nice job Mr Brand lol....for a guy who has been working in the shop by himself forever with nobody lookin over his shoulder, you sure are good at letting us see the process! Thank you for everything!!
I was going to say it would take years to absorb all the knowledge. Understandable about the bits you don't share. Was starting to question what kinda video this was when he was saying when you tap it. 😁😅 TY for sharing. The tediousness is what is necessary to make sure your giving it your all. Very detail oriented.
There's never enough motor content in my opinion. Especially from professionals. Don't worry about us big dawg we just wanna watch you work and learn from it. Thanks for the knowledge.
I think this was an absolutely great video! Not boring at all. As stated by others, watching a true craftsman at work is almost mesmerizing! Definently looking forward to future content
You can always tell a tradesman that's passionate about his work... Gerald's attention to detail is OUTSTANDING! He lets nothing slip by! Great video guy! Keep'em coming!
Love watching your work! I'm in a different line of work, but when someone asks me why I'm so expensive I tell them You're paying for the 40 years of experience and knowledge I have gained to perform the current job at a higher level. Mesmerizing to watch this stuff!
You sir are a great match for viewer's of Chief & Jackie. Large majority of us really enjoy the technical aspect of what y'all do, throw in the fact of the pride you obviously take in your work and it makes fantastic content.aybe consider showing us what goes into building a stroker motor on a average Joe budget. Maybe a 383 or a 421 with a factory GM block. Build it and raffle it off.
Very well done Sir !! A+ on the audio and video quality. Narration was A+ as well. And it's obvious you are an A+++ skilled machining and detail craftsman,110%
Awesome video it is entertaining to watch someone who knows what they are doing fix a worn part and make it useable again. It is also nice having you explaine how some processes have changed over the years and why. Thanks for sharing this never gets boring to me,
Wow ... memories of working with my Dad back in the 60's in his backyard auto repair shop. Not much has changed ... but a few things did... Aluminum heads, double valve springs, pneumatic spring compressor (we used manual) and cleaning out the sparkplug threads... LOL ... keep the videos coming amigo !!!!
Great job Mr. Brand! You can tell a man that takes pride in his work by how clean and organized he keeps his shop and work areas. Your shop Mr. Brand is impeccable and you sir are a true professional. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your viewers. 🎯
Sadly the days of getting a pair of heads or even block work are quickly coming to a end. These engines that are in the every day drivers are throw aways. Hell the whole cars are being designed as a 5-7 yr throw away. Just look at the "EcoBoomb" 3.6 that GM put in multiple different vehicles. I swear they used that tiny flimsy timing chain so that when it hit 100-K to 140-K miles it puked. Causing catastrophic failure to the engine. And at that point the car really isn't worth the cost of even fixing the bent valves and often damaged pistons. How GM can over engineer the LS engines. And then make such a TURD on these makes you wonder if it wasn't done by design.
You have a lot of very valuable information in this video. I really appreciate the way you explain all the time and effort you put into the valve train. Excellent video.
Really love the video and watching the awesome machining work you do. You can tell this man has never cut a corner and is very meticulous. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait until the next video!!
The man! Great videos, this is great stuff. You might find machine shop stuff boring after all the years of experience, but for those of us interested in this stuff but not working in this space we love it. Keep up the great work!
Love seeing these videos. This is the kind of knowledge that usually only comes from experience/ trial and error an here we are getting it just from watching a video. Your tips and tricks speak volumes about your craftsmanship an intellect.
It is nice to see the practice of a professional in the automotive machine shop world. I always wanted to find a good local machine shop where I can hang out just to absorb that sweet knowledge. Great job
If someone has become as proficient in what they do such as yourself, you will always have an audience. Allot of people don’t realize but there is something mesmerizing about watching a master at his craft. And I encourage anybody to please find something you love and be good at it. There is almost no greater feeling than being able to master a skill. To be able to do something almost effortlessly, and to even have people comment on how well you do something feels pretty good to. But it really is a confidence boost when you are better at something than everybody else.
I always enjoy seeing how you do things,the way you check,repair & set up the workings of an engine. Repairs you have the knowledge & machinery/tooling to make damaged pieces right again interests me. Keep doing what you do,love watching & learning from one of the best!
It’s awesome to see this type of content. Normally you just drop it off at the machine shop and come back when it’s done. It’s great to see the behind the scene magic.
Should have kept the name discussion thing a secret... lol nice work Mr, brand I can see why Mr big chief goes too you sir your one in the same very detail oriented & I like it cause I'm same way when working on my very own things... keep up with videos kind sir and God bless...
Love the video Gerald. very informative and entertaining. between 3-5 looked really bad at the start, i had a feeling the crack was there or 4-6 good work cleaning that up putting some life back into these wore out heads. after seeing the heads like this and the rest of the engine. this engine was 100% not fresh when chief bought it. it was wore out on it last legs ready for something to check out.
The commentary is really educational. I know a bit about machining in general but nothing about machining motors. Just seeing the process is neat. Thanks for the great videos
I really enjoy your videos, I wish I would have stayed working in a engine shop years ago so for me watching you work and hearing you explain most of the details of the process and the tools your using is priceless knowledge...Also your sidekick is an awesome addition to the videos! Keep'em coming!
Keep doing these videos the same way, Gerald. Most folks don't realize that recon/repair work is a whole 'nother animal than simply building or assembling. Strange things lurk beneath the surface of good-looking pieces. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Are you kidding me, I think what you're doing is awesome. Old schooling it ! It's what you know and love to do I'm sure. It's really cool to finally see who you are as we've all heard Chief mentioning your name on more than one occasion. Chief is really lucky to have someone of your caliber right around the corner from him and I'm pretty sure he feels the same way ! I wouldn't give ur secrets away either. Keep em coming !!👍🏻👍🏻
Just the right amount of narration. I've put holes in stuff, but nothing that could be called machine work. I've stuck two metal pieces together, but nothing you would call welding. The stuff you do is fascinating, definitely do more videos.
It is such a priviledge, honor and joy to watch a talented, skillful and knowledgeable craftsman at work. Seeing it going to a timelapse is a bit shameful really, imo. It is slow and tedeous if you look it like that, but it is also mezmerising and relaxing to me. You don't have to change your habits for us, we just want to see you work. If you want to explain what you do, that's great and we would love to hear it, but it's not necessary. Just point the camera at the work station and get to work as you do normally. Be you. That is the Gerald we want to see.
Hell yea. I’m a Lifelong drag racer, that has built hundreds of engines and I loved this video. Keep ‘em coming. I used Al Weis from Wichita Falls for years, and that dude wouldn’t share any of his wizardry. 😅😅
Your content is beyond informative. I'm sure I speak for all your viewers but learning is not enough. More commentating please. You had my attention from the beginning to end, all the way from the Navajo Nation.
Excellent video Gerald. I used a machine shop and the owner held seven NHRA world records in A/Stock and he was the best but he too didn’t tell you certain things.
Always ready to watch a good machinist do his magic. I worked in an automotive machine shop when I was first starting out, I ended up as an engineer working in boring manufacturing facilities, my first love was always racing engines.
You're doing great on the videos. I just enjoy seeing how things are professionally done. It helps me to understand everything. You can sit and go into detail talking about it, and I will not understand much, but if you show me what you're talking about, I will understand it and retain it. Do you do any Harley head work or cylinder boring?
I can see why Chief takes his motors to you. It's great to watch someone who really cares about the quality of their work. Great job Gerald! Love the pooch too!
Gerald your videos are awesome I'm a pin striper by trade And I've always thought machine work was extremely interesting. Film what you consider interesting and have fun with it
I haven’t seen threaded valve guides in over 20 years. It used to be a big up-sell at a couple machine shops around where I live. One shop used to thread the guides and then put bearings retainer on the seals to keep them from sucking oil. Talk about a pain to remove old seals
This channel is going to end up bigger then Chief and Jackie’s!!! I hope he shits when the add rev starts rolling in and he can enjoy a kickass retirement one day!!
Fuck no it isn’t boring!! Man, you don’t have to feel obligated to do a damned thing, I appreciate whatever you’re willing to share. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your world, and your pups day. Please, keep ‘em comin!
It's a real treat to be able to watch a real master machineist at work. You are doing us all a favor sharing what you can. I used to rebuild all my own heads. My father came up with my name when I was born in 1955 while sharpening valve faces on his K.O. Lee valve grinder. I grew up with that machine and used it for a long time until hard times came and forced the sale of that and most of the rest of his machinery. There's a lot more going on than just grinding valves here. You have relationships with your tools and machines. You obviously love your dog and she loves you back. The parts you're working on are more than just parts, I see they represent the people who need them to you. You easily could have jacked the invoice way up by pressing new guides and seats in. Probably would have increaded your profits. But you didn’t. People who label people like us (please allow me to include myself in your circle) as blue collar or working class or my personal favorite "works well with his hands" couldnt hang with you doing this or any similar task just thinking through all the steps you have to go through and all the variables that go with each step. People also .ight not realize that there is real danger involved for drivers as well as spectators and track personnel if you get it wrong. Engine explosions are just that. Risk is risk and you have peoples lives in your hands. My respect is botomless. You and our brotherhood (sisters, I'm not excluding you but I dont know an inclusive term thats as strong as brotherhood. Maybe someone can help me out here) are the foundation of humanity. People who can do things correctly. My term for people who cant do things is Worthless. Dont raise your children to be worthless. We have too many of them already.
Anything you’d be willing to talk about while you’re working on stuff I’d love to hear. I really liked this video and the last one so I’ll be looking forward to seeing more from you.
Here is the most realistic comment that you have ever read here. The bad thing about watching your videos for the people who don't live anywhere near you, try to go and find someone local who has your knowledge and cares about the work they do is damn near impossible. Look I love watching your videos, but I get so discouraged because all I run into are expensive shops that have big loans and only care about the bottom dollar, or people who are learning on customer parts. Sifting through the junk is frustrating and a flat-out waste of time, so my Hawaiian SSP Fox Body has been sitting for two years because I don't trust any of these shops. People like yourself are harder to find anymore and it's sad, I have so much respect for you and your knowledge.
You can always add commentary after you film the video if you think it needs more context. The videos are definitely interesting. I would definitely like to see more of the machinery/fixturing aspects. Also explaining the amount of time spent on the work can help with understanding the effort and quality put into the job. Content on the dog is also a must 👍🏻🐶
That's a pretty sweet tool you made for tapping holes. After watching your videos and your attention to detail it makes me wonder if my engine guy is as meticulous as you are.
…actually,now that I’m thinking about it,A future build coming up with 187 is an LS swap in a Chevelle and considering how Aidens truck went, maybe you could do the engine work and build with the boys at your shop. Take them under your wing and have them do as much work as possible and the complete assembly of it. Take them from cam selection to spring rates,bearing clearance’s and degreeing the engine. That would be great content for both sides and an unbelievable opportunity for both boys. Just a suggestion
Great Video! As a Machinist for over 40 years, it's easy to appreciate your attention to detail and quality work. Its good to see that Larry Meaux, another Old School guy is still in buisness. He ported a set of heads for my street car in the mid 80s, and that engine ran quite well.
nice job Mr Brand lol....for a guy who has been working in the shop by himself forever with nobody lookin over his shoulder, you sure are good at letting us see the process! Thank you for everything!!
This dude is the real deal!
😂
He’s always sorted your shit out chief LOL
I was going to say it would take years to absorb all the knowledge. Understandable about the bits you don't share. Was starting to question what kinda video this was when he was saying when you tap it. 😁😅 TY for sharing. The tediousness is what is necessary to make sure your giving it your all. Very detail oriented.
I love watching and listening to people give knowledge and you don't have to question it.
There's never enough motor content in my opinion. Especially from professionals. Don't worry about us big dawg we just wanna watch you work and learn from it. Thanks for the knowledge.
It doesn't matter how long a person has been into performance engines you can always learn a trick from someone who has been doing it for a while
They truly are man’s best friend, say what you want, they will always be your friend, no matter what! Our dogs!
Man you can tell he takes pride in his work and why chief had always been successful 👏
I was watching and thinking the exact same thing.
It’s nice to see a real machinist share his work
As a cyl head machinist it nice to see a video of a fellow craftsman doing things the right way great video man.
Sadly these old school shops that are doing things the right way, are becoming a thing of the past.
Was still a few vital steps he missed.
Decades of knowledge in 20 minutes. Very cool.
This is the content we've been waiting for. I'd watch you work on any motor. Very educational
I think this was an absolutely great video! Not boring at all. As stated by others, watching a true craftsman at work is almost mesmerizing! Definently looking forward to future content
this man is one of many treasures in the car community
You can always tell a tradesman that's passionate about his work... Gerald's attention to detail is OUTSTANDING! He lets nothing slip by! Great video guy! Keep'em coming!
Can never see to much of a true craftsman, no matter how simple or difficult. Thanks for sharing
Brings back memories of when I was a kid in my uncle's machine shop. I love this stuff! Watching art being made.
Love watching your work! I'm in a different line of work, but when someone asks me why I'm so expensive I tell them You're paying for the 40 years of experience and knowledge I have gained to perform the current job at a higher level. Mesmerizing to watch this stuff!

Nice to see the comfort/confidence at which you perform the task
Love the videos Mr. Gerald! Keep them coming, not too many people show the backside of machine work...
After 40yrs there is just a few things you don’t share 🙏🏽👍🏼
Heck Yes!
They Definitely Weren't Fresh!!!
Excellent video Jackie - G. B.!

Mr.brand is a dying breed. This world needs more people like Mr. Brand is thorough a perfectionist and knowledgeable. Job well done.
Thanks
Awesome.. One man show. I enjoy watching and always learn something even for a 70 year old.. Good job sir...
I always enjoy seeing how you do things,the way you check,repair & set up the workings of an engine. Repairs you have the knowledge & machinery/tooling to make damaged pieces right again interests me. Keep doing what you do,love watching & learning from one of the best!
Nice to see how much work actually goes into the work you do.
You and Chief have been friends for 30yrs and HE DOESNT KNO YOUR NAME EITHER....But your doin a good job speaking to the camera . Keep it up
It’s awesome to see this type of content. Normally you just drop it off at the machine shop and come back when it’s done. It’s great to see the behind the scene magic.
Well Done, Mr. Gerald!!!
I enjoy the hell out of the videos!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put these videos. Machine shop processes are a favorite type of video.
Great Content !!!
From what I have seen you know your stuff.
I think I can learn a lot more from you .thank you sir
I like how you did this edit. Good time, great clear explanations and use of time lapse. And you can't argue with some pup content. 🤘
It's refreshing to have a channel with just a nice dude doing stuff I enjoy to watch.
Thanks
Should have kept the name discussion thing a secret... lol nice work Mr, brand I can see why Mr big chief goes too you sir your one in the same very detail oriented & I like it cause I'm same way when working on my very own things... keep up with videos kind sir and God bless...
much love from the UK loving the new channel and what you do on a daily basis

I totally enjoyed! Keep doing what you do. Puts me at peace watching. Thank you!
Keep doing these videos the same way, Gerald. Most folks don't realize that recon/repair work is a whole 'nother animal than simply building or assembling. Strange things lurk beneath the surface of good-looking pieces. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
You are the difference between a machine shop and an engine machine shop. Getting harder to find an engine machinist. Thank you for sharing.
Are you kidding me, I think what you're doing is awesome.
Old schooling it ! It's what you know and love to do I'm sure.
It's really cool to finally see who you are as we've all heard Chief mentioning your name on more than one occasion.

Your content is beyond informative. I'm sure I speak for all your viewers but learning is not enough. More commentating please. You had my attention from the beginning to end, all the way from the Navajo Nation.
I absolutely loved it.super informative and I will never get bored watching a true craftsman.
Talking to yourself isn't bad but when you argue with yourself it's hard to decide a winner 😂😂 great video
Excellent video Gerald. I used a machine shop and the owner held seven NHRA world records in A/Stock and he was the best but he too didn’t tell you certain things.
How Lambeck been doin?
Jackie’s getting you up to speed quick with this UA-cam thing. Great job on these, interesting as all hell.
Great work Mr.Brand keep them coming.
Not boring at all! Great video
keep doing what you are doing... you are one of the few that actually show how things are done. thanks
Thanks for explaining the process really loved the video and your little plastic bottle chewing girl ❤
Never boring, it’s great just watching you work.
I have a winfield fixture that I use on my head resurfacing machine. Best money I spent. Good content
Nothing better than race car motors and puppies!!!
Always interesting to see a man take pride in his work. Tried to instill the idea of pride in my children and think it has served them well.
Always ready to watch a good machinist do his magic. I worked in an automotive machine shop when I was first starting out, I ended up as an engineer working in boring manufacturing facilities, my first love was always racing engines.
Can't beat a soul who is whole-hearted! Real people, real hearts!
You're doing great on the videos. I just enjoy seeing how things are professionally done. It helps me to understand everything. You can sit and go into detail talking about it, and I will not understand much, but if you show me what you're talking about, I will understand it and retain it. Do you do any Harley head work or cylinder boring?
I can see why Chief takes his motors to you. It's great to watch someone who really cares about the quality of their work. Great job Gerald! Love the pooch too!
Gerald your videos are awesome I'm a pin striper by trade And I've always thought machine work was extremely interesting. Film what you consider interesting and have fun with it
I haven’t seen threaded valve guides in over 20 years. It used to be a big up-sell at a couple machine shops around where I live. One shop used to thread the guides and then put bearings retainer on the seals to keep them from sucking oil. Talk about a pain to remove old seals
Full sending never lifting 😏 🤙 mobbin deep 🙌 knowledge is power 👏 ty for the therapeutic video from life love the vibes
God dam*ed hyrogliphics. Am i supposed to kick a field goal or steal 3rd?
Great video Gerald! Love the instructional videos! Not boring at all!!!👍👍👍👍
This channel is going to end up bigger then Chief and Jackie’s!!! I hope he shits when the add rev starts rolling in and he can enjoy a kickass retirement one day!!
Enjoyed watching your informative video keep up the great work
Nothing more enjoyable than watching a master at work.
Fuck no it isn’t boring!! Man, you don’t have to feel obligated to do a damned thing, I appreciate whatever you’re willing to share. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your world, and your pups day. Please, keep ‘em comin!
Boy's I'll just tell ya, that dog has him trained good.
The videos are not boring. I enjoy watching a craftsman at work.
Awesome video, sir, respect from the UK, a bit more talking please Gerald
Videos like these needs to be seen!!! Machinists are miracle workers & don't get enough credit for what they know & do.
It's a real treat to be able to watch a real master machineist at work. You are doing us all a favor sharing what you can. I used to rebuild all my own heads. My father came up with my name when I was born in 1955 while sharpening valve faces on his K.O. Lee valve grinder.

I always say call me what you want but don’t call me late for supper lol. Great videos
Love these kind of videos, keep them coming.

I blame a lot of it on the vo-tech schools. Most of the people that graduate don't know how to run an manual mill or lathe.🤷♂
Dogs are awesome, we would never made it through the cave man days without them, love the dog! 👍
You can always add commentary after you film the video if you think it needs more context. The videos are definitely interesting. I would definitely like to see more of the machinery/fixturing aspects. Also explaining the amount of time spent on the work can help with understanding the effort and quality put into the job. Content on the dog is also a must 👍🏻🐶
That's a pretty sweet tool you made for tapping holes. After watching your videos and your attention to detail it makes me wonder if my engine guy is as meticulous as you are.
I love this kind of stuff. I could just watch the machines run. Commentary on how and why is just a bonus.
…actually,now that I’m thinking about it,A future build coming up with 187 is an LS swap in a Chevelle and considering how Aidens truck went, maybe you could do the engine work and build with the boys at your shop. Take them under your wing and have them do as much work as possible and the complete assembly of it. Take them from cam selection to spring rates,bearing clearance’s and degreeing the engine.
That would be great content for both sides and an unbelievable opportunity for both boys.
Just a suggestion
Great Video! As a Machinist for over 40 years, it's easy to appreciate your attention to detail and quality work. Its good to see that Larry Meaux, another Old School guy is still in buisness. He ported a set of heads for my street car in the mid 80s, and that engine ran quite well.
This is soo enjoyable and informative, thank you!
