Hi DoItMyselfGarage May I use this on my channel, full credited of course? Where did this happen ? Thanks
Love the videos! Great meeting you and my son loves the hotwheels truck you had for him at the car show in Cambridge today! Rock on man, very cool of you!
I'm glad to give out the Hotwheels to get that next generation interested. Thanks for watching!
I just picked up one of these as well. Mine's a '93 and is in unbelievable shape. No rust. I'm just missing the strap that holds in the mulching block. Waiting on a belt and oil filters.
Mine has been a good mower so far. I've had it about 7 years now. I don't like the 3 blades side discharge. Let me know how the mulching goes because that is something I would like to try.
You mentioned the washers with the cuts on them, but never followed up on what the use for them were
I apologize for any confusion. The two washers with the cuts on them are basically just ground into on one side so you can still use the washer if the hole is really close to the edge. Don't recall which area was the one that was a common issue, but QA1 included them as a convenience. Mine were far enough away to not be an issue, but some vehicles it might be necessary to grind the washer to fit into a tight spot. If you can get it all put together without using the modified washers, then you are all set. They are just provided as an option. These cars were massed produced, so some of the fitment varies from car to car.
@@DoItMyselfGarage ok thanks for the response. I put the rears in yesterday and fortunately didn’t have any washer issues.
I'm glad I searched on CZcams before removing unnecessary screws lol You're amazing! Thank you for posting this.
Glad it helped! Some vehicles you have to disassemble the entire grille! Fortunately these are a bit easier. Thanks for watching!
This was easy to fix. Everybody should have a hand pump.especially in Florida.
Yeah, anyone with a shallow/sand-point well should have one of these. Other than keeping the leather pliable so they work, they are pretty reliable.
That’s oil in your radiator fluid
@@jaadunajs6110 okay, I'll keep an eye on it then.
The old pulley bearing don't press in and out ,You have to drill out where they had spot welded it. then get the right bearing by the numbers on it,Then use the holes that's there and bolt it back together with 1/4" DIA X 1/2 " long grade 8 bolts and lock nuts .
Thanks for the information. Never did rebuild the old one. The replacement is still working fine.
Don’t the ball joints mount on under side of upper control arm
Not on the A-Body cars. They won't physically fit the other way. Thanks for watching!
Home
And added note for people that read comments there seems to be no instruction for putting on the front mud flap but it needs to be put on before the front tire and the flower goes towards the back which is exactly opposite of what you would think I had to take the tire off twice 😜
Appreciate the tip! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this. I bought this bike for my granddaughter and I'm the assembly person in the house. Shame on you Schwinn for having such terrible instructions that cover way too many products and none of them really lined up with this bike. Before I even saw your video I thought these instructions are so backwards let's just put on the training wheels first so the bike balances is itself. So that's a tip for everybody and you do mention it closer to the end of the video. They totally were not in the way of anything so there's no reason to not put them on early in the game to make everything else easier.
I'm glad my video helped. Yes, those training wheels should really be one of the first things to put on so you aren't fighting it the whole time. :) Thanks for watching!
These exhaust manifolds are good for clearance but they can not allow the engine to build horsepower over 400
Actually I've seen tests where these flow about 90% of most aftermarket headers. Problem on Pontiacs is clearance, so there are major modifications required to use headers. Engine is plenty powerful and dangerous for my taste. I'm still using cast iron heads. They were ported and polished but an old pro I found, but still are a bit limited on flow since Max lift was around .500. It was what I could afford at the time and the combination seems to be working good for me. Aluminum Pontiac heads are ridiculously expensive. Thanks for watching!
Thanks man! Love you're work
Thanks for watching!
Hey my car is in this video!!!
You have proof that it drives too!
@@DoItMyselfGarage hahaha 😆
Which car was yours?
Thank you How do I change the time?
If I remember correctly, when you use the app you can set the time. Unfortunately my camera was stolen not long after I installed it, so I honestly don't recall exactly how to set the time.
You can buy a new center cap from OPGI. Don’t. The steel prongs that hold the center cap on are inferior and won’t hold it firmly.
Appreciate that information. Some "repro" items are decent and others can be questionable. My cap cleaned up decently, so it's good enough for now. The spokes were actually better than I expected, so that helps brighten up the whole thing. Thanks for watching!
Good to see how you solved the string and the yellow wires. I tried it and was stumped by the whole thing. I gave up and put the old parts back. I still have the new parts and might try again. I really question why they made the replacement parts the way that they did.
Yeah, it had me stumped for a bit.
How come you don’t show any of the important things that needs to be done ? Sad
Sorry, on the videos that I'm not sure if it's going to work I sometimes leave things out. Main thing is that I was able to do a temporary repair with epoxy. Each repair will be different.
That`s a fantastic job! Your steering wheel looks as good as new. Someday would like to do something similar to my 1970 C10 Pickup. Great tips on refinishing & filling cracks. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! It turned out better than I had hoped for. I'm curious how it will hold up, but so far I am very pleased with how it looks. Thanks for watching!
What you are doing has nothing to do with valve lash. What you are doing is setting the lifter preload.
Appreciate the clarification on terminology. Since this doesn't have solid lifters, then yes you are correct that this is just setting the pre-load.
I live in a dry cabin in Alaska. 25 foot sand point. Top end cast iron
Good progress jefe
How did you attach your pool pump to the hose attachment of the slide? We just got one
I unscrewed one of the jet nozzles and replaced it with an adapter for the hose. There is still one on the other side, so it doesn't cause any pressure issues.
@@DoItMyselfGarage do you mind telling me what adapter I need to get? There are so many. Thank you
@@sujataamin7563 Every pool is different. Unscrew the jet and bring it to a hardware store and they should be able to help you. The end that screws into the slide is just a garden hose fitting.
Nice video sir !!!
Thanks for watching!
looks like a Springfield Armory 40
What did you paint your bumpers with?
Since the majority of the chrome on the bumper was peeling off, I scuffed it down with some 150 grit sandpaper and hit it with some undercoating/bedliner. It has come off a little bit in a few places where I've rubbed it while getting stuff in/out of the trunk, but has stay on pretty good. If they start making better repops, then I might consider replacing it.
good job bro, no need to remove the rear axle for installation of these shocks though, just making more work obviously lol, keep everything loose on the ride height adjuster till the shock is mounted so you don't have to loosen and tighten the bolts over and over possibly wearing out the nylon locking nuts. looks really good...
You are correct that I didn't have to remove the entire axle. I already had the axle out because I was replacing the center section, getting new axle bearings and replaced all four control arms. It was very filthy, so it gave me a chance to clean it up nice and inspect everything. It is still working great and I love the positive control from the coil-overs. No wheel hop when doing burnouts!
@@DoItMyselfGarage call then it wasn't a waste of time, it looks pretty clean going back in
Thanks for the great content , your support of the cause, looking forward to a interview video on Bill Britz's model A street rod build
Thanks for the kind words. I will set up that interview soon!
I've got a badly cracked set of round port manifolds, and was hoping for some tips. Didn't help. Yours look superb.
Thanks, that Calyx does a great job of making them look great. I would highly suggest trying to find an aftermarket set of the Ram Air headers. They fit perfect, flow great and would solve your manifold issue. I don't know of any way to repair those. Most people replace them, so maybe someone has a good set laying around. I sold one of mine, so only have one left. Guy bought it for the date code for a restoration.
@@DoItMyselfGarage Pontiac round port exhaust manifolds are extremely overpriced, these days. At least good ones are. Cast iron can be welded, (with a nickel rod) by an experienced "cast iron" welder, and the right procedures. I know of one guy, (licensed) who is older, and lives outta state. I might try him. If nothing more, these manifolds will be good for picture taking on round port heads, like my 71 455 HO heads. And thanks for the reply.
good job!
Thanks for this video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you much but how do you charge this car? Was very helpful your video. Is possible to tell me please?
The charging port is just under the front edge of the seat. It isn't very obvious. There is a small hole for the charger. The charger light on the wall plug takes about 15-30 seconds before it changes color once it's plugged in Red or orange shows it's charging and green shows it's done. It will take several hours to charge. Up to 8 if you drain it completely
thanks for taking the time to make this cool video! your videos are very informative 👌 👏 👍 your grandkids are fortunate 2 have a kool granpa!😊
Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for watching!
Trying to find a video that explains distributor gear for the 5.7 vortec. I can never get the dist right on,it's almost like it's a haalf tooth off and cam offset will never hit that 0 to 2 degrees.
Not familiar with those engines unfortunately. On old engines you can turn the distributor before locking it down to adjust the timing. Sometimes you would have to move it over one tooth so you didn't run out of travel, but that varies depending on engine, car, etc. Some timing gears allow for an 2-4 degree offset to begin with, so the cam timing is slightly different than the crankshaft. Maybe that is what you are referring to?
Hello All, Do not remove all the lug nuts from the wheel without a jack supporting the vehicle. You're supposed to loosen the lug nuts only when it's on the ground. Notice how the wheel just fell off after the vehicle was lifted. He had his head underneath with no support. He could have been crushed if the wheel had fallen off. Be safe!
Wow, didn't notice now until you mentioned it. I honestly usually just loosen them, but must have been gabbing away at the camera. Yeah, that wasn't smart! I always use jack stands, but definitely did that in the wrong order. Thanks for watching!

was it leaking ? any other way to diagnose the water pump. my enclave still running hot. I replaced thermostat, fans, radiator - oil has not coolant btw- ! its either air trapped in the circuit or the water pump !! any advice would be welcomed
Yes, mine was leaking. You could smell antifreeze when parked indoors and the level kept going down. When there is a leak it often times won't draw down the reservoir, but will be low. If you pull that front plastic cover off then you can check the actual radiator level. Could be a bad radiator cap also. Don't check while hot or you could have a mess and get burned.
Also, these vehicles run around 190-200, not 180 or lower like many others. Wouldn't be surprised if you got a bad thermostat. Parts these days aren't the best. If it isn't boiling over and just showing hot on the gage, then it could be a bad sensor also. Laser heat probes are nice for checking actual temps. They are super cheap at Harbor Freight and can help with diagnosing things like this.
