Just wanna say - if you find yourself stressing about getting a video out every week, just don't. I've seen a bunch of youtubers burn themselves out with commitments like that and I know how much work it is on top of what you're already doing. We can always wait a bit longer. If you keep on enjoying doing it your mental health not to mention the quality of your videos will be better for it, too!

[@vipcress]

Most youtubers have audiences to pander to. Real youtubers have followers that will gladly return even if there's gaps.

[@JimPropert]

I fully agree. Woody, don't stress if you miss a week or so. Running a professional workshop and streaming would be busy as. We understand.

[@LaStanley]

Fixing Barra rear main seal for good... * Take the rear cap off * Clean the surface well * Put high temp flange sealant in each corner of cap to block mating surface * Install new genuine rear main seal * Place cap back on and torque to spec No more oil migration down the cap results in no more oil leaks 🤙

[@No1karez]

Hey mate, first saw you on the mcm minni project . Now Im following HARD CORE WOOD ! Break a leg mate and keep up all the great work !

Hard core Wood? Sounds creepy 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching mate, I appreciate the kind words like this, it keeps me motivated to work harder!!

[@DOCTRJ]

Nice Woody! 👍🤠🍻🌳🏞️🌄

[@jaycrank8163]

When replacing rear main you can turn over the old one and use it to hit in the new seal. When I did the rear seal I placed sealant around and to the side to make sure any oil from the rear main only come out the side and rest comes from the side. It doesn’t hurt to have the oil level up a bit more if you are keen cut out near the seam at the end of the filter this will draw from the back of the pan and cover the top pick up use the high flow one it has a metal screen. Always have 2 rubber orings from case to pick up tube. If you feeling crazy get an old pan for the t400 and make wings with tubes for the pan bolts. You can upgrade a 8 speed zf with parts from a bt 50 Mazda 4x4 has better parts inside but you have to use most of the parts from the 4x4 to get the clearance inside correct. 6L80 would be over kill you will still need a adapter plate

5,000km of not-kind driving ain't that bad with a fresh build with lots of power and weight! I don't even think my BMW could go more than 5,000km without issues and that's not far from stock lol Love ya work Woody, can't stress enough how sick the new workshop and the videos coming out are

@@tdkyt46 I'm at a solid 8-10 in my 30k km, most for recurring belt issues. It's actually pretty reliable, it just took a bunch of tries to get the belt and pulleys to stop screaming. plus the wheel speed sensors, O2 sensors, all 4 tyres twice, all 6 coils and plugs, water pump, thermostat pipe, rocker cover, oil filter housing... Okay maybe not that great but it was a really good deal before all the work! Now it's just an average deal, so I think I still win

We all miss the old bugger but Woody has put a lot of thought and hard work into this and come up with a great format which I’m really enjoying (and I’m 75).

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

Can you establish a constant level of clearance re the filter to the bottom of the transmission pan? i.e. stop the filter being able to tip in any way under slosh from the fluid and hard acceleration? Perhaps some form of "stand offs" so the filter is not depending on just the pick up pipe itself?

[@2hacksinashack]

One thing to think about with the rear main leaking. I’m not saying it is for sure, but if the crankcase isn’t venting properly. From a clogged catch can line or something like that. The pressure will push past the rear main and cause it to leak. Especially under higher boost pressures and engine loads while drag racing.

[@theskidfactory]

Have a search of 8speed.au there’s a few conversion kits available now for many different engines using the zf8hp70, although it’s pretty tight in the bellhousing area I don’t think it would work in the crown to be honest.
