Hey Scotty, I've worked on my own cars for years, mostly because we can't afford to pay someone unless absolutely necessary, and finding your YouTube channel has been a big help. My two kids each just bought their first cars and I find myself forwarding the links to them on a regular basis. Especially your videos with the top 10 do's or don'ts. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[carbuff]

Scotty, I just want to thank you for all of the videos you make for us. I can't tell you how many times your videos have helped us and how many times I've shared your videos with friends and family members. Thank you so much for everything!

[TheVnissan]

I've been working on my own vehicles for years and am a heavy jet aircraft mechanic but have never actually seen a head gasket test done until now! Thanks for showing me!

[boonstar]

I borrowed a friend's fluid leak tester and it worked pretty good. You're videos really show someone who doesn't know much exactly how it can be done by a diy'er.

Was in class today, and a student brought their car in for a possible blown head gasket. Our instructor brought out this very tool, and it worked like a charm. LUCKILY the guy can drive away knowing that his car doesn’t have a blown head gasket in his 96 Toyota Corolla!! Would love to have one for when my vehicle gives signs of a failing/ failed gasket before it’s too late!!!

Hi Scotty, Back in the day, (1989), we also used a Sun 1125 analyzer to sniff the steam vapor at the radiator neck on cars we were not sure of having a head gasket leak or crack.(we NEVER stuck the probe near the fluid). It worked quite well and we then tried to sell the owner on further testing if needed, using the analyzer test as a free preliminary test. Customers remember being treated fairly. Your videos are the greatest, thanks.

[electronicsNmore]

Those kits are super handy, especially when buying a used vehicle.

[danielg]

Wow, this video is really giving me more knowledge about cars

[boydthree]

This is going to be the best channel for a do it yourself car guy! I hope I still get the test because I think my head back gasket is gone. Even if not thanks Scotty you’re number one in my book kid!

[phillipcastillo]

Morning Scotty always nice to watch your videos

[damiensmith]

Hey Mr. Kilmer I admire your timeless and respect your well known work ethics including sharing knowledge on cars to the world...

[charliecuaron]

Scott, thank you for the work you do to, and for the users of this channel. I have saved myself from purchasing a nightmare using your advice and have also made better decisions buying used cars because of your content. Keep it

[debbiestinnett]

I trust this channel. Scotty has vast knowledge over a number of years. This is my go to, being a woman with no mechanical experience. I trust the older mechanics.

[jegcruz]

Scotty, you are the Greatest Mechanic, in the USA and the whole world. I enjoy watching your videos and learn a lot of stuff from you.

[JonnyDIY]

I never understood how most cars incessantly *ding* if you forget to close the door all the way or buckle your seatbelt, but *doesn't* make any noise when your car starts overheating? 🤔 maybe on brand new cars theyve added this?

[zacdeetz]

Love watching the show have watched for years now and recently became a certified ford technician!

[GregSereda]

I've become a expert car mechanic from watching this channel alone.

[nigal]

Scotty awsome job....I was in the 101st Airborne Div. at Ft. Campbell...Air cav unit ....early 70's...you're a great mechanic...keep it up..

Just did this test today, squeezed the pump constantly for 2 minutes and the fluid remained blue. What a relief! If the coolant mixes with the fluid it’ll turn green so be careful
