It's "comforting" to know that my shop isn't the only one doing multiple "do-overs" . I absolutely understand Paul's frustration with having to do things over .

I hope Michelle is getting over the pains from her accident. My beloved 1965 Coronet 440 had a 4 speed. The 4 speed seemed to be bullet proof. If practical, swapping in a 4 speed might solve a lot of transmission problems. That car is going to be a fun ride for the winner!

[@jayramsey4953]

Copper Coat works amazing on header gaskets. Clean the cylinder head and header really well. Put a heavy coat on each and put some on the header gasket. Then tighten the header bolts nice and snug. Wait 24 hours and it should seal nicely. It saved me a couple times.

@@johnme7049 seeing as I am an engineer I would hope I didn't fall for a basic scam but thank you for the warning that they gave in the last video or my own tech blocking it all

[@quietcool74]

Are you certain that you don't have too much trans fluid in it? They will leak out of the front overflow until the level is correct. It happens a lot when you check it in park instead of neutral.

[@scubasteve7946]

Yeah, I don't think they had it idling when filling it up, but the mopar always has to be in neutral and running to check trans level. Good suggestion.

[@haresplitter]

If it was me I would run it until it's warm and check it properly and make sure that's not the case before pulling the tranny again. Because you are 100% correct 727 will leak out until it's happy if it's overfilled.

[@Tachyon62]

My wife is a vet tech and besides styptic powder (aka QuickStop), corn starch works as well. These are used for if (then) you trim dogs nails a tad too close and they'll bleed.

[@DonAshcraft]

Michelle! If you're still doing the editing you have become really really good. I like how you spend a little time showing what your kids do around the shop. Families are everything. 🙂 Also the map that you had pop up that shows the distance Paul has to go to get parts was really helpful and entertaining. I'm a long time Colorado guy and we visit Utah a lot. It's simply a great state just like Colorado. But I don't know how far Paul has to go for parts, so the map feature you added was pretty darn cool. Keep up the great work guys! Love your channel!

[@chrispennington8053]

I enjoy watching your projects. Your entire crew is entertaining.

[@luism3930]

If I remember correctly a few episodes ago Paul said he could torque bolts using the impact gun by “feel”. 😂

[@feathorn98]

Yup. A lot of mechanics think they can too. I'm certain hundreds of thousands of engines and transmissions have been scrapped because of this.

[@johnme7049]

@Luis M Just a FYI, You have NOT been selected except to be scammed. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR IT! These A*Holes are hitting everyone it seems just looking for suckers.

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

Yeah I was thinking it was because of using the impact to put them in. I'd never use an impact to put cap screws into aluminum, hell I don't even use an impact to tighten screws into steel unless it's just a bracket or something.

[@dodgeman1978]

the exhaust bolts that go into the water jacket need to be studs,regular bolts even with sealent will start to leak ask me y i know😀

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

And all kinds of fun stuff happens when you put a big cam in one without checking the valve guide height. Then there's the not oiling through the push rod thingy.

[@mikeroup2721]

True enough. I used studs and good gaskets on my 440 so I didn't have to redo them afterwards. Can't just drop in a gasket from above with the studs but never had a leak. My early BMW (320i) has exhaust bolts opening into the oil passage! What fun to find out the former owner used bolts instead of studs. My car caught on fire shortly after the front bolt vibrated loose. Was 300 miles from home and had to drive it back. Bought a fire extinguisher for the trip. Caught on fire once more on the way home. I started pulling over every 50 miles to retighten. Changed over to studs the next day. Good Times!

Love heli-coils. When the alternative is to weld up and re-tap they are lifesavers.

[@tt600pch]

Heli-Coils are okay. E-Z Lok inserts are a solid insert. They are replaceable, come in several wall thicknesses and take standard tap sizes. We used them in the sawmill for thread replacements in aluminum saw guides that had bolts taken in and out with every saw change.

[@MrDan1509]

Heli-Coils are a thing of the past, Time Sert is the only way to go when needing an insert!

[@Clean97gti]

yeah, I sure wouldn't relish the idea of welding up an oily hole in a thin aluminum casting. Ugh.

Matt, sorry to hear about your up coming surgery, I suggest talking to a ostomy nurse or ostomy group before surgery so your mind will be at ease afterwards, I had surgery at age 36, now almost 79 in two weeks. You can still do everything as before, just chew your food completely . Good luck.
