Is it true that a nascar engine will stay together than a drag engine I know they stay in higher rpms for hours and do you show on how to improve on on engines thank you for what you do
I agree.... (obviously) and also besides the fact that Drag Race Engines only have to stay together for a quarter of a mile --- whereas Circle Track endurance and even Marine hi-perf/Offshore Racing with their extremely super high load/high stress type stuff must stay together and be able to endure for many miles and several minutes if not hours. 🧐
Hey Brian I been building engines a long time too. Still trying to learn more every day you are really good at videos. Definitely know what you mean by you need to get paid for the engines and hard work
Thanks for taking the time to do this for us. I will be re facing valves your way instead of the old school. I do need to update my collet to a modern one. Most amateur shops don't check the concentricey.
Once again, great information. And yes, the details matter, always. Thank you for showing what you show us. Gives a good base to maybe narrow the margin of learning your small tricks. I've got no problem putting in work!
I've always wondered if the high quality heads could be made better. Curious to see this build as I have similar block and the heads are straight out the box. Being busy is a good thing 🏁🏁🏁
I got bad news for ya. I think we are about the same age and I have found contrary to what I believed when I was young I just get busier and busier all the time. The price of being good at what you do is people will seek you out to have you do it.
In the mid 80's, there was a fella in NASCAR country who offered a 5 to 7 thousand dollar update to the spindle and housing on the Sunnen VGS 20. I talked with a fella who said the results were enough better that the volume of heads was way up in the Cup shops due to all chatter, runout were completely gone. I didn't do it but the question always bothered me because it took too long to complete a perfect valve seat. Oh, I could do it alright but, especially canted valves, I found the thing that worked for me to offset the drop of the cutting head which always drops straight down causing the center line to change. I guess when this guy modified the head, it always cut square. Talking with Sunnen, they laughed. Yours updated ?
@@JohnH.-qp6fb yeah that's definitely a problem with sunnen equipment and quite frankly any kind of 3D fast cut system I'm sure you noticed how long it took me to cut that one seat but it turned out perfect
Hi Brian. At what lift point does the 50 degree seat gain over the 45? If it is at modest lift is there any reason to stay with 45 degree seats any more? Thank you for taking the time to show us at home ways to make our engines better. Andrew
They say if you have to ask you can’t afford it, but, with the engine for the competition, what ballpark are we talking about? How crazy is it going to be?
And no run of the mill "5 angle" either. I'm the the width of each cut are specified for the application. Ever since my first day of Automotive Technology at UTI I've been fascinated with air and the valve job angle importance. I spent hours on hours cutting valve seats with Neway carbide cutters. Good stuff Brian.
@@guillermodavila9397 if you're talking about integrated valve seats I will be checking it often If the valve starts pulling up in the head the first thing you'll see is the valve adjustment getting tight and if you see that happening then you know the head is giving up
@@SalterRacingEngines Hi. Now that is something I haven't thought of. What kind of flow or hp potential is that worth? Man I need to start thinking a whole lot more. Andrew
@@andrewburlock2653 that's not the only angle that can be had in some cases. Depending on where the seat contacts the valve....ie. 0.200" from the margin, angles can start there towards the margin.
I read a story about people during the Great Depression that in short said…. You could find 700 people asking for a job, almost no one telling you what value they can bring to your business.
@Red9GearHeads what value I can bring kinda depends on what a shop might need. If they are not in need of another employee I can bring no value to that shop. That's not to say I have no value. I have alot of value if someone is looking for more help. What kind of value ill discuss with whomever I might find that needs the help.

@@johnhughes738 NASCAR and F1 are the most reliable Racing Engines ever made
@@johnhughes738 Some NHRA racers get to rebuild or replace their engines between runs. NASCAR and F1 don't.

Loved hearing about your English Teacher story and what he told you about the little details. I enjoyed your video, Professor Salter, brother. 👍

The weather is the same here in Fayetteville as well lol. Engine competition? That's AWESOME!!!!! Good luck brother!!!

More great teaching, thank you. We appreciate your efforts.
Smart man thank you for taking your time to teach there is some know it all out there don’t know shit but u keep on keeping on
Angle valve job certainly shows a good flowing rounded shape effect on the valve and the head. 👍
Thanks for what you do! Todd from Canada, Clevor build 445 Windsor (Dart).
I think your customer is going to be very happy with the 355. Good power and I think it's going to rev fast. Hope he has a rev limiter. LOL
Thanks Brian, another great video.
Yes, 604 crate engine rods are powdered metal rods.
Thank you Brian. Curious, what changes, if any, when resurfacing a titanium valve?

Brian Salter Racing Engines = No doubt. 🏁🏁🏁Thank you Professor Brian for all you do. Greatly appreciated.
I see a 5 angle valve job....
great info,,,and video,,,thanks
@20:00 you can really see the difference in the way the light reflects off the seats, that it's going to flow a lot better.

I got a 6 7 Galaxy 500 fastback. I'd love to put that motor in
Question Brian.....
SBF....production block.....why not 435ci(4.040") or 440ci(4.060")? The 4.250" crank will fit.
He had a cubic inch limit in the rules
@SalterRacingEngines ah....shit, sorry I must've missed that.
@arturozarate1752 I don't think I mentioned that
I personally would not choose that size
@SalterRacingEngines curious. How much rpm are you planning to turn?
Respect 😎 thx for sharing and teaching ❤️
Snotty 355! Great high output street combo!
Thanks for the video. God bless.

@@andrewburlock2653 yeah definitely stay with 45
It helps at the very top Max lift
I put a 35 on it to maintain my mid lift
But 45 is a great angle
As always, 👍👍👍
Take care Brian
sintered seats ? Hard like WellTite? Nickel based alloy? does coolant make a difference?
You up awful early !! 😁👍🏻
Brother, just go back to the Ranger high and tight and don't worry about that hair. LOL
Also, love your videos 👍
When you polished the value did you polish the value seat to ?

What is a radious cut on the exhaust port
You should do a pump gas give away engine by selling shirts or do a waffle
nice work brian do you leave the exhaust seat at 45 degrees or do you change that to 50 ?
@@mikecondoluci53 in this case I'm using 45 on the exhaust
Just have to pay for parts or parts and labor
@@chimpfoos65 I would do this job for around $1,500 labor plus parts
And it's way cheaper than normal and the parts would be at cost
That is more than fair sir
I see chatter in the factory valve job, are the seats powered metal?
@@davidreed6070 yep
Y’all oughta see if VA will cover the hair treatment, for it being a LOD resulting from helmet time…😜
@@georgedreisch2662 true. Lol
The truth about information always comes out eventually! Anyone claiming gr8 information always gets corrected over time and time doesn't lie!
Can you 55 degrees on iron seats ?
@@guillermodavila9397 if you're talking about integrated valve seats I will be checking it often
If the valve starts pulling up in the head the first thing you'll see is the valve adjustment getting tight and if you see that happening then you know the head is giving up
Teacher was not wrong.
why do you want the exhaust seat into the intake instead of the other way around?
@@terrysmith8133 because the exhaust seat gets so much hotter
You want to make sure it has all the contact surface area it can so it doesn't fall out
The factory cut in the head above your 50° looks to me , to be already toooo flat . Agree or disagree ,,, ?
Is the margin leaned back slightly?
@@robertheymann5906 in this case only 5°
