1. Nice work! This is one of those " I love my job, that's why I do it twice" possibilities. The rear valve cover on the Highlander V6 is very similar in frustration, I got to '" love my job" a couple months ago. With regard to accents, I don't detect any particular one with you Ray, you sound like the people here in Illinois to me. I grew up in Indianapolis and used to travel to Grand Rapids, Mi. for a couple of years on business and one time they asked me where I grew up and I told them, Indy, they replied; " we knew you were from the south!" Yeah, about 4-5 hours south of Grand Rapids!

2. Im in the process of replacing the valve cover gaskets. Removing the throttle body helps alot with the access to the hoses under it. I got the drivers side done now onto the passenger side!!!!

3. Your accent is fine Ray. I’m in Australia and you sound perfect to me; I can understand everything you say.

4. Hey Ray I’m a back yard mechanic and I usually take several pictures with my phone before I do any job so that it would be easier to put things back in their proper spots

5. Hey Ray I’m assuming that the more complicated these engineers make these cars,the more money they can make

6. I love the way described Nissan…..Chrysler of Japan.. very true 👍🏽😂😂😂😂😂

7. Hey Ray…great video…great job on the antenna…man you have to have a lot of patience doing what you’re doing 😮👍🏽

8. On difficult screws down below I usually put some electrical tape a couple turns on the screw head and then stick it into the socket and that way I can hold it face down without the screw falling out of the socket and get it into the hole first to start it with. After I tighten it down I reach down there with a pair of long nose pliers to pull the tape off the head of the screw.

9. Why not put some gasket sealant on the valve cover gasket placing the gasket into the valve cover and then let it set and harden and hold the gasket in for you? After all the next person is probably going to replace the intake manifold altogether. I would have used Indian head copper gasket sealant on one side of it to hold it into the valve cover gasket in place a couple minutes and let it harden and then try to install the valve cover.

10. The sound of a lift operating is soothing,helps me get sleepy and ready for beddy bye.

11. Now I know what car i dont want to own😅

12. I have a 2007 fx35. My favorite car of all time, very very convient car to own. Semi quick, lots of space, and a beautiful vq35de.
    These are basically a 350z as a suv. Only in auto. I got mine at 100k and now have 160k. Engine is easy to maintain but like any vq rear mains and front main leak, front timing cover leaks eventually too. Chassis wise great car, no electrical issues at all.
    Vqs like to leak and in some cases burn oil. Mine doenst burn oil. Make sure pcv is regularly replaced and a oil catch can will do wonders.
    The transmission is auto.
    Its fine, if it functions good put a trans go shift kit. Make the trans last longer. The valve bodies are weak and like to leak in higher mileage. Im replacing mine now which already had the shift kit for 40k miles prolonging the need to swap the vb. I regular see these at 180k+ to 230ish+ miles. Suspension gives up at about 100k which i put coilovers. Dash can bubble but mine with 160k hasnt not. Its perfect with rare orange interior. It does plumet the mpg. Gets 20-21 highway 17.8 combined. Which is the only reason im getting rid of it.

13. I'm in New Zealand but you sound like Allan Alda to me-Where's he from?

14. Spiteful motivation

15. What a headache job

16. That intake sucks!

17. 5:35 – 6:57 – 17:50 – 20:49 – 23:38

18. Ray I feel you man. Wiring harnesses can be the worst sometimes. An easier job takes way longer due to those darn harnesses

19. The car has dashboard herpes lol

20. My husband was watching you fuss with a clamp and swollen hose he suggests to use o-ring lube

21. Midwestern accent for sure Ray.

22. That dashboard gives me the creeps!!!!

23. All the dash do that on the fx35 unfortunately

24. Lol, when you said 3 hour then start struggling with the harness is where it take five to six hours if not longer. I did it to my car as a lube tech for the first time ever in a long time and ran into many issues redoing it 9 times with rewiringcam sensor wire and heli coiling the one bolt on the cover under the black plastic harness guild on the passenger side. Then that harness extender caused me problems cuz i couldn't figure which coil it belonged to. Now for the tenth time getting it right it has to come apart for potential timing issues if not the vvt solenoid filter may be clogged.

25. Murphy was an optimist

26. I know exactly what accent you have. You have an American accent and that’s all that matters! Who cares what anyone else thinks.

27. I'm going to say the damage to the dash is from being parked in the desert on a very hot day with the Sun also reflecting off of a window that was concave magnifying the sunlight and cooking the dash

28. Working on my car today and I said "click" with every tightened fastener.

29. How much did you charge your customer for this job?

30. What's a safe means to wash away leaked engine oil and trans fluid?

31. Job well done 💯
