Good content lot of knowledge. Little long on present but good

I thought we were getting tips and input from a professional. Seems like it turned into a professional getting input from Lake. Let the man speak, ask questions when he's DONE explaining everything.

That man is good..

Show us this frequency flex with a strobe light,seeing this back and forth movement would be interesting

Where can you get this software?

You cannot run u-joints with zero "angularity" - i.e. that "straight" for starters and you're ridiculously overspeeding them in addition to the non-angular abuse. That whole "race boat" is a shit show from the two engines "staggered" in a single-engine hull to the "truck parts" in the drivelines which are an "engineering" disaster on multiple levels to the Ford "race engines" with stupid "big" cams combined with "boost" and "high rpm" operation with those ridiculously close together "screws". Any bone stock 22' American open-hull "ski boat" with ONE stock big-block 8.1-liter "Chevy" Vortec engine at 400ish HP @ 5500 rpm and a Volvo-Penta stern drive with "contrarotatìng" props will beat that pile in an "offshore race" with a top speed of "only" 50-55 mph OVER a 50ish mile "closed course" because it's a virtual "lock" to FINISH while that "race boat" will be "lucky" to finish a "practice lap". "Race engines" do not a "race boat" make and when it comes to "race engines" blown big-block Fords are about as "rare" as "modern" American V8s get in "race cars". And unless they're shoehorned into a Falcon or reskinned "widebody" Falcon i.e. a "first gen" MUSTANG and "racing" small-block Fords or FEs in similar "platforms" but "street cars" they're damn near never "competitive". Unless of course they're "mountain motors" bored and stroked to 100 cubes over "stock" and are more "Chevy" than "Ford".

Love that no-go gauge for the lifters. Wonder if Jon is a gun builder too

I wonder how straight the cylinder stays when it is hotter from top to bottom.

Why are surface grinders not used?

This seems interesting but I cant watch it with his hands all over the machine.

What a great video.. Concise and to the point.. no fluff..

My 1930 cadillac v16 has no counter weights . it's balanced, though, but not with the moving assembly . I'm replacing the 900g iron pistons with aluminum set , I'm curious how it will outcome

My 2000hp viper has pistons cooling jets and nitrited journals , cooling jets are a must !

With a 4¾ inch stroke and an assumed diameter of 10 inches for metric cohesiveness the counterweight tangential mph at 8000 RPM would be 10 x pi x 8000 / 12 = 20944 feet per minute / 88 = 237.999 MPH oil pan contact slug velocity or slightly above adios amigo mass.

This mofo reminds of Alex Jones conversations Yeah ?

Very good vídeo.

Super informative! Thanks!

Super informative! Thanks!

I have built a number of SBC,s over the years, 383's for road racing, have been using your cranks for many years, a couple years ago when they had covid in full swing I was building one, an LT1 383, and they said I couldn't get a Callies or Howards because things were as good as shut down, that you were just trying to keep up with Harly Davidson, long story short, I bought a Crower crank, when you named top crank makers I didn't hear Crower mentioned, so far so good, still running smooth.

This isn't a bad video, but it's very basic and he should be more precise with his wording and specific describing what type of crankshaft and application he is talking about and how features could vary accordingly. One example is him saying "tenths" when he really means "ten thousandths". Some people may be very confused by that. Two tenths of an inch is 0.2" but two ten thousands of an inch is 0.0002". Another example is he doesn't state the fact that he's talking about a big bore, long stroke crankshaft in this video and that some of the features of that type of crankshaft may not apply to a different application like for example, a small bore, short stroke crankshaft with good overlap where you can remove the center counterweights without any problems.

Good content. Intro and outro are too long!

Very Smart, man. God bless you

Just amazing on today's engines people are getting 1,000 Horsepower on stock bottom ends. Unheard back in the muscle car era

Interesting and useful. Thanks for taking the time! I know of Mr Kaase, but never heard him speak, seems like a thoughtful, down to earth person. (Video people: it's too bad the annoying music at beginning and end is much more clear than Mr Kaases speaking. Thanks for video, though!)

Can't understand why this channel has not more subscribers, the amount of correct knowledge shared is invaluable.

When men like John talk, We listen

You are a genius. AG

What is a "fuel crank"? and "fuel racing"? is it topfuel drag racing?

appreciate the very informational presentation John

Been mechanic and in speedway (midgets) all my life. Still can't work out why cranks need counter-weights. I've seen midget engines with ZERO counter-weights and when I did a Datsun1200 motor for my juniour midget I spent 2 days cutting away at the crank with 2 grinders. Zero weights and more (or should that be less). Man, would that thing buzz and rev.

I wish he would let the actual balancer speak instead of interrupting him all the time.

What we are witnessing are the effects of consuming too much espresso quickly.

Looking forward to it! Genuinely one of the most informative things on UA-cam! I have advanced my knowledge by decades for listening to last year's expo ❤

Thank You , Sir

I have a few 1990 taurus 3.0 liter sho in looking for custom main bearing on that engine can they be custom made? If yes who can make them specifically number 1 and number 4 there larger thank in hoping to hear from you

You don't use a stock damper on a high performance engine.... Obviously, but whats the difference and how many types of dampers are there. Is there a "best damper" or dofferent types for different engine power levels? I was hoping Randt would get into that area at least a quick overview. Im surprised that moving the bob weight so little would have any effect. Great info even tho its beyond my pay grade. 👍

I had no idea Billy was so down to earth. I thought he would talk in what amounts to another language but he is making it so easy that even a caveman like me can understand!

"THE LS MOTOR IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S OLDSMOBILE"

Please, Mr Interviewer, let grandpa talk. Pay some respect to him and us, thank you!

I do crank balance for General Motors prototype engines. I put heavy metal in radially but, instead of a press fit, I tap the hole and thread the metal. Then, one tiny tack weld adds no significant amount of heat to the crank but it keeps the screw from rotating and locks it in forever.

Awful, typical American presentation just like a cheap game show.

His understanding and explanation is outdated. Factory v8 cranks have 8 counterweights. They stopped talking imperial 50 years ago also.

I appreciate everyone here. The video and the comments. Didn't know that about a cylinder thanks everyone cheers😊

Good segment, lake, can you pls ask Randy, is the 351c Conrad at 5,78' to short for 7000 rpm, 11-1 street n strip. Mike

Do you run your balance or at 500 RPM or 7,000 seed harmonica come at 7000

Thanks Lake Good video

Crank throws can bend TWO DEGREES out of rotational position from load? Nah. Show me.

18:58 "Take a file & drill it & see how much fun you have" LOL. I have a Callies 4-3/4 crank in my KB-600, it's a beautiful thing!

If only a crank was loaded with bobweights instead of rods and pistons.

Could it be ran on the street
