You will see that many of the tips and procedures used are universal for skill sets "every mechanic should know" and that the biggest value to my videos is the teaching of these skills that are not found in a service manual.
I often get asked this question:
Q: How does one learn these skill sets "every mechanic should know" if they are not found in a manual?
A: NUMBER 1.....GET DIRTY and start wrenching.
-Ask questions
-Find a seasoned craftsman to mentor under
-Tech schools can significantly speed this time up
-Research, read, watch KZbin videos
Tip: You will never learn it all from one source or in a short time period. No matter what craft you are trying to master, YOU must be dedicated and put the time in. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO LEARN THAN DOING! I will say it again, you must actually do the work to master it. You cannot just watch or read about it and master anything.
You want to be a master bike builder, mechanic, welder, nurse, carpenter or you fill in the blank?
-Don't take for granted opportunities to learn deeper
-Be humble and seek advice
-Be intentional with your learning plan
-Don't blame a school, job or your parents for not giving you ever answer, go get it!

I'm an computer overclocker and I've always used the dab technique for applying for applying thermal paste and have done a lot of experimenting with application and how they effect heat transfer and if they leave dry spots and that's what people end up messing up like you showed exactly why people can't get over this myth about how much to use and end up killing their CPU performance. You explain everything so well. I know that was random but I'm watching everything on your channel. This is gold. I'm planing to revive a Suzuki gs650g that took a fall and has sat 7 years. Your channel has helped me so much brother. Thanks for keeping the skills alive

I just used this method to seal up the crankcase on my 2 stroke moped, hardly and excess and easy clean up! that was a good tip about measuring the dia of the adapter nozzle to cut it exactly for the application. thanks for sharing all the knowledge!

[@Teejay481]

I watched this video when i dismantled my 4x4 Manual Gearbox and Transfer case on my NT Pajero and with four sections to be joined back together with silicone only, and because they dont make gaskets for these parts i found this video to be the answer as to how to use this stuff without getting it inside the transmission as has happened to me in the past and caused other issues so knowing this info about using silicone really is fantastic and it worked a treat for me with no oil leaks.P/S Sorry this post of mine is not bike related .

[@NOZf3atu]

Now this is a tip u wont find almost anywhere on youtube, i am happy that i stumbled on this video. I mostly do my bike servicing at home & i used this method couple of days ago on my Royal enfield. Must say it's really clean method. Thankyou for the tip.

[@tklupine]

just thought I'd mention that the Honda Master Certified Technician courses shows people to use the dab or "peaking" method of using sealant. I saw guys who'd been doing the job for 20 years just facepalm and ask why they hadn't thought of it.very glad to see it being taught to the new generation of techs.

[@How2Wrench]

Thank you so much for commenting. Would you by chance know what section or part of the Honda certification? That's fantastic to know I'm going to look into it. With that being said it's surprises me so much have very few people know anything about it.

[@tklupine]

+Shane Conley I've never found it any of the manuals, and I've still got a copy of the Common Service Manual under my bench right now. It was shown to me by the national training coordinator for Honda MPE in Australia. since then, I've been telling all the apprentices about it.

[@obfuscated3090]

It's a very old method but this is the first time I've seen it on video. My ancient Britbike mechanic mentor says he first learned it using Hylomar when he worked recip aircraft engines.

[@billcallahan9303]

Great Advice! I subscribed to to your entire series. I operate two ultralight aircraft & many items in this excellent series carry over to my two-cycle motors! Thank you for going to the trouble!

[@stevensapyak7971]

3.4.16. I owned a 1989 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a 2.3L 4 cylinder 5 speed. At about 112k miles the truck started to lose oil pressure as the engine RPM increased as I went threw the gears! I would back off the accelerator, & the oil pressure would go back up to normal!.......It turned out that Ford went cheap with dedicated gaskets, and went for the RTV to speed assembly & save coin, and the excess RTV broke free and plugged the oil pump pickup screen almost entirely! I stopped running the truck & bought a new oil pump & after the oil pan was pulled, I found out why the oil pressure was ass backwards in respect to RPM!......I owned the truck for 22.5yrs & 258k miles before I sold it. I live in Michigan, so it was rusted out but the engine ran sweet!.....🔧😎

[@ronanrogers4127]

Good instruction, as usual. I’ve always used this method, purely self taught. It just seemed logical. I prefer Hylomar or Threebond to the Permatex products. Their “Hylomar like” product is nowhere near as good.

Slick method!

[@Dont.....-]

Hey shane, you probably already do this but ill say it anyways ha ha with the tube of sealant instead of cutting of the nozzle to get to the uncured sealant just squeeze a ball of sealant out the end of the tube after use and let it cure then next time you come to use it you can just pull out the cured sealant with your fingers and away you go no more cutting the tapered nozzle till its to big to use.

[@How2Wrench]

The UnrulyKZbinr Thank you. No I don't but will try it next time.👍

[@motorbikes2746]

yep i was going to say smear it on thinly with a finger, that dabbing works good

"A dab will do ya"

[@fpreston9527]

for those who don't know why too much sealer is bad.. is because it will block oil galleries

[@Rileyscott97]

Is it okay to use silicone based gaskets on 2 strokes ??

[@819jt]

I was performing a procedure similarly and I was concerned about the sealant curing before I got around the perimeter. How much time can pass before it won't seal properly from curing (considering same kind you used)?

Hi Shane, thank you for the reply and the great videos and advice. If everyone worked the way you told them to in these vids, I probably would let a shop do work for me. But they don't. So, I work on all of my own stuff! :)

Does this method work for anything around the engine? I'm rebuilding an fa20 engine (2015 subaru wrx) and have to use rtv silicone around a lot of stuff and I don't want to gum up any ports

As you can see from the slow response, it takes us forever to screen all these requests. 300-400 a week just in emails and 1000’s of comments! FYI members get answered daily first! Best $1.99 you’ll spend! 😁 That’s a great question for Shane directly! We are just the social media team. Shane does answer questions when he get's back around to non members eventually so hang tight, FYI >>>> he does member ones daily! He just returned from overseas training techs and his inbox is slammed with requests. He is scheduling time each day again to answer techline orders. He does not have the bandwidth to provide free email replies as his schedule is full with shop customers, training schedules, and one on ones. There's good news though! Shane has 2 solutions for you. One is a deep dive one-on-one with him with video, email and phone support. The other is a "quick fan support" option when it's a quick answer and just helps support the time for him to stop wrenching or training and get you in the direction that a free video had you close. Links to each are below. Hope this message makes sense to you as a decent human being that also works for a living and gets it! Make it a great day! The one-on-one service.
