What's CLEETUS Gonna Do with MULLET? I Don't Know.. But Here's What I'm Doing!

These comments this week have been wild about Steve and I. For one Steve and I are great friends before and after any engine issues. We both understand racing breaks engines… whether it’s my fault or his we don’t really care we just do what we both agree is best. I maintenance these engines according to what he wants… we don’t slack on it. However, we rev the SMX higher than he likes, but he’s told me it’s fine. He also told me to send on 7 cylinders before I did it. We both didn’t care what happened to the engine at that point. Steve knows that SMX has been problematic for me on street drives. It’s never ever broken on a track day. I will only switch back to the big block to get street reliability back. It sucks to lose all the horsepower head room we get with the billet engine, but If you haven’t noticed Mullet can’t handle the torque and power of the SMX. The OG big block was the perfect engine for that car, and that’s why I’m going back. All of you who are getting offended on the behalf of me or Steve just know we really don’t care and we’re gonna keep working together regardless!

Cleetus could destroy a anvil with a low pressure water hose. 🙈

Remember when Steeve said he re-designed his main caps with a corner radius to eliminate potential cracks, that's exactly where the crack started. He wasn't wrong.

For 99% of the people watching this and knowing that we could never afford to buy one of these engines it's a true testament to the pride Steve has in these. He has always been open about them and will show you ever aspect of the build and or the repair . He's not afraid for people to see what happened and tell them why it happened no matter who's fault it may be. Other engine builders has all this top-secret stuff going on while Steve is completely open about it . I'm 77 years old and I still learn from watching his videos. Now how cool is that and Thank You for being you Steve. It's a pleasure to view these

Cleetus’s face when George said “it tickled the limiter the other night” hahaha. Barely tapped it. Right. Accidentally set rpm limiter to the moon. Like 9400 rpm lol

That "HP to Destruction" chart 😆. I could feel the frustration you must've had reading/hearing comments from people that think a 3000 hp motor should last as long as their "Camery". Don't worry Steve, some of us get it.

one of my favorite jobs when I worked at Cosworth Engineering was fitting seats and guides. One perk in the winter was working next to the cylinder head oven, lovely and warm it was a vertical rotating oven with maybe a dozen or so heads inside. One fun part was the heads were in the oven with the combustion chamber uppermost. The 4 valve chamber was perfect shape for sitting a steak or chicken pie in for lunch. So if I timed it right putting the pie in an hour before lunch the pie would rotate around the oven and be ready to grab and eat at lunch.

Steve Morris: Your mom's Camry NEVER breaks. Cleetus: Hold my SMX

I gotta say, for a scratch & dent beater engine, this sumbitch sure did take some abuse without grenading. Steve's design is flat stout. The way Cleetus and crew abuse it is proof it's a monster! I can't imagine cracked main caps still running.

a testament to your motors BROKEN LIFTERS CRACKED AND BROKEN MAIN CAPS ALL THAT OTHER MESS!!!! AND IT DROVE THERE IN THAT CONDITION!!!!!!!!

What a legend Steve Morris is, dropping everything and driving 4 hrs to help a friend, customer and fellow racer. Awesome! 👏👏👏

This is some of the funniest shit i seen Cleets crew say lmaoo: 1. George: it was beaten harder than a rented mule 2. Zaks face when he brings two different sized prybars, followed by "thought so" when steve grabbed the massive one Im barely into the video 😂😂

Drop everything and stand behind your product with a good spirit. Priceless.

Steve . 95 % of people get it. Your program is mint. Racing is Rand D . Utilising Cleeter as an RnD division is genius as his form of destructive testing is priceless . Thankyou for all your awesome content and ignore the people that don't realise a 6 sec car that drive 100s of kays to next track to run a 6 is physics defying stuff

Considering their PM program is run till destruction.. I'd say your engine holds up pretty well considering

Hey Steve, I just wanted to thank you for how well you explain things in your videos. I know nothing about this stuff! It's much appreciated!

Steve is the most patient man I’ve ever seen lol

Steve Morris..my favorite engine builder 👍

Thank you for taking the time to show all of this detail and for explaining the how/why things are built or break. Been around it my whole life with my dad grinding crank and cam shafts, so its really cool to see your extreme performance end of the spectrum. Must appreciated!

Who doesn't like knowing there is a CEO who actually knows his business? Who also can do and does all the jobs from sweeping the floors to programming CNC machines and all the way to hand fitting parts. On top of all that, he even goes out of his way to help his customers and friends. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
