Mannn I wish I had a mentor like him. I'm loving his videos. Absolute legend

I'm really not the type to comment on youtube videos, but I felt moved by your testimony. I'm a student in a Diesel Technology course a few months away from attaining my A.A.S degree. I hope to secure a position as a diesel mechanic after I graduate. I just wanted to let you know that you had a motivational impact on me brotha.. Thanks, keep up the good work!!

I'm sure you get a lot of compliments on you videos but I'm still giving you one. I've a mechanic for 20 years now and probably lost some fire for what I do but your message gave me some hope. Rock on, brother.

I love when you talk about God....I need that more than auto advice

knowledge is nothing if retained to oneself. teaching the world of your ways is an added bonus to your loved ones absorbing your philosophy. Good luck and god bless my friend.

Excellent video man. I love how you’re teaching your daughter as-well. Great to see good fathers in the world.

I need that because I'm tryna fix my car and it has no compression in 2 cylinders. I use to be in the streets and selling drugs and had addictions to gambling more than drugs but they equally effected my life. I stopped hanging with dudes who were fucking up my growth. Didn't learn my lessons until late 20s and started fixing myself in my early 30s. God bless this man and everyone.

Mann you get it bro. I'm a greenback in auto repair starting with my own car. I've learned more in just a few of your videos...god bless!

Powerful messages! First half of the video is top notch repair instruction. The second half is top notch life coaching and motivation/ guidance which hit me squarely. Thank you Brother. You HAVE been blessed. You could have a large role in things with your strong communication style and presence. 👍

Great job explaining this! It's unfortunate many people don't even know how to do an oil change, let alone do any other work to their cars, so it's great you posted this.

Brother I just want to say thank you I learned a lot about my vehicle and I got a spiritual lesson 2 God bless you!

This is a crazy fresh breath of air .

+oldskool funk Hey, oldskool funk, would you recommend I do this test on my car? I suspect I have a possibly worn piston ring(s) issue... I lose a good amount of oil over a small amount of time but my car does not leak at all. Im guessing the oil is being burnt but no smoke is coming out of the exhaust. I changed my oil and over the first 1000 miles i had to add a qt. then after about another 700 I had to add another qt. and now at just under 3000 miles after doing my oil I had to add another 1.5 qt of oil in. Any ideas?

You should be a teacher. You explain things and make everything so easy. I appreciate you

Brother oldschool funk I must tell you. I have watched Eric the car guy many times in the past but, I have never enjoyed watching him like I enjoy watching and hearing you share your knowledge. That is truly unselfish of you to share this knowledge. You resemble the one you claim to follow. God bless you!

I wish we had mechanics like you in Israel !!! God bless you already!

Great video. You explained everything in layman terms so everyone can understand. Great Job. I enjoyed listening to you teach. BUT! What I really enjoyed is your Preaching of Jesus the Christ, Amen Brother. I pray you touched the lives of many young ones who are watching this video, to turn to God for everything. Thank you so much. God Bless.

Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much blessings youve brought. Ive been going through a rough patch and this was enough for me. God bless!!

This video costs much... thank you man! Thank you both! ❤️

Very good video your the best. I love cars and love God. I am a retired mechanic and your teaching skills are perfect. Training who I believe is your daughter is awesone. We need more people like you in this country. God Bless!

Old skool I love watching your videos not only for the repairs/diagnosing but for the lectures you give us. Good stuff man. keep preaching

Pro mechanic and GOSPEL Warrior!!! AMEN!!!! YOUR GOSPEL AND TEACHING IS SECOND TO NONE! YOU BLESSED MY DAY AGAIN! I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!! PREACH ON AND TEACH ON BROTHER!!! YOU HAVE THE LIFE OF CHRIST IN YOU!!!

Currently taking a mechanics course yesterday we learnt about those tests and I came to you for a follow-up. Thank you both for your time. Great communicator. God bless.

God's a true blessing and so are you , after watching this helpful video truly help with me with my fight. Life is too short to be negative and this youtube video is the best I've seen in a long time. Thank you! Godbless

I wanted to thank you for all of your videos, you go through the motions and explain everything very well. You remind me a lot of my dad when you talk, I'm going to school for automotive tech and I wanted to thank you for your words at the end of the video. I have struggled with drugs and alcohol myself, I have been sober since august 27th 2015 and I feel like I'm ready to tackle school and better my life with something I love. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

Dear sir,fantastic video,butifully explained,very clear ,concise and thorough,and methodical.and godbless for being such a wonderfull teacher ,and showing the young lady.the proper way of doing the testing and taking her under your wings.well donevand keep up the superb vids,steve from the uk

I like the way you finished the video with the word of God most important thing, more important than any leak down test brother

Bro. No lie. Your videos are dope. The knowledege your sharing and involving your daughter is 👍👍👍

Hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen homie. Thank you

Brother I enjoy the whole video lots of great information but I gotta say the best part of all is when your sharing what The Lord has done and what He can do if we'll put Him first in all we do. Reminds me of Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Praying for you always brother man God Bless you.

I didn't put effort in these test before starting my current project of overhauling the motor on my wife's car. It was leaking oil... main seal and developed a massive coolant leak to outside looks like a core plug on back of the block. I would have done a leakdown for comparison if I had a leakdown tester. It was not necessary, After watching this I will be making one of those from scrap. Thank you for this demonstration

Awesome video, teaching his kids what to do. America needs to learn from here

Keep it up brother!! God did the same for me when I turned myself over to him. You have great vids and ingenuity!

I came for the knowledge, stayed for the message. Thanks man. Good Bless you.

Came here after watching ETCG doing a leak down test. He's good, but I've subbed to you because it looked like you were in teaching mode, and you went so far as to do simple diagrams that were just that extra 10% above most others. Gotta catch up on the rest of your videos.

old video, still fresh content and message, cuz don't matter the messenger, but the message, keep it strong brother, God it's the only way to real happiness. God bless, to everyone out there.

I dont know what you do for a livin old skool. But you you explain stuff very clearly and in depth. You would make a damn good autoshop class teacher at your local highskool or community college.

Watched not even half of video and must say this man is a Genius when working on cars!. I learned alot just by watching him. This man is great at mechanics.

spectacular way of sharing the hands on experience with the audience here. nice stuff! hello from Russia!

Dear friend im really glad to find this video because its t Best video of explication on compression and leaks i find on google about 2 days.

If only half of the viewers would have given you a like for this. Cause its actually a damn useful video

God has blessed this man! Hes the truth and i appreciate the mechanics lesson

I respect ur work. I respect how u talk about God n Christ... God bless u.

Awesome video, thank you! I'll be back to study this again and again.

My brother you are a breath of fresh air. You are a living and true testiment to the power of God. When you acknowledge the giver of the gift and give the gift back to God he in returns gives you more gifts. Don't be discourage, keep doing what you do. God Bless

I love your passion youre a great man god bless you brother, keep up the Good work. Greetings from Holland

you are a inspiration bro. I went school for this many be try put me down even my own family. Your videos are always on point. better then some web seminars that be on KZread. 👍👍

this car, valves are pitted with failing rings. when i rebuilt my gsr i was getting 360 on a dry static compression test. wet was higher due to shrinking the final volume at tdc. watched because i need to test some marketplace dirt bikes and dont want to buy a project. leakdown test will tell me if the top end is good or not, quickly. awesome vid for being 7 years old. cool dude.

God Bless you young man you say you pray to learn this stuff,I think it's more like your mind is clear your eyes and your ears are open and you learned to keep your mouth shut until it was time to ask about something you my not have understood that way you were not breaking in to a mind set of this is to hard to do or I will never be able to learn this and you were not stopping someone else from learning. In fact you were helping the instructor teach and inadvertently helping others to learn if in fact they were willing to and wanted to learn. So in fact you were thanking God for your clear mind open eyes and open ears witch you being like me allowed you to learn and the instructor to teach those who like you and I had the passion for this. So you like I thanked God through PRAYER as I have for years for giving you the Ability to do the three things I said in the beginning, because if you don't do the things I said you stop yourself from and anybody else from learning and you stop the Instructor from teaching and that my friend is showing Respect not only to the instructor to guys that want to become a wrench as we did but to God for showing you the way and God love ya for doing so cause we know it works. Don't ever forget a little PRAYER goes a long way. I'm 63 and have been wrenching since the late 60s but really started getting paid for it in 73 when I got a job as a fleet mechanic and retired now .But I want to thank you for doing it the way you did and are doing you said it you can't take it with you so help the ones in need pass on your love and knowledge for this as you are God Bless you young man for being who YOU ARE.

The instructions are made specifically for Black folks like me to understand, excellent. My dad was a mech and Ive been to countless schools and training programs for general maintenance, but hearing the detailed instructions from you has topped them all, much respect.

Thanks big brother I got more motivated to work in my life

This is the best video I have seen for identifying loss of compression. You showed how to use all of the available resources on the car for identifying the problem which I wasn't not even aware I could do myself. Great job. !

I've been rebuilding and building High performance engines for over 35 long year's and I know alot of so called mechanics and shade tree backyard wanna be. But my hat is off to this man he reminds me of my father a very smart knowledgeable advanced intelligent man. I miss building with my father I miss the Nascar track. Im 47 year's old my father is gone and not a day goes by I don't think of him. He started teaching me his knowledge at a young age of 13 he bought me my 1st car when I was 15 it didn't run in order to own the car dad told me to fix it. Cylinder wall's was scared of course rings and honing was necessary. Dad told me to read my book's and fix it. I fixed the car after a little over a month. My dad was impressed he sold the car and it made me mad little did I know dad bought me a 1971 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop 350-350 turbo my dream car. I was thirsty for bodywork and painting knowledge to because I had love for customized classics. Carl a friend of my father raced to and he had a body & paint shop my father introduced me and off I went to learn I bought multiple cars to practice on 89 T-bird 81 mustang 1978 mercury marquis 1973 Ltd and of course my favorite 1971 Impala she is special to me I added fender skirt's shaved the door's and turned the hardtop into a true drop top dual exhaust paint is emerald green with micro metal flake 100 spoke rims and 2 reds hydraulic pumps. I worked in a machine shop after dad got sick and sold all 5 garages and 2 junkyards. Them was the best day's of my life and I don't take them for granted. I humble myself and keep my faith I tell myself to pick up where my father left off and be the man of the house. I still work on automobiles to this day. Guy's like use are few and far apart. I really enjoyed watching your video knowledge is powerful and I see you used your head for more than a 🎩 rack. 😃

Your word of wisdom was as good as you showing how to diagnose a low compression issue. Which I think is wrong with my car now, but thx to you. Now i know how to test to see if it is. Good video, keep doing what you do and God bless.

Just wanted to say thank you for your knowledge and passion. You sound just like my dad! I've always been strong in my faith and all my passions. I'm going through a tight spot in life but God always has my back so I keep fighting and pushing. Also, I have the same issue with my wife's car and haters too, family of mechanics. They dont want to do the work but its for my wife so I will learn whatever it takes to take care of her. My first work on a car was fixing her timing belt and with good faith I took my time and got it done right! I was very proud. After watching your whole video, you gave me the will to block those people out and go forward full strength, no stopping ever! Thank you so much again my man. God bless you and all your loved ones

I've been through several of your videos in the past couple months and they've made me a better mechanic all around. Appreciate the videos 🖒🖒🖒

Best video out there on training diagnosis of a no start bad compression. Kudos man

Great video man, very thorough and informative. Thank you and God bless you.

I just came across your videos, I have to say that you and your simplified explanations help motivate the "DIY"er to lose the common fear of the unknown. I was one of those afraid to try something new. Keep up the good work, we must never lose faith in ourselves!

The reason you pull all the plugs out is so you get the same cranking rpm. If you leave plugs in you have compression resistance from the other cylinders. You want accurate readings so like he said pull all the plugs. I have been doing this for 30 years. Thanks for helping those that are trying to learn.

May God bless you and your Journey in this life, thank you for your inspiration.

You remind me of my uncle he was a smart cat, taught me a lot about cars but always kept it old school! God bless big homie!

I wish you were my Automotive tutor, keep it up bro.

First time watcher, and never have I heard such a uplifting video.

I'm not real religious, but i like to hear you rap on it because of the inspirational qualities. I could see negativity on the idea of working as a mechanic, but everybody has to get out at some point. The positive side of it to me was how much more can-do independent thought and action as well as troubleshooting mentality that being in the trade helped me with. My current career is in electronics and power systems, but you would be surprised at how much certain things in different trades and technologies overlap.

I wish you lived close by. You seem like an honest mechanic.
