I'm no hemi expert myself nor an expert engine builder. But I do enjoy watching Nick's Youtube channel regularly. I respect that guy a ton personally. Hoping to meet him later this summer. I don't recall the dropped valve in the hemi episode off hand. I do remember the dropped valve in the 440 of that white 66/67 Charger though.

He had a recent video of a big event to show support of his customers n fans on June 4 TH.Turned out a lot of mopars n had real nice weather for the occasion.

IIRC, I believe I have seen multiple hemis in his shop at the same time being worked on in the past. Some engines still in the car, but most out on a stand or on his dyno. He's a Mopar rock star to me. Just sayin...

You have to remember that just like reality TV shows, Nick is playing to those who probably don't know much, and are looking because they either want to learn, or are just genuinely curious.

I'm sure he knows what he is doing.

BTW....he is a member here.

I watch Nick from time to time. Nick is an old school mechanic, and the best thing about his channel is that he shows when things screw up, doesn't try to look smarter than he is. I built an engine dyno several years ago and his dyno secessions look and feel a lot like the ones I have done. Some engines refuse to respond to tuning and some run just better than they should. Sometimes I can figure it out sometimes not.

Ran one for 14yrs , same block and one original head , dropped a valve in the other original, freshened engine every yr., sometimes more depending on the dykes rings .
Tore it down many times , like I said , he wasted a lot of time and effort the way he did it !!
Was he thinking he was educating idiots ?

 

[not so famous bob]
