Even though your polishing 💩 mostly, your still creating something new and usable!!? If we didn’t have people like you there wouldn’t be much excitement in this world!?? You help move a lot of people to build cool shit. Which makes a lot of us mechanical folks crave to see your creations do amazing mechanical work. Get all you can while we are here because we don’t do it any more after we leave. Make it count no matter how twisted the world is.
Screw what everybody says about your intros I actually like them and you are a very smart and intelligent enough person to play all those instruments as well as being a Master mechanic and Machinist
About 2 months ago, I came across a free extension called SponsorBlock. It allows people to cut out intros, outros, and various other segments in videos. With this extension, you can customize how those sections of the video proceed. You can set it up to auto-skip or prompt you to skip. If you love intros and outros, you can configure it to ignore them and let them play as normal. It’s amazing! If you’re struggling or annoyed with video intros, I highly recommend it. Personally, I have mine set up to skip intros, outros, and something called “filler.” Filler can take many forms; in this particular video’s case, it refers to high-speed montages with music behind them. As a result, a 21-minute video now becomes a 17-minute video. Normally, I would manually skip through these parts, but now I can turn the video on and let it play while I do dishes or something else. So, instead of coming to the comment section to complain about how you want the creator to produce their videos, just get this extension and never be bothered by it again.
Love the introduction music and the all the rock and roll music you play during your very informative and entertaining videos!!! Thank you and please keep it up .
The fact that only rock music has come through those speakers and no country has ever.. made this top-tier RU-vid content... keep up the awesome work, sir. pete
Not only high power engines but high power rifles to boot! That headless looks like it has a B.C. Rich body and the sound reminds me of the fuzz White Lion used back in the day and a few other 80s era bands, that takes me back. Add metal, indeed!👍
Where going Mad, to see Petes beautifull craft. On engines that last, going down the quarter mile Fast with in every pass. It feels like your smoking grass, to see your crank, piston and rods rotate in that perfect mass. Its rock and roll when you machine a block and bore. Only making your back sore, but with every engine you score. Grind the pump to see you jump, you aint a no chump. Just a magic man, who can turn engines and say. I Can😂✌️🤟awesome channel, keep up polishing, we keep supporting. Hello From Finland/Helsinki.
Do you think its worth it to calculate the weight of the engine oil that will be on the bottom side of the piston and in the oil control rings. Is that few grams really important.
I love machines which provide a dual purpose ... not only does Pete get the o-ring grooves set in the heads, he also gets a workout ... how awesome is that!
Howdy. About the damage to Leroy's LS... You mentioned before, you might put aluminum rods in it. Just hypothetically, since that engine failure seems to have come down to a fueling issue... if it would have had beefier rods, would it have caused more damage to the engine? I.e., the last engine looks like the rods just bent and gave way.
damage would have been no different . but that engine is pushed past limits of most rods and aluminum rods are more forgiving to detonation . there comes a point when you need to use parts that can open up your tuning window . i cannot speak for pete but he had reservations and i do as well leroy is in a spot where steel rods can hold up but aluminum rods although you have a life cycle to deal with is a better choice cause they offer a cushion for oopsies in your tuning window .... lets face it cleat is always looking to go faster even when he shouldn't given the combo on hand
Cool as usual! I say the ideal intro to video ratio is improved by the montage music (with picture in picture video!!!). Please release a Polishing Turds album. . . One thing I saw was the man handling of the head when putting in the grooves. Wondering if its worth the effort to make a clamp/jig so you can just cut the groove instead of cutting the groove and holding the head at the same time. Hernias suck. . . Keep it up, you kick ass.
Disregard my comment in the last video, I thought I saw 301's, you have 201's! No issues with the surrounds in the woofers rotting out in those. Rock on 🤘 Defiantly dig the Polks! NO COUNTRY FTW!!!! LOL
@@realgoodatdoinstuff900 they are def 201's, the only thing I see a lot with those is the rear connector +/- tabs break. Don't try to pry the grills off, they are removable, but the tabs that hold them on often break. They do jam for some 6.5" two ways.
Pete love your work and these walk throughs. I think every time you do 1 of these i learn something. Loved the fire ring tool you do manually. Genuinely a dream of mine for you to build me a Decent Ej25 ( Subaru ) for you v8 meaties lol When it comes to engine building and motorsport you guys leave our country behind. Big Aussie Fans Keep doin Shit real GOOD =)
Next video , Pete has guest Guitar player Joe Satriani .. 👀 ..we can only hope. The 2 of yall jamming out, would be epic. This is an engine/race engine channel. Steve Morris not so much.
Great work Pete🧐👌😎do you have a music channel? How can I find your tunes? I really like the guitar solos on the time lapses. Much love from Pennsylvania 🥳😎🤙🇺🇲
An artist in every sense of the word. I didnt realize the grooves are cut by hand. Keep the tech videos coming. Im an assembler, not a builder. But there's always hope. Fixing wrecks is my profession. Millimeters and fluid ounces are my parameters. Performance engines are a hobby. I enjoy learning whats going on while looking at things i dont completely understand. You and a few others have helped me with that. I appreciate your work. Musical and mechanical. Not that it matters to me personally but, a better background with a nice guitar, amp and chromed out smallblock would be perfect. Thanks!
How can I get Flac. copies of your music so I can play it through my good stereo? My local Walmart doesn't seem to carry them. Your videos are so informative!
I would appreciate to know where i could get more of your music. My old lady and I really like listening to your stuff. Thanks for sharing such good stuff.
Thanks again Pete for a great video, I've never seen the process of grooving for O-rings. And dude, you need to tell us more about the "boom boom stick" on the bench, that looks to be a nice well set up rig, Oh and keep up the music, I for one love it. cheers from Perth Australia where owning a gun makes you treated like a criminal
I can tell you're real good at doin stuff because you bring the whole socket strip. I'm ok at doin stuff so I make 3 trips back to the toolbox for the next size socket.
Hey pete silly question, I remember back somewhere someday someone said you should hang a crankshaft and not lay it horizontal. Is there any truth to this claim?
Do you have to weldup and re cut cylinderhead orings everytime you pull them out? Example if you're sending the heads out to get port work and they are already oringed?
Quick question....Have you decided on having a Holley tuning class? Dates? Or am i just missing it on your website?...Thanks. Great info and better music!
What happened to you building Brad Edwards motors for Ole Blue. I noticed the car wasn’t as fast last weekend at the Gangsters on 28’s for $50K @ ShadySide DragWay. Not saying the car was slow by any means but seemed like the car was way faster when you were building his motors. They weren’t showing times but from my outlook didn’t look like he made any 3 second passes. He was still flying and did really good for not being on floppies for something like 15 years lol.
Having never done balancing i have what's probably a stupid question.. when rods/pistons come in do you need to match each rod/piston combo to the lowest weight one so they all all match or do they come in soo close now that you just need to weigh 1 set and can balance off that. (sorry if i'm wording this badly)
Pete reminds me of the HULK, lab rat puttin horse torques together in his shop were they belong. At the track he turns into a beast with his opponent killer computer.. keep up the awesome work Pete. Hope Cleeter lets you super tune the 69’ I like call it the HoonEagle.. RIP Dale & Ken..
Is there a particular reason that you have a round ram bridgeport? Is there something better about them for engine work? I am a tool and die maker and have a similar vintage knee mill but it has a dovetail ram. Why they omitted the side cabinet in later models i will never wrap my bean around.
