I have the basic tools to do the majority of the driveway repairs needed to keep my vehicles on the road but it is content like this that helps me to figure out what I need to learn to be able to repair something that I haven't tackled before with a lot more confidence than the old Haynes or Chilton manual ever did.

Hey Alex, an easy way to deal with a locking gas cap that you don't have a key for is with a radiator hose removal tool. Or any tool that is like a heavy duty pick shapes like a hook. Just run the hook under the cap and lift up around the outer edge and the cap will come right off .

I enjoy this series because it's very familiar from my time working in a small garage in the late 90s. I had 1 customer that was a judge and she always liked her corvettes and vipers. I was in my 20s and looked like I was in my teens. She was very worried I was too young to know how to tune up her cars. Once after a brake job. I gave her a few old bolts I had in our stock and said " I have a few extra for some reason" She went into my bosses office and yelled at him. But then realized I pranked her. I became her favorite.

Hi alex i wanted to point out that at 43:55 you shouldn't put dialectric grease inside where the spark plug mount into the boot . Dialectric grease are an electrical isolator not a conductor so you want it all around the electrical connection for it to not jump into near by metal surfaces but not directly between the 2 connection ie the boot and the spark plug end . It will make it harder for spark to go through the isolator
@davelowets
@davelowets Год назад
Huh?? It's SUPPOSED to go inside the rubber boot. The grease makes it easier to install and remove, and it seals the boot to help keep the moisture out, and the spark in. Where do YOU think you are supposed to put it, all over the outside of it? 😕🤦🏻
@Dh.p3
@Dh.p3 Год назад
@@davelowets not outside . he should cover the walls inside the boot or cover the white porcelain part of the spark plug with the grease before installing the boot on the spark plug , and being carefull not to put the grease where the spark plug metal end meets with the matal wire inside the boot and grease becomes between the two connectors . If that happen the grease will isolate electricity between the two connections because its an isolator. Thats what i mean .

Alex, dielectric grease is exactly that, dielectric. It is an insulating grease. That stuff should be used after the termination is made. The terminal should make dry solid contact with source of power then apply dielectric to the termination. A lot of folks apply that stuff to battery terminals before installing the battery cable when it is intended to be applied after the cable is already installed and tight.

@ryano8613 Год назад
Yes!! Insulator not isolator!! I do use it on electrical plugs and spark plug boots among other places but not on battery terminals. Just my preference.unless you want old junk but otherwise just always Use a terminal isolator and good, clean, tight terminals and you will never see any build up of acids. Another good idea is to ALWAYS on aluminum heads use a very small amount of antiseize on spark plug threads so that you can safely achieve proper torque on plugs and later be removed!! And for header/mani. Bolts/studs I always use either Stainless steel spray or zinc spray on fasteners b4 and after installation! Old timer trick that was passed to me years ago lol! And don't forget to isolate your plug wires for passive interference reduction. Haha

You should do what I did and build a cabinet to put your ultrasonic cleaner in. I lined the inside of mine with sound dampening material. No more high pitched scritch sound.

I believe that phantom vacuum hose is the HVAC vent selector vacuum. A far as the water pump weep hole, JB-weld a 90 degree brass elbow on it and use a silicone hose to route the dump behind the optispark thowards the ground.

Watching you guys deal with these spark plugs makes me so thankful for my 4.6L Ford 2v and 5.7L Hemi plugs. Right on top by the intake manifold and right thru the valve cover! lol

Dont be so thankful for the Ford.... The earlier ones had a tendency to blow the plugs right out of those "easy to reach" heads, and take all the threads along with it. 👎

I'm watching this 3 days after it's posted. You stated you're "almost at 800k subs" and as of the the moment I'm writing this, you're at 814k subs. I think it's clear you'll be at 1M by year end and you deserve it! You're a great RU-vidr and a great husband/father. I think we (your subs) should start a campaign to get you to 2M by Christmas!

I just gotta say that I love watching you and Peter work on the cars that you get. I really love the cars that you work on simply due to them being regular affordable cars that for the most part anybody can obtain and fix themselves. In fact, the biggest reason I love watching your videos is because they motivate me to work on my cars every single time, even if my car don’t have any due maintenance, I will look everywhere in my car to find anything i can check and or clean….if nothing comes up then at the very least I will clean my engine bay and or detail my car……for that I thank you!!!! Also, which car do you think has less work space in the engine bay and is harder to access and remove spark plugs, is it the LT1 Corvette? Or the LT1 Camaro/Firebird?

Alex and ピーター, great video. I have a 1996 LT1 Camaro SS and it took us 4 hours to change the plugs, the passenger side rear plug I had to get my (then) 16 year old daughter to change that one because of how much room there was (or wasn’t in this case). I got local mechanic friend of mine to change the wires, it took him 2 days because there were metal shields OVER the plug wires running BEHIND the manifolds. He ended up having to drop the exhaust manifolds (and a BUNCH of other stuff) to get to the bolts that held those shields on. My Camaro has 47k miles on it, but that’s the last time I’m changing the plugs and wires 😏
