Good oil pressure, no check engine lights and she fired right up, I’m very happy for this and look forward to working on something else.

I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. Not only do you give out step by step information but your presentation (video editing) is excellent. very unique and well done for this self filmed “how to” automotive genre.
@sidhucer00789 Perhaps that was the issue, thanks for the comment.

i’ve been wrenchin’ for years and your hitting it on the head with this vid. going into a job relaxed and taking breathers is key. checking all your tools is another most. great vid soup to nuts.
@Jimmyretired Somedays it does seem that way but I’m actually about 30 miles from the shop, I used to live up the street from it but then I moved.
Good videos Eric, I was under the impression that you lived in your garage, how far is it from your home?

@EricTheCarGuy
ever since i started working on my car(s) regularly I’ve been playing mediation music
on the radio to keep myself calm when things don’t always want to work your way. turns out to be really helpful. when i swapped out the muffler on my car recently, instead of getting angry and ripping it off i cooled down, busted out the torch and heated the bolt until it broke off. welded it up and the car sounds great.
No hurt hands, un needed broken parts. thanks man
Hi Eric I feel your pain being in the same spot you have been and are now.
I have been a mechanic for many years I have had troubles with parts and bolts, I’m glad to see the truck running I have watch all 3 vids and they are put together every well.
@jet79637 That would be cool but I don’t have a place to put it really, perhaps some day.
@AutoTechHector Yea, I know the type, thanks for the comment.
@karkraz To be honest this is the first time I’ve ever had any trouble with a salvage yard engine, hence the reason I didn’t put a whole lot of effort into checking it out before I installed the first one.
@bossthadal I wouldn’t say idiot, sometimes people are just forgetful, never look a gift horse in the mouth. Free tools are free tools.
