all your customers. It's got to be tough to build a motor with that much hp to drive on street and drag.

[@zigazackwrx17]

What does the type of fuel you're using have to do with your choice of connecting rod material?

[@nicholasschumacher4976]

The scramble button held down the whole build. Awesome. Good luck guys.

[@Just_Modify]

I feel like I’m in automotive college when I watch this channel, and I love every second. 🏁🇺🇸

[@joshrawlings2621]

Memories of Last Years Departure with y’all in Workshop mode. Legend to All needing ya & those witnessing the dedication you Offer to all….✨👍✨

[@natersalad889]

EVERY engine stand needs a drain pan shaped to the bottom of the stand to catch all residual fluids that run out of it, we made a simple one out of sheet metal that we bent up the sides and welded and fab'd a notch out for the main engine stand vertical arm. Wouldn't do it any other way now. Takes about 2 hours or so of work to prevent so much clean up time and messes

[@ajwilson605]

Amazing the complications a 10 year old rod bolt can make when it's s stretched beyond it's torque holding capacity. Great job Steve! a 30 hour turn around on a race engine... Fantastic!

[@patrickvaugn897]

You having the experience and expertise...and problems being inevitable....challenges like these are more than probable. Smiling and wading thru them as you do ....awesome.

[@alexray7594]

Steve you are An amazing person, my grandfather that taught me everything I know about Diesel engines and Mechanics is exactly like you and exactly the same Mannerisms I loved watching this video you are so comical about how he wanted to just stand there like an idiot while he demanded you take his “your” engine apart for him because he got to excited and destroyed it when you could’ve walked and I know you love your craft so much you couldn’t walk away from that beautiful engine, I know you are such a busy person you will never see this but hell of a video start hahahaha and what a quick and efficient tear down and rebuild as always I’ve learned so many things from you man for real thank you for These videos

[@usmclee65]

Steve Morris is a real engine builder that everyone should for to PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesu]

As long as there is time for the camera you should never run out of video material! Thanks Steve. God bless you

[@TurboJailer]

You sir are a good friend to take care of that last minute like you did. Well done!

[@aaroncurtis8060]

Hey randy I have heard people adding marvel mystery oil to the crank case and allow it to sit and run for 20 mins at idle and then change the oil do urnoul change and then add lucas oil stabilizer back Into it with ur oil change it has helped quiet the top end alot down .

[@chadp6307]

'Tis the life of a racer.. there's almost always something that doesn't go as planned. Sometimes it's really minor, but sometimes (like this), it can be really major. I hope all this last-minute effort pays off for you and Tom, so that you have a good week.

[@chief3378]

I can't wait for videos from you and Tom just because of the way the week started emergency engine rebuild hopefully the rest of the week is smoother and you guys have fun

[@riverdragonmarineservice441]

It’s impressive that such old technology is still the go to for high performance reliability. Babbit bearings head studs and copper head gaskets. All things that were in model A engines in the 20s-30s.

Not only a kickass engine builder, but quite a good friend as well. ❤

[@Redneck-Redemption]

That is so awesome that you did that for Tom. You guys be careful and have fun! 😎

[@jeremyking5684]

I say they got caps mixed up, caused one rod to be to tight and spin bearing and other rod is probably on the lose side.

[@Guesswho69650]

Steve you go up and beyond for your friends. Very commendable

[@Jet2416-Reloading]

There's 2 things that amaze me: One is that you can tear down and reassemble this engine with a crank grind in only about 12 hours. Two is that it almost never fails that Tom, once again, has waited to essentially the last minute to test and find a problem with the car and/or engine he will be taking to a race. Don't get me wrong, I love Tom and everyone at Sick Racing, but you'd think he would plan ahead better by now. ❤

[@SteveTheBeardedWonder]

You are an absolute machine and inspiration

[@brucefrye8799]

Wow!! What a story. Good luck guy's you're going to need it
