Here is my take on the video-and I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination. I got nauseous from all of the camera movements as well, but I think both Terry is right and wrong. Overall, I agree with Terry it was a bad video.

Yes he probably should not have posted a video with misleading info (he did have the book on how to time the car) due to a broken Nu-Rex wrench. That is on him, trying to time the car 50 times is on him as well. He should have stopped and reconsidered his steps-I mean 50 times? He probably should have done some more research as there is plenty out there now-including the owners manual.

On the other hand, he just may not know any better. So people should try to instruct him on doing things the right way. If that does not work and he rejects the info that is on him and people should place those comments in the appropriate place. That way people hopefully will read them and steer clear of his video. And yes he should replace the video with correct info (assuming he is still on YT). There are plenty of people who overestimate their abilities with wrenches-even me sometimes

. There are also people who should never touch a wrench-I have seen them as well.

Just my 1.5 cents worth of opinion.
