Uncle Tony's response to Direct Connection

Are you serious? It was probably the biggest engine building debacle in YouTube history. I feel sorry for the poor kid involved in that shitshow
Yes im serious
And that's the thing, it's a have to and not a decision. No ones bashing a have to, we are bashing the ones who had a choice but are tightwads or aren't really serious about it in the first place. I've done plenty of re ring motors, lapper heads... point came when I wanted to learn to do it right, getting better over time and to continue learning. Why only be happy simply because it runs?? Fk that. I want great, not "it runs".
So If you wanna chest beat over essentially the equivalent of cave drawings and stone axes.. then by all means, captain caveman.
I started watching Nicks garage ( one of the very best video/shows, my opinion) and I saw were they put that alleged rebuilt 318 on the run stand. Yes the guy (UT) did a poor job rebuilding it and there is no excuse.....If I as a 18 year old kid back in 1970 with limited tools and limited money could do a better or at least cleaner job there should be no excuse for a guy like Tony..... The price of what that young man did have to buy, that alone should dictate being more careful....I just did the heads on my 383, replaced with E street.....The stuff I needed in addition to the heads alone was costly. I dropped the oil and filter replaced with new, thats fifty right there, just like that young guy had to do to his engine. The money has to come from somewhere
Im not so much defending UT as I am talking about how things got done way back when and those things weren't necessary wrong.
I also worked in an essential industry my entire working career were the job had to get done now, done correctly, done professionally and safely. So when you are the top of your game/trade there should be no excuses, im sure we agree
Maybe I just filter more of these UT videos, im not into commenting on his addiction to tobacco or his finances, lack of, his "shop". whatever.
Bottom line is its entertainment in the late evening for car guys.
