Hey John, I've learned alot from your website over the years when it comes to working on my 1974 MGB. Trouble is I still feel iffy about tuning HS4 carbs. My car's engine isn't original and those are the carbs I have. Do you think you could post a video of how to tune them? Thank you and keep up the good work.

Thanks for these videos, they are very enlightening. What I think would be great in this youtube format that can't be described in a shop manual are the sounds that particular problems make. It would be great to hear what a worn rocker shaft sounds like, or an exhaust leak, or piston slap, etc. I'm sure you guys have plenty of cars come into your shop with these stereotyped sounds that you could record to show your viewers so that they could diagnose the sounds that may be coming from their engines.

Thanks for the most helpful MG videos around!

Keep up the good work guys. I recently purchased a 73 MG B and really have no experience other then changing brake pads and oil when it comes to cars.

Part of the reasoning behind the purchase was to learn more about working cars and as a bonus I get this fun toy I get drive:)

Your videos are an absolute godsend. I've learned a bunch so far watching them.

Thanks a bunch,

Love the Videos. Video filming is better than mine. I will have to get myself a camera person rather than doing it myself.

Keep up the good work.

There isnt many young people in the UK who work on their own cars other than fit big loudspeakers and oversize exhausts.

It will be a real shame that all the skilled (good engineers) are in their retirement years. What a great loss when there gone.

Video on oil coolers and thermostats would be a good addition.

Great channel John, I've been a mechanic since the late 70's and love what your doing here for everyone. Many folks may not realize it, but great old-school mechanics, like John, stay in the trade because they enjoy helping people and the job satisfaction that follows. That's certainly clear with what your doing here on youtube my friend.

Having cut my teeth, so to speak, working on British cars. I especially enjoy watching all the videos here with all the models. One comment I'd like to add though about smog inspections. In some states, like California, you can register your vehicle as a Historical Vehicle with different plates and you never need another smog inspection if you drive it for pleasure and to car shows, etc. Or under 3500 miles per year. Just a note for people to check on. Thanks John, great site.
