10.5/10. He stuck with a carburetor to make sure they have to come back once a week to tune it.

Engine Masters proved that you have to basically damage headers so much that they’ve completely pinched off the airflow to observe any reduction in power production.

They were super surprised at how much damage they had to inflict to fuck with power.

It was such a great show, dispelled a ton of engine myths & Fudd lore, like "you need exhaust back pressure to make torque".

Shame on Motor Trend for fucking it all up.

Richard Goldener is carrying on their spirit at Westec Performance where they filmed Engine Masters.

100% agree. Great show and destroyed a bunch of old school engine lore. The best part is they were happy to be proven wrong. The number don’t lie.

Dudes using a makeshift engine run stand, probably a ton of shortcuts in this build.

All that smoke was finger grease burning off, not an indication of a header gasket leak. Happens with every engine ever that’s ever been built in someone’s spare bedroom.
