Why do old mechanics take tightening spark plugs so lightly. I have always been afraid to mess with spark plugs because they are easy to overtighten and if they are not tight enough then they can blow out. How do you know when it is just enough? Also my dad always used anti seize on them if the car has aluminum heads. Do you do this too scotty?

I'm not a mechanic, but my dad is. I have some experience with cars, so when my wife's grandparents asked me to go check out a truck, I ended up smelling coolant as soon as the hood was opened. I also seen the coolant low, but both her grandfather and cousin said it was probably nothing. After driving around, they made up their minds and decided to buy the truck. I stayed back, popped the hood and looked all around. Found that the radiator was busted. The coolant looked new so I assumed it leaked a lot. Despite my warning, they bought the truck, and a few months later, it turns out the engine was warped before they bought it.

What solved the problem was the computer scan. It showed that my camshaft position sensor was busted.

I found that with my previous car, the reason it didn't start very well was because it was made in Italy and I wanted to start it in -30 C. Turns out, the main problem was battery running out over the night, but I doubt the car would've liked being run so cold. So I built a shed for it. In the shed, I installed an electric heater.

I have a 1995 Saturn wagon 124,000 miles, burns oil, shifts into 2nd, 3rd hard, 26 average mpg, paid 1800$ late 2021 with 116,000 miles and the transmission was smooth as ice when I test drove it, 3 weeks later it’s shaking the floorboard, I’m happy it’s lasted this long and hoping to make it till 2024

@noahfrye4583 11 місяців тому
Scotty always says to always put in the oil rated for ur vehicle
@peterharrell7305 11 місяців тому
No, there are small cavities that the oil travels thru to increase pressure in specific areas, like the crank and cam bearings. Flow rates can decrease to catastrophic levels of the oil is too thick. If the oil is too thin, the pump won't be able to move enough of the fluid because the tolerances in the pump are designed for a specific viscosity range. Basically, oil that is too thick will mimic the properties of a very dirty oil, which is what caused the damage in the first place.

Super-Clever idea to resolve these annoying dead battery-powered TPMSs that are always in Scotty's videos: 1. Put a bracket with a permanent magnet somewhere on the wheel struts: Put a coil inside the TPMS. Every time the wheel passes the magnet, it charges up a few micro-amps. 2. Might be able to do the same thing with some kind of "gryoscopic" or motion-based component inside the TPMS alone... like Rumble Packs inside game controllers, only in reverse.

When I worked as an engineer with a couple of auto companies, finding and solving common warranty problems, I saw Chinese knock-off radiators palmed off as genuine radiators (obviously, replaced from front end crashes, and the panel beaters wanted to keep the cost down). To an untrained eye, they looked like the real deal, even having the correct supplier's name moulded into the header tanks, but were they good enough? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! They failed very quickly, and often the transmission oil coolers would crack, destroying the transmission and filling the engine full of ATF. They were an absolute mess! When the inlet spout broke off my radiator, I replaced the radiator with a genuine one. I had seen too many cheap and nasty knock-offs to risk buying cheap and nasty rubbish radiators!
