Thanks Dave for the video

Thank you for your honesty . We all have dumb ass moments

Thanks for your knowledge its really appreciated!

Chasing data with off the shelf equipment can be frustrating, we run out and buy new testing equipment and expect it to be correct. I find myself doing the same thing, even though I had worked for a company in the past that required the use of certified pressure gauges for all testing for consistent readings. Watching your videos has me back to what I was taught when testing, never work without a leak detector or soapy water when testing and trouble shooting. Thanks for the reminder to never assume your equipment is leak free without always checking connections or even for internal gauge leaks.

I love and appreciate your presentation style and demeanor. I like honesty, integrity and someone who is not afraid to act liike an adult. Torque wrenches no matter the price or brand can vary a little, a lot and even the same wrench can vary drastically every time it is pulled. I used to have torque wrenches re-certified for their calibration every 6 month at a job I worked at because it was a mandatory requirement (nuclear motor designing and building). I have seen some that needed to be sent back to the supplier or store for exchange as they were off from brand new.

If you're measuring anything that matters your tools should be calibrated. The calibration facility should maintain proper testing and accuracy ratios and their testing and calibration equipment must be traceable to NIST ( National Institute of Standards Technology).

Ran into the same thing when I built a HD M8 engine.

Proseal or powerseal? Just wondering because i may want to get some cylinders plated in the future
