    Video Transcript

    "OK, in this segment we're going to cover a visual inspection and a recheck of everything. Before we start putting things back together, we want to look over everything that we've done, everywhere we've worked, make sure there's no tools left in here. Check everything we've done, make sure that everything is tight and in its proper place. And also look around the area you've been working. As you're bending over and trying to get positioned and moving your body around, you could've knocked a vacuum house off or done something else, disconnected something else in the system. So, before you start putting it back together and covering potential problems, you want to do a good thorough visual inspection, and make sure that everything is OK. So, that's what I'll do at this time, and I'll just kind of randomly do a systematic wave going down one side and coming back the other, and double checking everything. I don't see any foreign objects in there. I've located all the tools I'm working with. I know what I had with me, I know they're set aside and not in the engine compartment. I'm going to look over to the back half of the intake, check the vacuum hoses, various connections. Everything seems to still be in place. I'm checking from the other side so I get both angles. And it might be advantageous to you to have a light at this point, it allows you to see down in. But I don't see where we've caused any other problems in this repair, so that should conclude our visual inspection. Please watch our next segment and we'll cover installing the valve cover."
