great video on the engine. but stick to this and not home repair suggestions. Never caulk around the bottom of a toilet. Reason being if the wax ring fails you want the water to come out between the toilet base and floor so you know it has failed. if you caulk around the base the only way you will know it is leaking is when you find stains on the drywall of you ceiling or walls on the floor below. Or in your basement or crawl space. At that point it is to late and you have more damage to repair.
The videos are excellent and you explain in an easy to understand way. I am ready to break down my 1980 T/A 301 & i am definitely going to use all you're good pointers. Don't stop. Thanks again
