How It's Made High Performance Engines

[LMF5000]

I hate how many steps they miss to cram the process into a 5-minute segment. They didn't mention the machining steps after casting, and at 3:50 it jumps from just an engine block to an engine with all the ancillaries already there (alternator, belts, pumps etc). Come on how it's made! Something like this deserves at least a 15-minute special edition!

[BOROZ28]

@LMF5000 !5 I'll say 60 minutes.

[LMF5000]

@BOROZ28 Amen to that!

[BOROZ28]

@LMF5000 !5 I'll say 60 minutes.

[varnishvarnish]

thats not a valve guide. its a valve seat.

[traxxasmaxx33]

@varnishvarnish i was said the same thing!

[IstasPumaNevada]

The narrator didn't mention that they must machine the engine block internals after casting.

Thanks for posting the video, I enjoy watching these.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT GRADE OF ALUMINIUM POP CANS ARE MADE OF?PLEASE GET BACK TO ME!THX

[GhostAvenger620]

I have a dumb question, if you have enough technical know how, and resources , could you duplicate this process by collecting aluminum cans?

[MasterChris117]

Damnnnnn, you see that machine just to torque the rod bolts? >.>

[gruneygunnar]

aluminum is lighter but in turn it is also weaker. cast iron is obviously the stronger of the two. in real power situations id choose the cast iron for big modified power. the only reason its in sports cars is because of its lighter weight 

[bubub56]

@gruneygunnar and iron blocks dont expand near as much wich alows for larger strokes and cranks unlike aluminum wich expands more than twice as much

[macthemec]

@gruneygunnar

aluminum has a higher strength to weight ratio than iron.

[maximilianlindner]

Haha, just show the real film...

[moos209]

For me, Heaven would be sitting in a room somewhere bymyself tearing down and rebuilding engines like this one.

[ACHILLIES97]

Is a dum fuck down the road make auto stop and sale brains?thanks .

[MrSTANGlover]

Could I get 30 minutes and a room with that engine?

[kalargyi]

Hyundai skipped most of the steps to reduce cost

[steffentangen91]

well i know for certain that cast iron blocks can handle shitloads of power, but it's kinda oldschool, aluminum is these days, a lot better cause of the weight.. As u all know, the 2JZ is cast iron:) And it's proven to be a hell of a tough block to kill. And like in my audi S4, it's got the cast iron straight 5 block, same as the supra one, u gotto be good to kill it.. If u people say cast iron suck, u dont know a fuck.

Hi Buddy, I have a 93 ford Truck E-350 1 Ton Econoline - Van and something happened with the transmission (automatic), full fluid level its OK but when into 1 and 2 .... the truck runs good but for 3rd and 4th the RPMs go up and up (foot on gas accelerating), but the truck doesn't speed up .... i'm stuck on 1st and 2nd...

-Solenoid problem ?

-Should I reset by disconnecting battery ?

-No OD light flashes in dashboard.

-No ''CHECK ENGINE'' light.

Thanks for any help ..

[guily6669]

Why do all super cars use aluminium blocks? Isin't titanium better?

[daboss420edi]

@guily6669 titanium is heavier but it is stronger, the aluminum blocks are strong enough, and theyre lighter

[1hdsquad]

Um - what? Take the sand out of the block, wash it and install everything? No milling? :D

[Insane82chevy]

what the fuck are yall talking about? cast iron? cast iron is bullshit. if you want an iron engine that will hold up under stress you need a forged block rotating assembly and heads. cast iron is brittle compared to forged material.cast aluminum is shit aswell. stick with forged metals. and cold forged is even better.

[quadbassblaster]

fuck these shows are addictive

[HOMBREooDEooACERO]

those are coolant passages not air, get your facts right...

[Niggagonnadie]

Fuck that cast iron FTW

[volikoto]

watch out ferrari, lamborghini's watching you!

[Keegzz100]

@killercd4g63- are you living in the stone age. Aluminium blocks are lighter and better suited for

high performance cars than any other material.Even cylinder heads and sumps(Oil Pans) are being made from Aluminium.

[slowsinglecam]

Cause Race Car!!!

[Samqdf]

someone correct me if I am wrong here but isn't aluminum is cheaper for engine makers to use because it's easier to cast and work with

[chris746568462]

Liquid Hydrogen in air, LOL wrong! Great video though :)

[1stRogInAz]

@chris746568462 I think that it was liquid nitrogen....... I have never heard of liquid hydrogen being used in manufacturing.

[chris746568462]

@1stRogInAz I know. I wish these "how they do it" videos get the facts right, this one was just plain common sense, no way is it going to be LH. lol

[30GB]

wow they have no quality like old ferrari engines used to, now its cheap and shit like any other car engines now days. Only thing i seen decent was the crank.

[Pypamid]

I love how the over use the word "technician" to make the workers sound more professional

[Serostern]

Lol, they cast, and then assemble, no machining mentioned xD

As for using hydrogen in a factory... YEAH RIGHT. One little zap of static and the whole lot is fucked.

[cubano1389]

@Serostern Liquid Nitrogen bro not Hydrogen, they use it to shrink the valve seats.

[Serostern]

@cubano1389 Yeah. No shit sherlock.

[Ricca2295]

'azoto liquido' is nitrogen not hydrogen



[killercd4g63]

Aluminum blocks suck.

Cast Iron FTW.

[94tbird]

@killercd4g63 you are the dumest person alive.  hence all super cars on the planet use aluminum blocks.

[Scribs7]

@94tbird aluminum blocks are lighter which is why they started to use them but cast iron blocks are much stronger.

[cubano1389]

@94tbird The only advantage is less weight, an Iron block is stronger so it will hold more power but it will also weight more.

[thdmtr]

@94tbird hey 94, you must consider that he must be a redneck, trying to argue that his american corvette/camaro cast iron engine block is better than any others in the world, as usual, pretty much as the others blind rednecks around the world! doesnt matter if you come with a V12 cast titanium block, his fucking camaro cast iron piece of shit will be better!

[man36021]

@thdmtr Then you're a retard because the mustang and camaro both use aluminum block engines.

[thdmtr]

@man36021 i didn't mentioned the year....which also matters...A LOT.

[man36021]

@thdmtr When talking about any car in general, people usually mean every model, from every year, so if you're gonna talk shit, be specific, or don't get offended when people correct you.

[thdmtr]

@man36021 isn't it intuitive?? maybe you are too dumb to understand that the context was about a redneck defending his cast iron bullshit. so I assume that, to defend cast iron, he must be frozen at 1967. rofl. I never get angry when corrected, thats incorrect. hooray!

[man36021]

@thdmtr Okay then, I see your point, but use of materials dosn't always matter, it usually depends on how well the product was engineered. Now, when talking about an older engine, there are after market products out there that have a much better design, and are built with better materials, these make an old engie A LOT better. So you have to take everything into account, not just what material an engine is made of.

[thdmtr]

@man36021 what you are sayin' is quite obvious but the subject was and is: MATERIALS. GM LSX 454 is an american, cast iron modern engine. they don't have just camaros, mustangs...there are vettes too. did you forgot them? C-A-S-T I-R-O-N.

[serginietor]

@thdmtr yeah but the vette's engine isn't all that high tech. taking the Z06 versus the ferrari 458 for example (I used them because they are both V8 and N/A) the C6 develops 505 bhp and the ferrari produces 562 bhp.

The corvette engine is 7 L while the Ferrari is 4,5 L

[ACHEESEDANISH00]

@serginietor the reason the ferrari has more power is not because its more high tech... it has to do with that the corvette is under powered and is no where near the limits of the motor... chevy provided a nice balance of great power and control ability...

[man36021]

@thdmtr No, you were talking about how aluminum block engines were so much better than cast iron block engines, so I told you that material doesn't always matter, it priamarily depends on design. Now aside from all this, are actually gonna come into the 21st century, or are you gonna keep going on about cars from the 1990's?

[hakim230794]

@94tbird lol nice

[baujahr90er]

@94tbird epic comment really :D cast iron haha... idiotic

[AbaddonsAnimosity]

@94tbird the dumest huh? I assume you mean dumbest? ....

[S200069]

@killercd4g63 Iron is good to handle lots of hp, better to bore, but they dont last, they will rust from time to time and they are heavy. but the high tech era as today, almost all high preformance vechile uses alum block

[14energy]

@killercd4g63

theyr sleeved 

[ysflightman]

@killercd4g63 Aluminum is as strong as Cast iron, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter. Aluminum also dissapates heat SIGNIFICANTLY better than Iron.

God damn.

[TalesOfWar]

@killercd4g63 I have a feeling Ferrari and other high performance engine makers know a little better than you do.

[MegaDrunkard]

@killercd4g63 wow .. your stupid man !

[LookItsRiceCake]

@killercd4g63 Cast iron sucks.

Horse drawn carriage FTW.

[shizzel122]

@killercd4g63 go back to school dumb ass

[laurence265]

shows all this high tech stuff, then a rubber mallet, lol, somethings can't be improved upon.

[cubano1389]

@laurence265 Ferrari handbuilts its engines , i dont see how a rubber mallet is wrong when assembling an engine, anyone who has hand rebuilt an engine has used one.

[IKickedurassdontcry]

Fail, discovery doesn't even know their liquid gases @ 1:45 that's not liquid hydrogen that's liquid nitrogen

[marek0086]

valve SEATS.... not guides.

[akiratubo]

Azoto = nitrogen, not hydrogen. I knew that because my chemistry teacher in high school was Italian.

[VinceNakano]

It's a shame they all explode when you're gonna use it

[VigenToT]

not liquid hydrogen but nitrogen !

[JTheGuitarPlayer]

they should do Manual Transmissions

[mikeb1444]

Wow.. A lot of work goes into these.. 

[Slashbag69]

At 1;48, he says liquid hydrogen. There's no way they would be able to do that in liquid hydrogen. That would a completely insane fire risk. If there was a spark in that part of the factory, it would probably take the rest of the factory out. Surely he means liquid nitrogen?

[mikeb1444]

@Slashbag69 They probably have some sort of ventilation to keep that from happening. I'm with you though.. Liquid Hydrogen? In engineering school, I had it preached on me to keep hydrogen away from other metals.. but then again, I haven't done as much research as Ferrari has...

[marek0086]

@mikeb1444~ its liquid nitrogen.

[mikeb1444]

@marek0086 That's what I had figured, since it's non-intrusive. Liquid hydrogen doesn't make sense since it ends up asn an impurity in metals..

[marek0086]

@mikeb1444~ and much cheaper. (i think).

[mikeb1444]

@marek0086

Correct!

[CSLFiero]

now ready to catch fire at a roadside near you.

[sircrashalot]

@CSLFiero so fucking tru my brother! love seeing them burning on the side of the road XD

[wakomaniac45]

at ferrari

there not workers there craftsmen and women

[vissahealy]

This is really cool.
