I actually bought one of those Etenwolf Batterypowered Aircompressors like 6 months ago (the exact same model as shown by you), since I have some of my cars, trailers and bikes stored on a property without power and that thing is indeed pretty good. I can easily pump up four cars (including their spare tires), two trailers and two bikes with only like half of the battery of it and its compact enough so that I usually always have it in my trunk should I need it while traveling. And it pumps the tires up pretty quickly. I also like that it simply shuts off once it reaches the set pressure target.

Here’s something that could actually possibly help you from now on whenever you do an engine painted pink for breast cancer and whenever you introduce us to the put a breast cancer link in the description.

It’s crazy how inappropriate KZbin ads are. I can watch wholesome family videos in the ads come on and it ruins it for the contact creator.

[@dgurevich1]

The ad reminded me of a law school lecture called "don't talk to the police" by professor James Duane where he said and I quote "did you know it can be a federal crime to be in possession of a lobster"

I truly appreciate the way you explain and teach the viewer about whatever you're working on. Not really dumbing it down but just more details and intuitive to the whole process. Thank you for that.

[@2SlayZGTE]

There are so many things I loved in this episode: leek/leak pun, crustacean cameo, the very informative explanations of turbos, electric water pumps, diesel operation, the very timely wisdom regarding time management/project progress and watching this engine being upgraded. FWIW, I love the pink paint on the engine! Thanks so much for providing the best education, entertainment, wisdom and encouragement on KZbin! As always, great music selection, Editor Duane! Y’all are amazing and awesome 🤩

[@ThaMythbuster]

YES! Honda Rousey was somehow the project I was most looking forward to!

[@KingKeson]

Honda Rousey will ride again!! Glad to see it getting some love. I’m also glad Clarence will survive his low air mishap!

[@natedawg6207]

Agreed, it's a good thing Etenwolf has the power to keep pumping while getting it up...

[@1mandanceparty]

20:38 yeah, Jared PINK…. Why would you want a PINK engine block? What a mystery 🤨

[@samb756]

The perfect framing of the recycle logo through the timing cover back plate that starts around the 5 minute mark made me chuckle.

[@JRs-Garage]

Jared , I’m super excited to see this engine get built , put a hybrid oil pan on ,those stock ones are glass and break! Also great to see the PD150 intake I do all my ALH builds with them but I also custom bore out a stock PD150 shutter valve to protect against runaway! ( I remove the egr valve and bore it as big as possible up to the plate)It still flows well but will shut the air off if your turbo seals go and feed the engine 🤪race pipes are risky Also tune in a 4200 rpm rev limit you’ll thank me later😂

[@Slyder42]

So happy to see Honda Rousey get some love. I am excited! I loved the 80s and 90s Hondas back in the day and still do.

[@Rogue_FiveR5]

Hey, Jared, great to see you working on that Honda again. I just made the very questionable choice of bringing home a 95 Silverado 5.7 5 speed with color shift paint. I parked it at Wally World last night and as I was walking in, I heard a guy say "Look at that F'n Truck!" Man, that put a smile on my face.

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding and awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@xFlow150]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the parasitic loss of the water pump removal isn't really gone just moved to a different component: the altenator. Instead of a directly driven waterpump the alternator now has to work harder to keep the battery charged because of the extra load the electric water pump will put on the battery. It could be that the efficiency is higher, the load is however still present.

[@MarcoTedaldi]

True. But you can run the water pump independently of the motor rpm. Either just run de pump at a constant speed or even regulate the speed dependant on temperature/load.

[@jordanbabbitt9091]

So glad to see progress on the best project on the channel 😌😉

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

[@christinecillo1015]

I used a needle gun a lot when I worked in a job shop in the 90's. They are deafening!

[@turbhoeheflin1168]

If you rotate the engine side ways you’ll have less struggle with those bolts. Instead of trying to spin the stand in a circle you’ll be trying to flip it end over end which it won’t do.

[@DMan1198]

One of my dream swaps with a VW tdi is into a 67-73 Dodge Dart. With a full pro touring suspension setup and chassis stiffening it feels like it would be a corner carving weapon for a 450whp car. On the front of head bolts, if you're someone who continually modifies their stuff I don't know if I agree with putting another tty fastener in when you can reuse a set of studs and not be out the cost of a set of head bolts plus the cost of a set of studs when you invariably need to go back into it after scattering the bottom end because you just had to go for that little bit more.

[@hopingforthebest1.9]

Nice! Honestly the ALH is exactly what I'd swap in, even stock those things are stout!

[@Trueno1600]

I never realised that those TDi's had reverse-flow heads... With the Germans always nerding out on engineering and aiming for the best, I have a bit of trouble understanding this design choice... Is it only for packaging reasons? Anyways, I have a Jeep Comanche with an anemic 4-banger also with a reverse flow head that I was thinking of diesel-swapping... The fact that this VW engine would put those manifolds on the passenger side, where I have lots of empty space, instead of almost touching the brake master, would be an actual advantage!!!!
