it doesn't look bad underneath either. Now I don't know about the quality history of US cars. I know that they used to be good, but then there was a change and things really declined. but I have no firm data on when that happened. But as said, this looks quite nice so far. One thing that helps is that it was obviously not used in the rust belt or it wouldn't look that nice underneath.

[@alexscott9605]

Cool, you're teaching the kid the safety aspects of garage work that will keep him safe and serve him well as he will pass it on when he gets older.

[@russellstyles5381]

Saw a post, one shop insisted that you NOT use the safety stops. If the power goes out, you can't lower the car. Sigh.

[@ThePhoenix198]

@@russellstyles5381 Well, when the inevitable tragedy happens, they just damned themselves by their own published words.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

And in the next clip Ray crawls under the car without letting it down on the safety stops... But I understand him. You should train to use all safety equipment and only when you have learned everything the way it should be done and why you can start to make exceptions. If it goes bad you have no one but yourself to blame that way. But if you weren't taught how to do things correctly then the blame is really with whoever was teaching you. In my opinion that's even worse. If you know the how and why you can do a calculated choice when departing form the safe procedure. Now crawling under a car on the lift without settling it on the safeties should really not be all that dangerous as the safeties are designed to catch if the hydraulic suddenly fails. It SHOULD keep you safe in such a situation, but should is not 100% safe. So diving in under the car is something that is up to you. As long as you know what the dangers are...

[@russellstyles5381]

@@blahorgaslisk7763 A minor leak past the valve would not be noticeable, especially if it leaks into the container. However, the different sides might leak at a different rate, so the car could end up being tilted. Not familiar with how they are built - is there only one side? Unsure how they build them. A burst hose might stress the safety stop, but I would worry more about having the car fall off when that happened.

Sitting in my apartment after knee surgery every morning I heard a Starter/flywheel grounding. Grabbed my cruntch and went down to show a cutie how to turn the motor slightly with the fan belt. Some engines like to stop at the same point often, causing the fly wheel to bang the teeth in that one area. I found that turning the engine slightly gives the starter a new place to grab.

[@jimrossabrena7955]

Does this info apply to modern cars? Both of my cars are late 90's and manual so they both got replacement flywheels when I changed out the clutch. I'm assuming this is more of an issue on automatic cars?

Love that you are growing your business and hiring more people. Can’t think of a better place to learn and grow under your expertise

[@WilliamMulligan]

Justin listens to you. He's going to become a most excellent engineer.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Listening doesn't make you a good mechanic, but it sure does help. What makes you great is intelligently using what you learn to solve more problems even if it's the first time you see them. Oh and be prepared to at least look at user instructions if it's something you have never touched before. Some things really needs a bit of hand holding the first time. Such as changing the clutch. If you don't know about using a tool to line up the clutch with the center that is a very fun ordeal. Fun for others to watch, not for you to experience. Now I know how tempting it can be to throw away any instructions if the subject seems obvious. I've written installation instructions for some things, and the first problem is getting the experienced people to actually read them. I remember spending a lot of time creating the first page of the instructions for one thing. In the end it was very large letter saying some thing like "Please read this. It WILL save you a lot of time!" and yet experienced techs tended to throw it away only to dig it out an hour later after spending that time trying to install it and failing badly. Reading the instructions and making it the right way took less than five minutes...

[@garyosborne8906]

Nice looking old Lincoln. I have a 87 Mark VII that I bought new and retired it after about 120K miles. It just sits in my collection now but it is a beautiful car and arguably the best car I ever bought. Love that car. It still drives really nice. Funny side story……I put new tires on it about 20 years ago but rarely drove it since. Those tires probably have 30 miles on them. I had the car on my 4 post lift just to piddle with it and it has been there a few weeks. I went out to the garage about a week ago and noticed (much to my surprise) that the right rear tire was flat. I started putting air in it and air was escaping as fast as I could put it in. I assumed the tire had lost its seal at the bead. Under closer inspection I discovered a big chunk of tread separated and sticking straight up under the fender. It just exploded one night. It must have made one heck of a pop but the garage is detached and I did not hear it. Tells us a lot about the dangers of old tires and dry rot. Time for a new set of tires.

Good on you Ray, for teaching safety to the kid. In my opinion, safety is often disregarded in the trades too much (well, unless you know what you're doing). It's great to see you start him on the easier parts before just throwing him at something like an engine rebuild. They don't realize it yet (we were young once as well and all of us wanted to do the hard things because most of us were overconfident), but these little things are stepping stones. You have to build the staircase to greatness yourself with the help of others. So thank you, Ray, for helping out the newcomers. I can't really speak to the matter of cars, even tho I love working on my shitbox. I'm not a mechanic, after all, but your videos have helped me a heck of a lot. Disclaimer! English isn't my first language, so excuse any mistakes thank you!

Sounded like the old starter was not retracting from the fly wheel and the engine was turning the starter when running.

If that starter had no shims that might be why the teeth are being damaged.
