  • Learn how to replace an intake manifold and intake manifold gaskets in your car or truck. I am upgrading my intake manifold from a non PI intake to a PI performance intake which will hopefully add some Horsepower and Torque! I also show you how to install a water pump, and how to tap the intake port for a coolant temperature sensor.

    I really admire the work you put in all the videos. I check for your new videos almost daily and always wonder what takes you so long. Everytime I see the new video I'm like "okay, this was worth waiting". The work you have to put in repairing the car and in addition to that, the work you have to put in moving and placing the camera so every bolt you touch is visible for the viewer and finally editing the video the way you do it (every transition, every splitscreen, all the bolts to mark and these things you do with graphs) must take hours and hours. I really appreciate it and hope that you'll keep doing such a great videos. Even though I don't even have a car, I always enjoy your videos, so one day I buy myself a car, i can do it at home just because of you. Thank you!

After seeing your videos, I slowly started learning and trying to fix my 14-year old car, a 2008 Toyota Prius 2nd gen. It had a lot of trouble as I had to learn about MAF sensor cleaning, throttle body cleaning, air filter & cabin filter changing, finding performance oils & oil filters, spark plugs, PCV valves and transmission fluids, but your videos are very helpful man. Thanks!

About after a year, the heater hose nipple cracked off on my intake manifold. Besides all of the retro-fitting (because my car has the PI heads already) I followed it step by step and got it done--saved SO much money! Excited to get back on the road. Thanks Chris!

      @danielrouw2593 5 년 전 +2

      The GMC intakes are also notorious for intake manifolds leaking. The gaskets and the manifold itself would melt around the egr, usually between 60 and 100k. Suddenly you get a gusher right into your ports and then hydrolock. And then you have the leaking valve cover gaskets resulting in oil on the exhaust and then fireballs. Official recall fix is more tin foil...
