[Snotboxrocker]

Somebody can't tie their shoes!

[bigpopy95]

make sure to get that brake cleaner in your eyes

[88cjames]

this is so advanced? i'm confused? why would i care if there is oil on the top of the valve cover?? why would i even need to clean the cover at all, other than the edge that seats on the rubber seal? won't more oil just get on that cover area after i say.....fill it with oil and drive it around at high speed and pressure?? jokes...

[benstaxidermy]

@OldSchoolSk8ermatt shut up no one asked for your opinion.

[OldSchoolSk8ermatt]

For all the people who make fun of responsibly cleaning up harmful chemicals: I suggest you do us all a favor and take a nice long drink of antifreeze. Why do you idiots think there is such a huge rise in birth defects?

[BarneyKraft]

@OldSchoolSk8ermatt Terrorism?

Brake clean is also good.

[Drago2600]

break clean is the shit.

[TheSquirrelyGirl]

He probably charges $90 an hour=30 minutes for the actual work and 30 for the cleaning and earth friendly recycling.

[jekyll1776]

[WhatWouldDerekDo]

So watering my plants with 10w30 is a bad idea?

[gamefan101]

[IronGiant6369]

Nah it should be fine, just be sure to give them plenty of sunlight.

[chamblizi]

@WhatWouldDerekDo yes but using a chevrolet with a bad headgasket is good for your plants lol

[under0ath109]

@WhatWouldDerekDo Yes it is. It's too thick, you're going to need 5W-40. ;)

[frednator]

woot woot oregonian

[dlinechamp78]

all you have to do is screw out the valve cover and take what your looking for out.

[noetherianring]

Your videos are great!

[MegaBilly007]

hello i have a 1991 chevy lumina euro and my pcv fell into my valve cover my question is can this cause any damage to my lumina and can you show a video on how to replace a valve cover on a chevy lunina euro 3.1 car thanks for your time

[jayjayhootie]

man screw the tranny fluid just run valvoline maxlife

[stavroni]

since the covers off... and drian the oil, is it okay to clean the insde of the engine?

[Timothayyy]

Youd need to take the intake manifold off also to clean inside the engine. With the valve cover off all you could clean is the head. I wouldent recommend it though unless you have something to suck everything up, because if you clean it all the junk will go down deeper inside the engine.

[stavroni]

so just leave it. and change the cover up.. better of to fuck up my engine..

[Timothayyy]

Use synthetic oil and make sure to change it every 5,000 miles or so along with the oil filter. After a few oil changes the inside of your engine will be alot cleaner.

Another thing to try is use regular oil and substitute 1qt for ATF [automatic transmission fluid], it has a lot more detergents then motor oil and will really clean the sludge out [I wouldent run it with the 1qt of ATF + motor oil for more then 50miles]

[stavroni]

yea i will try that... but do u know wat is a problem with the e-brake light.. the e-brake light is on when the e-brake is down?

[Timothayyy]

Id check the condition of the cables. Other then that it has to be an electrical issue.

[stavroni]

i was told.. it might be low on brake fliud, or a leak on master cylinder..

[Timothayyy]

Well check the brake fluid, takes 30seconds.

I have no idea what kind of car you have, I was speaking in general.

[stavroni]

yea man.. 1993 mazda mx6 5 spd.

[stavroni]

but thnx for the ideas guy..

[usernamesimpleflame]

im putting new tapping cover gasket kit on my 1998 rav4 and it came with 2 simi circle plugs that i dont know where they go think you can help me out

[youme53]

akela hurt the invironment!

[daeng01905]

hey before I unscrew the nuts, do i have to drian off the engine oil?

[02Pony]

I wouldn't say that you necessarily "have" to, but if it were me I would go ahead and change the oil out at the same time. Start that new gasket with fresh batch of oil.
