    I always spray a thin coat of Rust Check or WD-40 on any painted metal engine parts like the air filter housing and injector lines. Keeps it looking good under the hood.

  • @theghostleader140
    Great informative video as always my friend, one small note i might add maybe you could lower the camera's exposure a little 'cause everytime i'm watching one of your videos it's like i'm in heaven lol
  • @josephstanger873
    I could not from the video, but did the engine have tappet hold down kit installed in the head? If it did not the tappet guides can back out and ruin the engine, especially since this car has higher mileage that would be a real concern.
  • @dancingburr
    Can you please clarify if rtv is to be used on your PermaDry Valve Cover gaskets? Because I watched another video from you that says RTV should NEVER be used on your PermaDry Valve Cover Gaskets, and I'm so confused.

    (Apologies if slightly off topic, as soon a I saw the word “Gaskets” it reminded me of the Head-Gasket thing, Lol)I’m assuming there’s a logical reason I’ve simply never heard mentioned (Other than initial Cost to the auto/engine manufacturer..?), but my Question: Why not use a simple copper type head-gasket similar to what’s used in VERY High compression racing engines? …my first guess would be that they wouldn’t fail very often in a much more civilized street engine. It would possibly help to avoid the often Large Labor charge for the work necessary to access and swap out an OEM type gasket that’s seems like Frick’n rice-paper in comparison to a cooper Head-gasket? But Hell, I dunno. 🤔For some odd reason I researched the specific topic. Hmm… —- Anyway, Thanks! 👊
