Hey Kevin, it's always great to watch one of your videos to start off the morning. I just wanted to say that as a fellow dad, you driving back home on a race weekend for a fun run is awesome to see. Cars are for now, family is forever. Great job man.
1)Family and loved ones
2)your health
3)Time
The 3 most precious things in life. Lose em, and you can never get them back.
I appreciate your willingness to show us that you made a mistake. I think it goes to show that even masters of a craft still mess up, and that's encouraging! In some cases, they're opportunities to learn and grow, but this I feel like is an opportunity to teach. You're doing great work, Kevin!
10/10 for honesty, 10/10 for Sharing, 10/10 for having a great attitude. Keep going!!
That's was my crew with the trans on Sick Week. The dip stick and trans shield wouldn't fit the car easily so we swapped the pump to get back in the game. Your generosity and help was very appreciative, he ended up 4th in class.
Heck yeah!!! Took me a while to finally put it back together, lol
Single dad of 3 here myself. And totally agree, no idea how i get done what i get done. I just do until good things happen.
Seeing you pushing is motivation for many of us to push too.
Ksr for all the wins this weekend!!!! New helicopter owner, and 1st in rivals!
Breathe Man and stop beating yourself up. You're a good person and a highly skilled technician, a great driver and a great Dad too. I raised my daughter and she taught a man things no man or woman could. Sometimes in order to have it all we've got to leave it all in the ring in the last round. Keep up the great work man. ❤
What I found works good on cleaning pistons. It's mixing simple green with Dawn 4x, putting it in a pot on the stove, bringing up just under a boiling letting then soak the pistons in the dawn X4/ simple Green pot for about 45 minutes and a lot of the carbon will just flake right off when you start cleaning. It's softens the carbon up nicely.
Seriously, Kevin.. thanks for all the work this kind of presence on you tube takes!! don't burn out.. ask around for an editor... i know, i know... you know how it's supposed to go, but DELEGATE, damnit!!
Right on, sound advice and I share your concern for the Kevin.
There’s good hard work and there’s spreading yourself thin, it’s a fine line between the two.
👍
Matt also teaches us to heat the balancer up with a torch, and it will fall right on. I've done it on many many balancers now and it works mint
Thats the spirit Kevin! Keep your head up, rethink your attitude and keep on truckin!
@22:27 you have a ghost in the shop, that drawer opens up on its own!
Casper is a car guy, haven't you heard?
The ghost knew Kevin was on a time crunch and was just trying to help
20:23.
21:01
Sometimes we do these things even though we know better. That makes us human. You still the man!
Nothings ever easy, well done Kevin AND the super crew.
I wonder if a heavy application of WD would prevent tire mess on fenders . Nice spray down right before headin out. Heck, thin lexan with magnets glued to em. slap er right on there
Don't you just love how hindsight is 20/20 & being blind in one eye & not seeing out of the other & at 52, I'm finding myself suffering from CRS.🤭🤭
Ah damn!!! The Ole impact will get ya everytime!
Just sending some love your busy guys' way! Keep grinding away KSR!
Thanks for your hard work, Kev. It takes a special breed🤙🏼
Good video, glad you have time to spend with your children. Take all of the time with them, they will be grown soon. love the videos.
Kevin, It takes a real man to own up to mistakes, share frustrations and show that the battles we fight every day are not always external. Thank you for being real!
Kevin you did so well to not give up. We can hear your telling us as the audience that we are not to give up in tough times also. Your UA-cam channel is at the top of my favourites list. Come visit in NZ Ill take care of you. Rex
Thank you for the video and dam looonnnnngggg week for you all
Im a member of the "just another 1/2 turn with a bigger bar on the wrench" either snap or threads pulled... Said 1 second before I shouldn't do this but....live and hopefully learn.
Great work Kevin and thank you for sharing and keep up the hard work it’s all going to pay off.
Kevin and guys have a amazing week Rock on🔥👍😁💪🏼
In the early 70s I auto crossed a '66 Sunbeam Alpine (2nd overall in the state of Colorado). The engine could rev over 7k rpm (yes, it was balanced) and was a daily driver. Every 500 miles or so I would replace the rod bearings because the 1725 cc and earlier engines would throw #3 rod. I cannot understand why so many of these professionally built engines blow up and the mechanics are NOT replacing the bearing inserts frequently. A year ago my Ford F-250 460 blew out a block heater and the engine got hot. I made repairs, changed the oil, opened up the filter to find NO metal, and sent the old oil out for analysis (came back OK).
When I make the wrong decision, and it cost me in any way to the negative, I own it,witch you did,and I learn from it,and you did too. We can't expect much more,so don't beat yourself up,and I love the fact that you make sure you don't forget your dad duties
If you have it still, take the 🏁 My son andI gave ya in Bristol! You could use some extra luck! ❤
Best of luck in the F500 Champ! Lets Goooooo! ✌🇦🇺
KSR FOR THE WIN !!!!!!! Good Luck Kevin !!!
Good luck buddy. Go get you a chopper!! And show the boys you don't need a 50k car to do well in the burnouts!!
I'm glad I waited a while before commenting on the video. I had some negative stuff to say but now I don't have the heart to say them after the crank problem. Everybody makes mistakes and probably truth be told it usually involves their own stuff. Hang in there.
Hi Kevin with KSR, I just stumbled onto your episode today and noticed how hard you work and did a all nighter to keep business rolling. Your Daughter I bet is proud of her Dad for the effort he makes to ensure he'll be able to attend the fund drive. Kevin I wish all the best of luck this weekend you deserve a chance to win some fam and hopefully Fortune.
Kevin, number one, a mistake is nothing. It's what you do with it that counts. Number two, you get out what you put in. Well you recovered and worked hard and made a success. I hope the car performs as well for you as the team did working to a conclusion. Regards, Stephen.
Good luck Kevin!!!
Damn Kevin! What kind of racecar mechanic are you!?
I would have just welded that balancer to the crank and threw some rtv in the front.
Some people's kids!😂
"The risk of being a starter is being taken out by a rod." ... and my '06 Sonata I had agrees, chucked cylinder 4's rod ventilating the block, and took out the starter.
lol
Sometimes those thrown together engines just plain WORK!!
Engine sounds amazing, good luck,have fun,be safe
Excellent work gentlemen and best of luck to you this weekend hopefully you will have a helicopter soon!
Inspirational brother! keep on trucking Kevin
Berrymans b12 works really good for a piston soak. Takes that crap off fast but you have to have real good gloves. I’ve also used baking soda in my sand blaster. That rips it fast as well, BUT lots of rinsing after
It does sound real healthy good work with the crew too!!!
We’ve all been there…
Seeing you go through what we have all done makes us feel better… lol.
KEVIN, THAT WAS BAD LUCK AT THE FREEDOM 500.....I SAW IT BEFORE I SAW THIS! GET THE ENGINE DONE, BURN OUT, BEAT UP THE COMPETITION, BE HAPPY!
ALSO, because of my savory past, I am a BIG BAD PIT BULL DADDY! THEY ARE AS GOOD OR BAD AS AN EIGHT YEAR OLD FOR THEIR WHOLE LIVES(8 TO 17 YEARS OLD) ..... I have since mended my nefariously notorious ways.....nothing like being loved by your doggie daughter , or kids.....happy father's day, EVERYDAY, KEVIN
....Great Job KSR Crew....
a two hr job is just one bolt away from being a two day job, might as well build it at this point, good work keven vary interesting
KSRA Kevin Smith Racing Around. Will be easier with the new helicopter 😮😮😅
congrats on 300k subs,keep up the good content as always
Great video Kevin! Hey, we've all made bone-head mistakes, sleep deprivation, urgency, etc. all are contributing factors. She sounds awesome so stay safe and have fun this weekend!
Always great too see you in your element! Kick some butt Kevin!
I took a pause to listen to Change your mind at the 15 minute mark just to get your full meaning. Great song, and a great positive influence
It is one of my favorites!!
Been there Kevin. Start off with a, I don't care project and before it's over you have done most of the work you would have on a much better motor and emptied out the shelves to do it. I may have not had all the rings but most are better than none. I am surprised you just didn't weld in a stud for the broken crank bolt. It only had to last a couple minutes. 😁😁
I reeeeaaaallly considered tapping the end of the crank with a larger bolt and running with it, sure would have saved me a ton of work for such a bleh result.
I'm not sure if you're looking at it this way but you're breaking off that bolt with an actual blessing in disguise
Ouch Kevin! 😅 but hopefully we will see you doing some beautiful burnouts and listening to that little 5.3 sing 8000!!!
OOOPPPSSS!! Hey, breaking a crank bolt stinks but if anybody can pull this off it is Kevin @ KSR Performance! Another thrash that shows what KSR can do!!! Great job team!! Also, the example you set being a dad is AWESOME!! Family first!! Great Video!!
I love how good that header are up sounds!! Gonna do a similar set up under my 350z with a 5.3 ls! Gonna be sick!! Have fun Kevin!!
Go easy Kevin,if I only have 2 major screw ups before I’m done with my morning coffee it’s a good day!
Hey Kev, great job. Kev you can really drive a race car. Thank you!!!
just make cleet or heavyD fly you to and from gainsville in your new helicopter you're going to win. ;)
Perfect idea 🎉
He lost and he's a sore loser. Ridiculous he needs to grow up and stop acting like a child
Good luck, Kevin. I will be watching!
Great job guys! Good luck this weekend 😊
Hope you have a comfy couch in the office. Power naps are important too.
Cool, I remember kimber from his rx7 days, haven't heard his name in a while, glad he had a spare crank.
SoccerMom is his Camaro! Will and I are a part of the team with him on it! The ole girl has come a loooong way!!
@KSRPerformanceFabrication I remember he had a camaro, didn't realize this was it, I have his old centerline rims on my cutlass lol. Greatness!
Hey kev. Hey when you think about it. Now you will show up with an engine that is good instead of an engine that was going to blow lots of smoke and not run right and most likely shit itself on the pad. That would not have looked good for your business. Every one knew that the last engine was a junker. And they would have known that this one was going to be too. But a god sent that you broke that bolt. Because now you have some kind of rebuilt engine. Still stock but some good bits that will help the poor old girl. Cain hard lad. Can’t wait to see you win. Patt from Outta Control Racing.
Way to power through Kevin. Stay safe driving to/from Bradenton with such little sleep! 😵💫
Hehe best sounding LS manifold. Pity about the bolt drama but only one night's worth of hours wasted to recover.
Great content as always. Wishing you a great visit to the FF. Hope you win the copter 😊
The old adage holds true, haste makes waste.
Dang it. Ouch. Keep going Kevin!
Kick ass Kevin. Go win it.
Good luck this weekend :)
Good luck Kevin in the most important race, the father/daughter race.
At times like this with the crank, I just say "I'm not a hack but I do hack things."
I knew better!!
What a bummer, the rods hitting the starter comment made me laugh. You know you got issues when that’s happening!!
KSR FTW
We all make mistakes. You never hide them, Kudos for that 👍👍👏👏
I love that duce!!
Congrats on 300k Subs Kevin, well deserved. Ready to watch you guys rip on stream tonight.
Good stuff ....good content and thanks 👍... and good luck
Oh, Kevin...😂😂😂
Problems ????? What problems Kev 😊
Nice work all !!!
Engine sounds great! Hope all goes well at the Freedom Factory!
Man that 8-1 pipe sounds so awsome! Thank you for the great content, and good luck on the fd500!!! Greatings from Norway and Godspeed!
oh damn, hell we all all tried pulling the last little bit in with impact... have never broke a crank bolt, YET... shit happens!! it happens
Sounds like more work!
you can tell kevins been inside that transmission a few times and the LS lol good times will be had 😋😋😋. don't be to hard on yourself kevin we all have done it if we have done it in are sleep .
There’s 8 more cars coming from Australia over the next few months so you’re in for a treat. Current Summernats champion lynchy, plus CLIKB8, SKIDMA are just a few on the way
Random question......
What's the Octane rating Down under??
Germany 103
Uk 99
US low 90's
Seen quite a few UA-camrs Burn Pistons in America recently 😱😱
Dude I had to look up the band but realized that I knew them all along so glad you mentioned them I had to go listen to a lot of the songs but am now back to watching you it took me way back to like high school and around that time so glad you mentioned them and ya I've had to change my way of thinking here lately it's been a long hard road to get where I am now thanks for the memories
Crazy how music can do that right??
Awsome have fun
I screwed up for the first time in a while, got in a hurry and bent one rail on my gapless ring set because I was in a hurry and couldn't find my good valve spring compressor and used the cheap one that sucked. Now I have to wait for shipping for a piston and rings. We all do dumb occasionally
Don't beat yourself up for the broken crank bolt. Things happen, and they're unavoidable. It's great to see the burnout car back up and running. Hopefully, this go-around goes better than the last one, but that engine carnage was epic. Best of luck in the race. Here's to hoping you bring home the helicopter!
Dang that thing sure sings! Looking forward to tonight's live stream, good luck man!
Good cleaning tip get at least a 10 liter ultrasonic cleaner fill it with your favorite degreaser it will literally eat the oil junk out of the ring lands and anything left will easily brush off and look brand new
And some of those degreasers will happily take care fo the pistons too. I've seen some citrus based degreasers start to fume when it came into contact with aluminium.
Thanks for the video and good luck
Well sir, even with the risk of catastrophe working with mechanical devices, it's still better than working with the public on the daily. I don't wish that on anyone. Just leave me alone to break a few parts. I'm good.
I like the wheel paint on the 78 car, looks like 22"s
Love how the guys all take a step back when you’re gonna start the engine’
Great content thanks for sharing
Good luck Tonight. Hope you win
