Now I normally don't do these types of posts due to time (because I dont have a camera crew following me around), and one missed step in my vocabulary will blow the expert troll trumpet. I haven't searched if there's already a simular video out there, but I would like to drive home the importance oil changes to my customers & general public. And if it helps another shop or technician, wonderful. We cannot fix them all. The oil system on late model vehicles is not just for lubrication. It's a precision hydraulic system too, that must be kept clean. Many makes & models are very similar in design and should be treated with the same respect when it comes to service.

This engine in particular is 2019 Ford 3.5L twin turbo ecoboost, with the compliant of rattle during start up.

A customer had towed in a 93' Chevy P/U, torn apart and couldn't get back together themselves due to a stripped out crankshaft bolt. It's not a repair most shops will undertake, but we do our best to help everyone.

Been a minute since we shared something. This 65' Fastback turned out very nice. Ran smoothly & the engine bay was quiet. The 351 is overbored & stroked to a 393ci. It was originally fitted with a chome aftermarket serpentine belt system that was noisy & plague with belt slippage. It was replaced with an upgraded Holley belt drive system, which swapped the alternator back to to the passenger side, and the A/C compressor& power steering pump to the drivers side. The water pump is now a bullet type taken from G.M. on their LT platform engines.
The customer opted to replace the out dated Edelbrock pro-flo efi system due to poor drivability & parts availability. We installed a Holley sniper 2 system with their solid state PDM box, which cleaned up much of the wiring.
