    I don't think this engine had coolant, seems like water, that's why so much sludge and rust.

    In France, such a mixture of oil and coolant is nicknamed "mayonnaise" ! Anyway , it's a huge lot of work to basically change a gasket ! That remember me of the US computers that I repaired in the 1970s : each part seemed to have been designed by a separate team and no brain to oversee the result and say :" design that part a little differently and the maintenance would be faster".
    Exactly what happened on Apollo 13 when they discover that air filters had different shapes in the different modules of the same vehicle. Your patience and your work are admirable.

    Ray, I feel your pain on some of these repairs. Dex was such a horrible product and ended up costing G.M. and customers a fortune. Recalls, G.M. extending warranty coverages, very public T.S.B.'s, and the poor people that didn't qualify had to pay out of pocket. Can almost tell a lot of the time how much you are unhappy with certain repairs because no doodeedoo when the phone rings and yet you maintain a level of poise, composure, and professionalism that is awesome. Thumbs high!!!👍

    You or your shop should purchase a Glass Bead Blaster. It does not remove metal but, does remove rust, corrosion, baked on paint. It does clean out ports.. I have one and I use it frequently.

    Its great to see these episodes. I have learned a lot from your video. Thanks 😊

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JimAirborne25 says:

    I had to Google images of that lower intake manifold to make sure some of the corrupted files weren’t of Ray using an air hammer to utilize the rarely used “just right attachment” or specially made on the spot item to pound out the square shaped clogs he seemed to miss that offered “no flow.”

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars purtis99 says:

    Might have been easier just to swap the motor out

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B A says:

    Did you ever clean out those rear ports on the lower intake?
    And maybe use a shop vac to suck out the debris from everything. Especially the ports at the back of the engine. Who knows what's still in there with the fluid.

    This is the Main Reason to Use Distilled Water to your Antifreeze Solution, Zero Metal Minerals in Distilled Water–No Sludge Build Up if you always use this Method…

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PAW Walton says:

    Looks like a standard Dexcool system restore. WHY after all this would you put that crap back for coolant?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Pryce says:

    I have to charge you for the like button for just 20buck lol

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Robinson says:

    Never seen the spider fuel injection ontill this video.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thoridin58 says:

    Kind of makes me glad I gave up the idea of changing my 2001 Sonoma (GMC S10) 2.2 4cyl with the 4.3 V6.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Monk says:

    Hope my '01 Dodge 5.9 waterpump replacement won't be this complicated

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    I'm surprised you didn't put another clear glass in front our go pro to simulate smearing it in our faces…dats skank
    That's up there with people who NEVER changed their oil…

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars K S says:

    Eric O has a video of him doing a Grand Prix and the coolant looked just like that that brownish/orange cakey material

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Camaro says:

    Why are the ends the only gunky areas

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug says:

    I had to turn this off part way through.Could not believe you did this with the intake ports unprotected 😱. Takes seconds to do. Sorry Ray thats just unforgivable. Im an industrial mechanic so i feel more than justified at criticising your method. You normally do great work but in this case…………….🧐

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Seafarer Bones says:

    Very thorough job. Another fine production WITHOUT CHILDISH NOISES. Excellent.

    It looks like someone was using Ga well water to fill the system

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jwest142 says:

    I always called that anit-freeze "death cool". It's horrible, it destroys just about anything it touches. Ray, you should be wearing a Tyvec suit….it might destroy you….lol. Love your videos, keep it up.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Skyscraper says:

    What the frig would cause that blockage?!?

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AV84USA says:

    Rather poor hygiene. One does not clean their kitchen with a leaf blower.

    Imagine if a surgeon used a blower instead of suction?

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ivor says:

    You should use a shop vac to clean out that gunk.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TL Stanbro says:

    Why is the intake holes blocked off won’t this happen again down the road

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Edwin Bruno says:

    How do you get so much mud in the cooling system?

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Me Here says:

    on my Alooooooomin-Numb V6 VS Holdén Commodé L36 I stukk a hosé into the Cylindér hedd to flush the coolunt Passage-Whey out 😲😲😨😨

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tracey Jones says:

    It's amazing the depth of work that is involved taking something apart and then remembering how it all goes bake together I'm surprised the motor did not blow and even the heads you would think the customer would have learned there lesson the first time but perhaps there elderly just assuming on my part.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bowhunters says:

    You needed a fork and spoon to dig the sludge out of this engine! 6.6K thumbs up!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars W Greathouse says:

    With them two rear ports being blocked the way they are I would have walked away from that job.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam R says:

    You missed you’re chance to title this “Jimmy gets a colonoscopy”

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DivideBy Zero says:

    That engine really needed a serious dose of ExLax. Oh man, was that a mess.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry Simpson says:

    Wonder that engine didn't blow up

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Patrick Trepp says:

    A dental-type suction device may work.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eddie Bone says:

    What's it been filled with, river water ?

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paciencia 095 says:

    Wow you really enjoy using the silicone, thats a bit too much silicone imho.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BLucas says:

    Wow… you try to justify not pre-filling oil filters due to 'contamination'… yet you abrasive wheel the hell out of an open engine.. FloridaMan goes one step above J*ffy Lube.. unbelieveable

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars q80aziz says:

    Always 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paulness says:

    Whats the worst thing your finger has been in? Id imagine this (insert term your imagination has conjured) has to be within the top 10%.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars V Mc says:

    Isnt there some chemical to flush the cooling system ?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars V Mc says:

    How do you remember where all those wires go ? Oh, wait – you have a video !

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Wentworth says:

    And this is why you don't use stop leak

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ken Corrneti says:

    OMG! I said on the 1st video, "I'd just use Prestone Cooling System Flush and send it." Now I see the UGLY, THICK, NASTY SLUDGE! How deep does that crap go?

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bob konarski says:

    i have swapped the dexcool out of every gm i ever had even if they ere brand new

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bob konarski says:
