Typical of training videos (and of course, a little old), but everyone should view that one. It includes a good visual walk through of the test procedures that have been outlined many times (including the sticky at the top of the forum).

Sticky!!!!! Well, add the video to the above sticky.

That is a pretty cool video. I'd like to get one of those clear opti's. Pretty slick to see it like that. The trainers "acting" is right out of 50's/60's training vids, but still a very good video on the opti system. Thanks for posting it!

Interesting to know that if the vent system gets clogged a certain way that the engine vacuum can pull the casing to the rotor.

I've downloaded that vid as a keeper. I used a firefox extension called "DownloadHelper" to do it. As it's a FLV format, you will need an FLV player to view it, but still a good thing to have if you own a LT1.

I liked the clear opti hat as well! Seeing them perform the test while they talk about it clears it up for me!

I really appreciate the offer, but this thing is around 160Megs in size. I do have a converter that will do it as well.

Here is a link on youtube for the video....this will allow you to download it in 480p(via downloadhelper).

Wow the dialogue was so bad I expected sex to break out at any moment.

On a more serious note, perfect timing since I have to do opti tests =/
