Don't fold to people who want something for nothing. Im a novice car guy and have tons of questions but I realize that knowledge cost to accumulate! Its nice to answer questions if you have time and, on the fly, but when you are taking time out of work to answer emails, phone calls ect. you deserve compensation.
Nothing wrong with charging $25 for a question. I'd get calls all day and not see but maybe 2 to 3 a week actually come through the door to spend money with me. I quit answering phones and left word in the answering voice-mail to send $25 and I'd give my undivided attention for an hour. It wasn't fair to all the other's waiting at home for their cars to be finished while I was occupied giving advice or writing estimates over the phone. Free products or not Eric, time is money.
Lol was going to ask a question but I will email you in hopes I am chosen. I am a nonprofessional (disabled) aspiring machinist & long-time watcher but cannot member due to cost. I get what you are doing and why. Even though I do heads for family, friends & associates it cannot be done for free. Equipment and tooling cost money as dose the electricity. The parts washer cost me a estimated 35$ just to get it up to temp to wash lol. I have spent 5 years collecting machine equipment 2 surfacing mills a seat& guide machine valve machine and flywheel grinder and a wash cabinet. Due to disability's, I will never be a professional, but I will always enjoy working with Heads. Someday I will be able to acquire block equipment. When my circumstances change membership will be my first consideration
If the afr enforcers are dual drilled for vortec and standard intakes wouldn't that mean the runners are raised like factory vortec heads makes me wonder if that was a part of of the bad port match victor jr performance on the dyno mule with port alignment like you said
I've watched all the updates on Eric's son and his swim competitions, Bishop is a very level headed and self-disciplined young man in my estimation. He'll do fine with that engine.
Cool update and nice testing i know i sound like a broken record but can't wait to see those testings. I do have a video idea since you do updates on dyno and your sons swimming. I have a idea on customers stuff i say every 2 weeks or whatever do a update tour on your shop on customers to help us customers and help you so you get less phone calls on hey how far are you behind and hows my stuff coming. You kinda see what i mean to help both you and customers. And will also be more content for views being like ooo look at that hes got 20 heads and 20 intakes to do man look at all the heads and intake. I don't know i thought it would help
You should try to collaborate with others on YT to grow ur channel. Engine builds, drag drive guys, cleetus type. Im sure you've heard this before but I think your channel should be 100k plus. You give real world knowledge that helps us backyard mechanics and more experienced racers , I hope you grow cuz that money helps to make more vids, maybe a dyno...Thanks. More truck at track burning tires and times.

You are probably right.

I haven’t seen an email with a question
Eric, if or when you have to choose, these are the people to help. They're in the trenches with us, and we know what it was like starting out.
You get all your projects done on schedule and we're gonna have to reconsider the super Man status 😊
At this point I’m needing some help from the man upstairs

Not necessarily
Thank you. I'm grateful for the free you tube videos. Been a big fan since the Engine masters contest began, yes that long. Lol
Thank you so much
Thank you.
Just ordered my book. I kept saying I need to preorder, meant to preorder and didn’t.
And then I watch this video. Anyway I ordered my book. 👍👍
Thanks for the order
Like to see what you can do with the promax head vs the afr385 with an all out Port Job
I do plan to port the promaxx so that should be fun.
I’m here and watched it all. Thanks 👍 appreciate the issue addressing at the start.
Im looking forward to the LS testing. Maybe you can see if BTR would provide you with a pair of their Cleveland style LS3 heads.
It would be nice but I doubt it.
WHOA! WHAT? A canted valve LS3 head....I like that. I gotta see this.....Brian better have em
Thats to much power for teenager. Unless he is very disciplined. Teenage boys lead foot. Think back
I've watched all the updates on Eric's son and his swim competitions, Bishop is a very level headed and self-disciplined young man in my estimation. He'll do fine with that engine.
He will do fine.

Many of the customers projects are top secret and can not talk about. Kind of sucks because it is some my most advanced things.
@@WeingartnerRacing oh got it ok good point thanks for letting me know
The AFR small bores ever show up for the 408 LS testing?
Not yet. Hopefully this week.
I swear you just said two weeks ago that swim season is over! How long does it last? 52 weeks! Dang.
They go for about 10months out of the year.
Can you port iron heads
No, he doesn't.
Thank you for the 3rd book can't wait to see them
Eric Weingartner, do u ever see the edge of a valve protruding the deck surface when seated? Is that a bad thing?
Yes. It not necessarily a bad thing.

I don’t know who I would collaborate with.
