I will never understand people complaining about content. You make car repair interesting. That’s almost impossible. I’m constantly amazed that you can disassemble all these puzzle pieces on the car and get them back together again correctly. Plus knowing what you can whack with a hammer versus what you have to surgically tweeze out with tiny tools is fascinating. Watching your shop evolve and seeing your side projects is really entertaining. Sometimes when I’m out working in my yard, I’m just listening to you anyway. If I can’t see every bit of the job, no big deal. Internet trolls just live to tear down somebody else. They aren’t worth your time.

I NEVER do that. Before I would ever complain, I would need to be able to do better myself. Needless to say, I can't do better.

Anyone who has watched other mechanic's videos knows and appreciates that your camera work is always great. No one else takes the time and effort you do to get the shots, the lighting and the details like you. Great video work for a very challenging job.

just a quick hint on how to sort out the screws of the valve body a bit easier. Print out the picture of the valve body in a bigger format and fix/glue it on a cardboard. Take out the srew one by one and punch the screw at its position on the print through the cardbord. 🤯

Other than the comments, I don't understand what are people complaining about. For me it's a privilege to be able to watch the team working and repairing cars. I've seen things that I've never thought possible to watch. Usually, no mechanic likes to show what they're doing. Part two of this repair promises to be very good, but not so fun for Ray, having to work in such close quarters space.

Google Aircraft maintenance sheet metal spoons and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Hammering with the pry bar could damage mating surfaces and bend flanges whereas the spoons help seperate the mating surfaces without causing damage. As an fyi I love your channel

It's obvious, too, that you have a good resource for reference - whatever you used to help you get to that (probably the same source you use for tracing electrical). Thanks for another great video.
