      @@JerryDLTN If you use RUclips Premium they pay out to the creators alot more than ad revenue does. Most channels make all of their money in ad revenue but the person watching has to watch the entire ad. If you skip when the option pulls up, depending on the length of the ad they'll only pay 5% - 10% of what they would if you watched the whole ad. Which at that point is only like a few cents. YT Premium pays a flat amount per video. It's really fucked up how the revenue works honestly.

  • @andrewzanas9387
    @andrewzanas9387 4 года назад

    Thanks, guys. Incredible job on a very complex rebuild. Massive kudos to starting the R8 on the very first try.
    I put this accomplishment up and equal with a black guy I was following for a while from a small West African nation. He did all of his own shade tree mechanical work unassisted on his '05 Audi. No job was too big, but this was strictly out of necessity, and like you guys, nothing he encountered ever phased him. What made him more heroic was there were very few gas stations in this country and zero parts suppliers, never mind paved roads.
    He became so popular it attracted the attention of the wrong people. He was forced to take down his RUclips videos after he was thrown in jail, stripped naked and beaten for two days. No one had given a thought to how bad he had made the state government agencies look. That's when I switched over to WatchJRgo.
    So, how are you guys with the local politicians?

    That P0087 code may be from air in the fuel rails might clear for good after a drive, get the engine under load to build some serious fuel pressure to purge the air bubbles, just free wheeling/ neutral revving won't build max fuel pressure, glad to see it running, maybe smoke test it to see if you missed any ports
