    Thats good!

    That’s a video they DID have up before, I’d posted a link to it in the thread I started. They took it down, but have posted again, albeit with some pizza and beer pleas.

    I wonder if they’ve also resurrected the earlier/similar one? It’s in someone’s driveway, and the innards have massive gobs of stop-leak jello.

    That's a pretty nice video... Simple and to the point.
    I wished someone would tell people who make the videos NOT to use such annoying background
    music type of sounds...

    Oddly enough I took a shine to that music, seemed kinda purposeful. :barefoot:

    It's the same type of repetitive stuff nintento used to make the kids addictive to their games!
    And it worked.

    Yeah youngsters like me. :X3:

    Never torn down an engine before, but I'm working on it now for my 2010 prius in the Madison area. Who did you use for a machine shop around here?
