    This episode started as two but I wasn't happy with the pace so a bunch got cut out and re-edited, which is why it took an extra week to come out. This should more or less be the template for the next few episodes, there is a lot of back and fourth and test fitting that is difficult to get through without being repetitive, but the process is important too. I think there are four episodes until the engine gets to go into the car, but there is still a ton after that before we get to hear it run. I feel a little in over my head with this video series, but we'll get through it. Thanks for sticking around, it really means a lot!

    Fuzzy dice projects I really enjoy your detailed approach to documenting the builds that you are doing. Your videos are far more interesting than the television format of introducing a new build and 5 minutes later it's done and doing burnouts and other antics. Keep up the good work and don't change a thing.

      Me too! I was cruising YT back when I was getting ready to rebuild my first engine. Even though others might've gone deeper into the build, especially when I started to get discouraged because of all the specialty tools and huge workshops, FDP made it feel like it was possible, even in my garage. I did end up buying a few tools for it, but not many, and now my big SUV runs like a champ.

      @Jacob Osgood I'm a novice when it comes to transmissions, but for me if I ever had to rebuild myself the thing that scares me most is the quality of the rebuild kits. There are some "high quality" kits that are total junk.

    There are very few channels I watch every minute of a video, yours is one of them. I been doing garage mechanic stuff for 30 years and I still learn new things in your videos. BTW, you need a lathe. Instead of a hole saw, Dremel bits and drill bits you could have put that spacer in a chuck and just honed out the inside :)

    You may want to keep a careful eye on your water pump bolt torque in the future. The way the factory power steering pump mounting works doesn't apply load directly to the water pump mounting bolts. You've created a slip plane between those bolt heads and the bracket that the power steering pump is going to be constantly cycling against and _might_ become a bolt-loosening machine.
    It _might_ also work just fine. 🤷‍♂😆
