I enjoy his videoes,I think he lives just south of Glouscester

Bryanj:
Yup he is near Dursley

K2-K6:
I've watched that one recently, interesting outcome and he's quite "investigative" showing his steps etc throughout. Could be skew on cam grind or some rock in rocker arm, or previous wear to give some taper in follower pad. Probably worthwhile using engineers blue to asses wear pattern in those cases. Some camshaft have the lobe peak deliberately ground "skew" to rotate the follower/bucket in distribution of wear pattern between the component.

Have to fast forward through some waffle, he does say that to himself as criticism some times "stop waffling Jim" but leaves you to zip through them yourself to things you find important.

Recently watched a plug re thread in situ as he approaches it differently to other, more common suggestions. Worthwhile watching that one too if you're contemplating the same.

First was given a little brass brush and feeler gauges to clean and gap spark plugs when my father worked on our family car, dont remember if he actually used the plugs, or it was just to keep me quite and out of his way. Did feel quite grown up with that responsibility though  :)

Then on to tappets as I didn't mess up the plugs.

Taught me to weld at about 12 years old too, all oxy /acetylene then as well.

Doesnt sound like a bad childhood experience ;)
