    I understand not using old cotter pins, throw them away, and use a nail, and don't forget to bend it over!

    I just caught myself doodle doodle doing with the phone 😂

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wade Jones says:

    Regular combination plyers tips straight onto a 3 prong hose clamp works great and don't slip off.
    Thanks for your videos. I learn a lot.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Kennedy says:

    I always used a cardboard box with 16 holes in it, all numbered. Stick each pushrod in each hole

    No room for Rust on this car, Grease has Coated Everything-whole front assembly would make it through several winters up north with little worry…

    I don’t know if anyone else agrees, but you sir, are NOT a mechanic, you are an automotive artist!

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Gould says:

    Thourough:) damn what a mess.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Gould says:

    I read in an old western book how long pipes with wide mouth at the top of a mountain were filled with water and the pipes got narrower at the bottom and the psi created washed away the mountain.

    FYI
    GravityLight was a gravity-powered lamp manufactured until 2019. It was designed by the company Deciwatt for use in developing or third-world nations, as a replacement for kerosene lamps. It uses a bag filled with rocks or earth, attached to a cord, which slowly descends similar to the weight drive in a cuckoo clock.

    You found that mosquito…

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

    Excuse…we found a plastic dip stick out on the street .

    Brake parts cleaner can be very dangerous if it is the non flammable kind, they use chlorine as and active ingredient that can cause problems when inhaled. So be aware

    Blood sugar ain't no joke. I'll be really off, not thinking straight, pissed off easily. Grab some OJ and peanut butter crackers and I'm a different person.

    Love the rammstein playing in the background

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bc42875 says:

    How do you remember where all the bolts go back? When I do jobs like this I have to label everything. You got a much better memory than me. Great video.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Wieber says:

    I have to do this job on my 06 Monte Carlo with the 3.9L V6 and I'm not looking forward to it at all because of that back side.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Baker says:

    Your videos are awesome. You have fun at work!! I believe work is more enjoyable when you have fun

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hmmm, says:

    That talking hand is a great mechanic.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dracolegacy says:

    there is another 2 bolts in the back? that's acceptable grammar right?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars xshanghu says:

    With an impact wrench and an assortment of pry bars, I could have been a mechanic!

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars audichris100cs says:

    end nippers work fantastic on those 3 prong spring clamps

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TIT DIRT says:

    Reeeeeeee you left the intake ports wide open. Yikes!

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Flanagan says:

    I'm laughing my ass off about the 3 prong hose clamps right before you said nothing works well on them I said the exact same thing. They're horrible horrible connectors they indent onto the hose and when you try to remove them that indent stop you from simply pulling them straight back and they always pop off if you shift the grip

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars saultube44🇺🇦 says:

    So glad that there are a second video. These GM engines and systems a re designed like ass. As a no-mechanic-at-all I enjoyed this every min. immensely; thanks a bunch. Going to watch the 3rd video. Cheers

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D33p Six says:

    How unfortunate that GM chose to not use the Honda engines in these.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Libner says:

    Linesman pliers usually work on those spring clamps.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars T.J says:

    Pretty thorough at what you do bro….and most of all your a honest mechanic by the looks of it.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Mowers says:

    this video is fake, no one has a 10mm socket, sheesh lol

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bowhunters says:

    Good stuff Ray !

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Bush says:

    Ray, I'm about to do this same work on my wife's van. If I get it done without any problems and by following your example, I swear I'm going to find a way to ship you some beer or something.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Plummer says:

    What kind of gasket scrapers were those?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scottie Winn says:

    good job dude!!!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Diamond says:

    Love the program Rainman Ray , Been wrenching for a few decades. You got too eat brother , that feist or fammine diet will get you in a heap of medical trouble.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gtfd says:

    Ray, I'm from the future. Look out for the hose fitting on the intake – don't brake it man!

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Saunders says:

    Duck bill pliers work well on those tension clamps. I use them on my Toyotas.

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

    That's a p*ss poor design on that engen, I've had more that one to come into the shop with coffee with creamer in the block.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Catherine Morgan says:

    I know I wouldn't tell you what I think of your job don't have the knowledge to do that may ask questions about what you're doing to learn sad that people are like that get on your case

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Fisher says:

    You want a comment? I want an oil bath – but by a beautiful blond female.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Holstrom says:

    I have had a few of those distributor adapter o rings leak. You do a great job. Keep the videos coming. After 47 years I still enjoy occasionally getting my hands dirty.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Mefford says:

    Most of that brake cleaner will evaporate before it hit the oil pan when you blow air on it it dries fast almost immediately.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cat22 says:

    Why are the push rods interleaved with the gasket? I can't think of a single reason to design it that way.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Silent Woodfire says:

    Do they even make Saturns anymore?
