Second, what is the source of your super strength.
Thirdly, I request a tappet adjusting video lmao, because youll have fun and we won't have as many sowing machines on the road

Re: DIY | VIDEO: Changing Engine Oil & Filter
No mention of removing the top cap before you drain the sump? So's not to create a vacuum in the engine while draining & being able to get all the oil out..
And your technique for not getting oil on yourself sucks
How was that nice warm run that went all the way down your arm?
Also, I hope that wasn't 10w-50 I saw going in...
Nice vid none the less, will move it into DIY area

Re: DIY | VIDEO: Changing Engine Oil & Filter
I always screw the filter out a couple of turns let it slowly run down the funnel bracket then unscrew so it doesn't go all over the starter!Bennoz wrote:No mention of removing the top cap before you drain the sump?
