I know as much as I can learn and try to keep an open mind to anything!

If I didn't overthink stuff I wouldn't be on speedtalk!

Thanks for sharing, great video. The section on rod bolt stretch was very interesting, Kaase was looking at a cheat sheet about bolt stretch and clamping force, does anybody have a source or link to such info?

John seems like a very down to earth guy.... I heard about the rust in headers being pulled into cylinders years ago...

VERY good info.... I wish I saw the tip on pushrod clearincing a few years ago.... very cool!!!

Just copied his piston vice setup. I have three sets of pistons to modify and was not inclined to spend $1000 for the other vices out there.

The rust in the headers is a big thing. Bet a lot of guys don't take that into account when they think about "cheap headers".

Finally just watched 55min of it I'll check out the rest later, good stuff. Funny thing is I just bought one of those scotchbrite wheels about a month or so ago because of a very old post on here LOL

Great info for sure and I don't want to sound like an ingrate, but am I the only one being driven mad by the horrible acoustics? I think he needs to carpet the shop walls before his next seminar.

I was more interested in what the man had to say, guess the acoustics wasn't a factor for me.

The dyno mufflers was the golden tidbit I gleaned from it. All was good!
