Take a moment or even more, and remember all those who have served in our country to preserve our freedoms that we’re put in place by our forefathers. Thanks Ray too, for all of the Great videos you tirelessly film, edit and post here!
This is the time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free. In a time when so many are trying to take our freedom from us! I thank God EVERYTIME I see our flag and pledge to it for those who gave their lives to give me this country I surely love!!
I never mind the labour costs or the wait but like to know the guy putting together does it right. You can see that Ray does a quality skilled job and that's nice to see. He also goes through the jobs I rarely or never get to tackle at home to see what I am in for or beyond me Nice Job.
If a guy does a job right it's worth it because you paid a lot of money for your car and all it takes is one stupid thing to ruin an engine hey thanks Ray
I thinking of Grandfather that was at Wheeler Air Field December 7 1941. Then was under MacArthur command for the rest of the war. Then was in Korea, then in missle silos throughout the country, Air Force Academy, and lastly Ent Air Force Base before it came the Olympic Training center. 22 years retired Lt Colonel. Thank you for protecting us during the most challenging of times.
Man you're sharp I miss that but did you watch the negative battery terminal bouncing when you first put the battery in just ask a question don't get excited right you do good work
I am European, and I dont know why, but it fills me with calmness watching you struggle with the same crap I struggle with. On the opposite side of the world. Very peacefull.
Thank you Ray, for all the time you put in to take care of your customers and provide quality content on TH-cam. You go above and beyond for everyone around you and your maintained positive attitude is fascinating to see. Keep up the great work man, hope y’all have a good weekend
Ray, I was thinking of you yesterday when I was removing the fuel injectors from my 4.8 Litre Silverado to clean them ( yes I used new o-rings😊) The passenger side was fairly easy, but the drivers side was a PITA because of all the hoses and wiring harnesses😲 I was cursing a bit ( ok a lot😆), so I give you a lot of respect for maintaining your cool when things don't always come off like you think they will. Anyway, my old Silverado is running much better now with no trouble codes😁👍. Thanks man for being an awesome tech and human being.
At least it isn't a 2013 Ford Edge. You have to pull the upper intake to change plugs, coil packs or injectors...and the ease of access to other critical engine parts just goes downhill from there...My language now has it's paint job down to the primer, if my cursing a 'blue' streak continues doing the fuel pump, it'll be down to bare metal and ready for paint... And I used to do X-Ray systems riddled with undocumented 'field mods', on machines built in France, designed by a design engineer that caught his wife seeing a field engineer, and built every critical part into places he figured they'd never find, or would take a week pulling out stuff to get to it to replace it with a part you can't verify 'good' except with it installed, and operating, and did it calmly, in a relaxed, focused, and rapid manner, even when the new part had just been manufactured before shipping and required a few hours of correcting with a jewler's file under high magnification, then replacing the hermetically sealed touch- switch panels, (the old parts needing to be returned to factory) and the glued parts were knocked off by an X-Ray tech 'passing through', landed in my meticulously kept Jensen 'briefcase' engineer's toolkit (suitcase - 68 lbs then - from new it needed a few things😁) all cleaned before put away tools, now all smeared with the gooey black glue from the switch panels laying glue down upon it all and unknown to me when I came to pack up for the day, I saw it, cleaned it all up, packed it, told the desk I was headed out, back in the morning (it was 1:30 AM already- ) and headed out like nothing but a great day had occurred. 🤣 ditto Ray's message- 👍🇺🇸😎
@@jameshedrick605 The thing I hated worst of all were those stupid little plastic sliding locks on the electrical connectors for the fuel injectors. I removed the fuel rails from each side, so much easier to get the clips off the injectors instead of trying to stand on your head to try and pry them off with the fuel rails still connected.
That engine looks clean. Showroom, like Armor-all on the hoses, wires and tubes. And I know you're going to cover that exposed 8mm bolt with an appropriate cover. Great show. I'm hooked.
Its crazy how youre the only one to capitalize on the whole 'Mechanic Shop Vlog' style videos! Been watching about 6 months or more now and love the videos! Thanks Ray!
I would guess that most places don’t allow for such things because of the illusion that you aren’t working fast enough. I’m sure ray probably brought this up in the interview as well as a reputation for finishing jobs ahead of schedule. I can’t imagine that my upper management would take too kindly to me you tubing our repairs. I probably could on my own time, but I don’t think they’d allow it in our facility for insurance reasons.
Great job on the timing cover. Working for hyundai we always got a new timing cover when the oil pump is attached to timing cover. We usually let the vehicle sit overnight after applying rtv sealant to allow it to fully set. My only suggestion on the alternator, before loosening it, I use a paint marker and mark the adjuster block at the top so I now where to stop when tightening the alternator back. Great work though. Love your videos with how informative they are.
I've been binge watching your channel. I started newest-to-oldest, but switched to oldest-to-newest, and this is in the Time Before Gravity (and Clicks, and Doodoolydoo). Much quieter and often shorter. but we have to supply our own Gravitys
Love the supply issues lol at 67 there is so many things connected like its not just diesel, def is needed in many cases to go with diesel...... just had to document that,
Just love Def, work for a heavy truck shop. Oh the money we make because of Def failures .When it turns into that nasty white powder it reeks havoc on everything . Truckers hate the stuff.
Hi Ray, I’m currently at home, with covid. I peruse TH-cam, and I came across your feed. I love the way you talk to the audience. You I still a certain trust. You seem very honest. Thank You. I’m enthralled with your content. Thank You again, Sir
I am one of your silent viewers . I watch and dont comment , but I am now .Your videos are fun to watch enetertaining , funny as all get out and very informitive . Dont change a thing and keep them coming . Good stuff . Click and do-da-do dadoo .
Two things Ray. First thanks for your videos and a great deal of patience working with tools, motors , engines etc. Second, it may be just camera angle but it appears you tilt up the dipstick where the point is higher than the marks. When I was a kid at my dad’s Mobil station he taught us for a true oil stick reading always keep the tip at the lowest point so oil does not “run” up the oil markings to give a more full reading then reality.
Little hint for sealing freehand- less 'silicone' is more. Think about it that way- The flanges are flat and are pressed together with the screws, at that moment the sealing sausage squishes to the sides, but it should not be on the inside of the housing. If that get's loose it could clog something. Sorry for my basic english, hope you can understand what i meant to say
I hope you enjoy the oil filter cutter and mlnl prybars. I see you used one of those mini prybars on the seals. Love the videos Ray keep up the good work.
That blue gasket that goes on the valve rocker cover, you were supposed to remove the 2 round pieces that were attached to it not leave them attached, its only attached because of the manufacturing process where its moulded in one continuous piece and that way they will not get lost. They actually seal where 2 bolts are in the middle of the valve cover next to the centre spark plug tubes. Raymondo!
Me as a dutchman wander why it takes so long to get a few parts for a car. About your work and explanations nothing to say than you're a great mechanic and i think a very wonderful man. There should be more like you
Even in the Netherlands parts take longer. But the biggest difference is that the Netherlands is tiny so parts can be shipped from one side to another within a few hours if needed.
It’s called supply chain issues. Lockdowns in China, where we get the majority of the cheap parts. Plus shipping offload delays in LA. Plus unexpected runs on certain parts.
The biggest problem is every car's different and nobody wants to keep anything on the shelf anymore not like any old days hey have a good day guys hopefully you'll track down that odd part
posting on my wife;s acct - 1 - find an old sardine can opener, they work great for rollin up those gasket sealant tubes, next if they sell it , try out a sealant called "right stuff" it works great and comes in caulking tubes :) ........also just an FYI *IMO* best gasket sealant i ever used was the stuff you get when you work at a Chevy/GM dealership.
thank you for your videos, yesterday managed to do my own car timingbelt + waterpump change... got the courage from your videos to do it myself, a bit google and workshop manual helped aswell.
on my 17 Forte, I just pull the injector fuse and prime the filter for 5 seconds never rattles when doing an oil change you'd probably have to do it longer to prime new phasers though.
Great job enjoy watching you work on different things you make it look easy but I know it's because of experience and having the right tools for the job at hand
Love the Fumoto valves though. It may drain a bit slower but no need for tools and no getting oil all over taking the plug out. Also no need for the crush washers everyone forgets until it leaks. I sent Ford Boss Me one to test and he seems to like it. They hold up in the rust belt fine since I lived there for decades and used them for about 15 years there before moving to better weather. Give them a try on your vehicles. Honestly, I have no money to make from them but let me know which one you want and where to send it. Bet you will really like them after.
I'm glad you got over the crud and are feeling better! I love how you're squirreled everytime the phone rings, but I appreciate your attention to detail. I can't wait to see how stepping out on your own goes, I think you'll have plenty of work quickly. My long time mechanic recently moved out of state, and I'm really bummed. I live in a really small town, so it's difficult to find someone honest & reliable. I mostly just need the routine preventative maintenance, but it's great to have a capable mechanic you can trust! My 4×4 GMC SUV is reliable and I keep the engine compartment and undercarriage clean, so it's easy to spot problems early. It also makes it easier to work on when it inevitably becomes necessary. I wish you weren't all the way across the country, but I love your content!
Hi,watching from Australia,used to be a car mechanic years ago,now it's nice to see someone else struggling with these modern contraptions,thanks for the enjoyment ? - Roger.
I don't know about you, but I find it very satisfying when a valve cover or something snaps right into place or something of that nature. To me, that is the fun of working on cars. when a repair goes back together and its a job well done.
I've been watching for awhile, I'm from the Chicago land area. I've been in the business for over 28 years. Ray you are one of the good ones. I refer to the ones who rack up shit that's not needed, vultures and those shit heals give us bad names. I happen to be in Florida visiting my in-laws, if I knew where you were located I would make the trip to shake your hand sir
As A Plumber I have used Bread to stop water leaks on water pipes because when you try to repair the line the torch heat draws the water to it and bread into holds back the water just long enough to get the job done but you must be fast just remember before you turn water back on remove the aerator off the faucets so you don't clog them up and only open the side you worked on you don't want to cross connect them repair on hot side only open hot side
Have to agree with previous comments even if it sounds boring that the quality of your work is amazing and done in a spirit of enthusiasm. God bless the work and your family.
listening to that conversation with your fellow mechanic, bread works better than grease for removing a clutch pilot bearing having tried both over the years
I enjoy your work Ray & thanks for sharing your knowledge. Btw... Those Fumoto oil drain valves work really well. Yes... it's a tad slow, but less likely to cause a mess for DIY'ers. Instead of an oil pan, I use an old Oil jug to pour the oil straight off the pan since the stream is thin enough. Takes a few minutes longer to drain but it's worth it if you change your own oil. No need to remove the drain plug anymore either as a by product. I've used mine for the past 5 years worth of oil changes. 😊
It's always a great feeling to finish a car that's been holding up a stall far longer than it should have been. I had to wait 3 weeks for a proper set of rims to fit an '07 Mercedes C230. The original set had so much corrosion on it that upon cleaning them a hole basically opened up rendering it useless.
I saw you using the brake clean to clean the plastic engine cover. I’ve started doing what my mentor used to do which is actually spraying all that stuff with a little wd40. It actually cleans it and also gives it that new plastic shine!
Ray you made a clean spot under the hood with the windshield washer fluid oh my goodness what are they going to do hey nice job man and you didn't go click when you put the little two push pins in the air intake
Wow, I forgot that car was still there! Glad to see it's finally going back to its very patient owner. Ray, you enjoyed that "squeaky click" way too much! 😎 I also always get a chuckle at the Sesame Street reference You can always tell someone who recently raised a kid, when those slip out.
I often use an independant bearing and seal supplier instead of OEM. I there is a good one nearby it is worth it. Usually cheaper and delivery often better. They can usually find custom OEM sizes if you ask. Mine can! It also pays to use multiple suppliers for any given article in case one of them burns down or has some other problem like a truck through the front window, bankruptcy or àn enforced move which shuts them down for a time. I like your cheerful way of looking at things and lampooning of the phone and gravity both of which we are stuck with. Keep at it and don't let the price boosters in the supply chain above you rip you off too much. Some people there especially up in the snow, salted roads and rust areas are being ripped off blind by suppliers. Keep smiling.
You should've poured some oil or applied engine build paste to the cam lobes before replacing the cam cover to reduce wear on start-up. Most wear occurs at start-up - it would be great if manufacturers actually installed an electric oil pump that you could use to prime the oil and spray it at the top end before starting!
When the oil cap/ dipstick wre off center before making it "shinney" I was actually a bit nervous & relieved when you reset them - thanks for instilling an OCD focus in me towards mechanical observation and imagery. Have a safe and blessed week.
That bread / grease truck is awesome. Don’t ever do it on a gm LS series engine. They have an oil plug behind the pilot bearing. I’m sure you know Ray, incase anyone else watching ever tries it.
I hope you realize how lucky you are, the last shop I worked at the boss meter out cans of break clean, liquid wrench and tubes of silicone, we used purple power to mop the shop but we were only allowed to pour 1 full solo cup's worth per mop bucket, I could go on but I think you get the picture.
Love the channels, love the content. Been a fan for a hot minute. Side note.. no need to to tell us you are working hard and behind on getting things done. We can all tell by the fact you are using both hands to work for a majority of the video!🤣
Soooooo painful to watch! I've been down beside those transverse fours and it doesn't work right if you don't bust your knuckles and bleed on it a little. LOL! GREAT JOB! God bless ya buddy. Keep 'em coming. Love it!
Our 2011 Elantra has the exact same rattling noise. It's been fascinating watching Ray do this work. I really appreciate the time you took to create this video. Some questions come so mind... 1, You mentioned that the lack of oil would cause the rattle to re-occur on first startup. And of course it did. But how did you know that this rattling noise wasn't an oil pressure problem in the first place? 2, Would I be crazy to think I could attempt this repair myself? I know I'd need boatloads of time and patience. It didn't appear there were any special tools involved.
Late reply but, When the oil pressure is the problem the problem would stay after startup and you wouldn't hear it just on startup, low oil pressure throws a code as well. You can do this repair yourself, it's a lot of unscrewing and reattaching but it's not difficult. You quite a couple of different tools tho
ray you didnt do that valve cover gasket properly you were supposed to secure those inner o rings to the ceiling of the cover, if you look you can see little hooks sticking out with the gasket is supposed to be threaded underneath, regardless thanks for the vid giving me a idea of what im getting into
Lol.. Ray I bought that exact water nozzle from Amazon for home use and got the same result ;).. ended up re-purposing it at work in our test cell via a fire hydrant.. much better performance!
I bought some Brake Clean from NAPA but it never said any sounds. I brought it back to the store and told them it was defective. Next time I'm staying with OEM
Take a moment or even more, and remember all those who have served in our country to preserve our freedoms that we’re put in place by our forefathers. Thanks Ray too, for all of the Great videos you tirelessly film, edit and post here!
.i.
That ol' Tree of Liberty is long over due for some replenishment. You might just get your chance, yet, to be remembered!
Our freedoms that are being taken slowly every day yea
Freedom?!
This is the time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free. In a time when so many are trying to take our freedom from us! I thank God EVERYTIME I see our flag and pledge to it for those who gave their lives to give me this country I surely love!!
28 minutes to do what would have taken me 2 days ... or longer. Professionals at work, is always so satisfying to watch.
That job did not take 28 min
It's been edited to 28 minutes.
Sending special love to my favourite car mechanic from other side of the world. Poland here!
I never mind the labour costs or the wait but like to know the guy putting together does it right. You can see that Ray does a quality skilled job and that's nice to see. He also goes through the jobs I rarely or never get to tackle at home to see what I am in for or beyond me Nice Job.
People like Ray are rare. If your lucky enough to find one, stick with that person and recommend friends and family to them
he never even cleaned out the oil pump....
If a guy does a job right it's worth it because you paid a lot of money for your car and all it takes is one stupid thing to ruin an engine hey thanks Ray
@@Tomcat71 Exactly. even more, if I do this job I would buy a new oil pump if I get exposed to all those parts.
I thinking of Grandfather that was at Wheeler Air Field December 7 1941. Then was under MacArthur command for the rest of the war. Then was in Korea, then in missle silos throughout the country, Air Force Academy, and lastly Ent Air Force Base before it came the Olympic Training center. 22 years retired Lt Colonel. Thank you for protecting us during the most challenging of times.
I'm impressed, I've worked in a bodyshop for 42 yrs and I've have never heard Ray swear. F- bombs are part of our vocabulary. Good job Ray.
EDITTING :P
The Eric O brake clean intro was the icing on the cake. Love your videos Ray!
We a "Da Daa" when the Brake Cleaner shows up.

Have to agree with previous comments even if it sounds boring that the quality of your work is amazing and done in a spirit of enthusiasm. God bless the work and your family.
PTT paging Doctor RRR!!! Hollller good buddy, need to get you on the show with FBM!!!
Hey Ray, I wasn't thinking about you yesterday. But today you did a good job.
listening to that conversation with your fellow mechanic, bread works better than grease for removing a clutch pilot bearing having tried both over the years
I like when those 'nator bolts do the squeaky click!
I enjoy your work Ray & thanks for sharing your knowledge. Btw...
Those Fumoto oil drain valves work really well. Yes... it's a tad slow, but less likely to cause a mess for DIY'ers. Instead of an oil pan, I use an old Oil jug to pour the oil straight off the pan since the stream is thin enough. Takes a few minutes longer to drain but it's worth it if you change your own oil. No need to remove the drain plug anymore either as a by product. I've used mine for the past 5 years worth of oil changes. 😊
Great idea thank you
It's always a great feeling to finish a car that's been holding up a stall far longer than it should have been. I had to wait 3 weeks for a proper set of rims to fit an '07 Mercedes C230. The original set had so much corrosion on it that upon cleaning them a hole basically opened up rendering it useless.
Rust on a Mercedes oh my do you have any gray poupon that's an old Rolls-Royce commercial
Appreciate your sharing this - much admiration from a fellow engineer - Keep it up!
I saw you using the brake clean to clean the plastic engine cover. I’ve started doing what my mentor used to do which is actually spraying all that stuff with a little wd40. It actually cleans it and also gives it that new plastic shine!
I tried it on an oily/ dirty part on my Deere mower. Oops. Instantly melted the surface. Didn’t hurt it, just not “shiny “ now.
Wow I appreciate the fancy oil drain. But they’re one snag away from a very bad day!
Too true!
Brass too…no bueno.
like always Ray,it was a great pleasure to watch your video!💪💪💪💪😊
Rainman I love all your content man I can binge watch every video if I didn’t work so dang much!!!!
22:45 Wow, 5/20, that is a really thin oil. Never heard of that in a car, unless you live in northern Alaska I guess.
Ray you made a clean spot under the hood with the windshield washer fluid oh my goodness what are they going to do hey nice job man and you didn't go click when you put the little two push pins in the air intake
Oil filter was still good. Its blue. I learned that in the tran pan leaking video you posted today.
50th! YIPPIE! BOY HOWDY! GOOD AFTERNOON RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Wow, I forgot that car was still there! Glad to see it's finally going back to its very patient owner.
Ray, you enjoyed that "squeaky click" way too much! 😎 I also always get a chuckle at the Sesame Street reference
You can always tell someone who recently raised a kid, when those slip out.
I often use an independant bearing and seal supplier instead of OEM.
I there is a good one nearby it is worth it.
Usually cheaper and delivery often better. They can usually find custom OEM sizes if you ask. Mine can!
It also pays to use multiple suppliers for any given article in case one of them burns down or has some other problem like a truck through the front window, bankruptcy or àn enforced move which shuts them down for a time.
I like your cheerful way of looking at things and lampooning of the phone and gravity both of which we are stuck with.
Keep at it and don't let the price boosters in the supply chain above you rip you off too much.
Some people there especially up in the snow, salted roads and rust areas are being ripped off blind by suppliers.
Keep smiling.
the phone ringing always brings a smile to my face. not sure why :D
Nice repair! My Hyundai 3.5 rattles bad…
You should've poured some oil or applied engine build paste to the cam lobes before replacing the cam cover to reduce wear on start-up. Most wear occurs at start-up - it would be great if manufacturers actually installed an electric oil pump that you could use to prime the oil and spray it at the top end before starting!
Tried the magic shiny cleaner on my Honda. It's all nice and shiny now! Thanks for the tip Ray!
U can use bar soap for that bearing too just stuff some Irish Spring in there and press comes right out
When the oil cap/ dipstick wre off center before making it "shinney" I was actually a bit nervous & relieved when you reset them - thanks for instilling an OCD focus in me towards mechanical observation and imagery. Have a safe and blessed week.
Ray's trolling. I know he's trolling. C'mon Ray. Straighten it. STRAIGHTEN IT!!! 😱😱😱 Whew. I knew he was trolling. 🤤
Dang commercial hit right when you broke out the brake cleaner!
Hi Ray, just wanted to send you the best summer wishes from Finland! I think you are doing great work. 👍👏👏🌞🌞
That bread / grease truck is awesome. Don’t ever do it on a gm LS series engine. They have an oil plug behind the pilot bearing. I’m sure you know Ray, incase anyone else watching ever tries it.
I hope you realize how lucky you are, the last shop I worked at the boss meter out cans of break clean, liquid wrench and tubes of silicone, we used purple power to mop the shop but we were only allowed to pour 1 full solo cup's worth per mop bucket, I could go on but I think you get the picture.
You know the struggle was real because the russian accent kept wanting to come out. Nice work Ray! :-)
Vundabar…..he exclaimed with great relish.
Love the channels, love the content. Been a fan for a hot minute. Side note.. no need to to tell us you are working hard and behind on getting things done. We can all tell by the fact you are using both hands to work for a majority of the video!🤣
15;30 Do you have a screwdriver with flat sides to the shaft? If so use that to hold the pulley bolts - less likely to slip out.
Yah gotta love 💕 the squeaky click, it sounded like a haunted mansion door squeaky click. Niiiiiiiiiiice video Ray.
I went through the gasket shortage with a 2.5 Nissan took 2 weeks to get the right parts
Hooray! It's done! I'm sure the customer is ready to get there car back! Happy Memorial Day!
Love the video. Looks like a Fumoto drain valve, I also use those.
Just one comment, I would always fill the oil right to the full mark when doing a change. I also maintain my cars at the full level during changes.
How do you maintain the full level during changes?
Do you pour it in as it is running out?
You can also use blue tac to get pilot bearings out
Soooooo painful to watch! I've been down beside those transverse fours and it doesn't work right if you don't bust your knuckles and bleed on it a little. LOL! GREAT JOB! God bless ya buddy. Keep 'em coming. Love it!
same thing when reconfiguring computer chassis... requires a blood sacrifice for the magic in the machine to work right, as well...
BLOOD FOR THE CAR GODS!!!!
@@RickHamouris YES! LOL! I swear a computer chassis must be made from razor blades!
no better feeling then having something torn down so far and having it not only start but drive perfectly.
Feels even better after the first 10 min of hoping nothing goes wrong lol
@@Onewheelordeal you got that right i just did my clutch in my truck and everything just worked once i hopped back in except everything hurts now lol
Great job ray you made that quick
Nice save on the oil
Our 2011 Elantra has the exact same rattling noise. It's been fascinating watching Ray do this work. I really appreciate the time you took to create this video. Some questions come so mind...
1, You mentioned that the lack of oil would cause the rattle to re-occur on first startup. And of course it did. But how did you know that this rattling noise wasn't an oil pressure problem in the first place?
2, Would I be crazy to think I could attempt this repair myself? I know I'd need boatloads of time and patience. It didn't appear there were any special tools involved.
Late reply but, When the oil pressure is the problem the problem would stay after startup and you wouldn't hear it just on startup, low oil pressure throws a code as well. You can do this repair yourself, it's a lot of unscrewing and reattaching but it's not difficult. You quite a couple of different tools tho
well done. i've had the timing chain rattle on a couple vehicles, such an expensive repair
ray you didnt do that valve cover gasket properly you were supposed to secure those inner o rings to the ceiling of the cover, if you look you can see little hooks sticking out with the gasket is supposed to be threaded underneath, regardless thanks for the vid giving me a idea of what im getting into
Training the young guys at the same time :)
Lol.. Ray I bought that exact water nozzle from Amazon for home use and got the same result ;).. ended up re-purposing it at work in our test cell via a fire hydrant.. much better performance!
I bought some Brake Clean from NAPA but it never said any sounds. I brought it back to the store and told them it was defective. Next time I'm staying with OEM
some hyundai kia parts can't be found and when those 2.4lL engines from Alabama plant were puking brand new cars were waiting 6 months for engines
