What's the song that plays in the background at 12:55? It's in a few videos but I haven't been able to find it in moogs library 🙁
I got schooled here. An actual engineer!
I was a bit shocked by how Marty just completely blew off Tony's recommendation on how to insert the cam shaft. Totally whack, you're literally there for his expertise why would you do something like that? Mega cringe.
Tony is such a professional.
tony is the type of boss I'd want to apprentice under
Marty: maths
Tony: blank look
Marty: we're using "maths"
Tony: yeah
Were you checking cam timing without the tensioner installed? No wonder you had too advance the cam.
I live mcm, and I know they have to condense so much, but I wish marty would let Tony finish his sentence or thought before asking 5 more questions…
Dude, I need at least a 12'er or more and a overcast afternoon with Tony, I can't imagine the stories he has.
Installing the camshaft is piece of cake
Timing it is a pain in ass tbh
Wow, Tony is loving this, and Marty knows exactly what to ask to keep him going 🙂 This is great.
Heads and Cams on an LS can be as drastic as forced induction on many many other vehicles.
Course its not just LS engines, its pretty much all Cam in Block V8s. Ok fine, V8s in general. Because powah!!
Buy a Mazda 3 hatchback
I really enjoyed this! I've been screaming for a motor buil for ages and this is a great start.
Tony is so interesting to listen to, he's got so much passion and knowledge toward engines.
Tony is Awesomee!!!
since you like music moog. what are the comprising instruments of 90s trance?
I love hearing people who know what they are talking about, speak.
Even if none of the information stays in my head, it is still enjoyable and interesting.
