As a machinist of 30 years myself. You are someone i would trust with my parts. And i don't trust very many people. Take care my friend.
I admire your patience with keyboard mechanics, it reflects on your business success. Keep on trucking brother…
It’s funny how the guy on RUclips with a professional machine shop knows more than the people who swear they know what’s wrong with stuff and never put hands on it! I’m glad you have patience and knowledge to educate people. This is the kind of channel I enjoy watching.
Appreciate the shoutout, and more importantly appreciate the way you approached the scenario with the viewer... When we choose to put our work on the internet, we open ourselves to the criticism of the world... That includes some of our peers who are qualified to offer criticism, as well as the less qualified individuals who still feel the need to criticize! But it's important to take the time to educate, and this was a great example! 😀
This gentleman here has explained everything so patiently and has been so respectful in every way. For me, that says SO much about him and his character.
Good episode. I'm 3/4 of a century old. Been playing with motors since I was 10. I agree with you. Valves will seat and work with way more variation than shown. Think old 200K motors that still make compression with valves you can wiggle with your fingers 1/8" ... 😊
That valve wasn't landing on the seat. There is a problem somewhere between the cam lobe and the tip of the valve stem. That's where the original client should have been looking.
If you were my service provider, I would stick with you through thick and thin because you have treated this issue with utmost seriousness and the way you resolved the situation was completely professional and you didn't quibble with the client. You were a man of honor in this instance.
Bottom line is The tech who did the r&r job either set the valves too tight or had a plunger pumped up So if he had of a backed off the rockers on the affected cyl it would have fixed it When you poured the liquid in and no leaks That was enough for me as far as That guy goes he can take a long walk of a short pier donot worry about it bro
I know that this video is almost a half year old but I just run across this. What came to my mind was. He had to eventually find the real issues going on, but I'm betting he doesn't call and apologize. Just me thinking. God Bless ya'll.
Ray Charles would see the leak. Best laugh I've had in a while.
As aircraft mechanic piston turbine and a few car, boat and bike bulds ... I been around the block a few times. Everything you said is true and on point. People should appreciate you sharing your knowledge as a master engine builder. I would absolutely have no problem shipping all my future builds to a trustworthy technician. Keep the faith my friend.
There's no doubt this guy understands every last detail of what he does, and the problems that can/do arise. He doesn't come off as arrogant, but confident in his experience and knowledge.
I ran a machine shop right up the interstate from you.
“Ray Charles could see the leak”……now that shit was both funny and accurate..!!!
I am an Aircraft Mechanic of 25 years. The reason i say that is brcause i do know a little about this stuff. Im not an office worker or mamas basement keyboard warrior. I could tell from the first video the guy that sent the head back had a valvetrain issue of some kind. Could have been several things. I believe you showed that very easily. I have seen valves with nearly 1/8th inch play in an automotive application still seat and not leak. He clearly had some blowby but something held that valve open and had zero to do with the valve job your guy did. Period. I appreciate your channel and the informative nature of it. Great job.
This probably won't impress you but I just wanted to tell you. I've been a cylinder head man for 40 years and have worked at a very high quality shop. I have subscribed to you because I feel you are very sharp and I love how you handle things.
You were very smart to video tape the whole process from the time you took it out of your truck until the end. There isn't anything else that you could have done to please that customer. Your handling of the situation was very professional and commendable.
Watched both videos. You are the rare example of what makes America great ! The business man that stands behind their work and is truthful. Let it go, move on to the next job and keep up the good work my friend. You are a true grassroots american.
You come across as an honest dude, it's one of the reasons I enjoy your videos and you seem to be a guy to admit any errors and embrace truth.
