@@RonaldHolmes-vj7mo lol!

@@Drakes_Garage thanks for watching and commenting. Adding "No-Sew" fabric adhesive strips on the folds and finishing it with an iron to set the adhesive works great to reduce pulling and puckers, as well holds everything in place for long-term use

@@Reddirtrodz thank you for the tip. Probably helps when sliding in and out. 👍👍

@STE6168 no. Distortion is what kills speakers, not power. You can run 1k watts to a 10 watt speaker, as long as it has a clean signal and you dont bottom out the driver. Essentially, you are setting the maximum clean volume. After that, you have to listen to your system. The speakers will let you know when it is too much- burning smell, popping, crunchy audio, etc. Regardless of the speakers and their power ratings, you always set your gains this way so that your signal is alwasy clean no matter how loud you turn it up, provided you don't exceed the head unit's max clean output.

@@fernandomatias603 we did! Lol

@michaelmenard8913 we wanted to weld it up like original, but yes, panel bonding is great, I use it all the time. The other issue is that welding is cheap, PBA is $60-70 for a 200ml tube, and we would need two tubes. Back when it was $20 a tube, I used it all the time. We do use it regularly on our fiberglass reproduction Corvettes, we are planning some videos on the fabrication of our C1 Vette bodies, so stick around for that!

@chevecrazy454ss hard lines are nice, but they dont give you much room for error or changes. This car sees a lot parts swaps as I use it for a test mule a lot.

@coltonsmith3397 no, that is how it is factory. There is a ton of clearance.

@@Reddirtrodz on the factory one it has that cut out and doesn’t stick out into the fuel pump lifter at all

​@coltonsmith3397 where are you seeing the bearing stick out? Share a timecode from the video showing what you are asking about.

@@Reddirtrodz I look down the fuel pump lifter bore and see the bearing sticking out.

@coltonsmith3397 on your engine? I thought you were asking about the engine in my video, lol. You need to make sure the oiling hole in the bearing is centered over the oiling port in the cam journal. If it is properly installed, there should not be any exposed bearing material. Go find me on Facebook facebook.com/share/nDWwKA3AkKU7WxPD/?mibextid=qi2Omg and send me a PM with a pic so I can see it.

@@nicholasvachek5991 not really for that, it wouldn't last.

@scottschmittmusic not all wheel cylinders are available new, and this is the kind of skill that could be very useful someday.

@Aquafeee you dont have to spray this glue, you can use a bristle brush (not foam).

@@Reddirtrodz pick up my 72 on Monday the carpet definitely needs redone I’ve watched so many videos I think I got this 🙏

@@Reddirtrodzalso should I scrape off all the old glue build up?

@Aquafeee it doesn't make much difference on carpet, as you wont be able to see it, and it won't affect the adhesion. For vinyl, like on a door panel, yes, you would remove the old glue.

@GrandPitoVic get on Marketplace, you can get the parts you need there fairly cheap.

@@Reddirtrodz Cool deal, thank you!!!!

@Enjoytheinbetween who said that? The output of the engine has no bearing on the accessory drive.

@@elijahsmithers6504 in theory, nothing is wrong with a 1UZ, but we don't have one! LOL

@user-fl5we5vc5v you can order them directly from TMI www.tmiproducts.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkdO0BhDxARIsANkNcreUtdGcKfA4-5lXWev-sHbhVJKxo8KC1VSN1JaOs-hQ33IRO_lEr9QaAsK6EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

@@sparkie5571 unfortunately no.

@@Reddirtrodz appreciated! been living with it for a while on my head unit and it would be a great feature for these manufacturers

My alpine radio has a vol lv ajuster. If I turn it up or down it seems to act just like a volume knob. My understanding would be turning the volume lvl adjust down by however many numbers until max. Say radios max is 35 but you have distortion at 29 so you would turn it down to -8 so that at 35 your only actually playing 28. If I'm wrong on this assumption pls let me know.

@@JupiterxBlues thanks for the tip!

@tantic8108 the bearings are the same inner and outer diameter, the difference is gen V stock bearings are split with a puzzle-piece keeper, and the gen IV LS design is a single piece. Split bearings are less desirable. I used a cam bearing installer tool from Powerhouse Tools.

@tylerb2494 use the 3rd design LS cam bearings, fit perfectly.

@@Reddirtrodz thank you I couldn’t find a answer nowhere online

No, the graphite color is the only option. Nothing will stick to it. But it stays clean for a long time and can be touched up without looking touched up. It always blends together

@@ReddirtrodzHad bought two cast Iron exhaust manifolds which supposedly came painted with ceramic paint from the factory. I sprayed both of them with CERAKOTE Cobalt high heat color. I am restoring this Chevy Truck. one manifold started rusting in few spots. The other one is still perfect. Looking for a way to stop the rust so I can repaint it. Thank You

Just be patient and makesure you use the right mandrel.

Lol, still a helix!

We get it from NAC (North American Composites), which is nationwide. We have changed the way we apply it, need to make a new video on that, it works even better, parts practically fall out.

This ensures the lock doesn't bend or break, which is very common on SS ties, and it gets then as tight as they can go without damage.

Running it around the speaker wouldn't do anything positive. The braid is the noise sink for the low voltage signal, it won't help with any other noise, and looping any signal wire creates an antenna for noise, which should be megsted by the braid, but I wouldn't do it.

​@Reddirtrodz we are on the same page. "-) I also get that you need at least 18 braids. I was thinking if you then used that 18 braid section at the speaker as a service loop we'll say, then i dont have to rerun the whole connection. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, the old wire could be my pull string. Ha ha

No, you have to pull the crank to get to the cam journals to put the bearings on the tool, can't slide them in from the front/rear. You dont have to pull the pistons though.

Everything comes into play. This is theoretical, you cant just put 8k watts on a 400 watt sub, it will nuke it.

Sure, the solder melts instantly on the tip, but you have to heat up the base metal, which takes longer than a couple of seconds. If you just let the solder melt on the tip to the wire, you get a cold solder joint. Take your no clue having ass out of the comments, bud. Flux is not needed with rosin core solder for electronics. Hate to break it to you...

Oh, the rockers alone had that many, lol! We are in Oklahoma, where rust is bad, but not Michigan bad.

What do you mean? This was a serious repair video, the amp from the video is back in service.

@Neushoorn63 these are shorts, they provide a quick overview of the process. Our full-length videos are very detailed.

Yes, as long as it doesnt kink, it is OK to bend. It should not split.

@@Reddirtrodz Thanks. Can you recommend a hand type bender for doing smaller tighter pieces? My dad had some real old small roller type benders but long gone now. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated. Will take my time, I understand no guarantees - just what you might suggest.
