Are we back?

I have realized that I haven't posted anything in nearly half a year; which is quite a long time for a "break". For our current followers and friends, assuming you haven't left due to the dead silence on our end, I wanted to say thank you for checking up on us via private messages and YouTube comments. We were not seeking any attention while we were gone, but it was nice to know that people still think about us. As you can see above, I am still passionate about film making and video editing; hopefully, you'll appreciate the constant growth and effort put into the edits. I do apologize for not being as active on Machine Zealots as I used to be. As some of you know, we do this as a hobby, but mostly for the viewers. Both Puyang and I have jobs, and Machine Zealots doesn't make any money to sustain our daily lives. I wish we could just focus on Machine Zealots for a living, but I still have yet to find a way to do that. Again, we thank our Sponsor and friends who support us in various ways. (You know who you are, and what you have done to help!)
I am also personally moving into a different part of my life, so Machine Zealots will not be working the same way as before. We will no longer upload an episode every two weeks. We will continue to make videos and post them, but without a set schedule. We want to keep Machine Zealots as a fun hobby, instead of making it into a chore. I hope you guys can understand.

In other news, I am surprised at the growth of Machine Zealots subscribers. It's not crazy growth, but we are at 1500 subs with half a year of inactivity! Awesome.
Both Puyang and I have a couple of sponsored episodes to make during this summer; we got most of our tools ready for the videos too. I am not sure if we are going to force eighteen episode seasons anymore. It's still all up in the air, but perhaps ten episodes per season, or we remain with eighteen episode seasons, but with no deadline; which means we call a season finale at the end of eighteen episodes, regardless of what month we are in. I will update you guys on that later.
In the meantime, take a look at the goodies we have prepared for the installation episodes, and we will update you guys later.

Right tools for the right job

If you are doing your own work on your car, you'll need some proper tool kits. I have personally never owned my own set of tools, but the Camaro sparked the need for some.

Enter, the torque wrench! The main reason why I bought this wrench was for the torque settings on this: 15-80 ft-lb. Most hardware shops I've visited only sell wrenches of higher torque ranges. Ranges around 20-200 ft-lb. Those torque wrenches would be excellent for swapping wheels, but not for the reason why I needed at the time.

I was about to do my first, EVER, oil change. Not just the first for the Camaro, but the first for any car. I had to make sure I did it right, so I bought all the tools I needed to do so. Now I won't be going into details about the oil change itself, because I'm up for another oil change in a week or two. Which at that time, I'll be taking pictures, or videos, haven't decided yet, on how to do you own V6 oil change =D

But back to the torque wrench. I think it was neccessary for me to review this product. If you need a torque wrench with low range torque settings; I highly recommend this one! It actually comes in a protective plastic orange case, even though the picture doesn't show it. It is a 3/8" drive, so make sure you have a step-up if you are using 1/2" drive sockets. More on the wrench when I do the oil change.
