After making the initial diagnosis on this vehicle and determining it is in cylinder number two, it is time to pull the intake and have a look to see if we were right! UPDATE: Customer had me remove the heads and off to the machine shop they went. Machine shop reported back that ALL intake valves need to be replaced even though they would seal, they had slight bends to them when installed on valve grinder. -Enjoy!

im left wondering what the customer wanted/decided to do. am i missing a video?
Where can i get that software you used and how much does it run along with the compression tester and leads
Being a mechanic is tough. I have been 40+ year's. I have seen some incredible repairs.
This would rank in the top 20's for me.
Eric, I tip my hat to you!
Owning my business has taught me that people want to be informed.
We are not perfect. We do our best from our vast experiences and knowledge.
I tell the customer, in simple format, and want them to ask as many questions as for them to feel comfortable with the answer.
I do not know everything. I will find the answer always.
Thank's Eric! Keep the wrenches turning!
Well, I don't like to complain much but, if a mechanic works on my car and, do the timing wrong, his morning coffee will be full of screws.
Thanks for all your help Eric
Just found your channel. Remind me of when I worked on them 13 years ago before the economy took a dump and was forced into trucking
if all the bolts were loose the bolts on the cam gears were also loose and slipped the timing. Good times.
dafuq is a "leakdown test", and compare/contrast to a compression test?
A Jr college that teachs auto mechanics would do well to hire you
I would call the customer first. I find out if he wanted you or even himself and save whoever the the time and effort of removing it again
You're phenomenal dude. A lot of mechanics have problems with dyirs like me, and understandably so. but you have props man. Given customer's bs job and then not taking offense if they took your assistance but wanted another Crack at it.
