Whatever happened to whitepunkonitro

Im not confusing anything. His claim is they they were manufactured without a crown, and as I recall, could be wrong, he shows machining marks on the bottom. How is that his fault?

You could be right, but you present ZERO evidence, so it's only your opinion.

It's hard to prove they were made without a crown after you run them on a cam and damage the surface. Now, if he had a NEW never installed lifter with no crown, I would agree that's a problem. (And it does happen) but its irrelevant after you damage them.

Again we would agree, however, again, his "claim" is they still had machining marks, no wear/scuff marks.

Well, we can just agree to disagree! Just allways keep a open mind......

Yessir, I try to, but in order to change my mind, I need evidence. Plain and simple. If you can prove what you say, I'm right along side of you on this particular point. That's a crappy thing to do, BUT, you haven't and so yes, we'll agree to disagree.
 
In the meantime, I have a 512 to finish....mopar to ya!

I'm not a NOS fan. Some are, I'm not. I don't bother to click on threads or videos about NOS. To click on every thread about NOS and bash it, try to convince everyone they are cheating if they use it, or every video about NOS and make negative remarks is just pointless to me and I'd never waste my time of life (we only get so many minutes, ya know). Just say'n.....

He is more a youtube personality than a wealth of knowledge or expert.
I guess some think they need to hear it from a stereotype character.
I just have a hard time stomaching videos because he says a lot of **** everyone should know by now. Some people even treat him like an aficionado, then he gets a bunch of stuff wrong and doesn't have the correct reasoning/fact behind it...then the 318 vid where he put the wrong size bearings in..put it together dirty, switched blocks somewhere in between claiming the dudes first block wasnt good 'when it was a better starting point' gave dude that dirty block...blamed him...blamed the lifters...
Lied in the comments....and all fishies ate his poop like candy and bought it.

I wonder how many of those dim wonders are on this site ..lmao

I know too much about it. Its lame.Sorry.

Wow, that was you who's been walking on water?

Simple, and I'm sure I'll ruffle a few feathers... people find it easier to being someone else down than to bring themselves up.

Regardless of what people think he knows or doesn't know, he seems to be doing well at what he's doing. If people are gonna **** talk, then do it better, otherwise leave the guy be.

@Princess Valiant nailed it. He's serving a purpose and doing us ALL a favor by helping those that know NOTHING, learn SOMETHING. Even if it's not quite right by your (not you RRR) opinion.

Here's something... I've never been good with carburetors. First time I watched a video on setting up a holley, it was his. It was very basic and spot on. Rocket science? No, but I didn't know didly. Could I have gotten the info somewhere else, like here? Of course I could have. here's the thing. Now that I know enough to be dangerous with a holley (still learning if you look at my post history), I am looking deeper and getting LOADS of what some might call wrong info. Not from Tony, the info is basic and useful.

Now, as I'm looking to learn how to "fine tune" a holly, I'm getting conflicting info. if I watch a Holley video, they don't even mention transfer slots, that's something I've picked up around here. should I **** talk Holley?

If anyone is triggered by this, well, that's on you and I don't know what to tell you and won't bother trying. I just want to work on cars and learn as much as I can from the experts and novices alike (everyone has something to offer).

Why does the guy have to be **** on every time his name comes up? He's a Mopar guy through and through. What's wrong with that? So he makes money on youtube. So what? He's not afraid to throw it out there, success or failure. How many of us are doin that? I don't agree with everything he says or does by a long shot, but damn guys, what'd he ever do to yall?

You're entitled to your opinion.
When i was young...i read a lot of books, went to the junkyards, spoke with old folks...listened to 'stories' took **** apart and rebuilt it...and figured it out.

Without UTG here i am, 42 yrs old on the 21st of this month and i know enough to see through this..


People would all know the same if they obsessed over it a little, bought the magazine, read the book, talked to the old timers at the yards...tried it and believed in themselves. I have had more people hammer on me for what i learn and tried to share...you'd think the goal was to keep people dumb in this hobby, no joke. Guru wannabes never giving the important details..then snidely thanking me when i give up valuable info out of wanting to help like they just came up. Pay attention to the gurus who never ask...and always stay silent during those valuable tid bits that get sprinkled out there. Egos galore.. fearing their actual level of experience will be judged... and it will if you act like an ***, like you've done everything under the sun. There 3 guys on here that are completely un humble blowhards who I'd would slap silly in person they way they come off here. Big names to mopar people too. So we have pretending youtube personas and overblown ego builders who step all over each others threads in order to out do the next...
Coming from me, just a guy in his garage who loves this stuff.. i want to be around and listen to people who really want to share , not people who just wanna brag and suck themselves off.
I'm not speaking of you 2 guys that i quoted, i know you have been here a while, youre good people as far as i can tell. Im speaking for those types who are choosy of the messenger being a book..or experience over time. You can't learn it all from a youtube vid some kooter makes every week. You need to have some experience and fill yourself with some real confidence by accomplishing it yourself.
Ps, i was reminded of some irritating whiners on here in the middle of typing it to i touched on that too. Besides, i read about parents and free cars and some other rooted things...so why not. Lol...oh....and Ill give Tony this...
He is not an asshole in his videos BUT.. he is an asshole in person when it comes to **** going wrong.You can hear him in the one video at the track..and i know one of the guys that was there with him. He blames everyone else. Gives people ****, then when he does THE SAME MISTAKE it's no big and THEN he understands... he is a man child.

To each his own.

So every one of the people you spoke to or "learned" from over the years was spot on correct and never gave you information you went against? Though, somehow you figured out everything on your own? probably not.

Look, I don't think anyone here is saying UT is the guy to go to for all things engine related. The problem is the seemingly endless amount of hate for this guy. As I said above, it's a source of motivation for younger/older/newer people and most of it is basic enough to get by and get started. That said, I come here for the more advanced stuff with good reason. I look to those that have gone before and eventually build on that information.

Point was you have to do it yourself. Yes ..you get some twisted ideas and wrong answers.. that's why you need to do it,learn it, so you can understand it.
There are 3 books that are must haves.
A lot of people here still don't retain or know the stuff in 'mopar performance upgrades' or all the back issues of mmm, ma.
Generally speaking, If you don't understand the dynamics ...you'll need a UTC to hold your hand the rest of your days.

Okay, so we have both views...
The view of the young aspiring vs one version of the view from the experienced.
I say it that way because not all will think like i do.

How dramatically sarcastic of you. :D:drama:

I didn't quote you did I?
My opinion.
Read it and move on. If you're that affected by it... in the future you might not want to read anybody's opinion but your own.

I agree on all counts, and honestly I'd like to know what those books are. Like you say, correctly so, I need to get my hands dirty. In fact, that's exactly how I learn. I read, get an into, put my hands on it, break it and fix it. Then do it again. i appreciate and better understand your point based on your update above. Thanks

My opinion comes off better in person than it does through the keyboard I often get a lot of backlash for that but I do not claim to be a writer or an English scholar.

Thanks for taking that the right way, or how i meant it.

When UTG becomes "pay-per-view", then the payers can complain about the content and cancel their subscription. LOL...

I do try, some make it more difficult than others.
 
It would be easier if you could just start the video and just video yourself tinkering on just whatever you happen to be tinkering on and the people not care but you actually have to have some kind of a project or something to keep people interested or it's just watching some guy bumble around in his garage on ****... to those people that want to see that I can oblige LOL

Talking about You Tube videos and @318willrun knows the ropes, who on your list has the most subscribers? For me, Hacksmith Industries has 11.5 million with Rick Beato a distant second with 2.06 million. I would imagine those two are making a little money.

I've yet to read up on the ratio of subs or views equating to x amount of $

Youtube is a ocean, and it's amazing some people's sub counts. Some better than 50 million. I'm just a minnow in the ocean. For me personally, I watch a few youtube channels and sub count has nothing to do with it. It's all in what catch's my personal interest. If i like the content, I'll watch be it a 20 sub channel or a 20 million sub channel.
 
I see it's about the views.
"Lets assume the average CPM for a YouTuber with 1 million subscribers is around $4 dollars. YouTube takes a 45% cut and sometimes the YouTuber also has Multi Channel Network representing who also takes around 45%. So the You Tuber, who gets on average 600k+ views a week, will end up with around $1-3k a week from CPMs."
