I rented the BoxWrench video, should be here within a week. I'll let y'all know how it is. I could download all the videos from YouTube (gotta love Firefox extensions!) but I decided the DVD will be much more useful.

The coupon "MODERNWOOD" when checking out gets $2 off your rental.

US Customs allows us to bring back one pirated copy per movie for as many movies as we want so I suppose copyright laws don't apply here in Iraq. 8-)

Wouldn't that be a W16?

The Ferrari clip is fairly epic. :D

Yeah, find a W.

Viewing the clip again I noticed they used a MLS gasket instead of something like copper or more exotic.

I got the Boxwrench Basic Engine Building DVD and it's freakin' sweet! I've watched quite a bit of it so far and the production quality and wealth of knowledge shared is exceptional. This makes me feel a lot better about my first engine removal and tear down. It'll prove extremely valuable when I have a garage PC set up to watch video and lookup information when needed.

From the short Boxwrench videos I have seen on YouTube the DVD should be pretty good and informative.
