LS Engine: Detailing and Cleaning: Epoxy and Paint Prep

[@normanjohnson4648]

I want to thank Chad, Jolene and their crew for a truly great year of entertainment. If 2022 is half as good as 2021 it would be a wonderful thing. I don't think that Chad & Jolene truly realize how much their subscribers appreciated their near daily videos, especially during the trials and tribulations of Covid. Their videos are always informative and provided a unique and personal look at automotive customization. Thank you again and best wishes for 2022.

[@ynotthekiwi8429]

Sometimes I watch you do stuff and I think "that's not right" but by you not knowing that you just get the job done and keep moving forward and that's why everyone loves you and your work ethic :)

[@i8ntnuts]

Definitely an A+ for effort. Do you have to respect somebody that tries hard

[@jeffreycrossin427]

The one good part of 2021 was watching your videos every day. Thank you for a fanatic year. May the new year be better then the old one. Love you two. Happy New Year be safe and healthy 👍

[@kevinching1975]

Here in New Zealand, we use gunk which is Jeys Fluid mixed 50/50 with Kerosene and brush it on leave for 15 mins and wash off with water then air to dry the engine afterwards. It removes vast amounts of grease and contentment,

[@waderobinson4911]

One of the things I like about you guys cause your a team . Is how simple and relatable you keep everything nice job.

[@howquick]

Love that you’re going with the LS 👍. Perfect mix of old and new.

[@rcbodyshopfr]

Thank you very much for this year of learning and fun, and motivation to work on projects! We wish you a nice 2022 year with a lot of pleasure to work and show!

[@southernacho]

Thanks Chad and Jolene for the great moments along the 2021!! go for many more years 😎👌

[@ka4hpy]

Happy New Year to Chad, Jolene, Fina and all the fine folks who come on your show!

[@ericsplan1]

Happy Friday and New Year thanks for sharing your time

[@allanimalstaxi]

LS motor on its way to Elvis, it doesn't get any better than that! I hope 2022 is a better year for you that 2021 was, Happy New Year!

[@gm-lb9oe]

Great video. Now I know what to do . Thx to both of you

[@loubianchi2577]

Thank you Chad and Jolene for taking us along as part of your family...I look forward to next year and watch the family grow. Happy New Year!!

[@kennethdamewoodjr8276]

Chad I love your work and creativity. It is plain to see you enjoy this artistic approach to revisiting vintage automobile design. You may consider using bed blasting crushed walnut shells to remove rust, dirt , and grime before painting engine. Crushed walnut shells are cheap, non destructive. They will polish as well as clean and are easy to dispose. Great show ,keep the faith Bro!

[@oscarbvm5954]

Clean the engine reminds me when I was a little kid helping to my grandpa, nice work!, happy new year!

[@timothymcfarland1307]

Lots of work. But it is what it is . Thank you guys for sharing

[@groovjam]

And Happy New Year!!! Your show is the only thing I watch , much to my wife’s amazement!😃

[@jparish2469]

thank you so much for another year and hope we will have many more happy new year Chad and Jolene Fina .

[@ShowPhil]

I'm using all the tips and tricks you show on the build of my bagged '52 Chevy 3100 that I'm documenting over on my channel! Keep up the great work Chad & Jolene!

[@nancycardoza8724]

Love watching Elvis come together. Love that sneak peek on the GREAT steering wheel.Thanks!

[@cathyandgreg4239]

Happy New Year folks. Chad you are so right, a lot of work to prep an engine for paint. The LS is cleaning up nice.

[@anthonygallegos5198]

Perfect video it’s exactly what I’m needed to see what I was gonna get into on my own motor lol keep the videos coming Great Job 👏🏼 💯

[@richardhill4684]

Toromont Caterpillar has excellent engine degreaser, there's a dealer in Dartmouth NS I used it for years works great.

[@jimberry1227]

Looking forward to seeing you in 2022. Thanks for encouraging me to get things done.

[@davidtutor6763]

Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two

[@jerrybaldwin6955]

An eventful year in the books, have a Happy New Year.

[@johnjackett3138]

Thanks for all that You do

[@robbiepiacun767]

You are the best camera lady ever Jolene, your cinematography keeps you interested as much as seeing the hard work Chad puts in, awesome job both of you. Looking forward to seeing the hood actuator completion on Elvis. Best wishes for a healthy New Year.

[@rccustomcreations]

Should have put my protective glasses on... Just got a wire bristle in the eye just watching this... Thanks for posting real time content. Gives me a great idea of what I'm going to get myself into on my 78 Ford camper special. Happy new years to everyone. Stay safe

[@darrylway4910]

First time I'd seen an engine get prept for painting,thanks for the tuition lesson👍👍

[@ssr1st]

Looks great

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Happy New Chad & Jolene hope 2022 is your best ever!

[@fredgillick3071]

Happy New Year's Chad, Jolene, your families, friends and all your subscribers. Let's hope 2022 will be a Healthy new year for all of us. This covid virus is far from over with. Be careful and safe while out and about.

[@franksgarage8551]

Chad, its awesome to see you taking interest in the LS engine. Best advice i can give you is find someone proficient at swapping these engines. For the money it will be worth it in the end. I know myself i wouldnt tackle it without someone with the knowledge to point me in the right direction. Have a Happy New Year!

[@AAURAW181]

Have a GREAT 2022!

[@47kb8]

Looking good. I have used Oven Cleaner on a old '65 inline 6. Took off years of oil, grease and crud off. Worked very well, too well at times. I did a second round and it started removing some of the old paint.
One word of advice is either work in a well ventilated area or wear a mask (pretty nasty on the lungs.) I would use a set of latex gloves because this stuff is kind of corrosive. As a mechanic I didn't always care about stuff like that . "PLEASE " use a face shield when you are using your die grinder. Your glasses don't appear to have any protection on the side of your eye/ face. Those filings travel faster than you can blink.

[@mattcasoni]

Thank you Chad and Jolene!

[@davidsuric295]

Thank you for everything that you and Jolene do to make 2021 amazing!

[@stvmike]

Wish you guys a happy new year and looking forward to 2022 videos

[@fnaauto7282]

I love seeing the daily progress, you guys inspire so many people!

[@russellrapoza1177]

Happy New Year from Hawaii
Might be a good idea to change out the knock sensors while the intake is off. On these they tend to act up, so might as well change em while everything is off.
Keep on going. You’re an inspiration!!

[@JustinLCecil]

Simple Green is my go-to product, but I have no doubt that you'll get it sorted, whatever it takes. 👍

[@alancroft4231]

Would of liked to have seen Jim before the year was over, He should have his own TV show could be called "No Place Like Jim" most interesting man I ever saw, could listen to him talking for ever ,,Happy New Year Jim-Bo, you to Chad, Jolene, and can't forget Fina as well, have a good 12 months and STAY-SAFE!!!!!!!!!

[@JohnJones-vt4eo]

That Engine will be fantastic to see it all cleaned up and painted, Happy New Years to all at HILTZ Auto Co

[@i8ntnuts]

A good degreaser and a pressure washer would make short work of it.

[@johnallen372]

Just getting it done 👍

[@jamesmccrindle1022]

HAPPY NEWYEAR TO CHAD ,JOLEEN AND FINA . THANKYOU FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR OF CAR BUILDING CONTENT. I NEVER MISS A NIGHT WITHOUT WATCHING. I NO LONGER WATCH EDITED CAR PROGRAMS BECAUSE ITS NOT REAL .

[@philipburrows]

Hi Chad and Jolene
Wishing you, your family and friends a beautiful New year, prayers for the year ahead is prosperous and joyful for 2022.
To watch Chad as he works on the car's is like watching Bob Ross painting one of his masterpieces.
All the best Chad and Jolene and it so good to see Jolene has healed beautifully.

[@mileskruse6745]

theres are alot of jobs that are not fun but needs to be done.I hope you have a Happy New Year

[@tonymosca6591]

All the Best for a Happy New Year Jolene and Chad. Thanks so much for providing so much education and enjoyment this past year!

[@bruceg7204]

Happy new year to all of you

[@cannabisticannabisticino2718]

In your place I would have tried to use the pressure washer. The weather is good and it doesn't snow, just drag the engine just outside the door. Maybe it would be easier and faster in the end.
I like the steering wheel, it looks good. 😎👍
Greetings from Switzerland

[@janetcoursey6756]

Love how you show every part of the process involved in putting a car together! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@mikebahhneman6379]

I have had good luck cleaning motors with an SOS pad and some spray. Looking good Chad.

[@gearhead4013]

Can’t wait to see the LS painted. Elvis is going to be a sweet ride.

[@fredhoman6101]

great video again,as always learnful ,also Happy New Year for all of you,

[@drscrib99]

You need a good Steam Cleaner it melts away grease and the water dries easily.

[@bennys.8814]

Another great video thanks guys happy New year

[@mritron7649]

That be an awesome new years eve hanging out with Chad in his shop cleaning and painting an LS drinking a few cold beers !

[@thelamielousershow2896]

Hey brother, new to the channel but I knew your name and that you're a legend. I don't comment much on videos I watch but I just wanted to say that it's really cool that you upload videos of basically a raw 2 hours working with you every day. Its inspiring because it's unedited and that you gave struggles in your shop just like the average Joe. Im working on my first hot rod by myself right now and I'm learning a lot about how to approach a project. Thanks again man! I'm gonna keep watching for sure

[@thelamielousershow2896]

Oh and cheers my dude. I'm drinking a miller light

[@timbits.3591]

Love you guys. Thanks for 2021 content. Look forward to 2022.

[@shotgun283]

The mighty LS 👌

[@nickissa]

I'm excited to see what Chad will do with an ls....interesting to see him adapt

[@markshepardson5264]

You will never regret going with the LS keep up the good work👍🏼

[@martinjay5906]

Polishing the LS is a good way to end the year . Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR CHAD N JOLENE!!!

[@jessieleary8196]

Doing what you happy is so true love the time you guys put in to these doing what makes you happy right on

[@FriedGarFish]

The engine is looking great. Good to show what you are up against cleaning an engine.

[@xOLDGUYx]

got an engine block sitting in my garage that needs to be cleaned up, this is inspirational :)

[@mikeross5820]

It's Friday, Happy News Years to you all.if heads not what you want when done.Get some wheel Brite for wheels and try it.

[@Dylancfritz]

So satisfying to watch

[@brokenanvilmetalcraft4916]

Oven cleaner works a treat

[@i8ntnuts]

The old formula “easy off” would clean just about anything. I haven’t seen that stuff for probably 40 years. Most aggressive solvents and paint remover‘s are no longer available due to the health risks associated with them. The original old carb cleaner was the best. You could buy it in gallon cans or 5 gallon. It’s also no longer available

[@stephencarr2216]

WARING!!! Don’t use oven cleaner on aluminium, It will stain it dark grey!!! Ask me how I know?? Wire wool is the best to clean it, Great job guys! I love watching you on RUclips, Your both such hard worker’s, Thank you for your videos ❤️👍

[@johndownes2833]

Happy New year to you all at
Hiltz auto co
John Uk 🇬🇧

[@ionedave]

That engine going to look good. Always nice to have a freshly painted engine.

[@mikethompson2229]

Looking good keep up the good work.

[@nederpiet]

The way I understand it, is that the oil pan is too low. You will need to chop a few inches from that hump. Half Ass Kustoms shows you how to do that.

[@williamsizemore98]

Get'r Dunn!,, Its always nice to see the end results of a little bit of elbow grease, some degreaser, rags, wire brushs and some good ole Chevy Orange . Banmm!

[@paultubby6878]

Great video as always. Some times things need a little more work then a quick hour. Better to spend a little more time to get it to the standard you want. Going to be nice engine that’s for sure !

[@robertpeeler4359]

I would advise you to change out your knock sensors chad before you put the engine back together I had to replace mine and had to take the whole intake off to replace them and put some silicone around the plastic covers so water don’t get in and on the back of the manifold there is a piece of foam remove that because it tends to hold water in the back of the engine and water is what makes the knock sensors go bad

[@sloazone25]

That takes me back to when I worked in my dads hot rod shop. That was my duty day in and out. Thanks for all of the great content from you all! Happy new year!

[@i8ntnuts]

It reminds me of myself and how I used to do things 60 years ago.
I was pretty young and didn’t have the knowledge or resource nor the experience. I made quite a mess in the beginning lol.

[@veramargit]

Chad, my husband says that what you experience as a film that you do not get off the engine block is a protective film. Only go away if you get rid of it with sandpaper. Happy New Year and good luck with the cleaning. Hugs from Sweden

[@nosparex]

I'm sure it will turn out great. Happy New Year. Hope 2022 is all you want it to be.

[@markplant2184]

Awesome job

[@laird340]

Can't wait to see Elvis done

[@OCDCYCLES]

Make sure you replace those knock sensor wires😁 Scratch that, the new aftermarket harness should have it.

[@ronhonig]

Congratulations on your enthusiasm. Cleaning engines is one of my pet hates, well done.

[@shenpensenge]

Happy new year! I´m looking forward to your videos in 2022, thumbs up

[@tommybrazell3538]

[@davidsimpkin1213]

It’s FRIDAY!! Nice clean engine... Happy New Year 🥳🥂🇨🇦

[@allenice3001]

Chad it takes a lot of guts to put it all out there for everyone to see , hat off to you

[@kirkstapleton3990]

Hey Chad I'm a big fan and have built a 500 hp 6.0 LS the thing you should look at is the oilpan , if you are going to put this in Elvis and run him low you will need to have the oilpan shortened or purchase off Amazon the Hotrod oil pan to shorten it for lowriding your chassis . They have one around $100 dollars which isn't much considering everything else your doing to Elvis . JMO keep up the great work I'm excited to see what color Elvis is going to be

[@jazzking99]

happy new year all! that engine is gonna look great but it looks complicated once you tear it down. hope you can get a true gearhead to help! it will be worth it in the end.

[@DavidBrown-mn3iy]

I hope someone out there living the LS life can suggest a superior aluminum cleaning solution for you. There is certainly something that will work for you.

[@i8ntnuts]

Lots of very good aluminum cleaners on the market. Some of the best ones are no longer available in California unfortunately.

[@mark110101]

Great intuitive lesson as always Happy New Year to you Chad and Jolene, and of course Fina Hope 2022 brings more amazing content from you guys

[@kevinhamilton7028]

Happy New Year, it’s been a daily teaching lesson. Thank you for great daily content
