  • i vote Eric as president thank you Eric for your help God bless.

  • lol, you said valve job. good vids man, excellent.

  • its a very cool video. but i was wondering if u adjust the intake first or the exhaust valves. or both at the same time. i kind of didnt understood when u talked about the cam lobe on the opossite side.dos it has to be ponting down? or the opposite side of the valves that r being adjusted. i hope my question is clear. thanks and keep posting those tutorial videos. :)

  • hey i just pulled my valve cover off my 95 accord lx ,and when i took the valve cover off the valves and springs were all black like dirty oil how can i clean it? is there something i can use?

  • Hi i got a question. So i believe my timing belt slipped a tooth and so i reset the timing and it helped it alot but its still got that wierd laggy sound like a subaru when i give it any gas. Could this be the culpret? Im hopeing i didnt bend a valve it doesnt sound like i did but yeah. Thanks!

  • Always used NGK in my older Fords never had a problem good plugs

  • ''ooooooh hairy arms'' ahahahaha hehehehhee lol ahahahaha :D

    WIN! good one!

  • I also have a question. Ive seen other videos on the exact theme here and a lot of people do the valve adjustment on the cam side. I notice you dot it on the valve side instead of the cam side. Little confused.

  • @jordopancho you can do it either way, but the adjustment should be done at the valve side...

  • What type or size of O'RINGS? What is the proper name for the O RINGS. e.g Camshaft O'ring? I have the same problem with my 97 Accord LX 2.2 L and am ready to do this for the first time.

  • To get the "feel" of the drag, if someone has never done this before, you could get a micrometer and set it at the desired gap then insert the feeler gauge. Shouldn't this help define what the "slight drag" should feel like?

  • @EricTheCarGuy I been watching many of you videos but I have stranger question. Well I bought this 90' Honda accord on the engine block it said its an f22b1 but it's an DOHC. I took it to the Honda dealership and the told me that someone put a Honda civic head to make it a DOHC. My question is; how would i do a valve adjustment on this Frankenstein engine?

  • whaat?  you dont recommend champion spark plugs? LOL

  • @azthundercloud Champion's should only be used in Chrysler cars. NGK or Bosch should be used for Honda's.

  • how can you tell if a valve is bend? i have a 1990 honda accord it idles real bad and i took one spark plug cable out one at a time and notice that my 4th cylinder wasnt working. it idles bad and wants to shut off. i changed the spark plugs the rotor, distributor cap, cables and still the same. so im thinking it could be a bad valve. i also took out the 4th spark plug and it actually idles better with out it . so is it my valve that may be bend or bad? would i have to replace the whole head?

  • @brown2009619 If you suspect an engine mechanical issue normally the first step is to do a compression test, if you suspect a bent or burned valve that's not sealing a leak down test would show that. I've done videos on both of those tests that you can watch to give you an idea on how those things are done.

  • Sir, my engine is a PH12 honda and planning to adjust my valve clearance according to its specs. I want to know the correct gap for intake and exhaust or is this the same with the other hondas?

  • @izu1370 Check the under hood sticker or service manual for your application.

  • @EricTheCarGuy hey broZ, in your w

    Experience just how good are these accords with an automatic transmission? I bought a 94 accord and had to replace the trany in less than two months, now i am worried that it will happen again since i am about to put money into it, or what can i do to keep my tranny in optimal conditions. Thanks!

  • No you won't need to wait until winter. Just perform the adjustment when the engine is stone cold, i.e has been left off overnight.

  • so if this is to be done when it's very cold, is this something I would have to wait to do in the winter if I live in a hot state? or is there any way of inducing a cold environment to the valves safely?

  • @YOUNGaz11 No, many other manufacturers call for adjusting the valves when the engine is hot meaning just after you shut it down, Honda's however want the engine cold. The reason for this is that the expansion of the metal changes the clearance as the engine warms up and will effect the measurements.

  • hey Eric im thinking about attempting this job but first i thought i might try a different oil maybe a thicker one to quieten the valve noise. what oil do u recommend for honda?

  • @shumuss I don't. ONLY use the oil that is recommended for your engine and do not put thicker oil in, if you do it can starve the top end of the engine for oil on start up especially in colder weather, in short you can accelerate the wear on your engine if you do that.

  • hey can u do me a favor about installing a turbo to a civic just how to bolt its on

  • @touyang55 Check with my friend at ProjectcarTV, he does a LOT of turbo work and he could probably answer you better than I could.

  • I have a request can you make a video showing the whole process of replacing a head gasket? That would be awesome you just can't find any good videos explaining the whole process like you do in all your videos!!

  • @nobo631 The videos I make are based on what comes into my shop so it's hard to fill requests like yours because I have to wait for the same car to show up with the same problem and I need time to shoot the video. That said if one does show up I'd be happy to try and make a video for you.

    Thanks for your request.

  • Hey Eric I have a question. If I am adjusting my valves on a 92 prelude and it's my first time doing it, after I have adjusted a valve would it be safe for me to loosen it just a tiny bit just to make sure I didn't over tighten them and mess up my motor????

  • @nobo631 The more you do valve adjustments the better you will get and you will develop your own set of steps along the way, it's really up to you to find out what is going to work for you. Good luck.

  • Thanks for the video. I'm going to attempt this tomorrow morning.

  • @stephjax93 Good luck, take your time and you should do fine.

  • my 86 honda accord has a really rough idle. the inside of the whole car and dashboard vibrates and shakes. i heard the motor mounts are a common issue for rough idle in the older hondas, is this true?

  • @truemetalist89 I address a rough running engine before I go for the motor mounts, in fact I have an entire 'idle speech' that I give to people when they ask me this question but I don't have enough space here. Head over to my website and type in 'idle speech' and it should come up, if not joint the forum and I'll post it directly to you.

  • does it matter which order you adjust them in????

  • @maxnguyen22 Not really no.

  • My 2.2 Vtech sounds like a 22re toyota. I'm hoping this will take care of the problem.

  • @YotaFan1 I hope so too, good luck.

  • I have a 96 2.7L 6, and a few rockers clack in the morning on start up. Are they hydrolic and can they be adjusted? Awesone vids BTW!

  • @vmaxcruzer No adjustment on those sorry. The only way to repair it is to replace the lifters in the head. Make sure your using the correct oil for that engine and it's at the proper level also.

  • eric,, i cant get a straight answer...every write-up states different...when going from #1 to #3,,,i turn the crank 180 and that will turn the cam 90 correct?...some people say crank 90, but the cam is only 45=wrong?.....4 cylinders firing every 90 on the cam=360,,,,need your help bud.....hondaslave out....

  • @hondaslave To keep it simple just watch the cam lobes, that's the reason I show that in the video.

  • i like that tool haha

  • i broke one of the screws that hold the engine cap. Is it a big problem/ will the oil be able to leak out?

  • @7xrepiv did you break it off inside or did it get striped or something?

  • @1raymondn i broke it off on the top/ the tip broke off. Now the tip of the bolt is in the fastener.

  • @7xrepiv Your going to need to replace the stud, it's not that difficult, once you take the valve cover back off you will see a fastener that you can replace to cure that problem.

  • @7xrepiv You can just replace the fastener under the valve cover, it comes with a new stud.

  • Hey I just started watching your videos and I'm really impressed and feel confident in your information, I do have two questions though. I'm currently going to school to become an auto tec and have recently done a motor swap, put a GSR DOHC vtec b18 into my 94 civic runs good but I feel a lack in power and notice a clicking noise one of my instuctors and several fellow students say I need to do a valve adjustment, is this correct? and what difference does it make when it's DOHC?

  • @Faqurkowch Without hearing the noise it's impossible for me to say but it might be lose valves. Keep in mind however that valve adjustments are just 'fine tuning' and wont' cure a performance issue, it can make the engine run smoother but not solve an issue like low power in my experience. You may have a problem with timing or a loose timing belt.

  • Newbie question, why did you move the belt at 8:49 ? don't you have to re-adjust that later? and also would you have to move the camshaft back to the lobe position?

  • @csidaznigga That was turning the engine over so that I could adjust the valves. The timing belt is never removed from the cam so there is no worry of it coming out of time. You might want to watch the valve adjustment video that I did for more info on that.

  • can you make a video on adjusting valve in a gsr integra or like a99- 2000 civic or even a 92-93 integra with b17 vtec engine just any of the B sears with a vtec head like B16 or B18c or b17 they adjust much more different then other motors and have very lil space 2 work with

  • @TheCivic4lifejdm If one comes into the shop I'd love to.

  • your doing a all some job i watch your video all the time keep up the good job i have a question for u i have 2000 civic si with the doch motor which is the b16 i put skunk 2 stage 2 cams and duel springs & retainers i have adjusted them 4 times & cant get them right & i have done many other with good result i adjusted them 7 on intake side and 8 exhaust even tried 6 & 7 and still noise i do know u go counter clockwise with the cam and u adjusted them 1 3 4 2 just seeing if u can help

  • @TheCivic4lifejdm Make sure your on the base circle of the cam as that is the most important part. Also it may be the parts you installed or their installation so you might want to go back and check your work. Lastly make sure the top end is getting oil, if not you might want to check and see if the oil psi orifice is still in the block between the head and block, if it's not there the head will not have enough oil pressure. Good luck.

  • Hey Eric I watch all of your videos, well most of them haha, but anyway I was attempting to adjust my valves today and when I went to put the feeler gauge in it seemed there wasn't enough room from even the smallest one of mine to fit (.005) I'm puzzled by this any suggestions?

  • @jdmfreak92 Make sure your using the correct feeler gauge and that the cam is on the base circle of the valve that you are trying to adjust, get this wrong and you could damage the engine.

  • @EricTheCarGuy I figured everything out and it runs better than ever. Thanks for your help!

  • I really like how you dont just skip over 'in between' parts, instead just fast forwarding so you at least see whats being done. Keep up the great work!

  • @cmk61991 Yea that's pretty useless in my opinion, I try to make videos that I would want to watch, I figure if I don't like it why should you? Thanks for the comment.

  • wat fuking ever im a car god yall are mortals. lololol

  • I did this once on my 94 Accord. Manipulating the box end wrench, screw driver, and feeler gauge simultaneously was challenging. But, it is an easy adjustment.

  • @utrahaearn It's not bad once you get used to it. Thanks for the comment.

  • I'd love to see how your car works now with that adjustment...

  • @jonathan99786 It wasn't my car but to be honest the most you will get from this is a slightly smoother idle (or very smooth if you did it well), you won't really notice a dramatic improvement in my experience just smoother running.

  • Eric need help what brand of feeler gauge is that need to do a valve lash on a 2000 civic si all my offset feeler gauge is to short

  • @weizhang1105 I got my 'long' ones off of the snap on truck, not sure where he got them honestly, you might try tool web, they have a lot of stuff there.

  • those are some long ass feeler gauges

  • would this same approach work for a 2000 civic non v tech?

  • @TheGarnerjustin73 Indeed it would but read the under hood sticker for the measurements on that engine.

  • How come u move the lobe again on the outake valves? does it remain facing down the whole time or do u gotta change its position for the outakes?

  • @MartyOs1 You can do this one cylinder at a time and not have to redo the adjustment however experience has taught me that it's easier to make sure each lobe is on the base circle when adjusting.

  • @EricTheCarGuy After i opened the casing i saw what you meant, thanks for the video. Been teaching me a lot about my car, but i have one question. As i drive and i accelerate i get a weird springy noise from my transmission, is that symptoms of a bad clutch?

  • how often is this needed to be done? i have a honda accord v6 2004 it has a little over a hundred and fourty thousand miles on it is it time for valve adjustment?

  • @MBCamaro95 If your valves are noisy that I would say go ahead but to be honest as I said in the video this is a 'fine tuning' exorcize and if your not practiced at it you can actually make things worse. Consider that before you make the attempt.

  • @EricTheCarGuy oh alright haha i was just wandering the car runs great and sounds good so i think its fine for now this is a great video though thanks!

  • VTEC

  • hey eric, i have this same engine...in the clip you state that this engie should run like nobody business if it has a tight tb, valve adj, clean egr passages and at 3:23 you state cleaning the intake valve like i did earlier,,,what do you mean about the last part? the intake something like you did earlier? thanks eric

  • @hondaslave The idle air control valve not the intake valve. You can remove it from the intake and clean the screen that goes to it and it helps smooth out the idle.

  • these videos are soo helpful !

  • @NikeBlazer623 I'm glad you like them, thanks for the comment.

  • hey eric. first of all i want to say you're doing a really great job with these videos and it has saved me a lot of money by doing these things myself.. I just adjusted my valves last week using this video. I do have one question though, i have a 2006 civic si. Are you aware of these cars having a horrible 3rd gear. If so does it call for a transmission rebuild, new clutch or just a change in transmission fluid. People keep telling me to use Amsoil gear oil? Do you have any tips?

  • @drobles95076 That 3rd gear problem has been around for some time, you would need to replace the 3rd gear syncro to correct it. Make sure you are using Honda transmission fluid. Good luck.

  • Hey eric, do u know what are the valve clearances for the Exhaust and Intake valves on a 91 Honda Accord? I tried looking into the Haynes Manual but it doesnt say.

  • @dc007fan It's in the video.

  • I am 15 years old....and i love working on cars with my uncle...and you are teaching me alot of new things....thank you!!!!!

  • @TheBigc837 Glad you like the videos, thanks very much for your comment and have fun working on those cars.

  • i have a problem , my 93 integra motor wich is on my 98 integra started having a slap to it . due to a 6500k rev with 2 quarts of oil . yes i know stupid lol . now i want to know what it is because it sounds like a rod bearing but it comes from the head & you can hear it a little wen it idles . would posting a vid help?

  • @Flakosowavyy Probably not, it sounds like internal engine damage to me and that can only end one way unfortunately, rebuild or replace it.

  • @EricTheCarGuy you saw the videos?

  • Comment removed

  • Who the hell these 3 people who disliked this video...

  • eric my 15 year old toyota 2E engine,says in the sticker on the hood engine must be hot before adjusting the valve clearance do you think the adjusting nut will brick because of hot metal ???

  • @playstation2bigs No, actually most are adjusted hot. However you may not have adjusting nuts like these, many Toyota's use shims that need to be changed in order to adjust the valves, I would check into that before you get started.

  • @EricTheCarGuy the 2E engine have rocker arm in it. i remove the valve cover and it's have 12 rocker arm

  • the BASE CIRCLE OF THE CAMSHAFT METHOD is easy to do than the TDC TDC thing.....

  • great and wonderful video! just curious if these steps would be the same or very similar for a  4 cylinder 2.4L (KA24E) nissan stanza engine????

  • @goyofoyo Haven't done one of those so I don't know but check the service manual for that procedure.

  • u r amazing man. Thanx alot

  • @ssasi3s Thank YOU.

  • Hey Eric...my motor is a B16a3 and wanted to know, looking from the factory manual it states there are OEM factory specs to go with for instance; at TDC

    *Firing Order 1342

    Intake at 0.15mm - 0.19mm (0.006 - 0.007 in)

    Exhaust at 0.17mm - 0.21mm (0.007 - 0.008 in)

    Valve were adjusted to - Intake 0.006in & Exhaust 0.008in...is this too tight of an adjustment? Any help would be great...i'm new to this so great way to learn!

    Thanks Eric..awesome job

  • @sprydo7 According to the specs you look good but keep in mind it's all about the 'feel' when you make the adjustment, it does take practice to get it right.

  • My integra has been sitting for 6 to 8 months and only had 27 miles on the rebuilt b18c1 motor with ITR Cams and valves and what not. But when i started it up it started up fine but I could hear the valves chattering. Could this be from the valves not broken in yet or could it be something else?

  • @Mans343 Lack of oil is the first thing that came to mind, are you using the correct type of oil?

  • @EricTheCarGuy Yea but I looked at it today and its just one of my rockers were a bit gumed up so it took it awhile to move. I degumed it has no more chatter. Yea it has to run on Royal purple, ( .60 Trim Turbo =D) Thanks for the comment back though.

  • @toyota339 This engine is actually an overhead cam engine. You adjust valves on solid cam systems. Cams are divided into 2 types, solid and hydraulic. 90% of what is out there is hydraulic and does not require adjustment, solid cams like this one do require periodic adjustment if it's an overhead cam system OR if it's a regular pushrod system, where the cam is located is not important the type is however.

  • When the spark plugs are removed are you using a spark plug socket or a regular socket? Seems to me a spark plug socket would have the spark plugs stuck to the socket but in the video the spark plugs stay in the tubes. I have always wanted to use regular sockets (without the rubber) to remove spark plugs it would make the whole process that much quicker. What did you use?

  • @rx8on19ss A spark plug socket with the rubber removed.

  • what if your car/truck has shims? 3rz tacoma engine...

  • @spam420rice Pain in the butt. You need to MEASURE the clearance first, compare it to spec, if it's out you then measure your shim and calculate what size shim you will need to install to get things in spec, you then install the new shim and recheck them to see if they are in spec. BTW I think the measurements on that engine are taken hot.

  • honda accord radiator overheating 1994

  • Eric i have a problem with my mitsubishi galant 2003 its a 4cyl 2.4 engine .The problem i have is it stalls on me . i dont drive the car around i let it sit for a couple month s.It turns on and drives but then it stalls sometimes . thank you in advance if you answer my question i love your channel.

  • @maildennis2day Start by pulling and diagnosing any check engine lights you have. If you don't have any you might check the idle circuit for a sticking valve or something that might be causing the problem. Good luck.

  • Comment removed

  • my god...u are the man...

  • @heyjustthetip Thank you very much!

  • I think my car has bad valve seals. Your videos are more accurate than other guys videos. You could make a video how to change those little things :))

  • @dreadiel They don't often go bad on Honda's in my experience so I don't see much of an opportunity to make that video anytime soon but if one comes in I'll be happy to make a video for you should time permit. Thanks for your comment.

  • @EricTheCarGuy I'm not talking about hondas. I think its pretty similar job with most cars? Thanks Eric.

    I appreciate your hard work. God bless u Eric :)

  • @dreadiel Even on other makes it's not often I find just the valve seals that are bad, if I do find bad valve seals it's often on a poorly maintained engine and other things are worn and leaking as well. Thanks very much for your comments.

  • I found that even with all the plugs removed I could not turn the engine with the power steering pump, the belt just slipped. I may need new belts.

  • @myadler Perhaps not, if it's a manual and the wheels are on the ground you will need to put it in neutral first. I've also tightened the belt a little to make it work better in the past.

  • @EricTheCarGuy Its an auto. And there are little cracks in the belt. I'm pretty sure it needs to be replaced ;)

  • @EricTheCarGuy Its an automatic. Also, the belt has little cracks in it. I am pretty sure it needs to be replaced ;)

  • @myadler Sounds like replacing it would be a good idea then. If the drive belts are in that kind of shape you might consider doing the timing belt as well.

  • @EricTheCarGuy A full belt replacement (including timing) is on my short list of things to do though when I was doing the valves I took a look at the timing belt and it seemed to be in great shape. No doubt I will be making a purchase from you when I get around to doing the TB.

  • Very interesting and useful video, i have been going through this problem, with my 07 Honda accord 4Cyl, i think one thing that you are missing is the clearance gap for Intake and exhaust valves. Does it differ from every make and model ?. I have looked for it every where, but i can't find it.. I'll appreciate it if you can send me the reply with the clearance info. The VIN # STARTS WITH 1HGCM. Please help me.

    Thanks and keep it up.

  • @iftikhar0005 As stated in the video it's located on the under hood sticker or in the service manual.

  • my next door neighbor has 96 honda lx 4 cyl .I notice his honda has hard time starting any clue what may cause this? I do not know his maintenance history

  • @socalRooster Any one of about 100 things, you need to do some diagnosis when the problem occurs to find the cause, I have no 'magic bullets' for you sorry.

  • woops i didnt know i already posted that earlier sorry

  • Hi eric nice videos. very helpful

    I have an idle that revs up and down when hot. I searched for vacuum leaks and changed coolant. I want to clean the IACV i just don't know where it is on my Honda Civic DX 98. Would performing a valve adjustment get rid of this revving?

    Any advice would help greatly appreciated. I have been trying to fix this for a month.:(

  • @XTallyOhJoeX The valve adjustment would not help. As for your IAC I believe it's on the back side of the intake manifold. You might also check the PCV valve. Try watching the video I did on Solving Honda Idle Problems as well. Good luck.

  • @EricTheCarGuy Does the car have to be jack up to do valve adjustment ? I was thinking it had to so you can spin the engine from power steering?

  • @mikeyung91 No, when the car is off you can spin it just fine, if it's a manual leave it in neutral though unless you have at least one wheel up.

  • Hey Eric I thought you said the intake valves were always bigger?

  • @micheal751 They are.

  • @EricTheCarGuy I was just confused about what you said at 4:44

  • @EricTheCarGuy I was just confused because of what you said at 4:44

  • haha, "dora the explorer here" eric right off the get go you are funny

  • Thanks Eric for the awesome video. I just bought some small gauges and I'm gonna do it when it's nice out. Honda Accord '99 DX. -Dan

  • @DanielRemains Good luck and thanks for the comment.

  • hey Eric. Nice videos man. just a question. I have got a carburated corolla with 1300cc got it tuned recently. If i were to adjust the valves myself, would i have to get the tuning done again? or no?

  • @tauseef7061 If memory serves those valves are NOT the same as these, you need to take your measurement, compare it to spec, and order and install a pre-measured shim to make the adjustment. I don't recommend it if you haven't done it before. To answer your question however I would adjust the valves before tuning the carb.

  • Did you put some new NGK spark plugs in and gap them properly, too???  I hope you did!

  • @NETWizzJbirk I always use NGK plugs and never gap them, I visually inspect the gaps before I install them but the factory gapping is far better than anything you could do on your own.

  • i like to do this on my 99 accord, but i have 2 past issues on the valve cover,the dealer have to reinstall the valve cover twice because it started to leak oil,right where the bottom of the cover and the edge of head meet, and also,can you reuse the gasket for this when you remove the valve cover gasket?

  • @wangbungal If the gasket is not stiff and hard you can reuse it.

  • Eric, Thanks for the great videos. With your guidance I was able to replace my brakes saving a bundle. Now I’m on to another problem. Very rough idle. It’s a ’97 Accord LX 4 cyl. If I turn off the AC it get a little better but still idles rough. The RPMs don’t vary much, just rough. Do you think adjusting the valves would help? I’ll probably pay to have someone to do it since I have no experience with this. I hate to spend the $ if you don’t think it will help. Any other ideas?

  • @brandtjr It's not a bad start but probably won't fix it all. Try cleaning the screen on the IAC valve also and doing a good tune up with quality parts. Next check the timing belt tension and make sure there isn't too much slack. If you do all that and still have the issue then you might check the engine mounts. Good luck.

  • HI Eric, thanks for the response from before.

    Another question for you? Do you know the torque settings for the 10mm nut that keeps the adjustment screw in place?

    I ask this because I redid my entire valve lash adjustment, and my Odyssey was sounding and running perfect, like brand new perfect; but after driving about 45 minutes, all of a sudden the engine sounded like a diesel again. Any ideas?

  • @TheBmag360 I've never torqued those or even know the spec sorry, I pretty much do it by feel, took years of practice though.

  • Off topic of the video but what is the purpose of the springs honda puts cams on these engines?

  • @Tippey764 If you are referring to the springs on the rocker shaft assembly they help locate the rocker arms on the shaft.

  • Hi eric, i know this is an old video, hopefully you still check the comments. anyway, i was thinking about your list of things that will make my honda run like 'nobodies business' lol and i was wondering how to clean the intake valves and EGR port? im guessing EGR is exhaust something. also i have a vtec-prelude which is DOHC and i just adjusted the valves which was much trickier than on this SOHC model you've shown. is there a chance you could do a video on a DOHC model?

    ps. i love your videos

  • @somenutjob I did a video on EGR cleaning that you might want to check out. Cleaning the intake valves was not really a part of what I was describing in the video. If I get a DOHC in the shop I'd be happy to make a video. Thanks for the comment.

  • Hi Eric. Thanks for the video, it has been very helpful. I'm hoping you could shed a little light on "just a little drag" when checking the valve lash? Can you think of any way to describe in detail or self-check the clearance when I have my feeler gauge in?

    This question comes from my own adjustment on this past weekend; 2004 Honda Odyssey. I was adjusting for ticking. Now though, it sounds like a diesel. When I checked adjustments before, exhaust side feeler wouldn't even fit in was so tight.

  • @TheBmag360 That is something you develop over time, remember this is all about the feel and experience plays a large part in that. As for your noise, it's critical to make sure that you are on the base circle of the cam when doing the adjustment, if not your readings will be off.

  • nice vids bro!!!!...damnn bro i wish u could help me with my dodge stratus,,makes noise after replacing the timing chain....

  • @cacol11 Could be a bad hydraulic tensioner or some other mechanical issue, hard to say without getting a listen for myself.

  • just came across eric the car guy first time seeing your vids and ive probably watched about 10 of them. Very informative and on the money thanks for your info and knowledge gives better ideas on how to go about doing the job its like ALLDATA on youtube lol keep up the good work bro

  • @617Rubia I like that comment a lot thank you!
