Learned a new abbreviation; PMSL - Pissed MySelf Laughing.  ;D  Some of the the replies on that thread are really funny. The paint-job is a bit like throwing up a box of crayons. Too many colors and it's everywhere.

did you guys make it to the low 20s where he shows his custom clutch?    The TIGing on the intercooler parts is just well... wonderful... you would think with his skills with a file he would alteast dress the welds.   Painting the oil cooler was a nice touch as well.

+1 on oil cooler. Niiice.  :)  I read the first 10 pages. There's a video too. A truly amazing lack of talent on that team. Like one person said, I don't know how to build an engine, but I know how not to.  ;)

Couldn't sleep last night so went through many pages and videos.

I've learned over the years of low budget hot rodding that there is a lot you can get by with, but ...  He's trying to build a 10,000 rpm four banger, ok ....  Rotating mass is everything!  Balance everything, and clearance check everything! 

Great job of buying springs to handle the rotational speed, but at least go to the toy box for the play dough and check what will happen with valve float.  How about a basic balance job? 

What about at least a crude balance job?  Even with small block chevy's we used to get the crank, timing gear, flywheel and balancer balanced at a local speed shop.  We talked the auto shop teacher to buy a good beam scale (I think we actually stole if from the science department and he covered for us), and we would weigh and massage every rod and piston for not only clearance, but weight.  This idiot things he is going to torch cut his clutch and then spin it up to ten grand.

Was a good chuckle having some experience in engines.

You have GOT to be kidding. The filing on the head was classic, I tell you what. Fine machine work.
I wouldn't want to be in the same room with that grenade running.

Today while I was working in the yard I was thinking about that thread. After he did the filing and machining someone said he was leaving the swarf in there to help seat the valves.  :)  I was picturing all those metal filings and chips in the engine while it's running, and kept smiling. The word "clueless" takes on a whole new meaning now.

P.S. You think he got 900 HP out of it? lol

Just looking for an oil passage or two to clog up and send things into foul ball territory at the speed of "oh crap".
