Have you ever wondered what happens when you drop your engine block off at a machine shop? In this episode, Chris meets up with Britt Bostick, the owner of NuTech Engine Systems, to find out exactly what happens. We couldn't film this episode in our own studio because of all the specialized precision equipment that is needed, so we went on location to show you how it's done by a professional.

This episode also has our regular segments, Partz and Letterz. In "Partz", Chris talks about a new tool from Craftsman to help you with those long bolts, introduces an innovative new vehicle programmer/tuner from SCT that works via Bluetooth with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, and he shows you a cool retro body accent piece for your Mustang from 3dCarbon!

In this episode, Chris Duke from Motorz TV shows you how to tear down a junk yard small block Chevy 350 engine to prepare it for rebuild. The engine was purchased online for less than $100. They are a good choice because they're common, cheap, and easy to work on. Parts and information are readily available. The only way to know if an engine block is usable is to break it down and take a closer look at the block itself. This episode explains how to tear down an engine and what to look for along the way.

In this episode, Chris Duke of Motorz TV explains how to replace all of the major fluids in your vehicle. Chris begins by summarizing the differences in automotive fluids by color and viscosity. For example, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is red and has a thin consistency. Gear oil has a thicker viscosity than motor oil, which has a caramel color. Chris also discusses the three major types of brake fluid - DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5 - and notes that while antifreeze comes in a range of colors, it has a viscosity similar to a glass of wine.

But that's not where this episode ends. Watch the video to learn how to change all of the fluids in your vehicle, including the motor oil, gear oil, transmission fluid (and the pan), and refrigerant.

In this episode, Chris Duke of Motorz TV shows you how to install a nitrous oxide kit on a 2008 Ford Mustang GT (S197). This wet kit from Nitrous Express includes everything you'll need under the hood, including the switches, bottle, bottle heater, and even a remote bottle opener. Chris also explains what nitrous oxide is and how to handle it safely. As one Motorz TV viewer explains in the comments for this video, "There are a lot of videos about how to do it (install a nitrous oxide kit) on other cars, but few on the S197. And those videos don't go into as much detail as your team does".

Chris also explains how to install light emitting diode (LED) brake lights made by Hella on a 2008 Toyota Tundra and a 2009 Chevy Silverado.
