@Tsunauticus III I think that's what he's trying to do with his videos man! Not like some other mechanics who'll watch you struggle and not even lend a hand or some advice, if I had that knowledge I'd love to pass it on. You can tell he's a good man

[@ownytony]

@@Thalor im with you. seems like he is passing on as much info as he can save some supper secret stuff. he "lets slip" some secrets by saying its secret on some of his videos. the real secret are when he rebuilds them. the industry is changing and cars will become electric. i have a feeling that may have something to do with his willingness to pass on some wonderful knowledge. watching him work and run through the teardown is a treat edit: would love to see some rebuilds

Anyone who can torque a wrench considers themselves a professional which is nonsense. I agree he's a master in his craft

[@warrenpuckett4203]

I have had this conversation with a mechanic friend mine about balance of torque through the drive train. His reply was I am the ace certified mechanical genius. A week or two later he would be under his mechanical concoction replacing broken and bent parts. Not applying math first is a pain in the wallet. Torque will break things much faster than HP. He got real good at taking things apart and replacing them. Push rods, valves , clutches and internal auto trans parts. He was also real good at breaking manual transmissions. He never got good at fixing them. When they break not as easy to fix as a automatic. But I know how to fix a network operating system. Had to learn a bit of math to get there.

[@cirithduath7526]

Man I learnt more workin with ol timers like this fella and just listening to their wisdom, than I ever did in school. Irreplaceable knowledge and tricks. All the pelo pinoche

[@882952]

His casual ease and speed reflect decades of experience and knowledge. I chuckled because of how he is able to basically dump entire handfuls of parts onto the bench without caring, since he knows exactly where every tiny piece goes. Whereas I almost gripped the table with anxiety when he dumped a drum out and all these springs and things just spilled out onto the table - I was thinking, "Oh God, NOOOOO!" =)

It's amazing to me how he considers some serious wear/damage as totally OK and not needing replacement (such as the large hub at 14:10) yet some tiny nearly imperceptible wear on the pump (earlier in the video) needs parts replacement.

Yeah i had an old german mercedes tech who taught me some of my biggest lessons. He taught me not to look at it as brand specific parts but understand each individual components purpose and function and you can use them to do what you want. 4 example running a 2005 honda accord v6 on GM 1980s hei ignition modules. Sounds crazy? But works cause if u understamd what the modules do u can use them to do what the honda needs. Really went a long way to removing the fear of "exotic" & german cars.

When people talk about all that they're supposedly going to do to their car, they usually use phrases like "Turbo, supercharger, bored-out cylinders, etc".
