Weird Crankshaft Secrets!!! // Scat Tour

I had NO clue all of the weird uses there were for crankshafts!
BIG shoutout to Scat for the hospitality and teaching me SOOO muchb about what their crankshafts are used for!

[LateStartRacingTeam]

Really appreciated the explanation of how Scat manages the metallurgy during machining compared to the alternative. Great stuff!

Simply hearing him share his life story is truly delightful, and all I can express is my heartfelt gratitude. It was truly remarkable.

Thanks Tom for giving the tour of Scat Crankshafts and Rods.
You have an amazing shop and the technology at Scat is simply awesome.
Take care, Ed.

Great story!
It's always nice to see home grown manufacturing.

I have found that SCAT products don't require a lot of extra machining and balancing before assembly of an engine....love the products. Keep it going, please!

[robertwest]

Scat is always my first choice for rotating assemblies. Their rods look as nice as one costing 3-4 times the cost.

I will be buying Scat for my engine rebuild.

We’ve got a forged Scat crank and Scat Pro series rods in our Chevy 406, never had a single issue with anything. The machine shop complimented about the detail and fit for there parts. USA made by hard working men and women, thank you🇺🇸

[Hitman-dsei]

Met Tom some years ago on a trip to US and he's one of the most likeable people I've ever met

Thanks for the video. And thanks to Tom to take the time out for the tour. He is still enthusiastic about his business!

When i was into air cooled VW's, Scat was the crank you wanted

[chrisredfern]

The level of attention to detail is amazing.

I bought four of his rods for my latest Honda rebuild when I heard about the company's story last year. I always thought they were low quality before.
Four, of 1500 made that day 😅

HMM, Currently working on a AMC 401, a stroker set would be a great upgrade here.

[scottgeorge]

I had no idea what is required to manufacture cranks and rods. Thanks for the education!

[Joeylucio]

learning all this stuff before I start my build . Out of respect to our mechanic Gods 🙏

[patrickscahillii]

FASCINATING, I'D PUT MY MONEY ON HIS PRODUCT WITHOUT HESITATION.

[Bonanza]

I've built some VW engines for both cars and Experimental aircraft using Scat cranks, non better for the price for sure. There was a F1 racing plane named ScatCat I believe. I would like to know if they make and or do anything with pressed cranks, such as the old Kaw Z engines and Two Strokes.

Good good for Tom. It's amazing how when things go right it can make such a difference to America. I feel so bad about him being in California though. It's not even close to what it was and hurtful to see. All because of a few Men & Women running it. Washington State & Oregon is following faster than we imagine.

[JC-gwyo]

Great story. The man behind the product. Just another genius behind the scenes quietly making it happen.
