You are a businessman first and a youtuber second. Your videos are always entertaining regardless of the "attainability" of the project. Your ASL is a massive inspiration to me and I can't wait to make my own of some sort.

Yea but a guy with this level of knowledge can definitely give practical advice. The ASL is fucking wild. I just couldn’t believe I stumbled upon it. But I wouldn’t attempt anything close to that.

@stephenpato55242 жыл бұрын
Great video, I'm quite interested in the m156! Curious though, since you're in there doing the head-bolts, and the cam lobes have started to discolour, why not just replace the lifters, rebuild the cam-adjusters and not worry about this potential issue for years to come?
