    Licensed optician in florida here. Gotta get some UNCOATED safety glasses for work, transitions are okay because they're not a coating. But oils/grease are going to destroy the antiglare on your lenses in record time and you won't enjoy using them at all. Peeling antiglare = can't see anything through the lenses anymore.
    Love your stuff Ray! Keep those glasses maintained, they look awesome.

    Ray, I'd really recommend using a 3/8 impact on exhaust bolts, and a 1/2 inch impact on the stubborn ones. Really, really makes the bolts a cakewalk, even on rustier ones.

    • @theundergroundlairofthesqu9261
      @theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah, I was confused he was using hand ratchet force for those. Doesn't the sharp impact of an impact tool shock the bonds of rustiness and stiction apart? Better than the long slow steady force of human muscles.

  • @michaelallen5505
    @michaelallen5505 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Use an impact on those exhaust bolts and nuts to reduce the chance of breaking them. If they're really stuck, a wrench will break them off, whereas an impact will jar them loose. If you have time, spray them with penetrating oil the day before.
    Same with axle nuts, I've broken plenty of breaker bars (including Snap-on) , where an impact will just pop them right off. Pulling on a wrench applies increasing pressure until something breaks. An impact is similar to rapidly rapidly striking a wrench with a hammer.
    EDIT: Also, use an impact in short bursts. Hose pressure drops as soon as you pull the trigger. A quick pause lets the pressure rebuild.

    those studs are the bane of my existence. i always replace the studs with stainless ARP and a bronze flange nut. theres also a trick to keep those rear mains from leaking on the gm LS engines. the rear cover needs to be drilled and pinned. ive drilled a 1/4 inch hole and tapped in a .255 precision pin after the plate and seal have been aligned. this prevents those long pan bolts from distorting the rear seal.

  • @aaronbritt2025
    @aaronbritt2025 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    A flywheel performs a function of keeping the engine rotating while the clutch is disengaged. It has mass to hold kinetic energy so that the engine rpm doesn't drop too much and force the synchros to slow the transmission's input shaft down. This prevents premature synchro wear. This is why lightweight flywheels on street cars aren't a great idea unless you don't mind rebuilding your trans every 60k miles. That being said, I use lightweight flywheels on all of my cars because I don't keep them long enough to worry about it.

    • @nigelbarton8350
      @nigelbarton8350 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That kinetic energy also helps smooth the idle- hand that mass is not needed with auto trans as the torque converter mass performs the same function.

    Wow. Huge job there and great work! One suggestion. When a relatively new seal starts to leak and you must replace it again, I feel the sealing surface for burrs or grooves before installing another new seal. Try to find out why the new seal leaked! Look at the inside of the seal and see if the spring came loose. I have often found I need to clean up the sealing surface with fine emery cloth before a new seal goes in. And depending on the mileage, the mains just may be worn enough that the crank has sunk down making for a poor seal. If it jumps around, it'll pump oil out like that. Also, I really like that you use proper terms for all the parts as you work. Few techs do that. So thank you! makes for good accurate communicating. It gets really old to me watching a you tube guy yell "Giggety and Gugatz!" over and over and over again when they don't know what they're looking at. (Thinking they are cool guys. But really just ignorant) I spent my career as a nuc plant mechanic and then a hydraulics tech after I got disabled. We had one supervisor who couldn't speak english and was pretty ignorant. He made up for it by being really urban and cool! He came up to me one morning and said "Hey Man! What's da status of all the pawtz?" I replied what the heck is a pawtz? He said "You know Man! The PAAAAAWWWWTZ, PAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTZ!' Trying to be helpful I said all the different bits we work have proper nomenclatures listed in the tech manual and adding W's to words doesn't make them more understandable. He was looking pretty frustrated at this point. Then my smart assed E5 jumped in and said "Hey Petty Officer! I think I can help here, I speak jive!" I contained my laughter, but the guy in charge lost it and stormed off. Not a fan of the Airplane movie I suppose. He didn't last in that job and was replaced soon after.

    Always start at the back and move forward. Driveshaft, exhaust clamp, cross member, unplug o2 sensors, remove the one sensor, then manifold nuts. Jack transmission up to floor for clearance to remove Y pipe. I feel like I need to make pro tip videos on transmission R&R lol. I did enjoy the video as always though.

    Another great video, always informative and a few good laughs!!! Your best bet seeing as how he went to home depot would be to get the Diablo blades but make sure to get the ones that say thick metal. I had to do the same thing on a vehicle and went through a dozen blades before I got the diablo blades and it went through all 4 control arms like nothing. It may have taken 2 blades but compared to the dozen I wasted before I was thoroughly impressed.

      I sell Diablo blades. They’re the best on the market. A close second is CMT. My customers are mainly working with wood, but we sell to a few metal guys and they all ask for Diablo. In a side by side, the CMT is about equal, just not as well known since they aren’t in the box stores.

God bless you we love the video keep it coming looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s video regarding the installation process thank you God bless you and stay safe ✝️✝️✝️
