This lady accomplished more work then I did myself in 2 days lol
Curious, why add several hours worth of work removing the engine, I was dreading doing my 2004 EJ259 because of your video, but realized that all that extra work was not necessary! I simply cleared the air box on the passenger side and the washer fluid reservoir on the driver side to access the bolts…5 lbs of torque doesn't require a lot of room!
Not counting prep time degreasing, this was nothing more than a 1.5/2 hr job beginning to end.
I understand that pulling the engine makes it a better visual but replacing the gaskets while the engine is in the car is probably what most viewers are interested in. If I had the means to pull the engine I wouldn't probably wouldn't need the video. How about doing one with the engine in the car. But a still a very good video. Thanks, still a like just not what I hoped for.
Thank you for another excellent how to video. Refreshing to see a woman mechanic performing this fix. You have a well kept beautiful shop . Thanks again for your help.
