Title: DIY-RE 13b DVD REVIEW
Post by: RobbieRX-7 on October 13, 2005, 04:52:12 PM
is it any good??...i think it`s very detailed and worth every penny. It shows you every detail about rebuilding the engine and has gave me enough confidence to rebuild my own. It makes me want to rip my engine out and rebuild even though nothing is wrong with it. However i was a bit concerned with the fact that he used vasoline to hold the water seals in place..he did say that if the water seal is left long enough to soak in vasoline, it would expand, but is this how the pro`s do it? I dont know but it just made me think after reading that vasoline attacks certain types of rubber. Apart from that i give it 8.5 out of 10 for the beginner. There is a lot of things that you would miss or get wrong if you did not watch    
the dvd.

things i liked about it

1) Easy to understand
2) Hidden tips and advice
3) Value for money
4) Well laid out and detailed

Things that could of been improved

1) It should of stated the torque wrench settings for the oil pump and sump
2) It would of been ideal if it showed you how to remove and replace the engine
3) It would of been nice to see the engine running after the rebuild.

Overall i suppose nothing is perfect, but this is very close and a good effort imo.

Anybody else got any views about this dvd?  If so then say so on here  ;)
