@LigerZero1985

other than that nice set of vids.

thank you stay tunned for more...

[darkmetallica]

i don't know weather it's the same with an oil filter gasket... but with a car and bike head gasket for the engine ( i'll explain because in your video you said you didn't know much about mechanics... the head is the top of your engine that completes the combustion chamber ) when you replace the gasket you remove the old gasket and sealant and put on gasket sealant and then the new gasket ( probably the gunk you removed )... you really dont want to scrape your gasket because any unevenness leaks

now that i was aware of...the sealant well....there is not supposed to be any according to the service manual....that resedue was melted gasket for sure...so i wanted to restore it to a clean state..so that the gasket would seal properly..as when new..thanks for the comment.

Re: torque wrench. How many clicks does yours require to indicate the proper setting? Sounds like you click several times...mine is 1 click. Be careful not to over-torque, its a real pita if you strip the threads in the engine case. Great vids! Ride safe!

[jorgecornet]

yes you are correct...i watched the recording after having done this and notice what i had done and went ahead and fixed it...

want to see how ur carbs look like? i've posted a carb tuning vid. its gonna be uploading all night.

[jorgecornet]

yea i'm actually very interested..i hope your video shows disassembly...and reassembly...maybe even how to clean..etc...

[carsnwomen91]

not really. i do disassemble parts but not all, its a carb tuning video. and both uploads just failed over night so i'm re uploading them again. each one take over 3 hrs. i'm extremely angry lol

[carsnwomen91]

see? now this one was good, more stuff like this!... the stuff inside that hole is ur transmission. very cool indeed, nice how u got it lit up and got the camera in there. never even knew there was an oil screen. i actually enjoyed watching this. just a cleaning tip, carb cleaner or brake cleaner work really well against oil and grim. also helpful, get a torque wrench if u want to go that extra mile and have it tightened properly ;) i will subscribe if u put up another good video

[jorgecornet]

i'm sure you saw me using the torque wrench at the end of the video..

[carsnwomen91]

ya, sry. i stopped watching after 5 mins because it was the reverse of putting it on,

[rebelyell91]

Very great stuff man, this was superb information.

I prolly need to do that on my next oil change :P

[jorgecornet]

Thank you so much...

Plastics come in tomorrow..then I do a coolant flush..and get a plate at the DMV

I apologize if you feel that I called you out about the oil fiilter on part 2...!!
