Hell yeah brother you're on the policeman for on youtube channel all right, guys, i'm not at the shop. So i don't have the wall of turds keys, but we still got to throw one in a random order today. So today, connor l from rocky top tennessee you're getting a precision terpsky in your order. We got ta, give him a call see if he picks up it's a little early, but we'll see.

Please leave your message. Oh thanks. I cannot believe this all right. So conor l will send you your turf scene anyway, i'm about to start saying.

If they don't answer their phone, we can't give them to them, but that wouldn't be against the rules. So here's the deal guys we have ran out of basically all of our small stuff in the merch warehouse everyone's ordering, a sticker or lanyard just to get their order in. We don't have much left. We got a ton of orders for just little items and it's awesome.

We don't care whatever you guys want to do, but i'm telling you they're running out so it'll be interesting to see how these next couple of weeks pan out, but thank you guys so much for the support on the police reform.com website. Lately we've been killing it. We're really excited to just do programs like this. We want to come up with more things.

You know other than just the turbos. That's it for now. Let's get to the live action. Dang son them's is wide boys.

Some man, whales dude, come on. I had boys wheels like yeah, so we got some fresh bullet specialties. Remember how we put those wider tires on mullet. Well, those are nate's so he's coming down here today.

We're gon na give him back. So we ordered some actual matching wider billet specialties for old mullet and some fresh mickey thompsons. So we're going to be ready to rip tonight we'll do a little bit of testing another beautiful day people. I love florida, we're heading to the drag strip.

Oh converter, locked up, we got to get tested because in just a few days we're heading to indy and we have a street car shootout at indy that we're hosting 32 cars the tx2k rules, so we got to get bullet tested. Obviously, in las vegas we did terrible, so i'm trying to get the car gathered back up. I got nate down here in town, so we're going to try and uh make sure mullet's 100 when we go into indy, because i want to win our own race. You guys know, i'm always on the winner, all right, so we're pulling up to brazil motionworks park to see if we can make something happen.

What's up what you want to do tonight, i'm thinking like go for a mid 460 first today, a horse, oh yeah! That's what i got written dude fire me up, because i always wanted to go like bottom sevens or sixes tonight, ish yeah. Actually, we should run to the eighth because we got nothing to prove tonight. I would like to just get a good tune up in it from where you guys were yeah. I guess i don't know how india yeah i jumped there so and he's all right.

We'll uh put this in there, dr tuna ball out here, making it happen and mr sam making it shine. Oh yeah we're good man that sun's looking good tonight all right, zach's torquing the wheels down. We got our new build specialties on. So let's do it! Why do we have foam boys? Nothing just sucking a uh we're good all right there, you good we're going to send it.
There was some water that came out of the ice tank. Of course i thought you were like it's going to blow up. I mean it might blow up too cool doesn't believe in lss anymore, he's 2j for life, yeah brother, all right, hey! Here we go so yeah. It looked pretty good, though that's not a boy, it's funny, because that guy has to race us and his back.

Bummer said boosters for 485 in the 8th at 155 wow that mile an hour dude one thirty one, sixty foot, we were pretty slow out in the hole. We got ta nail that sixty foot we'll be in the four sixties and they ain't like oh 485. At 155 - oh, it looked a little soft yeah, but a lot better than las vegas yeah. You left that's like that, looks a little soft.

130. 160 foot. Oh yeah! It's terrible! We got ta spice that up a little bit now. If we could repeat that, though, fast and fast and indy, i bet we could win the three cards yeah, it's going to back you up.

Yeah, i mean you let off at the eighth. It went to 790. So pretty awesome. She was already hopping and popping what are we looking for today on booths? Well, it made eight, which is about what we left on before so probably yeah yeah.

I think we pushed what 12 before yeah well would be. Nice 12 would be perfect. It'll work better. The harder we hit it all right, well, nate's, gon na, do his thing.

Dude we got a little fireball all right up here for round two. We hit the line, a lot harder, so four boost and then uh more boost down track too see. If we get that 470 in the eighth that'd be good, let's put us where we want to be so: 127.60 foot 788 at 133. We only ran it out today we're going to that 60 foot.

Tonight she was a little lazy to the 60 foot a little faster last time, but man after that it was rolling hard. 479.. That's what we're looking for! Looking at my oil pressure, it's a little low, i'm gon na creep, my yeah it's better than it was. I figured it'd pick up more in the middle, though, because i smacked it pretty early yeah.

I went to the same mile and hours yeah. I didn't turn anything up out the back just it was all early yeah. 479. 155.

I mean it's kind of overwhelming. I mean it's a good yeah, a good base for indy yeah. Let's make sure the oil pressure is good. What do we got? Normally, it's like seventeen ain't, even idle after it was a little hot.

It was like seven, oh seven, that not good. I toasted pretty much 11 psi. Did you see the temp on it? Yeah it's 200, but it's still normally 200. It shouldn't be that so i don't know take yeah.

I wouldn't push it at that yeah i mean we had the i. I know the tendencies and it never gets that low yeah, pull the log and see if it starts dipping anywhere through the run yeah. I looked good in the run. I was watching it yeah you're kind of always looking at stuff yeah everything seemed fine.
So i don't know yeah that was good. Oil is good. The dude that went down before you dusted the entire track above a little bit just like when we left the shop wow, i mean when you were like kind of cruising idling back. It was up 32-25.

All right guys, so the oil pressure was the same during the run before this, but after it definitely is lower than normal, so that caught my eye, we shut it down we're gon na, take it back to the shop and make sure everything's good pull the oil Pan off check the bearings: well, first, we'll probably check the filter of this material in it and if there's no material in it, then it's probably fine. It needs an oil change. That's not your fault! I said when we came here. I said this feels terrible going.

Dude, this is nothing i've done complete race weeks. If something did happen, it's it's just was meant to be it's not anyone's fault because we changed oil and there's a lot more than i used to. You know a little metallicy, but we had that one piston that had a self clearance on the great shaft a little metallicy. But when we cut this open, we'll see okay, we're getting a little bit of gold which isn't good but yeah a little bit of silver.

But i need a rod bearing or something you might just have to smack some bearings in it. Yeah didn't need it to crank up the view. Nice clean cut, yeah yeah. I see some junk in there already oof.

That's not looking too good. We've done a to baron brother yeah. That's not that's! Not good news. Is it only ran for about 30 seconds total time after i noticed the oil pressure deals so yeah, so you got a tri metal bearing you got a tri-color filter, not good that sucks.

All right you gon na, find the culprit. Oh yeah, all right. Let's hope it's a rod bearing yes that'd be ideal, real shiny, at least we found it before indy, so we can get it fixed yeah. I do want to point out that that's the first time we've ever had one of our ls's fail from a bearing failure like one of our aftermarket ones, really yeah.

I don't even call that a failure. You know it's a wear item yeah, that's especially when you've got to think about. This is an aluminum rod of motor yeah, a lot more metals and extend and contract with heat yeah and we've been taking it apart. It's not like it was built in a clean room.

We took it apart in a trailer one time and everyone was touching the bearings and you had to do that other rod so yep, but it went to vegas and drove and did all that, and i mean it just right after that run. I just noticed it was down 10 psi, so we made the crawl on here. So one thing you can check too, is like rule of thumb. If you have seven psi of pressure gain per thousand rpm off, you have enough oil pressure to sustain life.
So as long as it was gaining oil pressure that last run it shouldn't have it had perfect oil pressure it just on the shut down it could be, it could be, it must have snagged the bearing on there because just putting bearings in it cool, let's hope, Do bye.

    I love that Cleetus lives in a world where people answer the phone when an unknown number shows up. Has he not been told a million times that the warranty on his 2009 Toyota Carolla is about to expire? No one answers their phone today unless they recognize the caller. If you only have the turbskies to people who answered the phone, you'd end up with a wall of parts buried in dust and cobwebs.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars screwball says:

    hay because if these robo and scam calls the government cant stop most people dont answer are phones anymore if the number is not in are call list. its the times we live in

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars V8pushrodmotorsTTF says:

    Why are you not running a Peterson external pump? Running methanol and high rpm with oil pressure below 80-100psi, your asking for problems.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gregory Brogden says:

    You should announce in a video what area code you’ll be calling from so people won’t screen your call thinking it’s spam..

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars hippo4g93 says:

    America !! The fear and paranoia of answering a random call ! I love being born , bred and living in the caribbean

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wildturkey10121 says:

    I'd love to be your parts supplier, I'd hate to be your sponsor! You are the best tester though, you break everything even when you don't try!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jacqueline Oldhaver says:

    Back in my younger years, pit crew on BB Alcohol dragster. We changed the oil every round. The alcohol destroyed the oil that fast.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lil Mike says:

    I believe that having Zach and Ty on this team has stepped up your race program soooooooo much and to see the look on Zach’s face when the oil pressure was low….. I can’t call it priceless but I call it ???????? A man that cares about the the work he does and has major pride in his work, knowing it wasn’t his fault didn’t help help that sad look in his eyes

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mopartshemi says:

    Why TF do these POS holley systems take so long to boot up literally putting a new build together that time of something not working could mean starting from scratch.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars taylor tobitt says:

    Thanks for the best entertainment on the internet even on the bad days! We appreciate it more than you know cleet!

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lunkydog says:

    Blame it on all the robo calls for extended car warranties and cheap house buyers. I don't answer unknown numbers anymore either.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James H. says:

    Aw man
    I wanted to buy a sticker, which I was anyway, but shipping is 8 bucks! And I live in Georgia, right above y’all. Weird
    And yeah 8 bucks is a lot to me, I’m 16 and make minimum wage haha

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ProudBoi215 says:

    I Wanted to see the teardown. But no he ends the video. He used to show us that stuff, now he just skips all of it and shows us the end product which I don’t like personally I like seeing the teardown of the issue you don’t have to show me putting it back together. Just my opinion

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 72C20 says:

    Yeah I have to say your engine builders are doing amazing. But I also think that that engine block itself is just under to much stress for what your doing. I’m sure it’s flexing and warping. Tuned down I’m sure that engine could last forever. There is a reason the heavy hitters at drag week just aren’t running LS based engines. Like I’m sure there are but they just can’t take that beating and are fighting the same problems you are

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cleetus McFarland says:

    If I had to guess this is the result of us popping the rod caps off in TX2K and just slapping them back on without a nice proper cleaning. The car hasn't had many runs since then and it's probably been wearing at them since. Oh well, we got some bearings coming!
