      Alex, I don't know why you guys just didn't pull the engine out? It would have made your life a lot easier to work on that engine. The engine is small enough and not that complicated to disconnect. Yeah, it may have seem like more work in the beginning, BUT you guys would have had a lot easier time fixing everything with the engine out. IMO

      I have not met a man who likes drama interjected into their car/house/woodworking/motorcycle channel. I think there's a script committee with a network approved formula from episode TV. They believe they'll attract "other viewers" - AKA not just men - if there's drama and cat fights between the "cast". This ridiculous artificial drama and shop people told to pretend they're actors ruins the show.
      Best example of how to do it right is "This Old House". The most drama you'd get is a polite disagreement on the merits of Robertson vs Philips screws.

    On the drill bit depth, tip I learned long ago is to use masking tape wrapped numerous times around the point you want it to stop at. Much better than trying to visually look for a black marker line on a spinning bit in the bad light working under a car.

      @@treeguyable This, though not necessarily vacuum line, is the absolute best way IMHO. Depending on the size of the bit you're working with might use clear vinyl tubing, vac line, fuel line, hydraulic line, or even some pvc pipe.
      It provides a tactile physical resistance to going any deeper than you're supposed to go.
      Don't get me wrong. I have done sharpie and tape. A lot. I just find using something as a sleeve to be substantially better if it's possible.
      If I was in the position of delorean midwest where I was having to safely do this exact job repeatedly, I would probably even make up some sleeves out of mild steel bar stock on a drill press.

    A little tip for removing those broken studs, don't heat the stud but heat the area around it or let the stud cool and transfer the heat into the area around it so it's not expanding into the threads around it.

    • @commonsenseisdeadin2024
      @commonsenseisdeadin2024 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Where did you get that tip?
      That isn't going to do anything for you, the issue isn't because it's "too tight".
      Heating the stud will harden the brittle steel and the other issue is galling......(This is why sometimes it removes the threads!) Or if they are iron heads we call it rust!
      That said...... If you have aluminum heads, DO NOT install stainless bolts dry! If you think steel bolts are a pain..... Well as the saying goes; "fuk around and find out"!

    • @jeremymann8930
      @jeremymann8930 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @commonsenseisdeadin2024 worked on my all aluminum 6.2 very well, after I tried the way they showed here and had the same results. If you heat the part that the bolt or stud threads into, then you create clearance between the threads and anything that's stuck on them, which frees up the bolt/stud.

    • @bret7306
      @bret7306 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The heat in the head breaks the bond to the stud's threads. It weakens the molecular changes that occurred over the years, allowing the stud to break FREE of the thread lock, not break the stud.

    A 1958 MGA, in 1964 I was a junior in high school and I bought the MGA and pulled it in the garage. This is in Minnesota so the snow was feed high. My father and friends disassembled the car and brought it down the basement, where we restored it over the following year and a half. In March 1966 the car was complete and we hauled it up to the garage and reassembled it. I only had a gallon of gasoline so my father said he would follow me to the gas station, we pulled out of the driveway and went down to main street where I sat with my left turn signal on for 2 to 3 minutes waiting for traffic to clear my father honked and I pulled out with him behind me. I got approximately 3/4 of a block from my street And the local police pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket for 45 in a 30 failure to stop, and not using my turn signal. My father just about blew . It was impossible for a 58 MGA to go from 0 to 45 miles an hour in 1200 feet. My father and I took the cop to court where the judge laughed and said the cop was crazy. After finishing the traffic stop we went down about 3/4 of a mile and I filled up with gas and drove that thing for my entire senior year of high school. Everybody loved it.

    I love how mechanical your videos are you and it's nice to see someone so transparent about all the issues you run into. 3 months ago I had to do the clutch on my s197 mustang on quick Jack's, and there were do many "while I'm in there" that it took me 8 days working alone and I couldn't watch your videos for weeks because of the ptsd 😂. Excited to see more content on the GTR!

      In the late 90s, my buddy had an '87 442 with the T-top. It was a pretty fun car. It had the signature GM droopy headliner. He told the insurance company it was an '87 Cutlass to keep the rates lower, but I'm not sure they would have agreed had he crashed it. Thankfully, he didn't. Later, he had a Monte SS from the same era. He would flip cars and he got very good at it. (Monetarily, not physically!)

    Here's a tip for extracting studs. Sometimes when they're snapped below the surface, you can use a burr tool and grind away the first 1-2 threads. This removes a barrier of corrosion, and makes more room for a weld.
