Weird Crankshaft Secrets!!! // Scat Tour

I had NO clue all of the weird uses there were for crankshafts!
BIG shoutout to Scat for the hospitality and teaching me SOOO muchb about what their crankshafts are used for!

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks Tom for giving the tour of Scat Crankshafts and Rods. You have an amazing shop and the technology at Scat is simply awesome. Take care, Ed.

[@robertginsburg8113]

Great story! It's always nice to see home grown manufacturing.

[@lewisbrodnax7898]

So let me get this straight( pun intended) a crank from Scat is straight right out of the box? Thats great, its worth t price Not to need any more work to it.

[@yafois988]

HMM, Currently working on a AMC 401, a stroker set would be a great upgrade here.

[@LateStartRacingTeam]

Really appreciated the explanation of how Scat manages the metallurgy during machining compared to the alternative. Great stuff!

[@craigkubnick1148]

In the background, why are all those shipping crates ASC MADE IN CHINA 🇨🇳

[@Alex-mr4is]

Maye the steel comes from there. Chinese tend to have good prices on material

[@timweb1510]

Yack,yack,yack,yack, get to it

[@SaWuDOHC]

comfy

[@brucefulper4204]

Made in China

[@StephenGiovi]

I have found that SCAT products don't require a lot of extra machining and balancing before assembly of an engine....love the products. Keep it going, please!

[@wtfobiden]

I will be buying Scat for my engine rebuild.

[@1950Bonanza]

I've built some VW engines for both cars and Experimental aircraft using Scat cranks, non better for the price for sure. There was a F1 racing plane named ScatCat I believe. I would like to know if they make and or do anything with pressed cranks, such as the old Kaw Z engines and Two Strokes.

[@stevewelborn8744]

That was very interesting. You do a great job with your video's.

[@oscarpuente2029]

very informative!!👍

[@boostismagic]

I bought four of his rods for my latest Honda rebuild when I heard about the company's story last year. I always thought they were low quality before. Four, of 1500 made that day 😅

[@neticz01]

80% of the steel gets thrown away? they should look into turning part of the shop into a foundry

[@onehot57]

Great and very informative video, I always thought Scat was a Chinese company, my bad!

[@LeftForDeadGarage]

Great video

[@coatingsplatingsjas1powder557]

Simply hearing him share his life story is truly delightful, and all I can express is my heartfelt gratitude. It was truly remarkable.

[@shaunfeldman3964]

Very cool

[@jimkillen1065]

Seems like I heard that someone one from Ford came to Scat to built either the crank or rods for the 427 for won LaMans . I remember hearing how they tested the engine on a stand to simulate the track .

[@wesleybateman5837]

Cole , Mr scat knows his cranks !

[@wesleybateman5837]

Thanks for the information

[@Joeylucio22]

learning all this stuff before I start my build . Out of respect to our mechanic Gods 🙏

[@dangerousVW]

Thanks for the video. And thanks to Tom to take the time out for the tour. He is still enthusiastic about his business!

[@harryloibl5183]

Thanks buddy 😊😊😊

[@flinch622]

A fine American story. And to think that proper state functions were funded by a reasonable 2 1/2% sales tax back in the day! The people there are absolutely being robbed blind today - I would never dream of any light industry endeavor there today.

[@bigmuz_pilot]

Yeah that was back when the 1% was taxed properly, that made up the difference.

[@flinch622]

@@bigmuz_pilot That, friend, is a mirage: nobody paid top rates, net. Interest of any kind was deductible etc. Reagan [of all people] pulled off some serious jujitsu as president: rates [that nobody actually paid net] went "down" but... a host of deductions went away - he raised taxes, as proved by increased revenues. Rush never figured it out. I also note mileage deductions were effectively sent through the woodchipper under Bush 43 - I don't even bother anymore, where [before] if 50% or more was business related, the recordkeeping was worth the trouble. Anyway, beware of being sold jealousy because at the end of that tunnel there's a freight train that basically boils down to looking your kid in the eye and effectively saying 'If you *ever* dare become successful, I'm seeing to it there's a system in place to punish you' - its called progressivism. Personally, if I had a "king for a day" moment, I would put a threshold non-tax income level in place [near/above 150% of poverty level threshold], then flat tax on further income at 17% with no bs: an actual postcard size filing that doesn't need lobbyists or a freaking decoder ring. Paying doesn't bother me near as much as having days sucked out of my life every year in pure non-productive time to sift through reams of instructions, forms, formulas and records that need a word stronger than "byzantine" to describe. Those formulas by the way is where the executive branch steals congressional authority quite often to raise taxes - spread the effect across 3 or more forms, and your average committee never spots it. But if they should... its a "clerical error" and nobody loses their pension.

[@wungley]

five stars

[@pizzandoughnutspage7817]

We’ve got a forged Scat crank and Scat Pro series rods in our Chevy 406, never had a single issue with anything. The machine shop complimented about the detail and fit for there parts. USA made by hard working men and women, thank you🇺🇸

[@ronknowles-wm9pz]

top end dude...buying all my blower engine rotating parts from scat !!!!

[@TheJohndeere466]

I made a billet crank for a 466 John Deere on manual machines

[@KCadbyRacing]

Very coool...

[@georgelaramore6529]

their cast cranks are cast in china. eagle and most others also. But they machine them. iv had 2 sets out of 12 that i had to hone to get a extra .001" clearance. because their crank was perfect on factory size. they do nascar stuff too.

[@pauloconnor7951]

Awesome !!!

[@twotrackjack2260]

This was super cool

[@pauljanssen7594]

Old tech but Hi-Tech

[@marktrevisan4431]

Make or import.....

[@chrisbrown4870]

not bad for an old crank 😂

[@jhidley1]

Caution!!! If you purchase a crankshaft from SCAT, they will machine it with incorrect dimensions, so that the engine can not be assembled. Then the customer ends up with a $1,500 paperweight that they waited 6 months for.
