    Be careful when you are undoing oil filter housing. Sometimes oil get stuck there and the alternator below gets an unwanted oil shower

    First thank you, I wish you lived next door and I'd feed you well and pay you for this job lol. Question, I'm confused...if you used the torque wrench and set it to the correct tightness why did you then do the 90 degree turns AFTER it was torqued to spec?

    Nice video - does the black paint on the inside make the headlight appear any less bright at all? Thanks

  • @BTR_REBUILD
    @BTR_REBUILDАй бұрын

    Thanks for watching! No the black paint doesn’t effect the brightness as they’re projector headlights. The light is magnified through the lens and doesn’t rely on the reflective material inside the headlight like conventional headlights with the halogen bulbs

    Did you use the old Solenoid from the bad pump? Didn't the new pump come with a new Solenoid and need to be pushed through the engine block to disconnect/ reconnect? I've got an N18- maybe yours differs? I'm stuck at this step.

    Over watched this video on and off that last two days as I changed out the timing chain and all the other stuff from Detroit Tuned. Things I learned: the four bolts that hold the upper motor mount bottom bracket to the block may break. You can’t remove the timing chain and guides with the dipstick still in place. And finally, 15” diameter walnut logs work great as Jack stands when you can’t find your second pair. 😊

    Sorry bud you can not do this, you need new bolt and use brake cleaner voor het doordraaien van de tandwielen op de kruk of nokkenas, er mag beslist geen olie tussen zitten, ook moet je alle tandwielen vervangen dus ook de vvt vanwege een nieuwe ketting ( chain) alleen op nieuwe tanden kan, Ook kun je de nokkenas bouten maar 1 x gebruiken zijn rekbouten en nog veel meer zoals de tipex witte stip op de nokkenas bout om de 90 graden te zien, en je moet een stapel stenen onder de krukasboutstang plaatsen zodat je normaal kracht kunt zetten
