Jay just casually assembling an engine while explaining why and answering our questions is exactly why you are such a legend and an inspiration

[derrickpoorman]

If Jay did an hour long video everyday, I'd watch every minute

[scotthodges]

I’m only half way through and I’ve already learned so much. I’ve always enjoyed all your videos over the years, Jay. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[CameronWilliams]

man this is just ASMR. I don't even have a Supra or a 2J, I just like listening to Jay teach me life lessons

[marcushammond]

I really appreciate the honesty on prior experiences with products and companies that might not have aligned with what you are doing. Keep that forwardness and honesty alive with this new company. You have earned my business.

[bradpittman]

Just catching up on things. Life and what not. Hey man, I dunno what’s up, I don’t want to know, but I do want to say thank you for the years of knowledge transfer and transparency and passion. It’s not for nothing. You have effected me. For the betterment. To all the mechanical OCD people you know I am right. Next rung. Godspeed Jay and fam.

[bradappel]

I love all strong engines. 2jz guys are getting fire info For Free! I understand alot crosses over to different engine but man jays knowledge is valuable. And now he can really be himself. Love the channel.

[mrchet]

As always, appreciate the content Jay! You’re a legend in the engine building world.

I started my current project back in 2021, still buying parts and in the process to refresh all bearings, gaskets and seals on my 2j gte vvti. from 2021 i never missed a video on the real st channel and probably watched everything going back a few years. It was weird not to see you on there. So Thank you for this channel and for taking your time to continue sharing your knowledge with us. I cant even count the number of times i watched and rewatched some of your videos to fully understand and absorb the knowledge.

[vuthieu]

Heck yeah didn't realize Jay made his own channel 😅 thank you buddy for making this channel love your work

[Aladinscave]

I think if you going to make 1000hp or more get the Dart block you will save money in the long run and have more fun like you said 🏁

[SupraMane]

2jz is the best engine EVER MADE! Iam glad your actually happy now Jay...

[ChrisLeeK]

Best of luck with the new channel Jay, love watching your videos for years now! Wealth of knowledge my man, much love from ireland!

[gasparsperformance]

Jays tech tips on the next level. I dig it.

[VampireHunter]

I found ya Mr Jay ! Your about to change my valve cover gasket on my Ford focus pal

[SPTuning]

That’s cool that it’s an 84mm stroke. Nice

[dispatchcustomerservice-gb]

Jay makes assembling an engine like riding a bike! 🚴🏿

[JDMKIV]

The deck is a little tall, the cylinders are a little small - Jay Meagher the poet.

[raj-utm]

Love that a blue collar guy that saved up can live the dream. 2J, ZL1, Hemi. Knowing that you achieve a dream, makes it easier to keep working. Saving up and collecting parts sucks when that one critical component is non existant.

[VampireHunter]

I aint never Torqued a fastner before ... Yo go Mr Jay 👏
