Oh you _did_ go floating hubs on that RX-7... interesting.

speedway closed there doors ---oh noooo

Great video!!!! Excited for next weeks video 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Talked to them 1st of the week. Bought all stock and proprietary info.

Congratulations Jesse! I'm sure the buyer is thrilled.

Congrats on the sale, what an awesome vehicle! Thanks for the behind the scenes look at BAT! That was pretty interesting.

wow wonderfully done! Just one question, would you worry when engine still on car and drill burrs might fall back inside engine?

Is pressing the bearing into the tub of grease then flipping it and spin it good enough for packing it?

The right way, the wrong way, and the needlessly complicated German way. I understand that things time out. On a cylinder head like that SB2 unit, what are the areas of concern?

I'll be bringing you something to fill up that empty space in 3 weeks. Lol

I worked as a Audi/VW tech for 47 years and yes Germans do things differently, but usually in a good way.

Nothing wrong with filling the hub cavity with some grease after properly packing the bearing.

Can you post a link to the hood light?

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!! I would love to see how you sand cylinder heads. Im interested in doing my own work and alway want to learn more. 🙏🏻

Jesse, as a transmission builder for the Ruck's and Sam Myers and others, I love this, congrats! 2017 runoffs STL I got 1-2 as a trans builder as well as Rucks Daytona win in 2015. It is hard for some to understand the pride that goes into some simple builds, but I feel it.

Watching from New Zealand. Enjoyed all the tech talk.

I watched this video before I did my oil pan, but I didn't follow it to a T. Lo and behold the oil pan leaked. It's been 4 months since then and I am finally trying again. This time I will follow every direction. Like you said, we learn most of our lessons the hard way!

Great advice on the fuel cell foam! It’s crazy how many racers have no idea it needs replaced periodically. In the formula car the cell actually failed while sitting in the garage untouched. Leaked gasoline all over the garage floor. That’s how I learned that lesson. The next car I bought I asked about the foam. It had NEVER been changed and it was 15 years old! The guy sounded really doubtful about it so I showed him. Sure enough, disintegrated foam through the whole fuel system so I was able to negotiate quite a bit.

I use a calibrated wooden dowel as my fuel dip stick

Nice job as always

What is your technique for "sanding" the block and keeping debris and grit out of the engine?

Which underhood work light did you get? I assume it uses rechargeable batteries. USB-C connection?

Well done!

Great video! Thanks from Sweden 👍🇸🇪

Thanks for the video

I can remember my father telling me the best way to the finish was to complete one job at a time! Still try to do that!

Jesse, Bryon Prokopf in St. Louis has a parts car Mazda 2 and I’m sure it has the rocker you need. I’ll send you his contact info. He may have a door, not sure.

I like to start my rebuilding the week after my last event Then you can't say i didn't have enough time!

On the 1.6 diff, do you do anything to make it stronger? Those early diffs are notorious for busting the ring and pinion.

You may have to consider buying a wrecked or flood car from COPART and making it your donor. It's only a matter of time till you need another body part.

Did that for many years! But now I use the BluePoint packer.

Not to be too critical, but the premise of using "torque indicator" markers and pens is to show that a fitting has been properly torqued, and give visual evidence if it has migrated; the idea of marking anything that has merely been tightened, to some vague, ambiguous level that has no relationship to actual specification torque values seems really contrarian, and implies the user holds a set of ideas about being superior to the actual engineers who designed and created specs in the factory.

Another fun Shop Tour. Happy Halloween and enjoy the party!

Great shop tour, really enjoy Halloween parties,but it’s a long drive from SE Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

I enjoyed the SCCA calendar for years, to bad they ended

Great racing at RA. Congratulations Thanks for all the videos on a regular basis. Do you winterize the race cars, coolant, etc. even if the cars are stored inside?

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing

Your podcasts are always on my watch list. I'm almost finished with watching the run off races for this year. And there is one thing that I question and ask for your input. Why all the full coarse yellows? Back in the day {70s and 80s} the yellow was for the effected area and then back to green. There seems to be a lot of races that finish following the pace car. I'll bet you and your fellow drivers would much prefer to have the opportunity to race for the checker.

What's your take on using sealant with a cork oil pan gasket? I've got a Ford Courier with the stock Mazda 1.8 and the factory manual calls out putting the OEM Mazda sealant on both the pan and the block. Have you seen that work well in your experience or just use one or the other?

I’ve resealed my motor 4 times and am about to give up on this motor. Every seal keeps blowing after around 500 miles. valve cover, cas doing, cam seals, front and rear main, and oil pan. Now it also appears the head gasket failed and is ejecting oil as well.dont get what the issue is

I am trying to rebuild my EJ25 engine for my Suby and this job is killing me. I just can't get em and damaged the rings so getting news soon and we'll try again....but thanks for the video.

Great win Jesse!

Any chance you could elaborate a little on the water pump belt a cog setup on the FP miata you have there?

Thats way too much😂😂😂😂

Congratulations on your Runoff's win. This is a gem of a channel that should be getting much more attention.

Good to keep busy, idle hands are the devil’s playground.

Well done!

Continue to pack grease from one side only till it oozes out the other side is the correct way.

Just keep going from the back side until it comes out of the top, then there's no chance of gaps. It obviously moves around so it's not critical, but why not do it right to begin with?
