Letting Perfection get in the way of "Good Enough": Modifying my Aftermarket Dipstick Tube (Pt. 18)

[@rickchowsr2532]

Great job Faye and Danny. Yup the dipstick tube is definite over kill, no extra protection required though. Great job and great educational content.

[@jdsrcs8061]

Man I miss metal and auto shop in high school. I had to great teachers. Working with the lathes and milling machine was so much fun. What a great episode, Danny is the man and you are awesome to Faye!!!! Hands down you have the best laugh ever. It is always fun watch people who really love what they do!!!🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍

[@FayeHadley]

Aww thanks so much!! 🥲

[@nbrowser]

I love this dynamic duo of gear heads...they just work so well together!

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you so much!!

[@taylormarcellin]

Damn, that motor is looking beautiful! I miss the machine shop and all the small details that make a huge difference and impact that most people won' t ever notice or understand. These are the videos we love, Danny and Faye in the shop providing a longer video!!

[@FayeHadley]

I'll try to keep them up then! I'll be traveling the next 2 weeks, so I have some shorted vids scheduled, but I promise this is the end goal!!?

[@taylormarcellin]

That’s a LOT of love going into a small piece of aluminum 😆

[@dadtype2339]

Faye, don't worry about how long the build takes, it takes as long as it takes, enjoy it have fun, and even though you may feel so excited to finish it and be done and hear it come to life, (I know this feeling) it tends to make one rush which in turn can cause mistakes. Take your time, be patient, and you will (are) do an awesome job for your machine baby, lol, but when it's complete and you hit that ignition and hear that child speak the reward will be just beautiful and well worth the wait! I'm cheering you on, you got this, and like you, it's going to be awesome!!! I did a complete engine overhaul, new radiator, plugs, head gasket valve checks the works on my Ram 96' V8 Magnum 360 (5.9) and it took a while, mainly as it was during the pandemic and I had to wait for parts like the radiator and such, but I'm also partially disabled with a nerve disease in both legs so on what I call good days I'd work and there are many days I couldn't, but I was so anxious to just get it all back together, it took almost 2 years, but finally did, it sounds amazing, but then lol my transmission died lol, of course, so I'll be rebuilding the 46RE myself and another journey will begin. Sorry for the long comment, but it's worth it. Danny is great like the cool Dad/Uncle we all need!!! Always a thumbs up from me on your channel and on his. Hope this finds you both well today!!!

[@jacklisiecki2389]

What luck to have a teacher like Danny! Great job! Thanks Faye and Danny.

Faye it’s so awesome when you and Danny work together, he’s such a fantastic person and he’s damn smart. Have a great weekend. The smile on Danny’s face when you said this is totally overkill was priceless.

[@FayeHadley]

I LOVED THAT PART!!!

[@N100NXX]

[@802Garage]

The funny thing is, this little project went so far, you actually could have made the entire thing yourself out of one piece! Cool to do it this way though to learn all the skills. Fun stuff.

[@AppalachianFMJ]

Aaaah man, the basic machining stuff on the lathe reminds me of my vocational school days I went through back in 2005-2007. Man I miss those day..😔

[@bigsmith7349]

[@brianreber4911]

Great video as always, and educational as well. I see Danny is showing you the ropes in the machining trade and as you know when wrenching you always have to have that THINKING cap on. Can't wait to see that engine in the car fire up !! I have learned a lot about Toyota manufacturing of their vehicles from you and Dan. I am a Toyota owner as well, 2003 Tacoma 4x4 Extra Cab and have done all of the wrench pulling on it since Day 1 with the help of the 3 volume set of Toyota Factory Manuals. Have learned lots of short cuts from Danny as well. Keep up the good work. Ttyl

[@FayeHadley]

Thanks Brian! And that's badass about your Tacoma, keep it up!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Nice work, maybe a small tubing cutter would have worked for cut off. Your engine is coming together beautifully. Blessings 🙏

[@DCMcF]

[@FayeHadley]

It is!! Thank you!

[@SomebodysNephew]

I love how based Danny Sinoz and Faye are. Came for car content subscribed for based and car-pilled content. I particularly love how you and Danny try to teach the viewers about just about everything you do. I have learned more about random car stuff to machining car parts in just a few videos than I have looking to learn about specific car stuff! I love how I came to learn about a dipstick and am learning some machining tips, welding tips, random car facts etc. I love this content! I now know how badly I need a lathe.

[@fastjp72]

I'm the same Faye. If your going to do something, do it the right way no matter how long it takes! Luv watching all your vids!

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you so much! It's a labor of love for sure!!

[@TheMistermin]

Excellent work on this engine build! It's such a shame that almost no dealer workshops have lathes. I'm not a machinist by any means, but having a lathe in an auto shop is a godsend, especially for fixing stripped threads with a thread file.

[@FayeHadley]

My old dealership did!!

[@TheMistermin]

@@FayeHadleyThat's awesome. That's the sad thing about my home country. I did my apprenticeship at a well established Nissan dealership, and the workshop didn't even have a working bench grinder.

That look you get when people ask whats taking so long to get your engine together and you say...took 3hrs to get the dip stick to fit...then didnt you buy one for it.

We have a saying, "Dont let perfect be the enemy of good."

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Faye, already looks like a lot of fun can’t wait. I wish we had a Live stream coming up I got a question: Front hub bearing going out on my four-wheel-drive 2019 Silverado not sure if it’s the driver side or passenger did the usual check both by hand they feel fine at 20 MPH it starts to sing so listening to it as someone drives by at 20 MPH you can’t hear which side it is matter of fact you can’t hear it at all you can only hear it inside the cab. So here’s the question driving straight you can hear it if I turn to the left the sound stays the same if I turn to the right it goes away so am I correct in thinking it is the right side that’s making the noise meaning when I turn right it takes Weight of the right hub ( or at least I think so) Wondering what you Think. I can easily change them both as amazingly they’re not that expensive but I’d like to figure out which one it is and if the truck had a 100,000 miles or so I would just change them both but it only has 33,000 so I’m hoping it’s just a freak thing anyways faye have a great one🐔🐔🐔👍

[@jayinmi3706]

Nice work. Did you think when you did that first video with Danny that it would go where it has? lol

[@jimciancio9005]

Unfortunately for the money we pay for aftermarket parts that claim to say they are replacement parts for your stock ones.......9 times out of 10 that's never the case without something just like this coming into the equation and requiring you to figure out how to modify your brand new parts to work with your other aftermarket parts or stock part. Its not like people think that these parts are direct bolt on replacements! Their everything else BUT! 😉 Great job 👏 Evaluate, Improvise and Overcome the Marine Corps way of life!

[@RAV21-32]

Pretty cool video, would love working with that guy as well!! How about a 45 degree inlet for your return with a SS braided line?

[@FayeHadley]

Already made it! But no SS braided - I don't like them because it's hard to tell when they're getting old or need replacing, and are difficult to service or replace on the road. I prefer a good ol fashioned rubber hose!!!

[@gregdiiamond3899]

You guys are way too tedious for me. I was pulling my hair out putting the sniper in. I can see why Derek flew Jared to Minnesota to help with his. Anyway, it takes a lot of patience to do what you and Danny did.

[@FayeHadley]

I'm not sure who these people are!! Tell me more!! And I just want her to be perfect 💗

You know Derek. You sat next to him at an awards ceremony. His channel is Vice Grip Garage. I know you know Jared from Wrench Everyday. He's a former Toyota tech and lives in Georgia. Hope this clears things up. :)

[@renndriver77]

7mgte ♥️

[@threadtapwhisperer5136]

I mean, I regularly cannot consider a job finished until I have done it the hard way, found a harder way and achieved beautiful utopia....only to then see I could have skipped all the dang steps, and basically slapped permatex and prayer on it, maybe a tap in a drillchuck and just sending it.... cuz If im gonne work harder, then you know I gotta risk snapping a tap, its the only way to prove my worthiness to the mechanical gods... Also, if I had a media blaster and a toolroom lathe, Id be turning everything for no dang reason. Cuz makin chips is second only to hot metal glue guns, which can only be surpassed by threading on a lathe, without swearing ya brains out. but when it all comes together, the precise machined goodness settles my agitated mechanical frustrations. Im about the *stop the project, to set up several machines, make a custom thing otherwise Ill be anoyed forever, then return to the orignal task with a non duplicable part, that only I required, thats always overbuilt/machined/sanded/painted/lightly snuggled* cuz ya gotta, thats how new mechanical things find out we love them, even when shouting profanities. alas, the reason Drag Week events exist. I hate this dang car, but shes fast when she runs. This speaks to my zen.... also, at home totally rock the zip tied danger finder 3000 ziptieing a power tool trigger down, setting it in the vise and doing all the dirty things every shop teacher says not to. but a bench grinder, does not specify whether its a side by side grinder, an angle grinder with A zip tie is the advanced safety squint evolution of a normal benchgrinder. i look forward to having no idea what this comment was talking about, its likely time to take the rambling insanity to sleep. word, yalls,.
