    99 out of 100 channels would not of shown the learning curve, or the  lesson that you must check and double check......Also the find on Corey's car was great

    Fair play for showing the mistake on camera.

    Said it before this stuff should be on any apprentices feed, NOBODY is perfect, in fairness Rick was always going to check that and twice after doing it on camera but what a generosity to show the lesson!  Great service you are doing the trade Rick!

    This is why you are so busy RIck. People trust you because you are consistent. It sucks sometimes being a perfectionist and honest if you stuff up. The real bummer is you now know it’s not possible to be doing these engine rebuilds during the day with all those distractions about. I’ve been there Rick and you need to have certain nights as:- ‘I’m not available to anyone except my Mrs nights- With No exceptions’.. <br>People will get used to it.👍

    Being able to do that by hand is going to be a lost art in the very near future, amazing to watch.

    Massive respect to you Ricky for showing the mistake instead of hiding it. That kind of honesty builds real trust. Keep up the great work!

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InGhZUlG4v0&amp;t=1303">21:43</a> &quot;Now I&apos;ve got two trays&quot;, my mind went immediately to a Fawlty Towers scene &quot;on those trays&quot; and Manuel goes &quot;No no no, not on those trays, it&apos;s uno dos tres&quot;. 😂

    Thank you for showing that Ricky. It was clear how much that affected you, As you said when engine building you lock yourself away from all outside distractions. Keeping the content real is what makes a great channel.
