    He actually lived in a home for boys for 6yrs, then with a foster-family where he was beaten almost daily for 5yrs,🤕, he's over-came so much in his short life, he should write a book about it.

    I must say, when I first watched your channel a number of years ago when you were a young kid, I was in absolute awe of you knowledge and expertise at such a young age and still am. Diesel definitely flows through your veins buddy. I, like many others I am sure, are always excited to see when a new episode comes up. Regards from South Africa

    Gotta say ~ Thank you for putting a face to those Expert pair of hands. My dad used to tell me, there is nothing like "Hands-On" experience, to to broaden your learning. When you get in there; and get your hands soiled and learning by trial & error is Rewarding!! Keep learning as much as possible. You're still young and as the years pass, you'll be Mega successful. As usual, A.H., Well Done!!

    Wonderful job, young man. Seeing you doing it made me jealous. I'm 71 years old now and didn't know in my youth what options I had to choose from. Now I wish I wouldn't had choose to be a painter. Your job is a lot more interesting than any of my jobs at all. I survived a long life on bad salaries because of that. I hope and trust you will do better than I did. I wish you all the best in your future.

    On some stuck engines we have let vinegar sit on the cylinders. Some people think coke works also! Time and pressure on the crank is probably most important.

    You could do that. Ive heard from some other people who have done it is that you have to do the evaporust treatment before you put any sort of petroleum inside the bores as the oil will act as a barrier for the evaporust and jt wont make sufficient contact with the parts for the chemical reaction to do its thing
