So glad that you are bringing back your car building segments...really missed them because we can tell how happy you are when you are just around cars. Please keep these up! Cheers, Joe
My God, imagine what this man vould accomplish if he had a 50'x100' workshop and he worked YT as his fulltime job...just seeing the console builds I always knew you are an ultra talented man, seeing what you get done is very impressive. Glad I have the privilage of seeing your work.
It’s great to see you building things again! By the way, I can smell the stick welding. I remember having it in the high school and it’s a very distinct smell. Oh the memories.
This is what I'm talking about bithead!! These videos where you do projects are the best in my opinion! They take a lot of time and effort but plz plz plz keep doing them! I love your art! Been watching since happyconsolegamer shouted you out!
Not a bad pick up. Good save. I'd try adding a heavier layer of welding metal and cleaning that first before the counterweights. It's possible the same thing would happen too because the stress on the weld. I like your DIY projects.
Ahh Jessie that's awesome, You now have an itch, Next thing you will be eyeing is a small CNC milling machine, Don't say I didn't warn you, Might need a bigger shed. ;)
17:06 What a disaster. After all that work and time. Nice work recovering it with the weld, and using that gauge was super sharp. I'm looking forward to this series and seeing you fabricate everything from scratch. Are you going to pour and cast a block, or are you going to mill it out of a solid chunk? Oh and... HAPPY FRIKKIN NEW YEAR TO THE BEST VIDEOGAME (and practical engineering) CHANNEL IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION!
Been a very long time follower of this channel and have to say I think your building and car videos are some of my favorites. It's great to see your skills at work and love to see your passion for creating and fixing things!
YES, now this is what I'm talking about. I've been subscribed to your channel since you built that aquarium SNES but honestly I've kindof lost interest in retro computing/gaming since, and actually been really into cars. Funnily enough you're now the second channel who's started making car related content after being more focused on other stuff. Also not that it really matters but I just woke up so I'm not fully conscious yet and for some reason I was convinced you were building an Inline 4 engine until I got to 7:00 (Not that it matters cause simply building any engine in the first place is fucking awesome) But yeah I'll definitely be keeping up with your project and looking forward for future uploads. I'm also glad that you don't spend months editing these as well cause some other youtubers I watch talk about how they spend more time editing than actually working on the project which pisses me off cause I'm impatient. Edit: oh also if you've read this far you planning on making a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke engine? Also also you planning on building the piston yourself? That'd be on hell of a fucking task.
I have no interest in cars, but if BitHead is involved, I'M IN! BitHead could make doing his taxes entertaining. May your New Year be filled with Jack & Coke's and 100K subscribers!
This fucking guy is unstoppable! He looked like he was going to to keel over during the Christmas special and here he is setting the tone once more. Horray!, Hooray for BitHead1000! 2025 the breakthrough year for the show!
When the part broke on the lathe my stomach churned because I envisioned the off balance part flying at you. Glad you are okay and were able to save the part. Can't wait for thr next installment.
I really enjoyed this and it takes me back to the years I spent making stuff on a Colchester lathes triumph 2000. I moaned constantly about the dirt, cuts, cold, dust and trips to the hospital to remove pieces of metal from the eyes but looking back, it was the best job I ever had. A real good laugh and it's very satisfying making something too. Genius use of the angle grind at the start. I thought, " here we go, an hours worth of hacksawing" 😂. Hope you get it finished before the shed burns down 😉 What's the run out of each end of the shaft relative to each other?
What many don't know is that shed has a trap door leading to a fallout shelter. During WW3, everything will be irradiated but BitHead will be underground playing roms.
What a save on the broken weld, you should have put a little bit of a bevel on the throw and the shaft where you welded it so you could have lathed it smooth and it wouldnt break but still a great save
Jesse's going Allen Millyard in 2025, I like it. Who says the best video game channel with a 4K face can't become an engine and machining channel...reminds me that when I get home I have an LQ4 6L iron block to build for my '04 GTO T-56 car...once I get a dial bore indicator and test the consistency of the bores, I can make my decision about having it machined over or not, then test the decks on the two sets of heads I have and decide if I want to have them milled or order a set of remanned heads from ebay. Once I figure that out I will either buy some 4" flat top replacement pistons, gen IV rods and donwhat I can to balance them up with the stock crank. Otherwise the temptation to get some forged 4.030" pistons and 6.1" or 6 125" forged rods and maybe even a 4" crank or an entire 408 stroker kit will cross my mind then the snowballing will begin...it would probably just be best to stick with a 364-370ci with rectangle port 821/832 heads, LS3 intake, 90mm tb, the 1.75" long tubes already in the car and if I don't re-use the Elgin 228/230 .585/.585 112 cam I already have, I will go with something much more stout, with flycuts or valve relifs in the pistons, I can either make sure the pistons are zero decked or use a set of 0.027" Cometic MLS headgaskets I already have and shoot for 11.0-11.6:1 compression, new LS7 lifters, trays, Melling oil pump, head bolts and a Howards 0.650" lift valve spring kit. It's best to keep 364-370ci and recports to to keep the torque down a little at lower rpms so my T-56 and stock IRS rear has a chance of living and I should still be able ti hit 550-600hp depending on the cam, usually a 6.0 like that hits 450-500whp. Thankfully I dont have emissions of inspection in TN so I am golden, I could run a single plane and a carb if I felt like it or turbo a 4.8/5.3 with Holley Terminator X. I really don't need more than 500whp, it's never going to be a racecar, I just want it to be fun, usable, street car, that is roomy, comfortable and very stealthy looking.
The return of the greatest car program in the history of human civilization?! I’M IN!!!!!
Fuck yea!
That's gonna be an incredibly tiny car.
yessir

Dude, you made my day. I've really missed your automotive content.
Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video Jesse !!! 🙂
That was an awesome watch lots of fun, thanks for sharing!
I love these types of videos. Awesome job. Keep them coming.
go Jessie go!
Holy shit. I'm leaving my shop to you in my will, you'll make better use of it than I can. Reshpektah.
Dude, I work in a machine shop and I'm impressed!
Christmas special, back to back, with an engine special.
Going for it Jess
I have no clue on this type of work your doing but its bloody entertaining to watch 🙏🏽Ya never know i might learn something lol
Wow, man... fuggin amazing!! That repair was SO bad ass, jeeezis, dude!!
The car show 2.0 true hand craftsmanship at its best I'm in also
It’s great to see you building things again! By the way, I can smell the stick welding. I remember having it in the high school and it’s a very distinct smell. Oh the memories.
You're the only MoFo that could possibly get me into car shit. But I have to say, machining over all is pretty bad ass.
cant wait for more of the dulcid tones of bitheads machine shop..its like bithead asmr!!!
Great video, Yessie!
This is what I'm talking about bithead!! These videos where you do projects are the best in my opinion! They take a lot of time and effort but plz plz plz keep doing them! I love your art! Been watching since happyconsolegamer shouted you out!
Same here. During the Turbo Mini discussion. You really should have consulted Bithead, Konami! Would have loved the Shooterbox mini
Class is in. For those of us who never got to take a shop class, these videos are a service.
Goddamn I missed this type of content from you. Please don't quit.
I'm in, baby!
As a patrion sub, I approve these purchases.
We are paying for these purchases...and I love it.
Good to see our contributions working in real time for enjoyment & education 😊
I just tuned into the greatest engineering and fabrication program in the history of human civilization.
I know nothing about cars. What I do know is if bithead is working on one, IM IN!
I love this so much. Thank you Bithead. I need to sub to the patreon this year
So freakin cool man. Been curious as hell about this since you first mentioned it on an episode.
How it's Made : BitHead1000 Edition
Seriously awesome content man, you're quite the craftsman, Happy New Year! 🍻
Absolutely stellar entertainment right here...
So glad to see the car show back! You can really see and hear the joy when you work on cars.
My heart sank near the end there, but what a save!
Love this kind of content
Not a bad pick up. Good save. I'd try adding a heavier layer of welding metal and cleaning that first before the counterweights. It's possible the same thing would happen too because the stress on the weld. I like your DIY projects.
Yeah, I left the weld thicker the second time around not pretty …we’ll see if it holds up
More of these videos please. Love it
What a rollercoaster of emissions …. Satisfying as heck!. Loving this my OCD gland was popping.
The MacGyver1000 Show. I'm In! Happy New Year you mad genius.
I love these types of videos. Looking forward to watching the entirety of this series. Happy New Years Bithead!
What a great way to start the year, I'm in.
Coming from someone who watched the “Russian Lathe Incident” video last week- be careful around that thing, Bithead! We need you to make it to 2026.
Sip of coffee for the guy who grinds w/o clamps. True 80s 90s craftsman thank you sir Bithead !!!
Awesome work!
Dude I'm so happy for you for the new acquisition of the lathe!
You're a modern day Renaissance man!
Awesome video, can’t wait for the next in this series.
And so, it begins...
Bithead1000 starting new projects in the New Year.
The best to you and your family and all this year and channel brings!
Ahh Jessie that's awesome,
You now have an itch, Next thing you will be eyeing is a small CNC milling machine, Don't say I didn't warn you, Might need a bigger shed. ;)
2025, the year of the machine shop! Really happy to see how the new year is starting. 😁👍👍
Wow, not the genre I was expecting. Skills!
you're quit talented my friend
So happy to see it tapped back in at the end
What you manage to create in that little 8x10 is truly amazing!

Love it. Your enthusiasm and curious mind makes it a good watch. Yessie....dont let a certain someone borrow the new lathe.

Any time I see a BitHead1000 video in my recommendeds, it's a gift. Happy New Year!!!
Phenomenal video!! I’m so excited for this series.
You’re a legend, man!
Another build show wooohooooo!
What a way to start off the new year! New tools and new projects! I'm in baby! Happy New Year Jessie!
Really enjoyed this video , can’t wait to see more
Been waiting for this style video to return!
I need Bithead1000 on my team during the apocalypse
1:04
Rover brand landmines.
19:11 oh Nelly 😂
Happy new year Bithead and happy anniversary for the show tomorrow!(January 2nd unless I'm mistaken.)
Happy New Year and thanks for the reminder!
This guy is building parts from scratch and I'm scratching my ass. I'm really excited for you man, don't really care if that's corny or what
That's some skill right there.
Bithead project video? I'm in.
Man, it will be so awesome if you take the engine to completion. I know bupkis about what you’re doing but I’m inspired to learn.
Great video. Can’t wait for the rest of this series
When the part broke on the lathe my stomach churned because I envisioned the off balance part flying at you. Glad you are okay and were able to save the part. Can't wait for thr next installment.
Incredible, as always!
BitHead1000 at works !
Awesome work! Full redemption was epic. Happy new year 🌊✨🌊
Hell yeah 👍👍
Awesome stuff here, that fix you did with the gauge - where'd you learn that? I don't even know what that gauge device is, but I want one now.
10 minutes in and a few whiskeys in me i said to myself…… “2025…… its the year of the lathe baby” AAAAHM IIIINNNN! ❤🎉😂
What a fun watch! But it also made me realize I'm a lazy piece of crap. Great work!
I really enjoyed this and it takes me back to the years I spent making stuff on a Colchester lathes triumph 2000. I moaned constantly about the dirt, cuts, cold, dust and trips to the hospital to remove pieces of metal from the eyes but looking back, it was the best job I ever had. A real good laugh and it's very satisfying making something too.
Genius use of the angle grind at the start. I thought, " here we go, an hours worth of hacksawing" 😂.
Hope you get it finished before the shed burns down 😉
What's the run out of each end of the shaft relative to each other?
What many don't know is that shed has a trap door leading to a fallout shelter. During WW3, everything will be irradiated but BitHead will be underground playing roms.
I love these kinds of videos.
YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A CAR.
Bithead: "No, no I wouldn't."
fascinating video❤
15:35 shed almost becomes a bonfire 😂
Welcome to the new year BIT!!!!!
"OMG, I broke da fuckin weld" Comedy gold right here boys!
I enjoyed this a lot I’m not sure why maybe because I’m feeling your having a good time doing it , awesome video bud !!
I just ate 3 Cadbury eggs in your honor, sir.
Happy New Year Boss!
What a save on the broken weld, you should have put a little bit of a bevel on the throw and the shaft where you welded it so you could have lathed it smooth and it wouldnt break but still a great save
Fucking awesome!
Let's Gooo! I'm in
I'm curious to see how this series plays out. Thanks for mixing up the content a bit.
happy new year 🎆
He's over here now! He was over there.....now he's over here! Dats a professional!
Omg this is gonna be amazing to watch! I love when you do videos like this just as much as your regular videos. All of it is so damn good.
My grandpa was a machinist. This takes me instantly back to his workshop. Thank you Jesse, and Happy New Year!
Whatever happened to the project car that sat out on the street?
There is a different one out there
