To bad I live 10 hour’s away, you would be my new mechanic. I had someone like you for my daughter when she lived in Fairfax Va. you guy’s are worth you weight in gold. 🥇
I laughed real hard when you dropped your 10mm. As a master tech with 25 years in shop experience I can tell you that 10mm sockets are the #1 most lost, broken and misplaced socket. Also while I was working for Autozone I shared this information with them and my suggestion to have a replacement pack of 10mm sockets was actually followed through on. You can thank me for the multi-pack of 10mm sockets.
I'm a long-time amateur mechanic. I've tackled most of the jobs you do on my cars and motorcycles over the years. It takes me 2 or 3 times as long as you and I make a lot more mistakes, but I eventually get it done. I admire your efficiency. After watching you, I finally invested in some power ratchets after using hard tools almost exclusively. That should speed things up. Keep up the good work.
Yes it will, the problem with power tools, they are addictive.
Im a retired lineman diyer. Trying to save money . I make mucho mistakes, but 1 success to 10 fails worth it
Ray should charge us for teaching us as he goes! LOL
Why did you almost always only use hand tools?
@@coreyfairbanks7374 yes they are. I just bought a Rigid stubby impact. Not that I need it but I have the batteries and HD was selling them for $80.
Ray, those amongst us that are “hardcore Rainmam Rays fans” know nothing else but to stay to the end and watch the entire video. That’s what what makes our day just a little easier to swallow for all of the fecal matter that we will inevitably have to deal with. Watching you make human mistakes is what keeps us in the right mindset because after all, we ALL make them. Have a good day.
Amen! If we were perfect, we wouldn't be here. We all learn from our mistakes except for those who always place blame on others for their mistakes known as the 'entitled'. Sad. God Bless you and yours Todd.

I like how nice you are to the younger mechanics and how yu patiently explain things to them without calling them names. That's rare to find. The shop should keep you just for that plus the great warranty work
Peetah!
I remember when I got my first job in a shop in the early 80's (JCPenny/Firestone). Was watching a mechanic during my break tearing apart a front end when he looked at me and said "Why the F are you here NooB? You don't know shit". I said "That's why I'm watching and trying to learn you F'ing a'hole" (I was fresh out of the Marines). Walked off to watch another mechanic that was a bit more amenable. Was one of the experiences that made me decide I liked to do the work as a hobby but not as a career. Went into computers instead. Worked out. OH and he was the shop a'hole. Everyone hated him.
Well, that's cuz of you damn mlinials! lol
Just kidding of course. Hats off to the younger generation of mechanics and tinkerers. By the time you guys are 60, you will have seen ALL KINDS of tech-advancements. I got nothing but respect for the younger generation. I knew 15 years ago that youtube was going to be the trade-school of tomorrow. It's my go-to place for ANYTHING I have a problem with. ANYTHING. Doesn't matter if it's a car, a tv remote-control, or an LED mask for acne (which was supposed to work for only one month, but thanks to youtube, has been in use for YEARS now.
You guys have the whole of mankind's knowledge available to you. Am I jealous? Yeah, maybe a little, lol! But then again, why? I get to benefit from all this cool shit too!
Point is, you're here, watching, learning, bettering yourself, and society as a whole in the process. You're gaining this knowledge for free thanks to whoever posted the video.
So thanks for being part of a GREAT generation! Pay no mind to those 'damn milleneeyall' whiners out there. They don't know what they're talking about. You guys are a fuckin AWESOME!
@@beaukneaus Thank you!!
You’re awesome!!
I appreciate you understand the "news" doesn't always give you the facts. I'm not surprised you figured this out just like you diagnose car problems.
"Snafu Mitigation has been performed". A gem. I'm gonna borrow that one!
Good work, Ray! I've been a Mechanic for over 35 years now, an I always maintain that I would rather make a customer than a sale. And like you, sometimes that means doing free work. I could only imagine what the stealership wanted to charge those folks for a whole bunch of unnecessary work!
Have a great day! o7
Dealerships dont do surgical diagnosis or repairs.. They carpet bomb the problem.. Why not its sure to fix the problem and its bigger bucks. Their mission is to rake the customer or manufacturer warranty. Most garages work that way.$$$
I worked in a decent dealership in the 90s. I never hung parts that weren't needed.
In the early 2000s working out of my drive way with no over head I was cutting all the dealerships by half their cost and 25% of everyone else.
No mark up on parts.
I was making a killing and oh yeah some thought they were tough wrenches found it very painful to confront me.
They had no idea I fought for 15 years and had insane speed with my legs to destroy them.
The dealership I worked at in the 1990s witness what I could do..just messing around
But a happy customer is a returning one.
I would use by drb3 to check things for free and often got tipped very well..for people wanting to do it themselves and I would even helped them
@@Docthewrench Good deeds will always come back to you.There is a lot of truth to what goes around comes around..

Good on Petie for asking question. And great to hear you take the time to explain
I learned how to diagnose issue with brakes due to ur last video..I learned more in ur one video than I have my whole life white it comes to what to look for when servicing brakes and calipers. Ur an awesome teacher
We have found that when it comes to calipers we get them out as far as we dare and spray them with silicone spray under the dust covers, then press them in again. After doing that twice they either work or we change the gaskets in the calipers OR swap the calipers, depending on customers hurry and/or economy. Of course thanks for a brilliant video, AGAIN! Hi from Sweden!
Tell Peetah to read up on the Geneva Convention he doesn't really have grasp on what it actually is. DiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiDooooooooooooooDiiiiiiiiiiiiiDooooooo Nice job Rainman. I like the way you stand up for your customers and honor warranty issues. Or just doing the right thing.
Agreed. Hague convention not Geneva...
Listening to the conversations Ray has with his co-workers it’s painfully obvious that his intelligence is on a whole other level than them. I’m in no way am trying to disparage them, but I’m just calling it like I see it.
Sea salt…
@Bryan M yeah, everyone knows just drop like a pound of sea salt in the oil hole and then get the RPMs up to around 8k!! Rofl
I have had those types of conversations with my coworkers so many times. Unfortunately several of them were stoners so their range of topics was a bit limited.
When a group of smart people start these kinds of mental exercises it's awesome.
@@brm7469 You could also see it as him asking questions because hes trying to learn and just doesnt know yet.
Ten years ago he would have been as intelligent as Ray.
Nothing is better after a long day of turning wrenches than having a cold beer and hear Ray do the dool la doo in super fast motion! Great series Ray!
Years ago I took my corolla in for its 30,000 mile service. The first thing the service manager said without seeing the car was 'it's time for an alignment". I said thanks but I've changed my mind, never been back, 250,000 miles later I've never had an alignment and never had an issue.
Dedicated employee, dedicated Technician with great skills.
Enjoyed
Hi Ray - Great videos - as always! I enjoy watching when you lovingly pat parts after you’ve reinstalled them, like they’re a family pet. To me it demonstrates just how much you love the work you do. Thanks!
Having owned a 2001 Camry V 6, I really appreciated your work, it took me 2 days to change the cover gaskets and not much longer for them to leak again, there was a bracket bolted somewhere down the back of the manifold that was obviously put there before the body was dropped down over all the clips and stuff. The spark plugs were still original at the 180,000 Klm service, 23 years of working on diesel School Busses and Highway Coaches had not prepared me for the tight places encountered in the more modern vehicles. Ted from Queensland Australia.
Very impressive and excellent patience. Like the way you not only explain what you need to do but show doing it too, regardless of any mistakes you make you don't fudge the video and show us that there is a human at the end of those tools.... Thankyou :)
The fact that you didn't edit any of the stuff out I subscribed you're very honest man and I thank you we need more mechanics like you I also am a mechanic and I do the best for my customers good job it don't get better than what you've done
I enjoy watching these extended part videos.
Keep it up Ray 👍👍
You attitude make this channel very enjoyable… I love learning from you …
Thank you for everything! Excellent integrity! I am a fan! We need more people like you!
The pit trap is actually kinda genius😂. Could end up blocking up a whole lot of tanks.
Until the Russian aircraft blow-up the backhoe that's taking 2 hours to build the useless trap. A stinger missile will do the job in 30 seconds!
The rules only apply to the government who signs it. The average Ray can do what you want.
That is a civil war about a state who left the country. We shouldn't have any military involvement in it.
What if Texas wanted to leave the USA and China showed up with troops and jets to protect them?
The pit trap works only if you value the first tank. Wedge the first one in the pit, then all the others can drive over it.

Absolutely love your videos. I'm learning so much watching you work. Also don't worry so much about the length, I love long form repair videos and hate it when people cut out their mistakes.
Am I the only one that loves when the Shop Phone rings, and he does the "Do do do doo""? just curious..
You took me down memory lane . In 1980 I was buying loads of snap on tools and I still have them .Damn the video of you walking into the tool sales van made me smile . The dealer went to my wedding lol. But not much has changed in 40 years except the airtools are now battery powered, the customers lie, competitors lie ,and dealers still love screwing their customers . Go figure that vicious circle. As for you I have a great amount of respect for you. You should own your own business as soon as you can. And yes Gravity sucks especially when you drop anything between the firewall and the engine. Old cars in the 70's had those big fans. So tools fell down and tools came up ten times faster until you figured out the fan shroud wasn't a tool / parts tray.
Watched both videos. I'm impressed. I have no relationships with my local shops because I'm a former wrench monkey, and I won't pay for things I can do on my own. Hell, I've had problems with people cleaning corrosion off of rims before they install tires! I just wish my kids could have someone like you to trust. Great job!
I love the Petaa discussions. When he referred to seafoam as sea salt I was cracking up. Sorry Pete it was funny and I know what you ment, I would invite you to laugh or pick on me for that as well.
You are the most patient mechanic I have ever seen. I grew up in the business since my father worked for Cummins Diesel for over 40 years. I'm not a mechanic by trade but do fix almost everything on my cars myself. Your problem solving skills and meticulous, endless drive are a pure joy to watch. Oh, and more than that, very educational and informational. You rock Rainman Ray. Keep up the great work for mechanics everywhere!

Hey Ray new subscriber here. Love ur videos because they are coming from an honest down to earth mechanic. I really enjoy all the knowledge of 20yrs experience. Would love to hear more about personal experiences with certain products and parts to keep vehicles lasting longer, like when u explain to Pete to help pass ur knowledge along. Case in point when u explained how to clean stained oil off inside of the engine. Keep up the good vids. 💪
I will say I didn't mind that conversation. I enjoyed the points made. Maybe not everyone agrees that's okay. I enjoy hearing your opinions along with other people's only real way to come up with your own ideas and viewpoints. Whether or not we may agree on something it's nice to hear another point of view or thought process.
We appreciate you entertaining us all the way to the end, Good Job Buddy 💯
Good video, as was part 1. Also despite your misgivings, I quite enjoyed the take on the Ukrainian situation and civilians in a war zone.
The civilized rules of war do not apply to Eastern Europe. Too much old hatred.
Speaking of the Geneva Convention, only countries that signed the Geneva Accords are subject to them. This does NOT give them license to commit war crimes or atrocities.
As the great Malcom Reynolds once said “when someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back”
@@TimothyWelty been in combat and sadly there’s a saying, “Everything is fair in love and war” Been to Ukraine several times as well. This Russia Ukrainian connection goes back many, many years.

@Jam Ram I feel you there. Military Vet here, middle east mid to late 90s.
Bolt Tray: Just a suggestion - when we changed-out old cookie sheets or cake pans they were repurposed as bolt trays.

i loved the war talk. mostly facts and what ifs, and i love "what if's" that are based on some logic and/or facts
Great video. You also have unmatched patience. You're a excellent mechanic. Thoroughly enjoyed both videos. Cheers!
Ray your channel is growing really fast, you got a good schedule and method going, keep it at it man :)
Every interaction I have ever had with Toyota dealerships has involved overselling and overstatement of the situation. Something to do with the service upselling bonus they are party to.
On top of this, a lot of service techs at dealerships are 100% commission. No base pay.
Dealerships are the LAST place I trust.
Love how he takes responsibility for the oil issue
Honestly , showing that you forgot something shows a lot of character. Seriously remembering everything when you work on everything and many times doing multiple cars over multiple days is amazing!
Ray, your videos are awesome and they’ve helped me confidently work on my truck, which has been super helpful in these times when everything is harder to afford. Also, now I can’t stop saying doodoodooo when a phone rings. Thanks
😂😂 I find my self saying, "Gravity" whenever something falls. And when something is not working , "why" in the same tone as ray 😂😂 it's addictive
@@kiekokat3678 also guilty of those exact things
that rear valve cover will likely leak again .. i had the same problem years ago and found out you should replace the valve cover bolt washers they are a gromet that is metal but they are made to put pressure on the valve cover and when they get weak the lack pressure on the valve cover causes it to leak these bolts have a collar on them so you can not just tighten them more to apply more pressure .. just something to think about

Ray, you are a great teacher. Really like as you are doing a task, you are explaining what you are doing. Thanks
for letting us look over your shoulder and getting a intake on what a mechanic faces day to day and the proper
approach to repairing that problem. Thanks...Ray.
I’m a back yard shop and I appreciate the in-depth level you took to keep a customer.
I know time is money for a shop with over heads and staff blah blah, but I would of loved to have seen you wipe off the plastic valve cover, would of taken 30s haha.
Good vid enjoy.
Comment on these two videos. I think if I were doing mechanic work today, I would video the job.
Too many customers question whether or not the work was done, and rightly so. One Ford owner claimed he had had the spark plugs changed every 40,000 miles. Ray never really said, but it looked like the original factory plugs had never been changed.
Hey Ray the physics law that applies when you drop something be it a bolt or socket is called “centers law” everything will wind up under the center of whatever you are working on!
If only that were true. I'm still missing a 8mm socket somewhere in my front frame. Pretty much every vehicle, tractor, dozer, etc instantly turns me into Michael Jordan. I can't miss. If there's a tiny slot or hidden ledge of frame or transmission or dust, whatever nut or socket or little tiny screwdriver that i drop, is all net.
This was a very interesting video. I appreciate your attention to detail even to the point of redoing some sealant to make a mote complete job.
You're an excellent mechanic. I've seen your work through your videos and I've met many people in this field. You deserve congratulations.
Great attitude Ray old fashioned true customer service .I hope you teach all the young blokes training mate. 5 star mechanic for you
You do good work Ray...
I haven't mechanic-icked a lot in a few years, but I want every one of your tools... LOL
I would be cool some time to see a distant view of your tool cart and how you keep your tools to hand when under the hood...

Same here
Thank you for keeping your channel apolitical.
25:43 That was a phantom catch.... The car gods were with you on that catch my friend 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, very impressive Warranty work. You actually did the right thing for the customer though it likely cost you 6 hours shop time plus a few parts. Ya probably could bill em the new slider bolts and they would still be happy campers. Very Well done and Very Professionally addressed with the proper ethics employed. I JUST LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU. Rare indeed in today's Mechanic Rip-Off stories that abound. I honor you sir. Like and subscribed and yes I watched BOTH episodes
A Good man and technician 👍
I wish I had a mechanic like this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray, when I have a sealing surface on a head to clean off, as like what you were doing on the forward cylinder head, I use a razer blade and my small shop vacuum so that I'm sure none of those little pieces of silicone rubber have fallen down into the cylinder head. You don't have to wonder if the oil pickup in the pan is drawing them in. It gives me peace of mind also ----- no second guessing myself. Also I wipe the cylinder head sealing surface and the valve cover sealing surface down with acetone and clean white lint free cloth until I'm no longer picking up any residue. It works extremely well too.
I don't usually make comments about "political" topics. But this one (that "invaded" one of my channels) grabbed my attention! Young buck over here has a fraction of the Geneva Conventions (plural) facts on hand. Ray you are completely within established international law by using a pitfall to disable a tank or other military vehicle. This would not case inhumane harm to an individual. Pitfalls meant for people are considered inhumane under Geneva Conventions because of the high potential for a prolonged/inhumane death (as if there is such thing as a humane death during war)! Maltov cocktails used on people (civilian, law enforcement, military, wounded, or red cross member) is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. The one thing I completely and totally agree with in that whole conversation. I anyone threatened my country, my home, or my loved ones! I would not hesitate breaking any law to keep them safe and free!
On a side note. I love your content and watch it every day. Almost caught up with all past content as well.
*Molotov cocktails
So having re-done several of these Toyota valve cover gaskets myself, i found that you either need to replace the bolts/crush washer on them or add washers to the existing crush washers as apparently they are a 1 time use. Without replacing them/adding washers I haven't had success in getting the new seals to last more than a few months without leaking again. Curious to see if anyone else has had this issue.
I agree, I've seen a TSB on this somewhere. I always chalked it up to bolt stretch, and just started replacing the bolts as SOP.
@@league04 I noticed when Ray was removing the valve cover bolts with that little 1/4" ratchet, and they seemed to be quite loose. I'm sure a 1/4" ratchet has like no foot pounds of torque, and I didn't see any noticeable "reverse click". So I think you're on to something here for sure.
I like the lock washer idea, it does the same thing like a constant tension radiator hose clamp. Rubber will get hard and shrink over time, and greatly reduce the clamping force on the valve cover gasket.
wow i needed to hear all this and was just here randomly man this channel and people in the comments rock, pat yourselves on the back, thanks all.
I've had good luck with oe Toyota gaskets and re-torqueing them after about 3k. Don't have any opinion on adding washers to take up space other than you shouldn't have to. My Taco has almost 200k and no leaks from original valve cover gaskets.
You are the rare class act in car repair. Hats off to you for being so responsive and responsible.
I just want to say hi from Denmark. As a former mechanic i enjoy your videos a lot
I’ve done many of those 1/2 moons on Toyota engines. They used to be rubber type 1/2 moons but later converted to aluminum. A light dap of silicon does the trick. I didn’t see the left bank 1/2 moons resealed. Did I miss that part? Otherwise, excellent job on the valve cover gaskets
My felling is the dealer is despite on trying to make money and ripping off people trying get them to put a lot of parts on there car that they don't needed so that's bad on the Dealer. I have put a lot of brakes on and your 100% right all the brakes needed is cleaning lubricant on the slides an new slide pins. On the oil lick that's cool you are just going to warranty the valve cover gasket and clean off all oil off the engine and round it that way if something else is liking you will be able to see it like if the rake or the power steering is or not liking. This Customer shade be very happy you have all the problems fixed and saved them a lot of money by not just throwing a lots of parts on the car they did not need 👍 you did a great job

My first new car was a 1964 Chevy inline 6. Valve cover gasket took about 10 minutes were slow, less than 5 if you were lucky. Why can't they build cars that way now?
They can but they won't. Part is government involvement and part is that you drove that Chevy too long economically instead of buying a new car. We can't have people screwing up our potential corporate profits like that now can we? Give 'em something they can't keep economically and we'll sell more cars.
I'm not a mechanic, I have little mechanical knowledge, also little interest in mechanical things, yet your videos are very enjoyable!
i love it when you do the phone makes my day thank you
Reeeeeeeee dirty engine cover 😆. Me thinks the oil leak was coming from the part you removed the old (15 years old if I remember what you said) sealant from. Obviously it didn’t get removed the last time. Great work Raymond!
More bad work from rays shop. Ray seemed upset that his shop was bashed. But the work done and lack of pins being replaced and lubed.. and brake parts being cleaned. And the gasket parts never getting replaced seems to not be noticed. The guy that did that stuff was a lazy poor mechanic. Why defend that crap
@@cayman9873 probably but it could have been an honest oversight as well. None of us here are free of little sins from time to time.

I freakin love that you keep the hilarious chipmunk talking during the sped up parts instead of blaring some annoying song.
As someone who worked in newsrooms for over thirty years I am surprised by the
comments at around 4:45. We never took a side in an issue or one side of a story.
If we could not reach an individual or entity we would state that and would follow up
later. News is news. Objective, fair and unbiased. There is one 'network' that does push
an agenda, but to me they are just 'infotainment' and I don't really take them seriously.
Mini rant over. Good video and customer service and I think my Rav4 might have the same
engine. Mine is so smooth and quiet that when I get out of the car and can't lock the
doors I know the engine is still running. Take care.

The problem is journo’s always just get butt-hurt and seem unable to change their POV or perform any self-analyzing. If anyone disagrees with your position, you just mock them and laugh at their “stupidity” for not agreeing with the journo’s OBVIOUSLY learned and intellectually superior understanding. Yeah, that sounds like propaganda to me.
You are surprised because you have had your head in the sand for over thirty years. The news has been lying for a long time. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, FOX, CNN... They all push an agenda. It's just been more apparent in the last fifteen years. I would hardly describe the news as objective, fair and unbiased.
Ray I am here for politics! Lol, I enjoy hearing the views of the average American. Also I enjoy the up and coming Peter asking questions and learning as he does. A hungry technician is rare now days.
I wish I had a good mechanic like you. You do everything you can honestly and saving the customer money. Excellent customer service. I want to work for you.
39:35 these vids are a standard part of my day, if i have free time its your vids or penguinz0. Keep it up,good work
We need honest mechanics like you. Dealerships will up-charge for commission, then lose that customer and hope to find more suckers. You understand that retention is more valuable than one $3,000 job. Nicely done.
On my Camry, the oem Toyota parts diagram show the pin with the rubber sleeve. The rubber sleeve is a one time use part, They tend to swell and not go in without sliding out of the groove. The little pc of rubber needs to be replaced each time the pin is pulled.
I believe the pin with the rubber sleeve is used on the lower rearward pin.. the head of the bolt has a different marking on the head of the pin. So watch which pin goes where.
The conversation here is top notch.
watched it all the way to the end, the entire repair is so relaxing and alluring
I work for Toyota and you start by cleaning all oil leaks first then do your work then spray with tracing powder to insure that leak is coming from your job. as far as brakes I'm in Texas cars from up north we always recommend calipers rotors and lines due to severe rust. You have to remember when you work for a certain brand your customer expects the best . No disrespect for Rainman.he does good work.
