    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...

    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:

    (IIRC you’ve mentioned your age once or twice, in your (spry) eighties or nineties?)

    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?
