I want to thank Chad, Jolene and their crew for a truly great year of entertainment. If 2022 is half as good as 2021 it would be a wonderful thing. I don't think that Chad & Jolene truly realize how much their subscribers appreciated their near daily videos, especially during the trials and tribulations of Covid. Their videos are always informative and provided a unique and personal look at automotive customization. Thank you again and best wishes for 2022.
Sometimes I watch you do stuff and I think "that's not right" but by you not knowing that you just get the job done and keep moving forward and that's why everyone loves you and your work ethic :)
Definitely an A+ for effort. Do you have to respect somebody that tries hard
The one good part of 2021 was watching your videos every day. Thank you for a fanatic year. May the new year be better then the old one. Love you two. Happy New Year be safe and healthy 👍
One of the things I like about you guys cause your a team . Is how simple and relatable you keep everything nice job.
Here in New Zealand, we use gunk which is Jeys Fluid mixed 50/50 with Kerosene and brush it on leave for 15 mins and wash off with water then air to dry the engine afterwards. It removes vast amounts of grease and contentment,
You need a good Steam Cleaner it melts away grease and the water dries easily.
Love that you’re going with the LS 👍. Perfect mix of old and new.
Happy New Year to Chad, Jolene, Fina and all the fine folks who come on your show!
LS motor on its way to Elvis, it doesn't get any better than that! I hope 2022 is a better year for you that 2021 was, Happy New Year!
Thank you very much for this year of learning and fun, and motivation to work on projects! We wish you a nice 2022 year with a lot of pleasure to work and show!
Thanks Chad and Jolene for the great moments along the 2021!! go for many more years 😎👌
Clean the engine reminds me when I was a little kid helping to my grandpa, nice work!, happy new year!
Happy Friday and New Year thanks for sharing your time
Have a GREAT 2022!
First time I'd seen an engine get prept for painting,thanks for the tuition lesson👍👍
Thank you Chad and Jolene for taking us along as part of your family...I look forward to next year and watch the family grow. Happy New Year!!
Lots of work. But it is what it is . Thank you guys for sharing
Love watching Elvis come together. Love that sneak peek on the GREAT steering wheel.Thanks!
Chad I love your work and creativity. It is plain to see you enjoy this artistic approach to revisiting vintage automobile design. You may consider using bed blasting crushed walnut shells to remove rust, dirt , and grime before painting engine. Crushed walnut shells are cheap, non destructive. They will polish as well as clean and are easy to dispose. Great show ,keep the faith Bro!
And Happy New Year!!! Your show is the only thing I watch , much to my wife’s amazement!😃
Thank you Chad and Jolene!
The mighty LS 👌
Toromont Caterpillar has excellent engine degreaser, there's a dealer in Dartmouth NS I used it for years works great.
Perfect video it’s exactly what I’m needed to see what I was gonna get into on my own motor lol keep the videos coming Great Job 👏🏼 💯
Happy New Chad & Jolene hope 2022 is your best ever!
Great video. Now I know what to do . Thx to both of you
Make sure you replace those knock sensor wires😁 Scratch that, the new aftermarket harness should have it.
Oven cleaner works a treat
The old formula “easy off” would clean just about anything. I haven’t seen that stuff for probably 40 years. Most aggressive solvents and paint remover‘s are no longer available due to the health risks associated with them. The original old carb cleaner was the best. You could buy it in gallon cans or 5 gallon. It’s also no longer available
Looks great
That Engine will be fantastic to see it all cleaned up and painted, Happy New Years to all at HILTZ Auto Co
A good degreaser and a pressure washer would make short work of it.
Would of liked to have seen Jim before the year was over, He should have his own TV show could be called "No Place Like Jim" most interesting man I ever saw, could listen to him talking for ever ,,Happy New Year Jim-Bo, you to Chad, Jolene, and can't forget Fina as well, have a good 12 months and STAY-SAFE!!!!!!!!!
You are the best camera lady ever Jolene, your cinematography keeps you interested as much as seeing the hard work Chad puts in, awesome job both of you. Looking forward to seeing the hood actuator completion on Elvis. Best wishes for a healthy New Year.
thank you so much for another year and hope we will have many more happy new year Chad and Jolene Fina .
Happy new year to all of you
The way I understand it, is that the oil pan is too low. You will need to chop a few inches from that hump. Half Ass Kustoms shows you how to do that.
Happy new year everyone! 👍
Can't wait to see Elvis done
I hope you have a productive and prosperous New Year
Thanks for all that You do
An eventful year in the books, have a Happy New Year.
I have had good luck cleaning motors with an SOS pad and some spray. Looking good Chad.
You know a french man is watching you :)
Good job man (and Jolene)
HNY too !
Happy New Year's Chad, Jolene, your families, friends and all your subscribers. Let's hope 2022 will be a Healthy new year for all of us. This covid virus is far from over with. Be careful and safe while out and about.
In your place I would have tried to use the pressure washer. The weather is good and it doesn't snow, just drag the engine just outside the door. Maybe it would be easier and faster in the end.
I like the steering wheel, it looks good. 😎👍
Greetings from Switzerland
Thank you for another school day!
Looking forward to seeing you in 2022. Thanks for encouraging me to get things done.
Can’t wait to see the LS painted. Elvis is going to be a sweet ride.
Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two
Simple Green is my go-to product, but I have no doubt that you'll get it sorted, whatever it takes. 👍
Best wishes for 2022!
Just getting it done 👍
I would advise you to change out your knock sensors chad before you put the engine back together I had to replace mine and had to take the whole intake off to replace them and put some silicone around the plastic covers so water don’t get in and on the back of the manifold there is a piece of foam remove that because it tends to hold water in the back of the engine and water is what makes the knock sensors go bad
I hope someone out there living the LS life can suggest a superior aluminum cleaning solution for you. There is certainly something that will work for you.
Lots of very good aluminum cleaners on the market. Some of the best ones are no longer available in California unfortunately.
Wish you guys a happy new year and looking forward to 2022 videos
Happy New Year folks. Chad you are so right, a lot of work to prep an engine for paint. The LS is cleaning up nice.
I'm using all the tips and tricks you show on the build of my bagged '52 Chevy 3100 that I'm documenting over on my channel! Keep up the great work Chad & Jolene!
theres are alot of jobs that are not fun but needs to be done.I hope you have a Happy New Year
Happy New Year from Hawaii
Might be a good idea to change out the knock sensors while the intake is off. On these they tend to act up, so might as well change em while everything is off.
Keep on going. You’re an inspiration!!
Whoop Whoop! Great job Chaddy.
You will never regret going with the LS keep up the good work👍🏼
Happy New Years to all
That be an awesome new years eve hanging out with Chad in his shop cleaning and painting an LS drinking a few cold beers !
Chad, my husband says that what you experience as a film that you do not get off the engine block is a protective film. Only go away if you get rid of it with sandpaper. Happy New Year and good luck with the cleaning. Hugs from Sweden
Happy New year to you all at

Looking good. I have used Oven Cleaner on a old '65 inline 6. Took off years of oil, grease and crud off. Worked very well, too well at times. I did a second round and it started removing some of the old paint.
One word of advice is either work in a well ventilated area or wear a mask (pretty nasty on the lungs.) I would use a set of latex gloves because this stuff is kind of corrosive. As a mechanic I didn't always care about stuff like that . "PLEASE " use a face shield when you are using your die grinder. Your glasses don't appear to have any protection on the side of your eye/ face. Those filings travel faster than you can blink.
Chad, its awesome to see you taking interest in the LS engine. Best advice i can give you is find someone proficient at swapping these engines. For the money it will be worth it in the end. I know myself i wouldnt tackle it without someone with the knowledge to point me in the right direction. Have a Happy New Year!
Should have put my protective glasses on... Just got a wire bristle in the eye just watching this... Thanks for posting real time content. Gives me a great idea of what I'm going to get myself into on my 78 Ford camper special. Happy new years to everyone. Stay safe
Chad it takes a lot of guts to put it all out there for everyone to see , hat off to you
Hey Chad I'm a big fan and have built a 500 hp 6.0 LS the thing you should look at is the oilpan , if you are going to put this in Elvis and run him low you will need to have the oilpan shortened or purchase off Amazon the Hotrod oil pan to shorten it for lowriding your chassis . They have one around $100 dollars which isn't much considering everything else your doing to Elvis . JMO keep up the great work I'm excited to see what color Elvis is going to be
Get'r Dunn!,, Its always nice to see the end results of a little bit of elbow grease, some degreaser, rags, wire brushs and some good ole Chevy Orange . Banmm!
Also that front balancer bolt is torque to yeild and should be replaced once removed
got an engine block sitting in my garage that needs to be cleaned up, this is inspirational :)
It's Friday, Happy News Years to you all.if heads not what you want when done.Get some wheel Brite for wheels and try it.
Happy New Year everybody
HAPPY NEWYEAR TO CHAD ,JOLEEN AND FINA . THANKYOU FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR OF CAR BUILDING CONTENT. I NEVER MISS A NIGHT WITHOUT WATCHING. I NO LONGER WATCH EDITED CAR PROGRAMS BECAUSE ITS NOT REAL . STILL THE BEST AND ONLY REAL REALITY SHOW ONLINE PERIOD. KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC CAMERAWORK AND KEEP PUSHING KEEP EVOLVING AND GROWING THIS FANTASTIC CHANNEL. STILL A BREATH OF FRESH AIR .
So satisfying to watch
Great video as always. Some times things need a little more work then a quick hour. Better to spend a little more time to get it to the standard you want. Going to be nice engine that’s for sure !
Awesome job
Great show
Looking good keep up the good work.
I can't believe how much better an LS looks with out all the wiring.
Isn’t that the truth!
Just a tip Chad ,I use a good quality degresser intially ,let it soak and then preasure wash it off. I use the spray gun and acetone to wash off oil too. Once its dry I plug the bolt holes with bolts and hole with caps hot glued into the holes and plug everything up real well .I pack rags into the holes with a screw driver and flood the top with hot glue.Then I hit the engine with the sand blaster and wallnut shells from Princess Auto . After that its ready to paint clear whatever. The end result is impecibly so clean that you could eat off of it and the paint stays on for next to ever. I call it the ultimate jewish rebuild.
Awesome video guys
Congratulations on your enthusiasm. Cleaning engines is one of my pet hates, well done.
Using a die grinder to clean a engine seems to be very effective 👌
Another great video thanks guys happy New year
So let me get this straight he's detailing the engine to put in a car that he made covers to hide the engine
He’s doing the best he can. I never miss an episode. Sometimes hard to watch, but fantastic entertainment.
Hi Chad and Jolene
Wishing you, your family and friends a beautiful New year, prayers for the year ahead is prosperous and joyful for 2022.
