Creative "Rules Interpreter" Jon Kaase Talks Hidden Horsepower 

Agreed!

Thanks for sharing!

I’m a true blue oval fan and my dad drilled it in my head from the time I could talk. Good post brother.

He is? It takes an "excellent engineer", $35k+ and a stroker big-block to get 1.25 hp per cubic inch naturally-aspirated? ROFLMAO.

No one cares what's in your heart

Hey Jack ass keep your thoughts to your Self​@@lollipop84858

Jon is a genius and a gentleman!

I was at EMC in '16 and '17 as a helper for a competitor. I saw his MEL engine and the teardown afterwards. I was blown away by it, and always am with his work. The guy doesn't think like "normal" guys; he thinks like an engine. Super easy to talk to, and he will treat anyone like you are somebody, like he did me. Absolutely a class act!!

I will say that you are correct and I am looking forward to seeing him sometime soon.

@@calvin99991 was that the 368 Lincoln?

@@gordocarbo Yes it was. He put up some good numbers, but beating Mr. Kaase is a monumental challenge.

He’s the man!

These Dumb=asses just don't have the ability to shut up for a minute & let the guest finish a thought. I can' t hear what the guy has to say because they're constantly interrupting & talking over him-

@@keithdean1327 I'm ok with it. It wasn't supposed to be a lecture. Total Seal man is quite energetic tho😂

Jon is the man!

He is the legend!

Jon is amazing!

He’s the man!

I really want to see more FE stuff, those are such a great engines. Blair Patrick and his 400 ci FE with heads just exactly like my heads that were stolen from the machine shop when I was putting 2.19 intakes in and V grooving the chambers. It needs the turbocharged setup to cushion the yank on the rod during overlap. It is about the only method to cushion the piston pin and run a light rod.

Kaase is the man!

@@TotalSealYES SIR! and with the help of TotalSeal rings I made 731hp@8500rpm with my 383 Windsor. Thanks TotalSeal!

Thanks!

Yes! I wish we could have had Grump and Glidden on as well.

I wish Prostock would have kept making teams run a factory style engine instead or just letting them make a engine that was never in a production car. To me the skill was taking that and making as much power as possible.

He’s the man!

That’s awesome. He’s a great guy.

Indeed!

You're very welcome

Thanks for sharing

Thanks!

Lighter, Faster, Stronger - the new materials and coatings are amazing!

@@TotalSeal I apprenticed to Cliff Brien for 2-3 days a week in the early 90's building short track engines. Cliff had been partnered with Les Ritchie when they were building the Thunderbolt and Cammer engines for Gas. After Les's tragic death in May 66, he never built another drag racing engine I know of.

Thanks!

Yeah. He is over animated. Craving the spotlight too much

Jon Kaase, Greg Anderson, whoever.... Lake just has to try and take the drivers seat. Sit quietly in the back seat, and let these top notch guys talk to us, and enlighten us.

Nonsense,Lake is an extrovert,it's his nature to be engaging with people in a loud and over-animated way,it has nothing to do with"craving the spotlight" nor does he want to"try and take the driver's seat while conversing with others....

Worked

Those mountain motor engines are crazy!

That segment is available @EnginePerformanceExpo

Agreed!

Pontiac Power!!!

Yes he is!

Yes it is!

Many years ago they tried making a ring & pinion set out of titanium material. It was a disaster. Titanium is one weird material...

I thought it was just the thrust bearing? The fillets on the rest have a little clearance or at least should. Titanium is abrasive and have to have the clearance like any other material. I think titanium has been rejected because the clearance is excessive enough to cause secondary issues from the angles compromised by clearance like skirts and pins are beyond their limits to live with other things.

Titanium rods need to be degaussed according to their polarity and coated with plasma molybdenum of opposite polarity. Playing with this arena is worth it if your purses are $1,00,000,000 in a season. I enjoy learning about it for the sake of learning, but I am looking for 1000 hp from a turbocharged 410 ci Ford FE running 5140 polished and peened steel, forged pistons flat top, and a modular iron or 5140 dump truck steel crank. prefer aluminum heads. If someone copied Cleveland closed chambers with 2.19/1.6 valves and v- grooved on the inlet side and a short V-groove on the exhaust side of the plug. put high riser medium riser FE ports. Even the same port placement as the FE has but canted and moved up or down according to intake or exhaust it would be the best of both worlds. THE Chamber and a perfect port position . 4.63 port centers FEs are tough and light. With turbos you don’t have the yank on the pistons and rods on the overlap stroke as the turbo acts as a cushion with the positive constant that acts as a 5th stroke. You can use wider lobe separation on NA if you see oblong piston pin holes or rod holes. I ve even seen cap stud stretch and rod bearing loss of crush and the edges pulled away and grooving the throw. I have V-grooved iron FE heads and ported them to flow 285 cfm @28, but they perform like 315 cfm@ 28. It’s port recovery. I actually had it compared on a dyno. Same short block just a head swap. The 285cfm head beat the 310 cfm head by 35 hp. The port speed was so much higher on the 285, but it lost torque by 28ft lbs . The rpm’s were higher on the 285s peak the exhaust was lower at the same speed. On the strip in the car the 285 equipped heads were .6 faster 1/4 because it hooked up clean and ran clean at 7200 on the top end. He said that the torque at the bottom he had to pedal it and he didn’t have the power out the back. I really wish somebody would make a 4.63 Cleveland head for an FE. If you build them right, they are so good.

,,, titanium has not been rejected as a rod material ; however it has been outlawed in NHRA pro stock .

Glad you think so!

Jon is the man!

Great discussion! You should also interview the king of Ford mod motors : John Mihovetz from Accufab Racing .

He does have some heads for the Cleveland that are really good.

4V heads on a Cleveland?.....prepare your bank account, it ain't gonna end well....ask me how I know......

@@imtheonevanhalen1557 Hello. Please explain.

COMBO !!!

Yes he is!

I call him Mr.Boss 👍

LOL, Jon makes everything faster!

Don’t we all…

Thanks!

Absolutely!

Thank you!!!

Do you mean creating crankcase vacuum?

Example?

@@garlandjones7709 Factory camshaft selection avoids overlap. I believe emissions are only part of the motivation for avoiding overlap. Pressure * area = force. Scavenging = vacuum. Negative pressure over piston area equals tension on connecting rod. Personal experience with my vehicle build.

All the guys under one roof!

He makes great products!

Nice but Kaase even says his wedge engines make more power than the Boss 9 Hemroid heads. Hemroids are inherently limited by their design, in valve size, & cam duration, overlap & lift because the valves will hit each other during overlap.

@@bradgriffith4231 If this was about power, I would just buy an SMX...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes he is.

👍👍

Yes, WJ is Warren Johnson

We will have Jon on the channel anytime we can.

Oh PLEASE !!!

NASCAR ,BANNED the 312 Supercharged Thunderbird Engine and the FORD 427 SOH CAMMER! IN the Late 80s NASCAR Implemented the restrictor Plate , the FORD Thunderbirds were TOO FAST ! When Bill Elliot won the Championship! , Allen Kulwicki won a Championship, and David Allison ran SO STRONG with FORD POWERED CARS ! .

@bobgyetvai9444 OH please? TRUE FACTS !

@@Jerry-up8bk you been snortin a shine jug a few too many times .

Not sure about that, but anything is possible.
