    Great info on the compressor breaking down and sending debris through the system. My shop has been bitten on the backside a couple times due to trying to help customers out and just replacing the minimum. Now, we recommend replacing everything due to the liability.

    Hi ray, new fan here, enjoy your simple explanations of the complex systems. Very much enjoy your logical troubleshooting. I was in the military for 30 years about half of which as a helicopter mechanic. I appreciate how frustrating wrench turning can be at times and you do it with no cussing! I can recommend your channel to one of my grandsons!

    The sleeve on the thermometer will slow the response of the temp reading, but aside from that, there's no difference; the ultimate reading will be the same with or without the sleeve, just a difference in how long it takes to reach temp equilibrium

    Make sure those bolts go back in their correct location…. I’m not sure what years had a problem, but if the bolts are switched, the long bolt in the short bolt hole, it will pierce into the block oil passage… didn’t happen to me but have seen it done twice. The only real repair is a short block. Future reference only…..🥳

    It's about time I saw a Toyota on your lift similar to what I own. I have a Corolla that is a 1997 and it is still in good shape mechanically and for the most part, is completely reliable. It has close to 150k in mileage and it has been such a good car I had it repainted a few years back. I do change the oil and filters on schedule and it is on its 3rd set of tires but still has its factory-installed brakes. Not much in the ways of maintenance required if you don't hotdog it.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sean gage says:

    Wouldn't you be better high side charging as when you dump all that liquid in the high side it goes its natural way but through the low side you can wash the oil out the system. And pistons are full of liquid so you can't start the compressor straight away

    Hehe, he said dooty

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Graves says:

    I noticed you said that you like to initially charge to the low side of the system. This is in fact not a good idea if you are replacing a compressor in the system as the damaged one might have left very small amounts of debris in the system and affected the expansion valve. by initially charging on the high side, it allows the tech to observe the low side pressure to see if the expansion valve is clogged or damaged as the expansion valve meters liquid freon from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side. In other words, if the low side pressure does not come up and stabilize with the high side (compressor not on) we can conclude that there is likely an issue with the expansion valve.

    I thought all ac warranties for compressors required a condenser exchange and a new dryer or the warranty on the compressor was voided.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OK Boomer says:

    If you find debris in the A/C lines, isn't there a danger of contaminating the tank in your machine when you recover the refrigerant?

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MonkeyJedi99 says:

    The sleeve only potentially slows the temperature reading as the sleeve also has to be brought to temperature.

    Ray, isn't that a clutchless compressor

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Turpin says:

    When I was a tire tech at Goodyear proficiency was always what I strive for daily. I was the only man at our location that could do a set of ten on a semi in 45 to 50 minutes aired and bolted back on the truck. I had my way which was the correct way and others had their way which was wrong. I could do a single tire on a concrete mixer in 10 minutes and not even remove the wheel. I did calcium chloride filled construction equipment tires all the time there because I was the only one that got certified to do them. Guys would not like to go on big jobs with me cause I didn't allow them to sit around waiting on a tire to deflate. You can always be doing something. I've had to go to dump truck companies and dismount and mount 150 tires in a day and put them on the trucks. I was a bear before my body flat gave out on me. Lord I miss the work and the money too.

    ray what are your thoughts about scotty kilmer and chris fix?as individuals not against each other i mean there work

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phương Ma says:

    Honda with steering rack and steering pump , Toyota with A/C compressors inside look like metal shavings, have to change condenser and dryer , I thinks all this Toyota compressor damage is because high pressure switch not shut off compressor and let it keep running on and on until pressure built up and oil burn up and gas leaks out to orifice valves or orings

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justice says:

    very cool dude
