How satisfying it is when you have worked on the engine yourself, and it works great. It never ceases to give me so much pleasure after doing this type of project. Respect dude.

The best point of a rebuild is when it bursts back into life after all your efforts. Still love that feeling after many (mainly motorbikes but smaller turbo car engines too) rebuilds. Great stuff! Happy New Year when it comes Ezra!

Love you videos man, you inspire me to keep making KZread videos I stopped cuz of how busy I’ve been. How to videos help so many people including myself, I’ve been around trucks all my life and the stuff you teach, only real truck drivers and owners that don’t like paying for mechanics know. I salute you sir God bless you keep it up

Looks as if she is running sweet and pulling like a train. I certainly agree with everyone about that feeling of great satisfaction when you fire it up and go on a road test. Great job. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

Cool that Ziptiesnbiasplies joined the livestream! You and TwinSticks and Ziptiesnbiasplies could make one hell of an awesome group video!🤘 Have a great 22!

Been 70*F here in N.C. for the last week and I have loved every single minute of it. Y’all can keep those Arctic 🥶 temperatures and snow. The older that I get the more that I dislike cold. Maybe that’s why Yankees like to load their U-Hauls and head south on I-95😆. Glad your truck is running well 👍

Ezra, it sounded like Christine in the movie when she drove in all burned up.

I’ve got to figure out how to change the name at some point. Jeff from Bama here. Hope you and yours have a wonderful new year Ezra!! Thanks for all the education and entertainment.

Good morning Ezra, stay safe brother.

Job well done! The rebuilt engine sounds great.

Congratulations on that "cheap" overhaul success. Happy New Year to you and all your family.

You don't think it was cheap?, seeing as you put the word in quotation marks.

Job well done. And it didn't break the bank. Keep that snow up there. I wouldn't bother me to watch you push snow, rather than me.

Good job on the engine. Last time I pressure washed my engine it spit and sputtered for three weeks and I had to replace all the coil packs. Darn things are supposed to be sealed. Here in Ga today it is a balmy 78 degrees. I am 63 and have never seen it this warm in December. Kinda scary...

The engine that was in that truck that I rebiult and put back in was already a junk yard replacement only got about 20k miles out of it before it tried to kick the rods out. the original engine that came out of that truck I rebiult and that's the engine I swapped into my Jag. And it still going strong dispite the fact I put a blower and a big cam in it and have beat the heak out of it non stop

Happy new year to you all Ezra from Dublin, Ireland

How did you get the accuracy on the timing of the distributor? It seemed it would be hit or miss... I must be missing the trick!

It looks like it needs a new ac compressor, those ht6 compressors always leak at the joints between the case halves. It is very important that they are tightened down nice and even. Whenever I buy a vehicle with a ht6 compressor I immediately look for black oily areas on the ac compressor.

Do you cover your distributor before washing it

What product do you use for an engine clean?

how did that cam work out for you?

Success! Well done! Now wear your seat belt you rebel you! Or at least put a piece of tape over the light!😆

thats a gopd truck right there! i had several of those much better built than these new ones!

Wash them often in the winter time paying close attention to the underside of everything. Also don't wait for it to warm up to wash best to wash when it's really clold out gets clod enough the salt stops melting the snow and ice your vehicle will stay clean/salt free longer. But mostly just try to keep things as clean as you can and if you're not going to drive or use something for a few days wash it before you park it.
