Steve, I was a gear head way back in the 70's and 80's. I could watch the CNC machines all day long and never get bored. I could never afford to purchase one of you're engines, hell I can't afford the merch but I do love watching you and Cleet. Thanks for the content and have a blessed day. 😊

Those tool paths in the “wader” jackets probably on a micro scale actually help shed heat into the coolant. Almost like micro “fins” if it were an electronic heat sink… 👍🤘

@mmnootzenpoof 2 месяца назад

i think that depends on how the water flows past it. if it's rough in the wrong way, you'll have little eddy currents that will trap a bunch of heat in pockets next to the metal. if it's rough in the right way, it's extra surface area, like you said.

Aluminum oxides with oxygen. Vacuum heat treatment and annealing should leave the finish natural brite. It's also possible to pack the surfaces with inert material like boron.

@johnhufnagel 2 месяца назад

when it comes to the finish, my opinion is... the water passage areas that get covered by the plate, should be "rough". reason being, more surface area for water to contact and transfer heat from. same reason for fluting gun barrels. it looks cool and makes the barrel lighter, but it also creates more surface area to help cool the barrel. everything else, could be smoother, but I like the rougher "machined" look personally. and it might also help with heat dispersion in the open air.

How many billet blocks will you have to machine before you see a ROE? Including the machines, electric, labor etc?? Maybe too much of a personal question but I’m just curious. Seems like it would be in the thousands. I know doing it in house was one major reason for investing in everything.

@Joe___R 2 месяца назад

The hazing of the aluminum was likely caused by the heat treating oven having too much oxygen in it. You guys seem to keep their ovens as oxygen free as possible. I like the pattern you are achieving during the final machining of the block. As long as you limit it to only the exterior surfaces of the block.

@truegret7778 2 месяца назад

I like the surface finish you were showing-off at 18:00 minute mark and it probably helps carry away more heat because more surface area than a polished finish. Again, whomever picks the music for your videos is awesome.!!!

@mrnobody6743 2 месяца назад

Using that non polished finish provides more surface area for heat dissipation. Might be pretty insignificant, but would be something. If that's in the water jacket area, not sure how fast the water flow is, or if that would cause cavitation which might affect cooling.

@MrBoomer513 2 месяца назад

1000% the finish is amazing. I have seen a lot of billet and it's almost always cool. But to add a little art to it is just something you don't see often.

@djrisberg 2 месяца назад

Steve - on the final machining *YES* but with a twist...at a very prominent spot (noticeable/visible on the finished engine - maybe on the outside of the water jacket plates) on the block - alternate the .075 prominence/depression lines so that your "SMX" logo is integral to the final finish (switch prominence to depression at the outline point of the letters).

@diggy794 2 месяца назад

Steve, the first thing I thought of when you hooked up the car to the hub dyno was you need to build some kind of protection around it. If that blower would have blown on the hub instead of in that room, who knows what would’ve happened.

@AB-80X 2 месяца назад

Not how it works. When a car is on a dyno, you stand clear. You don’t stand on the radial plane of the dampener, flywheel/flexplate, and most crest any not the drive shaft. You can’t shield a car on a dyno. I’ve seen a driveshaft get literally punched through a brick wall. All those videos you see where people are right next to the car etc. is not a representation on how it is done. Those can all collect a Darwin Award. There is one place to stand in a dyno room, and that is several yards off to the side in front of the car. If that’s not possible, leave the room and wait outside if you’re not running the car. Look at Steve’s dyno videos. Nobody is near the car and all are off to the side in front of the car. A blown impeller is not a common issue so not even something you can easily do. It will be heavy, big, not fit all cars, create cooling problems etc. He doesn’t dyno in front of 30 people so the easy sollution is to just stay out of harms way.

@seancollins9745 2 месяца назад

previous heat treater might have used solution heat treating. you should make the pattern in the water jackets even deeper and rougher, more surface area to transfer heat. in fact, you could just add fins to the water jackets to improve cooling,.

@hotrodporsche996 2 месяца назад

@jacoblynch8273 2 месяца назад

The groves form x shapes almost. Idk y but It seems like a straight line grove would look better like v shape or even a cross hatch in intersecting directions would look almost like brick pattern or if it's small you could almost hit a carbon fiber looking effect. But if that's cool and efficient that works just fine.

@martinshreder 2 месяца назад

The dullness of machined block can be caused by old coolant in the CNC machine. Your new machine has fresh coolant so it protects the exposed aluminum from corrosion. As coolant ages it becomes contaminated by salts, salt + heat will make aluminum dull.

@michaelloth5870 2 месяца назад

Only function matters, not how it looks. In the water jacket area you should have ribs in the block to increase surface area and run parallel to the coolant flow. In high stress areas you can go with a more polished look to relive stress and avoid cracks. I see doing this around the mains and cam tunnel / lifter bores.

@mbraun777 2 месяца назад

Agree. No use to introduce stress risers. Besides, there is elegance and beauty in a great design.

Regarding your rough look / wide stepover. With that finishing strategy, You are actually increasing the surface area, and that might be a good thing.

@twisted2291 2 месяца назад

Both water and oil follow the path of least resistance, so the smoother the inner surfaces are. The better the flow.The outters surfaces. I would just glass bead them to make it look like a cast peace if I am got full sleeper mode.

@bobroberts2371 2 месяца назад

However for cooling water, a rough / finned surface offers better heat transfer.

@GNX157 2 месяца назад

15:20 That’s a coolant passage area correct? It won’t be seen after final assembly? I’d say do an engineering study to determine what type of final finish there would be best for thermal heat exchange. Maybe it needs webbing lengthwise to help direct flow, or other areas left built up where there might be cavitation or a stalled flow pocket. Maybe the cover plates also need some special machining on the area facing in.

Once he gets the programs fully proven he will find ways to speed it up even more when you get confident in the machine set up and tool paths. I think you should do one to show what it looks like if you do want that type of finish but it would also be a decent up charge due to the additional machine time.

@minigpracing3068 2 месяца назад

I think you should anodized (clear or color) every surface that doesn't create a heat transfer surface. The aluminum oxide layer doesn't transfer heat as well as the bare aluminum.
