Smart people cut relief holes 16-inch on both sides of those valve cover bolts in the sheet metal down low. Dumbass

Does anyone now if GM upgraded the valve cover/pcv vent on 2012 5.3 engines . My 2012 Sierra used about a quart of oil between oil changes so I'm wondering if this fix would help or it was already done at the factory ?

I’ve realized that these are great accessories when you’re harvesting wood and saving battery/gas. Mini chainsaws for limbing, regular chainsaw for bucking.

I would have preferred the fan not running while you were talking. Unnecessary noise?

The company that selling this saw don’t give out contact number I bought one twice it worked then nothing it is sat in my shed still no contact number I will be contacting consumer rights this has not gone through enough tests

I just ordered one. The discription says it has a brushless motor, which is better with longer life than a simple motor. Can you confirm that the motor is brushless?

Initially I thought you said you had white smoke and then later he said blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. Then much later in the video you said you found a leaking valve cover gasket on the passenger side. I didn't see how the two are related

I think he said 6 inch pounds then later you said 106 for the top of the valve cover 4 bolts. Older engines it is recommended buying new rubber grommets for even pressure.

I did my 2005 LS engine 5.3. has a permanent PCV valve. Started blowing out bluish-white smoke on some startups. So I did some TH-cam searches found out this is very common for these years. I removed the driver side valve cover and drilled 10 holes in the baffle. What would I put it back on I use the old gasket and the original 4 grommets on the top four bolts that hold the valve cover on. People suggested always buy a new soft rubber grommets so that it will put even pressure on the valve cover when you tighten them down. Otherwise when you tighten down the old ones it's much more difficult to get even pressure and it will result in a leak of oil down on the exhaust manifold which is what happened to me so now I've got to go back and try to figure out how to loosen up some of the bolts and maybe tighten some others I don't know.

You have the best demeaner as you work on your truck. Thank you for the video. I have a 2005 Silverado 5.3L , LS with bad oil leak issues. I want to tackle replacing both valve covers. I'll tell you General Motors really dropped the ball on Chevy trucks with the 5.3L motors. I inherited my truck because my '03 was totaled because of the frame bent from a rear end collision. My regret is I should have kept it as a salvage. I bought it new of the factory semi that brought it to the Dealer in Arlington, Tx. and I took care of it like a baby. It only had 103,000 miles on it. I will refer to your video in case I need to. But really thanks a million, it is the best video out there that I've seen. New sub.Question, what is the brand name of the valve covers and where did you purchase them?

Best review, great job, thanks.

It won’t let you print black and white if it’s out the color a color! I don’t need color.

I wonder if you could put a 6 inch blade on the 4 inch unit?

The oil Lay's agent the gasket, at all times, so it more than likely was leaking, but the grommets probably shrank and hardened too.

Labor charges at dealerships are so outrageously high, the only way they can get customers to use them is to design everything so it's a PITA to work on one's self. Thanks for the great video! I hate car dealers and the so called engineers who design today's motor vehicles. A good example is my Dodge Grand Caravan where the upper and lower air intakes must be removed to change the spark plugs. I'd like to meet the moron who designed that mess. The dealerships charge around 3 hours labor to change the plugs. It can be done in less than an 90 minutes if one uses the shortcuts that are posted on you tube.

The problem is that the hole is to small,,just drill it out to a larger size,,takes about 5 seconds,,It will solve the problem..

I bought the 6 inch to get the case & all the extras. Then i ordered a separate 4 inch bar. Best of both worlds.

How do unlock my 6 inch shaker Chan saw

Does the 2010 Sierra have the same built in pcv valve?

Man makes want to go and build stuff😹😹

That’s what I call craftsmanship! 🔥

This is the Best small chainsaw comparison video in TH-cam.

Excellent demonstration of this mini-chainsaw. Looks good. Glad I bought one. It arrives tomorrow. Thanks.

Just got my 6" one it's great for cutting pallets for kindling £60❤

You just created another problem at the car wash getting the intake wet where your knock sensors sit holding water

👀 P r o m o s m

love your videos!

Great video and all. But my question, I did an oil change 2 months ago , because I did a flush on my engine since I got a lifter tick. It went away after the 3rd oil change .. but today that I checked my dipstick , it was dryer than a bone. Can that be an issue or why it burned my oil this quick ?

Could you have just replaced the grommet instead of taking it all apart

Great job man.

An extra $44 gets you a longer chain blade and an extra battery. For me, that's a no-brainer.

Im still losing a lot of oil WTF I already change it

Chevy never could get their PCV system right. Best place for that valve is toward the front of the valve cover with a baffle. Same with their EVAP systems, just can't seem to get them right. Of course the LS motors are junk to begin with.

1-Original valve cover had the slots. GM's "fix" was a joke. Opening up the hole by the pipe nipple works. Gotta clean the orifice like in this video (passenger side also). 2- I doubt that much oil came from the grommet, but you washed it. 3- What's that AFM sticker on your brake reservoir? Did you have that deleted? If not, amazing it hasn't failed by now.

I've been looking for info on (what I believe to be) this same problem! I'll be doing this very soon. Thank you for recording all of this, AND for posting the update that it seemed to fix your issue.

Thank you for your testing and comparison. You answered so many questions I had on this product.

10/10 gate, well designed with strong bones and easy slat replacement in a decade or two.

Love the handmade tool but it ought to a thinner back for better line of sight to cutting surface. 7/10 handsaw

How much working time did you get from a single charge?

I like this style of video. It feels like we're alongside you every step of the way. 👍🏽

Did this fix the problem? Does it still burn oil?

this guy is a clown will not tell you the problem till after , not worth the time , don't waste your time

Whats the updated version for the valve covers?

Thank you for the video. Instructive and interesting.

This may seem like a stupid question, but will a 4" replacement chain fit the 4" model saw? I can't see how a 4" chain will reach from the sprocket to the tip of the guide bar. The instructions are useless.

Just received my 6" version and had some fun cutting back a mulberry tree. I'm a 69 year old gramma who's nervous of electric tools. But this is the best impulse buy I've done in years. Thanks for the review.

er, erm.

Excellent video. I have a 2005 GMC with the 5.3 V8 and the oil consumption/burn is getting worse. I would attempt the process that you showed us but I'm not confident enough to do it right now. I do believe that it would help. Well done!

Hello guys, This past weekend replaced the cover on my 2012 ppv tahoe 5 3, but I noticed that I had already the updated cover, my problem is little weird, no cold start smoke, no hight rpm's smoke, but when Im going down a hill just iddling when acelerate back trow bunch of smoke (blue), but after that no smoke. Untill iddle againg for like 10 seconds

My 11 came factory with updated valve cover. I still think it’s all results of the short dome cover. They damn near set on the rockers.
