  4. Better than a dipstick tube removal!!😂😂😅

  6. ​ @frankd.3985  "All 4 deactivate." Does the engine restart on its own?

  11. I have a friend whose lawnmower died mid-cut. He brought it to me. I checked for spark by pulling the spark plug. Didn't see any. Put in a coil. Still no spark. It was a bad plug!

  15. Knew a guy who was driving a mid 70s bigger car with a V8. He heard one rod go. Does he pull over?? NOPE! Pedal to the metal! 4 rods in all before it costed to a stop! LoL 😅😆

  17. Talked to a bulk fuel delivery guy. He would throw a bag of red die into the tank in "normal" fuel.

  18. Interesting open design after the bell housing is removed!!

  19. People get excited when the oil is a bit overfilled on the dipstick. In reality, how much extra oil is required for the oil level to teach the crankshaft and start foaming? 🤔

  20.  @pocketpc_  totally agree!!

  21. Pay no attention to the car in my profile picture. 1958 Plymouth Suburban. There may or may not be videos of it on my channel.. 😜

  22. Do you have a community page that we can post comments and pictures?

  23. Doesn't look like oil starvation. Wouldn't the bearings be toast? What caused the wrist pins to lock up?

  24. A friend was attempting to make his wife more aware of vehicle maintenance. He bought her a '92 high miles Mazda Protegee. Something she could drive, neglecte, and blowup! Turns out, it didn't use much oil, and the cooling system was way over built. It was like the Energize Bunny! Kept going and going! I saw it sitting in his driveway. Asked him about it. He gave it to me and told me the story I mentioned above. I lifted the hood. The only thing wrong was it needed an alternator belt. I told him that, but he was tired of his "lesson" not working! 😂 I drove it for several years after that.

  25. Now we know what factory oil looks like! GASP!

  26. How old of a car do you like? How about a 1958 Plymouth Suburban? You might enjoy following along as I get it back to daily driver condition. History of the car back to 1968 told in the video. https://youtu.be/9jJxV_qSNmg

  27. My grandpa ran water mixed with alcohol as antifreeze. He said it wouldn't eat the bearings if the head gasket started leaking.

  32. Purchased a 2013 Equinox when we flew to Vegas. Drove it back to MN. I totally understand the rust free you're taking about! I had to remove the front left wheel bearing. Remove the bolts, remove the bearing. Without a hammer mind you! It's got 178,000+ miles on it. I expected to have to add oil on our drive to MN. Nope! The 2.4 is doing well on oil usage.

  34. Interesting you mentioned the old polly! My late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban has the 318 poly. I'm working on getting it back to daily driver condition. Perhaps you might enjoy subscribing to follow the progress? https://youtu.be/u8ULwSid-PA

  36. Just checked out your channel! I needed to hear about your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ! That was powerful! I see you've just started your channel. You two are a natural at this video stuf!! I'm excited to see where your channel takes you! Having Ray's and Eric's channels linking to yours, this should give you a boost for your viewing hours! You might be able to become full time YouTube! I'm absolutely thrilled that you'll be getting your van back in 110% condition! I subscribed to your channel and wrote a book for you there too. I've also took a donated vehicle, fixed it, and gave it away. It's a great feeling! Blessings!

  38. 1967, 283 Chevy small block, was my first engine rebuild experience! An engine that never should have been rebuilt! Cylinders worn with a heavy ridge! This one you tore down looked "perfect" 😉 compared to that one! Thanks for the video! Keep on keeping on!

  43. YouTuber Mustie1 uses bar and chain oil for chainsaws mixed with a solvent. Something that'll allow the oil to get into small areas, solvent evaporates, leaving the oil. Then he intentionally drives on a dirt road to cover the oil in a coat of dirt. He's repaired his Toyota trucks frame and then treated it. Check him out.

  44. Are the low tension rings the reason for higher oil consumption and people are running out of oil before the recommended change interval?
