Scotty Kilmer's automotive repair & maintenance advice is good for young
kids (IMHO) but maybe not for wizened old farts like we are (& like he is).

The reason is that his advice is overly simplified (IMHO) such that Scotty
leaves out important detail we old farts know (& I'm sure he knows it too).

Mostly Scotty is in the right direction but he doesn't go into enough
detail
to tell us much we didn't long ago learn way back in the sixties (IMHO).


I agree and if I were to do some of this work I'd look for a detailed
You Tube video.

It is interesting for us old farts how much computers do in cars today.
You need a good computer, an expensive scan tool, to find many problems.

I recall a couple of years ago putting my dwell tac meter and timing
light in the Goodwill bag.
