Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we've got to drill a hole in our brand new engine in order to mount that oil pump pickup. We need to drill a hole it's meant for a different style block, you know it's the Chevy two is an old block so he's made a mark there and this is going to remind you of going to the dentist here. He's going to get everything taped up with paper towels and cover it up because we're drilling a hole in the engine block. We don't want any shavings to get into that thing, I don't think it would do us any good for the warranty if it was full of shavings. So he's got everything taped up really carefully now, you know, trying to keep it all clean. And by golly if he keeps the drill going slow this should work just fine."
