I don't consider YouTube a diagnostic aid. Not sure what this utube is that you speak of. Being able to google something doesn't make one a mechanic. Or a statistician, for that matter.

There, their, and they're are all different words. It is difficult to follow your posts.

But if you go back to the mechanical fundamentals, I suggest that understanding the failure mode and resolving that is more productive. I agree with restoring to factory design and condition. I don't agree that will resolve his problems forever, as you stated it would, unless he modifies his driving pattern, or alternatively, includes regular CCV servicing in his PM program.
