    Whew the genius of that shrink tube trick followed immediately by a scary lack of a heat gun lol

    Good work! Thank you so much for the video! Just seeing something done once can make your life sooooi much easier. In the future, try to only use throttle body cleaner on your intake. Carb choke can take the plating off of many newer vehicle butterfly valves.

    That slot is a joke you still have to pull the bolts I usually take and grind an angle on the housing put the bolt in then you can slide the housing on with the Bolton place hopefully that helps that helps somebody I'm about to do one of these for a customer I charge $150 to do them

    I would never use torch like that - too dangerous! Could've ignited fuel lines! You can get piece of hose at parts store. Also - start up engine with hood still open so you can check for leaks - I keep radiator cap off to monitor coolant level - it usually will need more coolant added because air is trapped in system (air escapes thru opened radiator cap). Some bolts are a real pain to reach - especially on newer cars! Sorry if I seemed a lil' pissy...just wanted to present some helpful advice...ya'll take care...enjoyed the video!
    (I do all repairs on my vehicles including engine /trans rebuilding - done it for 30+ years). 😊👍🇺🇸

    You have to take the bolt out the thermostat is in the way just easier to completely remove

    • @AUDIO2AUTO
      @AUDIO2AUTO 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes because you cant remove the housing with the bolt still in there even with the notch.

    That lower bolt is what turns this from a 10 minute job into a 2 hour job.

    A heat gun would be better than a flame torch when working around fuel systems. But actually, neither method should be used around fuel. You scared me for a moment. I thought you were going to have an explosion. Good video otherwise.
