One of the greatest benefits I get from watching your channel is to rapidly realize what vehicles ***NOT*** to own. When such a simple job as a valve cover replacement turns into a sadistic game of twister, it is time to pass on owning that vehicle.

Your skills are incredible to watch. Disassembly is difficult enough, but to be able to reassemble it again afterwards is hugely impressive. I loved the look on Lauren’s face when you asked her to order those two gaskets. Bearing in mind her (presumably) limited knowledge of vehicle parts, she did amazingly well to source them. I don’t think I could have done it. She’s an absolute gem, and a huge asset to your business. She also far prettier than you! 🤭🤪😉🤣🤣 Another excellent video, Ray.

Well cars are built that way because it saves a few minutes during assembly in the factory, these company's don't give a rats behind if it takes 5 hours to replace spark plugs, they care if a car is put together in 8 hours or 7 hours and 22 minutes as that saves money. that's why you see quick connects and inaccessible bolts everywhere, if you imagine the drive train separated from the body everything is accessible and easy to put together.

What terrified me was that the manifold bolts were all M8. In a M10 hole ! Anyway, fixed the leak and when the piston slap became unbearable, I sold it. Nissan has changed considerably, since those days. We now have variable compression engines and JATCO CVT's that offer considerable employment to the repair fraternity.

When me and my fiancé first met, she drove a 2008 Saturn Vue and doing regular maintenance was terrible. It was very tedious and time consuming just to get to certain things. Just like trying to get to the oil filter, you had to reach through the bumper and around the loopy loop and around this corner and then when you get your oil filter wrench in there you have no room to turn it. I call my local Chevy dealer and when I asked how was I supposed to get a oil filter wrench around the oil filter, they laughed and said that’s the exact reason they quit making the Saturn Vue’s because of the complexity. The tech told me he’s glad has not seen one in the dealer for a long time

Engineers take a lot of heat but at the end of the day they still have a boss that tells them they have to figure out how to put 5 tons of shit in a 1 ton sack. Some (most?) companies prioritize pretty on the outside over ease of repair denying the engineers the space to rotate a bolt hole to make it more accessible in situ. The other options are either to decrease the size of the engine, remove accessories, etc. or expand the engine compartment which adds weight, decreases fuel economy, decreases cabin space, and/or increases cost.
