For 20 years, I excelled as a Master Technician for Ferrari and BMW, earning the title of "Best Ferrari Technician in the World" in 2019. I will bring the same passion to the channel. Dive into my meticulous, in-depth projects, from complete restorations of classics like the BMW E28 M5, my son's '72 Chevelle Malibu, and our '79 Centurion jet boat. You'll see performance engine building, fabrication, rust repair, complex diagnostics, even bodywork and painting. I also plan to delve into the unique service needs of my favorite Ferrari’s, sharing interesting technical details along the way.
Join me, Roman, and Charles, the resident shop dogs, as I document and share my expertise, enthusiasm, and OCD on every project I undertake.

Why Your BRAKE Master Cylinder Randomly FAILED After BLEEDING Your Brakes
If you have been working on cars long enough, chances are high that you have been in this situation: You just repaired a brake caliper, line, or wheel cylinder. All of your work is wrapped up. Now the last thing you need to do is perform the brake bleed. During the process of the brake bleed you feel something strange with the brake pedal in the master cylinder. Now you suddenly lose brake pressure and flow from the master cylinder.
So you find that the brake master cylinder failed. But WHY? It was working perfectly fine before the repairs, why did it suddenly fail?
Recently I had the brake master cylinder fail on my son's 1972 Barn Find Chevelle. Once I had the master out, and apart I took a few minutes to run through the cause of the failure.

About AutoTechNick:
Growing up in rural Oregon, I was always around Hot Rods & Race Cars. I imagine my early exposure to this culture ignited a spark of interest in cars, which remains my passion.
🎓 I am a proud Alumni of Wyoming Technical Institute @WyoTechAutoMechanicSchool where I studied Automotive Technology, Performance Engine Building & Street Rod Fabrication. In addition to "WyoTech," I graduated from the BMW Service Technician Education Program, more commonly known as BMW S.T.E.P.
🏎️ I spent nearly ten years working in various BMW dealerships as a Master Technician. After a move back home to the PNW, I found myself no longer servicing German-made machines but now working with Italians. I spent nearly another ten years as a Ferrari Master Technician & Shop Foreman at a local Ferrari dealership.
🏆 Ferrari selected me as one of 12 technicians worldwide to compete in the "Ferrari Testa Rossa Awards" for four years consecutively. Finishing in 3rd place in 2016, & in 2019 I was able to place in 1st, winning the competition & earning the title of the "Top Ferrari Technician in the World!"
🚀 As my time with Ferrari came to an end, a new career path awaited me…. Aerospace. I am currently working at Blue Origin, helping to build & develop the BE-3PM and BE-3U rocket engines.
With my new career path, I needed an outlet for my automotive passion, thus the reason for this channel…

Hidden Control Cable Install ~ Final Jet Boat Rigging
Переглядів 2,4 тис.14 днів тому
The jet boat build is nearing the finish line as we wrap up the mock-up and rigging. In my last video, we completed all the plumbing, so now it's time to tackle the final rigging tasks. Today, we're focusing on the control systems: installing new steering cables, rack, and helm, and locating and mounting the throttle pedal. We'll also be fitting new reverse and throttle cables. Once that's all ...

In this video, I dive deep into the restoration of a 1988 BMW E28 M5, focusing on the complex Euro bumper conversion. While the front Euro bumper swap was straightforward, the rear conversion presented significant challenges. Upon arrival at my shop, this classic BMW M5 showed signs of rust, particularly around the rear bumper area. After removing the North American spec bumper, the extent of t...

In today's video, we’re taking a big step forward in the restoration of Trevor’s barn find Chevelle, a classic muscle car that has been abandoned for nearly 25 years. Up to now, our focus has been purely mechanical-getting the engine running, replacing the entire fuel system, and even rebuilding the carburetor. After dealing with a brake failure, we rebuilt the master cylinder and installed new...

As the “rigging” phase of my jet boat restoration winds down, I knew I had a few challenges to tackle while finishing the plumbing for the water and fuel systems. Additionally, I needed to figure out how to locate and mount my bilge pumps effectively. Yes, sometimes even I question my own sanity. The amount of thought, effort, and work I put into the plumbing and routing of my fuel and water sy...
The BARN Find CHEVELLE Brakes Were a DISASTER
Переглядів 491Місяць тому
Years of abandonment, neglect, and exposure to the elements had left the entire brake system of our Barn Find 1972 Chevelle in complete disarray. Upon rescuing the car, we initially had zero pedal pressure and effectively no brakes. Once we revived the engine after its 25-year hibernation, addressing the brakes became our next priority so we could take the car for its first drive. I used this o...
E28 M5 Front EURO Bumper Conversion / BMW swap
Переглядів 313Місяць тому
It's safe to say that most E28 enthusiasts agree the European spec bumpers are vastly superior to the unsightly 5mph crash bumpers North America had to endure. The US spec bumpers don’t match the car's body lines and were clearly an afterthought. In contrast, the Euro-spec bumpers dramatically enhance the car's aesthetics. That’s why, when we began restoring this BMW E28 M5, we prioritized proc...

I am reveling in this phase of the restoration and rebuild of my '79 Centurion more than any other. With the big block Chevy now powering this jet boat, I’ve plunged into the task of rigging it up. This is where I truly get to unleash my creative freedom-or perhaps it’s my OCD, or even my anal retentiveness? Who can say? The problem-solving aspect of these fitment challenges is something I genu...
