Between watching Steve Morris and Chief tech videos I’ve really learned a lot of little things that add up trying to achieve maximum performance from an engine. Steve and Chief both describe things in ways that anyone who is mechanically inclined can absorb and replicate. Props to Jackie, she is pretty sharp as well and definitely understands exactly what’s going on…impressed with the correlation she made with the timing related to the rear gear and torque converter. Chief and Jackie y’all are a awesome team 🤘🏼

Ole boys program was ended when the valves munched pistons. He was found next to the car in the garage later that morning against his done blowed up unit. They said it was his last bullet, and his eyes were open staring at a paper plate used as a makeshift timing wheel.

Let's all take a moment to thank Craig Richie for his assistanc and his wheel. Without him, the world would be a darker place, and this video would be a cat video with no camshaft stuff. *_Thank you Craig Richie!!!_*

Thank You for the degree lesson. At 79 yrs old I am still learning.
"8 degrees of Big Chief" is the new "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon"...
Honestly probably one of if not the best camshaft timing/degreeing videos on the KZread's killin it

Watching this video makes me appreciate what Big Chief has achieved in his Crow much more. And why he was always on the top of " The List"!
Its good 2 hear Jacki laugh and carry on. Juno approved all you 2 did 2. Great video and thanks 4 sharing.
I'd love to see the crow in action this year. So many didn't understand how big a underdog chief was for the longest. He competed with big money equipment and still won more than he lost , with that little butler twin turbo... love that car.

Yeah. I don't watch tv ever so I had no idea who they were. But the second I saw a pic of that sweet Pontiac I couldn't not watch. If that thing doesn't make you look you should think about googling "cool".

@@realazliving chief modified hood windshield added the wing when he'd got all he could out of the engine and it kept the crow competitive. Too bad crybaby ungrateful racers brought on the show ruined cheif running Texas. I really think the mwsc would have come out #1. we all saw them test the crow was ready.
This setting is so much better than any TV production and the information provided is steller!! I've been racing since 1971 and love your content. Well done Jackie! you too Justen Lol
Gerald literally seems like he's been making videos forever.. I compliment him all the time .. I guarantee he usually is silent all day working alone so to be doing that so nonchalant on camera talking explaining perfectly is pretty crazy

Yes. He's a natural teacher. His knowledge is next level squared. He acts like super advanced stuff is just whatever. I love his channel already.
So my husband watches your videos....I do by default. Thanks for this video. I had no idea how complicated things were at this level of the build. Also Jackie, thanks for clarifying "less retarded" because I was so confused by then. I do enjoy the kitties, and your banter between each other. Love your work.
Craig Ritchie...the biggest what-if GOAT of street racing. Career derailed due to a lent out Pro Degree Wheel that was never returned :)

Awesome video, Chief and Jackie. Can't wait to see CaddyJack back together. Best team at midweststreetcars. You guys are #thebestinthegame
That vintage Little Cesar box is great. But nothing like you two. Hope things are going well for you both.
Look forward to these videos, thanks for all the effort and humor..you guys made my day better
I am so glad yall started doing these videos explaining this kind of stuff you do it to where it's easy to understand thank you keep up the great content
Such precision with everything yall touch! It's like watching magic happen in slow motion lol. 😁
Thank you Justin, sharing this type of stuff is awesome and we all definitely appreciate what you and Jackie do!
I always learn a little watching your videos. You guys make me laugh every time. I love how Jackie gets distracted by the kitty while chief is talking. Getting closer to hearing her come to life!
Love watching chief and Jackie. They are a huge inspiration to me. Been following chief since day 1. Learned a lot from just watching there videos. Good people be really cool to hang out with that’s for sure. Keep up the good work.
That was awesome guys.. thanks you guys have brightened up my day 🙏🙏
Thank you for the in depth explanation & tutorial on how to degree a camshaft... This type of video is always helpful to viewers...
Great job Chief and Jackie, can't wait to see Caddy Jack up and running!!!
Excellent video. I use Comp Cams tool which goes in the lifter bore and uses a dial indicator to measure the lift. I definitely would have messed up all the readings because of Jackie’s commentary😂
I'M SO PROUD OF JACKIE, SHE WORKS SO HARD AND HAS TIME TO TAKE CARE OF TWO AMAZING KITTIES, YOU ROCK JACKIE!!! ps/ love the kitty 🐈 hotel in the shop. Those cats love you two so much, they got that drool love lick 😋, so cute!!!
I love these technical videos, chief has a great way of explaining stuff.
Thank you !!! That was a great example of how to degree a cam I'm going to order a degree wheel as soon as I'm done writing this
Jackie your editing skills have improved. The music is killa. The quality is spot on. Great job. Thanks for the videos. I could listen to Chief all day.
Thanks Miss.Jackie and Chief, I like how you explain things , Chief, you explain things for beginners. I learn years ago to explain things for beginners since most people teaching other don't do a good teaching others.
Love it, can't wait to see Caddy Jack back making rips. Keep the content coming, love following you all along this ride.
...great video ! The explanation of using a degree wheel is much better than my first training years ago, yours is easier to follow than the 'box instructions' ! The cats are cool !...
Thank you for another great video. Much love to you both ✌🏻
1st time I've ever seen someone actually explaine how to do this in language I can understand. Thank you for another awesome video
Hi BC& Ms Jackie thanks for another awesome video. Ms Jackie is always paying attention and very knowledgeable. BC the real race master.
Progression is always good. May not be where you want to be but ya still moving forward! TY for sharing.
Very informative! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for filling me in on what I missed growing up in the 70s,, I always had to be out in the shop,,as soon as he would start I was out lol,,mom to the rescue...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion of building performance engines
Hell yeah it's Chief and Jackie time
Your methodical and systematic way of breaking down an engine and rebuilding it is an artform! Your understanding mixed with common sense and ocd makes it very understandable to someone thats clueless 👍
So I have watched content on degreeing cams , after this time I believe you are a good teacher. Thanks for content and God bless all.
Another great video I like the way you explain why you do things and how and the reason keep up the great work
Great Video,can't wait to see you y'all back racing!!
Again!!! Master's at their craft. I feel like I have been going through race engine university....This was one of the best episodes I have watched...and hear I thought Chief was just a driver, he knows his stuff and Jackie be like no it's it advanced it still retaraded...Love it just love it....
Damn it's awesome watching and learning from you pretty cool shit yall have going on and not far away from race season
Always droppin knowledge on us!! Thanks for showing why you always need to check. Gerald's videos show the same type of knowledge 🫡 Us 2 first namers are learnin from ya'll no mater if your semi-pro or full pro hahaha
Its awesome to always check what you have I stalled that way you have no issues at the track , just tuning love you guys we all have learn eryday much love guys tha ks to you all and especially pro craig😊
I did the same thing on a lot of Toyota 1hd diesels after servicing the Diesel pump and injectors. Vernier Pulley and set the cam timing to factory. Was the only way for them to make the advertised power within emission regulations.
12:43 😂😂😂😂 “at least 3 and a half degrees “
Great video guys! You both know your stuff and are a great complement to each other. I got my new Caddy Jack shirt early this week and LOVE it! Thank you!

Thanks for the video . i learn something every time
Very Very informative chief goes out of the way to explain in detail plus the comedy had me rollin
great video! very informative!
If PTV allows... it would be interesting to see what it does installed on 110ICL than backed up 2 or 4 degrees at a time to the 118ICL it was. My suspicions are the way it was installed on a 118 the Intake valve close event was more than the motor was asking for even for 8500RPM. From what i learned you get to a point where the "port stalls" and you cant fill it any longer and continuing to laten the IVC event nets no gain. I call it saturating the port. Obviously rpm/bore/stroke piston speed also play roll but if a heads only gonna move what it can move no point holding the door open longer, unless ofcourse your really trying to midigate cylinder pressures for other reasons LOL.

Like the new shop cat hangout. Mine enjoy theirs. They play king of the hill to see who gets the top to look out the window.. Precision is the key to longevity in any machine. Nice work on stressing that.
