In this video, I break down how to perform a Relative Compression Test using an oscilloscope. This fast, non-invasive diagnostic method lets you check engine health without removing spark plugs. You’ll learn how to set up the test, connect a current clamp, record the...
Secondary ignition diagnostics are often overlooked in modern vehicles due to coil-on-plug systems—but the waveform still tells a powerful story. In this video, secondary ignition waveforms are captured and analyzed using an oscilloscope to reveal what is actually...
Learn practical lab-scope workflows you can use today. We reinforce the basics with real-world tests: checking primary ignition current with a low-amp probe, verifying an entire bank of coils via the common power feed, reading fuel-pump current through a fuse-loop...
Everyone’s talking about how bad the automotive industry is right now — low pay, burnout, lack of respect, and technicians leaving the trade. But that’s only half the story. In this video, I talk about what’s really going on in the automotive world — and why it’s not...
Automotive Lab Scope Basics | Understanding the uScope In this video, we walk through the fundamentals of using a lab scope (automotive oscilloscope) — what it does, how it works, and why it’s one of the most powerful diagnostic tools you can own. Using a signal...
Today we’re rebuilding the rear brake calipers on a DeLorean — a job that solves common issues such as dragging brakes, uneven pad wear, sticking pistons, and handbrake imbalance.
The DeLorean’s rear calipers have some unique design quirks, including the integrated parking brake mechanism, which makes a proper rebuild especially important. In this video, I walk through the entire process clearly and methodically.
What You’ll Learn in This Video
• How to diagnose a sticking or dragging rear DeLorean brake caliper
• Safe removal of the rear caliper assembly
• Disassembly of pistons, seals, boots, and parking-brake hardware
• Cleaning and inspection steps to prevent future binding or corrosion
• How to correctly install new internal seals and dust boots
• Rebuilding the integrated parking brake adjuster
• Proper lubrication points and common mistakes to avoid
• Reassembly techniques that ensure smooth operation
• Bleeding the system and verifying brake balance
• Checking parking brake travel and function after the rebuild
This rebuild restores proper stopping power, prevents premature pad wear, and helps keep these iconic cars safely on the road.
