“Just a mechanic” about the guy that hands down has the best engine building videos on YouTube with all the tips and tricks very thoughtfully explained every step of the way. Jay is the best.

I came from AdamLZ video of you doing the tear down of his 3.4 so I have a feeling this is his motor. Love this style video, its very informative and pleasure to watch some one do something they love with a ton of care about how this motor is built.

This man is the best engine builder around . Never leaves anything out . This is why I want Jay to build mine

[TurbineResearch]

Thank you for the detailed explanations. The attention to detail is what makes the difference 🙌

Tips and tricks? Here i am a mechanic that will never ever assemble a build like this and simply enjoying the video... Jay you are a legend sir! Love all the videos. 💪💪💪

[miquelanesto]

Took me a few sittings to look at but worth every second, no punchlines no riddles, pure information and knowhow.

Now this is a master class. The things I would do to have an engine built by Jay. What a legend.

It’s a travesty that you only have 6k subscribers. Top notch ability to explain what your doing in your vids. 👍

Have learned so much from you over the years. Thanks for sharing!!

35:30 I was taught that the main concern is to remain consistent with the same lube that was used to torque the fasteners when it was assembled for machining…because changes in viscosity change the shear and torque on the fastener which change clamping load…

this channel deserves more love, anyways keep the good work Sir
