Sir, you and your team are amazing, most shops and especially dealer service shops would never do this, i would even say that 85% of 'techs' don't know where to start or do this.

Listen to this guy! As a home mechanic I, too, used purple stuff on brake jobs in Hawaii and seemed always premature, uneven wear on my brake pads. I always thought it was problematic calipers, which prompted me to change calipers and never pay much attention to the slide pins. Recently, I cheeked out and only changed pads on a 2012 tsx and a 2010 ES 350. Both cars had premature pad wear on one side. Both cars with the premature wear had slide pins that were gummed up with the purple stuff and did not slide well. Replacing the purple stuff with napa Sil-Glyde.🎉

[@mikechiodetti4482]

You're right about sentimentality and cars. A vehicle is another way to make memories in your life, along of course with going from point A to point B. I like these engine assembly videos. The details involved are many but when that engine starts for the first time, that sense of accomplishment just knowing you did that stays with you for a long time and it feels really good.......till the next job comes in the shop! Looking forward to that first startup. VERY GOOD ONE AHMED!

Hello sir. When you apply sealer near bolt holes , sometimes you put it towards the engine and sometimes towards the outer side of the engine. Is there a reason or it dosent matter , inside or outside.

[@Jantonvid]

The reason is some bolts are internal to the engine and some are not.

[@armchairtin-kicker503]

I just love watching AMD unboxing and unwrapping those short blocks, dealing with no rusty or worn parts. The gleam on his face is like that of a kid at Christmas--a big kid. All he needs is one of those pulsed laser cleaners for the upper oil pan and PCV baffle, satiating the OCD viewers;)

[@C-M-E]

The Toyota race teams don't even get engines fully assembled, so don't feel bad. I like to think it's all part of their 'Just in Time' production method. They have a finite amount of parts at any given time to reduce waste and over head on the grand scale, and having engines for crate applications is seen as wasted space. Not saying right or wrong, as ten thousand parts in boxes aren't very efficient either, but when you have a few main engines that any of those shared parts can go to, it does make a semblance of sense from the parts bin side of things. Add: This is purely for the metallurgists-in-training out there, so most may not care. Oxidized aluminum is actually the native condition aluminum is found in (bauxite ore if you want to be Really pc) and is essentially a protective layer that naturally forms on raw/untreated material. You can strip it off of course and add a protective coating (anodizing, polymer-based surface treatments, paint, etc) but it really needs to be applied in a nearly hermetic environment to be truly effective, which as one might note, is a difficult environment to work in. Oxidized aluminum however is not a 'closed' surface and open to impurities like lubricant penetration, operating fluids and such, forming a second barrier surface of varying effectiveness. So in a high volume production environment, it's usually cost prohibitive to what most people will be willing to maintain on daily driver vehicles, so you won't see many topical surface treatments in the wild. It is more common in high performance applications. custom markets and aerospace for example.

[@gregjohnson2073]

I use that same Lisle valve spring retainer tool. Works great on every engine I’ve worked on. I always disassemble new replacement heads and check valves for leaks. Often new aftermarket heads need the valves lapped to seal properly.

[@freddoflintstono9321]

Thank you, that was wonderful. I would love to hear that engine start for the first time. As for the bolts in the head, I once developed a QA tool for a certain EU car manufacturer. The way you check the tension of a bolt is measure the torque as you tension it again: as soon as the bolt starts moving, torque drops for a moment, and that's the value used for quality assessment. This is years ago when they sampled - with automated assembly this is automatically measured and registered for every single bolt.

He talks about a different kind of lifter but the concept is the same. The tone should all be the same when it's the same springs keepers and seats. If one sounds different, look why that guy is doing that. I know you know but people who are watching might not all know.
