omg you guys are the best!! so many amazing comments and so many new viewers every week....thank you, from the bottom of my heart!! You guys make this so much more enjoyable and we are having a blast! Ps. Im trying to get caught up on as many comments as i can, but dude....almost 900 comments in a couple of hours holy moly...ima get carpel tunnel lol
especially cause you type with your pointer fingers 😅
@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto haha thats that's way some do it now .lol😎 I think it's part time on my end .
@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto that’s how we roll! 😎
U said a lubricant in your water ..like what kind of lubricant cuz I never heard of doing that and I'm interested in learning that
I officially changed the chief and Jackie show with American list
I can't speak for the other people but I've been racing just a little bit less time than chief and I 100% would rather watch the content on this channel with Jackie and Justin just being themselves and bringing us along on the day-to-day and especially on the test hits and everything else with that.. it's so much more real and relatable than what TV pushes to people nowadays.. Plus your humor together comes out great on camera and makes me laugh my ass of every video at some point
thank you!!!! we love hearing that stuff, and i think we gonna look for a fun race that fits the vette or gto so we can get out of the shop a little bit while we wait on her engine to come back
Absolutely agree. I was just gunna type the same thing. I have said this before, but this is like the beginning years of the show. A peer into the real lives of real street shit. This is what the show isn't anymore.
Now to go check out the dicussion with Mr Limpy. Two of the guys we used to idolize growing up on the old forum days. Now I can talk to them. It's wild.
Keep doing your thang Chief. Like I said in the past, I think you will find plenty of opportunities without the show. Maybe even more.
@@justinshearer3016 of course man keep it up ... y'all are killing the content we want to see
I am SOOOOOOOOO incredibly grateful that you have created this platform! I am also incredibly grateful to see you both so much more relaxed and less stressed now... and that you both seem so much happier since "retiring" from the discovery. I am truly sorry to see how bad the motor actually was, but thankful Jackie didn't find out under power. I pray the repairs will nit take 4 or 5 weeks, and that the final outcome will be north of 1100hp. I now look forward to Tuesday evenings... without discovery, and being able to see the true Chief and Jackie show. Much love from upstate NY.🙏💜
I like how respectful you guys are to that engine builder. Guy seems to know his stuff! Great content! Thanks for the videos! These are definitely full of great information!
You disrespect that man he’ll tell you to screw off down the road and find another machine shop trust me
Just wanna say , big support to chief an Jackie . Chief you have an will always be my all time favorite Street outlaw! So thankful youguys make UA-cam content . You are a racing genius and legend !
thank you!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I wish I could give this comment 1000 likes!
Agree...and Icon
@@timothynalley7802 appreciate that !
wow thank you!!!
Jackie nailing the intros every week
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Best channel ever showing Jackie going thru what most of us have been thru buying other man's build used. Chief nice always positive! Thank you for Sharing!😀🇺🇸
Man, this was incredibly informative. Thanks for taking the time to post this analysis.
We have officially replaced Taco Tuesday with the Chief & Jackie Show. We still eat tacos it’s just less important 😂
we love tacos so its the perfect pair
That's almost a sin 🤣 but I would too
Still not officially Tuesday till chief am Shawn are podcasting from the meth shack.
Og listener #3
I mean who doesn’t like tacos. That’s borderline treason 😂
Eat the tacos while watching Jackie and chief!!
Watching Chief vibe with his machine guy Gerald was a spiritual experience.
i am dying 😂
@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto Oh c'mon ... you gonna tell me that a 1000 + hp motor singing out on dyno or street isn't music to your ears? I know it is or you wouldn't do what you do! 😁
Now I'm not much on religion but I do know the good book says to "...make a joyful noise unto the Lord..." and in my interpretation a hi pony engine does exactly that.
A man that builds those engines would be akin to a priest in that case... so Chief and Gerald's conversation was essentially a quick bible study if you will...
Yes... I stretched the hell outa that analogy...🥨
(I'm a coarse old bastard and this was meant purely in humor... just in case I come off like an ass...)
dude she edited out alot of it lol....sometimes i think me and gerald are soul mates
@@Loki13M Same here Nothing like a big HP NA engine turning up under a load.
@@justinshearer3016 I kinda figured she did lol, no way you get out of a machine shop with a 10 min convo. 😁
Guessing it was closer to an hour if not more... that hansome pup got a lota scratches and belly rubs.
But the time factor plays into the whole spiritual thing nicely!
And I totally missed the 'Sunday Services' races as part of my earlier argument... damn!
Thank you for explaining your findings in such detail. I hope that more of that content will be in future shows.
Nice one bruva.just watched Limpy interview..best down to earth conversation we all wanted to hear.. thanks for getting back to me and as always just keepin it REAL.we all respect Y'all in Oz made the movement in drag racing industry.Big thanks to Jackie too for all the support and awesome editing 💯❤️🇦🇺🤙
Man I am so glad Big Chief and Jackie are making videos like this. I enjoy watching and getting to learn new things everytime. Thanks y'all are awesome together. Can't wait until y'all are making hits.
Sorry this happened to Jackie but it was a good thing you found out it had problems before you sent it. Love the content you two are awesome keep up the good work 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
It will probably make 790hpon dyno
Just wanted to thank you for all of this. I enjoy watching real stuff.
Very happy that Big C is off the strings which control everything. Do what ya love and keep it real like you do now. Can wait to see you guys race. Cheers a fan from Malaysia🇲🇾 !!
So proud for you both. Y’all just spent a ton of money. Drove 12 hours or more each way for that blown up motor but you both seem happier and like the world ain’t on your shoulders anymore
I like how Y’all are taking it back to the the basics of where this whole deal started. If You street be street, if You ain’t be ain’t💯
yaaa buddy!
I'll start out by saying I'm a 67 year old who can't even spell Facebook or Instagram. What I know about you and Jackie,I've learned from the show over the years and the videos. That could have been me at Elk's machine shop in Newark,Ohio back in the 70's. Even though I own Brand X ( bigger cu.in. Windsor in a fox-body Thunderbird),the videos nail it. Helpful and great reminders in what needs done.
You two are great together. That seems to me to be something you can't fake in a video. You guys took a stand,be proud of that. It's obvious their are honorable people on the show and some who are not. A friend of mine told me long ago that, we're not here for a long time,we're here for a good time. Continue to be honest with yourselves,it will show everyone who cares to look who you and Jackie really are.
Ok, the race is on Jackie. I was feeling a bit down today...Long story but here goes.
I am 65 in 2.5 months. Last time I raced my NHRA slowest of the slow class car was 1997, and it was sitting in the garage ever since, looked like a barn find. You folks, SRC, Old Man Bill, and others motivated me to do it. Started on Jan. 10th, 2022. Car was mis- classified in 1994 (GF/SA), in Stock Eliminator, but at 2,763 lbs. (25.00 per HP X 110+170 driver/gear), but still ran under the Index, not far under, but under.
Ran full time traveling in 1995, not that competitive, but still won class a few times, or class finalist a few others just missing. Ran part time in 96, and 97...Young kids at home, so parked it. They are long out of college now. Car is a 1984 Dodge Daytona, head had only been off the block ever once in 1995, no machine work ever performed on any part of the matching numbered stock pcs., and my Mom bought the car new in 1984 (was not worth spending the cash for the pcs/machine work at the HP on a heavy slow sled, at the HP they claimed I had.
I contested in Dec. Of 95. NHRA redid the car/ engine combo and approved it in Feb. 96, reducing the claimed HP 11 percent. (I told you it was a slow sled...Worst class combination ever produced...From 110 H.P. down to 99 H.P....Where it originally belonged). So, now the math is much better 99 X 25.00 Lbs.+170=Target Wt. 2,475.00 Lbs. Diet of 300 Lbs. Heavy rules limit of where that weight comes off though per Stock Elim. Rules.
Took a 10 day garage and full house cleanup (Jan. 2, 2022), to free up the garage space, set car up on skates, exterior cleaned (Car looks real again), drained out 1 gal 13 yr. Old Sunoco Purple 110 race gas into clean clear dry water jug,, smelled right, looked perfectly clear though more red than purple, no sediment,...Broke out the breaker bar, turned the crank bolt easy as pie about 3 revolutions, added a lil coolant, charged up a 13 yr. old battery, it charged fully!
Pulled the coil wire, cranked it a good 3 mins. to get oil throughout the block. And fired it up for about 4 mins while I checked fluids, and blew out a lot of carbon and exhaust system rust, and just got some heat in the bolts,, to make teardown easier. Ran like it was never parked 13 yrs.
Started the dieting of the car first, and then started engine disassembly, cleaning and painting, long block pcs. as they came off were cleaned 1 pc at a time, then painted up all laid out on tables. While the Car was painted exterior in 96, and the interior was fully redone then too, the engine bay was still the original silver. (It is Black Caliper Ceramic now!)
Head was removed (looked a lot like yours, minus the head lifting, mine was sealed well, but 93,000 miles of carbon, and coolant with mixed metals causes scale buildup), I also thought it looked bad!
I sent the head to Georgia from N. W. AZ, w/ head gasket removed, an extra cam and cam gear, valve cover, and last 4 sets of plugs run in the engine. Expected the worst, and was highly surprised when it returned 2 weeks ago. All valve seats were fine and tight, all the guides were fine, all the valves were true and machineable. New Springs, upgraded valve guide seals, a 3 angle competition valve job (and I can tell it will breathe now that I could get a pinkie between an open valve that I could not do when it left here), a tiny bit of erosion in chamber 1...(Nothing I can do about that as we cannot touch the combustion chamber areas whatsoever). New slider rockers, new Upgraded PT hyd. lifters w/ shims, and a mild surfacing. New gaskets, and head bolts, and studs w/ copper nuts (with another 10 copper nuts, just in case we lose 1 or 2 during NHRA future teardowns), for header attaching, a new starter heat shield, and a few other parts I requested. (I requested he cc the chambers, and ck. the lifts on both cams while it was there).
In the meantime, pulled the block and tore it down. Outside was heavily greased up after almost 93K street/strip miles (oh, did I say when I campaigned the car in 95, that I drove it from AZ to FL, and NJ and all points in between, all over the country with about 1,000 Lbs. of stuff in the hatchback,, from NHRA National and Div. Track to track, and back home again...Not towed, driven). Inside the block, my pistons looked just like yours, Carbon covered. But bearings hardly showed any wear except the center main thrust bearing, found out all 3 rings on the #1 piston from the factory in 84' were all clocked in line, like about an 1/8th" out on the oil ring from perfectly lined up, and only 1 of the piston ring sets was actually clocked decently. But, bearing wear, rod wear was hardly there, all were well within book rebuild specs, though there was hardly any noticeable cross hatching left on the cylinder walls, and a tiny bit of ridge at the top.
Took it (short block pcs), into a trusted machine shop here in town a month ago, a lot like your guy, old school small town machine shop, they have been building performance and daily driver and boat stuff forever, know their schidt, and have the machines and experience to do it right! He was amazed at the condition, though iron block was scaled up, stripped all but the intermediate shaft bearings out. That was March 4th. Said it would go in the hot tank that weekend. But, they are busy, and covid still affecting our county.
Fast forward, I have ordered a lot of parts, been working on car diet (not weighed up everything yet, but will bet I am 75-80 percent there already, and have yet to get up under the dash). Windshield area to the front grill area primed and painted out all black with red accents. Block off plates done, some wiring, some plumbing done, rear tank out, fuel cell and bulkhead fabbed up and in process. Still waiting on some backorder stuff from Jeg's to finish there.
Meanwhile, 2 days before the head arrived back, he sent me e-mailed numbers on head cc'ing and my cam numbers. My min. target is 48.4 CC's per chamber and he said 65 CC's...No freaking wayyyyy....Gonna hold off on those Ross Forged Pistons being ordered after hot tank, and measure up till we re cc the chambers! 65 cc's would put it down near 8.5:1 C.R., off to my machinist immed....We talked Tuesday 2 weeks ago. 2 days later head came in, we Cc'd in his shop that Friday and whew, 50.2, 50.0, 50.1, 50.0...OK, that leaves us a future tiny amount to trim if necessary off the deck (of head or block), and we are back on track, and as soon as block is tanked, line bored, measured up, we can order the forged custom pistons (that will take 3 weeks to ship from Ross), oh....Notice the block had not been hot tanked yet! No biggie, he dropped everything and cc,'d that head with me! (Line boring, balancing crank,, measuring, forged pistons, pins, rings, balancing 3 of 4 to the 4th meeting min.. on the rotating assembly, honing, possibly boring, and assembly of the short block are all still waiting).
I am 3 months almost in, and target completion date was first week of June...Fingers crossed.
Called him today, any progress yet? (Itching here to get the pistons ordered and wait a month), yup...it is now ready for hot tanking....lmao...ouch.
Soooooo, let's see who's block gets to the assembly room first! (My bet right now is on Jackie's, but I may get surprised!) My head looks like brand new, my tables are littered with fresh parts and pc's all ready to go on, still some weighing and dieting to do to figure out how close I can get to my target wt of 2,475 when we scale it at the local truck stop down the street. And my bank account budget is much thinner, though about where we figured we'd be!
Ty both, among others for the motivation, and currently Jackie....I share your grief, so you two give me something to watch while We All Wait together please...And get out there with The Crowmod and The Lil Red Corvette, take them to the streets and break some hearts and give us some action to cheer for, while we wait for parts and pc's and great machine work together please!
Bone Stock (ok, with a great converter, slicks M.T. E.T 20" X 6" X 14", and a few allowable minimum tweaks, but 300 lbs. Heavier I ran 2.5 10ths above the minimum National Record best pass ever, with zero machine work done to it, so I am expecting to still go slow (OK, very slow), but the 300 fewer lbs, same index, same National Record minimum, same Wt. /Per H.P. with a whole lot less parasitic drag on the crank, breathing a bit better, and wt bias a lot more where it needs to be (up front in my case on the drive tires), and an actual cam lift where it needs to be, instead of where it was...I only wanna be the fastest of the slowest in EF/S since the GF/SA Class no longer even exists.
I'll test, then my Wife will set the record first. Then all bets are off, our 3 boys will all drive it, then Daddy the old man gonna have some fun being chased by some fast cars.
Sorry about the book, but I had to share the pain with Jackie, am really glad you had a head stud pop like that, rather than find out upon start up it was like that or worse, attempted to run it wounded. That could have been bad girl. And it will be strong when done.
My guess on Caddy Jack, all motor on a machinists dyno...858 H.P. at the crank, spraying later 1258 H.P. at the tires on a roller dyno. And breaking hearts and taking names on the strip or street on Small Tires spraying your life away, looking for a better wayyyy, whoooohoooohoooo. (But, the race right now, is to see who can get the engine back in the car first!)
You will be really happy with your new motor when it comes back Jackie big respect from the UK and hello Chief
Just like in the HVAC field, we have to run additives in the boiler system so it doesn't do exactly what happens here. Plus whenever you run different metals, you will have issues. Maintaince is key.
i learned alot from my hvac days that im still applying to race cars and life in general
Definitely enjoy the detail in which you go through to explain what is happening with your cars! Hope to see you back racing soon!
I really enjoy these behind the scenes type content. There’s so much that goes into being competitive and I appreciate the finer details.
Chief, I can care less WTF comes out of you on TV... thanks for being real about everything and putting out cool 💩 like this!
Big thanks to chief and Jackie for the great video
thank you for watching it!!
Thanks for taking us to see Gerald and the machine shop repair talk. Can't wait to see the finished motor and dyno. Yeah Buddy!!
lol we gonna have alot of yea buddy moments when that thing hits the dyno lol
Love the detail on the engines stuff you’d never see on tv, little bits of info we can all learn from.
Great video chief and jackie caddy jack getting ready to rule the streets like the crow 405 for life
I’m gunna say it will make 942 with no spray. I just can’t wait to hear it running and tarring up the streets!!! Just hang in there girl this journey is only 3 or 4 weeks from turning the next page!!! Love the videos and can’t wait to see more.
Thank you Big Cheif and Jackie, I love the video it was very detailed from your work bench all the way to the machinist shop, can't wait to see the finish product,I am shore it will be badass...
Awesome video. Great explanation/ Diagnosis of the head gasket. Love the channel
Chief, thanks for letting the viewers know what CC'g , Flame travel and what gaskets , head surface and decking is " suppose " to look like vs " not to look like". Also, cavitation and oxidation on aluminum alloy. Superb , Sir. Btw his posture and technique , while unloading the short block was perfect ..lol
Man you NEVER miss a Tuesday as long as I've known you.
lololol
Keep up the great videos! Love the candid side! Much more relatable without all the drama!
Amazing episode! I can't wait to see Caddy Jack's engine done!
I didn’t know how much high PH water could affect parts that bad. Another great tip Chief thanks!
it can take a 12k dollar set of heads and turn them into paper weights lol
Yes that raw water can really do a job on aluminum parts on others types of parts u would t thing. Just like if u let somn sit outside n it ran on it then it's gonna rust 4sure
They do coatings and liners in heads that do off shore salt water stuff.
Because thoes die even faster if they are not.
We named my engine "Barnacle" cause when we pulled it to do a set of head gaskets that shit looks like it lives in a pineapple under the sea....
I'm an old dirt tack racer. Every motor I build I add marvel mystery oil in the coolant even in my everyday driving cars it makes a big difference when you break a motor down after it's been run a season.
Love watching yalls videos great work
5 8 t h ! ! ! ! ! !
thank you!!
Great to see and hear from Gerald! Keep killing it guys 🔥
My wife and me luv the show. Glad to see you are doing well. Hang on to Jackie. She's a keeper! You da man Chief!
Big chief is street outlaws the show won’t be the same with out you and Jackie. Great episode today can’t wait for next Tuesday great job guys. I think the engine will make 950 ish. Lol
prob a good guess lol
@@justinshearer3016 what size engine is it really? Back in the old days we ran a 400 and always told everybody it was a 305, I thought y'all was doing that with the 383 designation.
Thank you for another badass video. Much love and respect to you both. ✌🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you joe!
@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto 👍🏻👍🏻
Everyone does love Gerald his shop is one of the few og shops left that is doing it the right way!
Big props to yourself and Jackie..you are a true og and a highly respected racer..would love to meet you guys sometime in Dallas..I've always loved the Pontiacs you build and tear up the streets with
Can't wait to watch this. And looking forward to watching Limpy,s 1 on 1 with Big Chief and Billy.
Love the content Thank You
Do you mean Limpy by any chance?
@Erikk Hyndman Sorry i meant Limpy lol
That engine looked so good sitting in Jackie's car....never thought it would have been that bad off....I guess it's better to know now instead of putting it down the street and hurt it worse.....I'm looking forward to seeing both of the small tire cars race.....ps, really like the new shirt....on my list of things to buy
yeah it could have been really bad if we ran it how it was, especially because it probably wasn't far from catastrophic failure and it had water in it. but thank you!! we appreciate your support 🙏🏻
I love the channel guys!! Getting better every week
At a machine shop dyno those can be pushed close to 1200-1300 hp. With no spray! 1600+ with spray..
Love you two! Your both living the dream.
I built drag boat motors years ago for a RV Dealer owner..
Keep the awesome videos coming... it is so cool to see the progress of your builds and life. I'm here as a huge supporting Fan.
I been following you since your first appearance on the show, can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve.
Thank you for creating all the awesome content.
thank you for your support!!
Definitely had straight Tap or Well Water. Even with antifreeze and/or a lubricant mixed in, normal city tap or well water will corrode the cooling system over time. Always use distilled water in a coolant system to prevent corrosion. You can also use straight 50/50 premixed antifreeze. Most antifreeze manufacturers use distilled water in their 50/50 mix products. Love what you guys are doing Chief and Jackie!!!! #MWSNation
Agree...
thanks man!
If something goes BOOM.. do you really want antifreeze getting under your rear tires.
I don't know much about the drag race car world , but in the road racing track world....... antifreeze is a no no so when you dump it on the track your not dumping chemicals. Yes to distilled, no to anything else
It's the same drag racing . Guess the guy who made that comment had know clue
Great video guys, I've been watching for a while and this one just kept flowing smoothly.. And yes Justin we can see the head tracks and torch marks clearly.. Everything was perfect, Jackie is doing a superb job of videoing & editing.. Keep up the good work.. I see more if you guys here than on the show, thanks for keeping it real..
thank you!! we appreciate it!
Thanks for the tech video, I really enjoyed it. Keep them coming.
I'm really excited about the direction y'all are going together! Honestly, you both may end up a lot happier with a ton less stress, doing your own thing without the TV shit.. Keep up the great work, I love the videos and I'm gonna guess.... 1125 on the Dyno!! Keep pushing forward, y'all got this!
I concur👍
Yes "The Jackie And Chief Show"
“Yeah Buddy”
yaaa buddy!
This is becoming my go to channel for background noise while I'm working on my new house
Thanks Justin and Jackie for all the good information your putting in your videos. I have a 1976 Corvette I need a new engine for. I really got screwed on this car. I needed brakes so I went to Goodyear and they wouldn't do it so they sent me to a shop not far away. This guy said all kinds of stuff was wrong with it. He kept the car 18 months doing hardly nothing to it. I just called him and went and repossessed it. I brought it home in boxes. The floor pans was rusted out. That shop took me for $16,000. I paid $7,200 for it. It was wrecked and fixed but everything in the car was broken. I found a restoration shop around me they got everything working. But I need a engine, transmission and paint. What a cluster fuck. I wish I could build a motor like you can. I need a 350 SB. About 400hp.
I don't know the reason you quit Street Outlaws but I'm sure it just got to be to much being peace maker. You guys will always be my favorite. Jackie is the bomb on rebuilding motors. I never seen a lady mechanic. Stay safe guys and good luck in all you do. I live in Indiana. Wish I was close to you.. Waiting for your next episode on UA-cam!!!
I watch a huge number of car shows and car related content from motor trend to Eric the car guy, and this channel in particular is easily in the top 3 enjoyable content I will stop what I am doing to just consume. Thank you for the amount of effort in editing and time you put into making this what it is.
whoa......we are in your top 3? im not even sure im in my own top 3 lol thats a huge compliment my friend thank you!!!! reading comments like that it makes doing this stuff alot easier
@@justinshearer3016 I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me, I feel honored my comment was worthy of your time to reply. Much respect!
thank you!! 🙏🏻
Ask your welder if he knows about upsetting the material... As punching a hole raises the metal around it, you can work the material to a surrounding hill of the weld area (edges), then machine!
Jackie and Chief y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Look at that sweet little baby girl. That doggo is adorable. She gave the sweetest little kisses.
Hey chief, thank u bro. Ur knowledge of motors absolutely stumps many so called mechanics. The show will greatly miss talent. Dont change.
Think the dyno test will do 880
Hey Chief...I got a cream puff engine for sale, just a few passes on it. Never beat on, only used the purest most brackish well water on the planet to cool it 🤣 Well at least your engine builder seems confident it’ll be a ripper again.... and my guess is 969hp without the spray
Chief and Jackie! What's up I enjoy watching yallsis videos. Tuning in makes me feel like I came over to hangout and chill! Keep um coming homies!
All the way from Africa 🇿🇲🌍 I would like to say that no matter what people say, you are my inspiration ever since I watched my first episode of street Outlaws on Discovery and the is nothing Reaper or anyone can say to change the respect I have for you brother... Keep doing your thing we got your back ‼️💯
Dang it boy, that 383 gonna be a beast. Hope they get it back together quickly, nothing worse for me than waiting on parts or getting in line to have machine work done.
thanks man! luckily our guy usually takes good care of us, so hopefully it will get done pretty quick
The best machine shops have the older guys that still use land lines and answering machines that go BEEP! As far as im concerned those guys are wizards cuz I can't do that shit.🇺🇲
What CID is this engine? Is it 4.5 bore space?
Ok so I should watch the video completely before asking questions, but is it really a 383? Maybe short stroke 383? The way they were talking I thought they were being sarcastic about the 383 like telling everybody it's a 305, and it was probably a big inch small block. I was thinking probably 4.5 centers and 500cid ballpark but Cheif said 4.4 centers but I'm still questioning whether it's a 427, 434, at least 400,421. Not a 4" bore aluminum brodix, even though it's just sleeves but seems like anybody would go 4.125 bore. Only reason would be more sealing area on the smaller bore. But shrouded valves and 383 inches would never make 900na. How can we guess without knowing what it is.
It's not a Mopar 383 is it?
@@dawhoda1 Hell no they want to go fast not grenade the engine at the 60 foot. I have no idea what the cubes are but a 383 usually is a Chev 350 with a small block 400 crank. A "383 stroker" but I have no idea what kind of block and crank it is. I'd be surprised of it was a 350 block with a 400 crank though because I assumed it is a full on custom racing small block. I suppose the stroke and bore could share the factory GM sizes though. BUT I really don't know.
As a “content creator” myself, knowing what it feels like to read comments that make everyone feel uncomfortable, I’ll just say that I hope Gerald can get the engine back in shape and y’all don’t have any parts availability problems. The good news is, y’all found these problems before you traveled across the country to race at Dig or Die.
OMG is another great channel I enjoy. You, Jackie and chief should do a collab some time in the near future.
I'm so glad to see y'all so happy I'm a big fan
Just so you know, I paused the video for a very long time just drooling over that lightened block at the end of the video! Man I love machine shops!!
I’m always ready for y’all to post a video. I will be glad when y’all get back on the streets racing again..So ready to see The Crow and Caddy Jack and the Red Car..#405 Big Chief and Jackie
After Gerald told Chief it would be a month to get CaddyJack’s engine back I didn’t feel so bad. My daughter blew the engine in her Elantra GT and my machine shop told me the same thing and those parts have to come from over seas. I guess it wouldn’t save me any time doing an LS Swap!😜
Great job, very interesting and informative
Im glad you have a UA-cam channel bud. I will not watch another episode of street outlaws without you on it homie
What up Big Chief and Jackie , been waiting for this all day . Can't wait to see y'all Killin it on the streets, if y'all are ever around Bama look me up !!!
I'm a huge fan of Big Chief & Jackie also.....
thanks guys!!

Cheif I remember when you where taking it apart with the torque wrench to see the lbs...on the head bolts they are all supposed to be set at 65lbs..which I have always done on my junk ..you know 5-6 hundred horse small blocks..does that motor require different torque values..ae.. because they are arp ? Thanks big fan💯
Can't wait to get off work and watch. Been busted 3 times at work trying to watch . Love all the info in the videos.
that's really deep chief i enjoy your professional repairs lesson keep doing it loyal viewer congrats
In here for the HP guess, gonna go on the high side with 1,010hp.
Gerald looks like he’s the man! Wish we had some machine shop guys like him around our area!
Same!
I had the same issues with those titan copper head gaskets on my small block, I switched to multi layer kinetic head gaskets
I’ve heard of buddies having same issue with some the fancy trick copper head gaskets out there
Everyone wants to be a top fuel king with a SBC, copper is not the ideal NOS gasket with all aluminum block and heads, not on a siamese SBC with so lil meat between the holes and those gigantic valves.
Make up the tiny loss of compression a thicker well sealing gasket gets you,, but will allow you to spray back in the horsepower without lifting and really torching the heads..
And, sry, very few engine stand dyno pulls on a fresh engine are going to wring out 1k plus HP....They are just usually too stingy.
Not before a retorque and valve adjustments. And not on my schidt and budget fer sure.
Blow your stuff up racing, not dyno pulling for numbers that usually are not real anyway!
Just ask Billy, Matt, and Sean. Hell, Sean was on a hub dyno w/Improved Murder Nova and started at 800 plus, they improved the tune, but was still a long way from all motor 1,100 H.P.
Nice easy test and break-in dyno pulls, save it for the racing please.
Ready to see this setup doing work!
Funny, you thanking us. This is a deep education in performance motors FOR FREE. I thank you.
I have a 400 Pontiac and am hoping to get this level of education on Pontiacs at some point.
Ground straps are important also. The flow of the coolant alone will cause electrolysis if not properly grounded.
agreed!!!!
Grounds are everything when you put Aluminum and copper together with water period, they broke a valve spring and lifted the head on its last pass, they pulled a Matt and sprayed it to the moon, then pulled it out and it sat a good while. They had coolant in it though, I remember on your teardown green fluid coming out after the head stud popping and your removal of the heads.
Exhaust gasses in the coolant from the head lifting made it look much worse than it really is.
Those will buff right out!
Get him to take pics after the hot tanking, then again after they are surfaced, they will look new again. The copper head gaskets took most of the beating.
All that knowledge!!! You are the man chief !
Glad I found your guys channel loved the og street outlaws show thanks for the great content keep it coming
The problem with just water in the cooling system is also this. Straight water causes electrolysis. This phenomenon will cause pin holes to happen in the cylinder juggs of a semi truck. Never go cheap on your coolant guys as it will cost you real money at the end. Chief, every thing but your past cursing rocks. Enjoying your videos sir. Jr
Glad I’m here lol I surely have ALWAYs Been told to only run coolant/antifreeze in the winter and only where it freezes! Always been told water is best. Or is it dif with iron and aluminum?
Finally Tuesday is here and we get the best UA-cam show ever so pumped. Much love Queen Jackie and King Chief I've been waiting all day for this video and thanks for taking the time for yalls fans yall are FN awesome
Big chief a motor scientist.
yall are the best for watching the videos!
Keep up the good work guys and thanks chief for sharing you knowledge 🤘🤘
hey chief. your videos are amazing. love watching this side of racing. keep them coming. miss you on street outlaws but good for you for standing for what you believe. looking forward to seeing you on your next adventure and hope you bring us viewers along for the ride. you and jackie make a great team in the shop. this content is what we the people need.
I’m gonna guess it’s gonna make 980 on the dyno that’d be a solid number without the nitrous with the nitrous well over a 1000 would be pretty cool keep making awesome videos you guys are the best!
That's a pretty wild guess 🤷♂️
amazing videos you are doing an excellent job filming and editing. Keep going you 2. 💯 behind ya !
thank you!!
Your Video are Getting Better Each Time. Good Work!
You two Rock!! Keep doing what you’re doing, I’m picking up some great knowledge on how to “read” failing parts. 🤙🏻 My guess on HP 920 at the crank ✌🏼
That sucks! I kinda had a feeling the motor was tired when the head bolt snapped off. But I thought that was from them over torquing the bolts.
I had a feeling it was more than over torque because we’ve purposely over torque’d sbc studs many times and never broke one
You know I think it was a good thing that that bolt broke because if it didn't Justin wouldn't have took the heads off. You might have just saved your engine and my guess for hp would have to be 850 - 900
Love the video... Chief is Street Outlaw... without him it won't be the same... my favorite outlaw.... hands down... Jackie is also the best
I am in Blythe California enjoying the video thank you for your time and you're explaining thank you thank you
Great video once again Chief and Jackie you always give us top info about racing and I think CaddyJack will do 950 on the dyno and take care folks #alwaysbestinthegame #CaddyJack #MrCrow
I’m gonna be more modest with a guess of 875 without spray. Although I’m hoping it’s over 900. 🤞🏻rooting for you Jackie. Great job explaining everything Chief and the thought process behind everything that might have caused the issues.
You guys are absolutely awesome. Can't wait for more awesome videos. and can't wait for you guys to get out there and kick ass
Learned a few things! Chief and Jackie great posts! 945 hp
Well Jackie, your now going to be for sure confident in the engine. Murphy strikes again...
Can't have caddy jack blowing up too soon. There's racers out there that need a good cry this year.
little setback.....but its coming
