Scotty, has enough money to build a huge garage with a lift, but still works on cars in the driveway, respect!
In his own words "I'm cheap and I'm old". I agree and I'm in my 20s 😂
He's a self admitted Cheapskate. Has stated that countless times over the years. 😁
He does it to show everyone that you don't need all that to fix your car yourself.
He is very cheap...he wants to save enough money to buy a house in heaven🙄
HE'S TOO CHEAP TO BUY A LIFT.
This was my car he fixed in the video. Runs like a champ now. Glad he lives much closer now. Thank you again Scotty!
nice car bro, should run forever with scotty is your mechanic!!!
I hope he cleaned the fender! LOL. Also, you should get one of the kits to remove the haze on the headlight covers. They're pretty cheap and they work well.
@@redpine8665thanks, ps:: I have used MEGUIERS , TWOCE ON MY 2007, CANYON HEADLAMPS, with some success.. Need refinished again,** I heard “” MOTHERS ALUMINUM POLISH “, does GOOD FOR POLISHING OFF OPACIEITES(* prob use UV BLOCKER AGAIN , to coat plastic )!! Any IDEAS ABIUT “” MOTHERS””?.
Is Scotty expensive to hire?
@@user-ud9ow5yi7n Probably as much as a normal mechanic
No day is complete without watching a Scotty video or two 🚙
I prefer at least 2 just to keep me sane
@@PiratePete-te8qp😂
Yeah I absolutely concur
Absolutely, total genius
Scotty should've replaced that belt after he removed it - he's getting sloppy! 😂😂😂
So glad seeing Scotty still can do tyres easily. Wish him good health so can share good tips for another 20 years.
Agreed. However, Scotty's 70 years old, like me. Ten more years would be pretty impressive.
He can't mount and/or balance a tire. He's a shade tree mechanic.
@@WhatYouSee why do you say that he's a shade tree mechanic?
@joefilms2775 because he has no shop, he has no cash register, he calls himself a MECHANIC. People trained on modern cars, these days, are trained TECHNICIANS. Notice he doesn't do much more with modern cars than run a scan tool and says NO THAT IMPORTANT to many of the things that come up red?
Everything new is awful and isn't going to last, as far as he's concerned.
@@WhatYouSee You got a point there man. Sure he doesn't have a giant shop but he is a very good mechanic regardless that the had the shortage of these modern state of the art tools. As far as I can tell, he is a guy that speaks based on years and years of working on cars, can't take that away from him. I am a more of a DIY guy hence I truly resonate with his videos and a lot of his philosophy. You on the other hand could probably be a modern day mechanic yourself, who has the access to all these state of the art tools and equipment, surely you got your own thing and I do truly respect that.
Hole in the muffler? Back in the seventies you could buy a Muffler Bandage, a fiberglass strip that you would wrap around the muffler (like a bandage). With heat the bandage would get hard. Drove an old Dodge Dart with a bandage for years
I can't believe how much I have learned from Scotty! It's amazing how he's honest about every car. Even though he likes Toyota, he's not technically "Brand Loyal." He admits Toyota's mistakes. Thanks, Scotty!
I have mad respect for Toyota but I can appreciate the design, story, and sentimentality of just about any individual car. I've hated late 90's Ford Tauruses for so long that I almost like them 😂
Even thought Toyota has its share of faults, they often learn from them and make it right. I like the fact that they're not perfect, but they always make continuous improvements.
He doesn’t mention Toyotas mistakes very often and when he does he does not dwell on them like he will on Ford mistakes.
But I like his videos also.
You can tell Scotty loves working on older cars.
He doesn't know how to work on modern cars.
Cause its easier to diagnose them
@@mattdawg6006Neither does any other mechanic😅
When they were easy to work on.
I have an 1994 Olds Cutlass Supreme S 3.1 wishing he could work on mine cause my checkengine lightt comes on or my ABS lights comes on & no one could tell me what's wrong & my a/c has worked in 4 years blowing HOT AIR
I wish I was Scottys neighbor. Imagine how much more you could learn from this great man!
Scotty is the only mechanic I know who uses UV leak dye. All of our local mechanics just guess where the leak is, which can be very expensive!
Can't they use the computer to detect the leak? (I'm still learning about cars)
we all use it, unless the customer refuses to pay for it.
No, the only components that is electronic that deals directly with the oil is pressure and temperature sensors. You should always use dye unless you can easily see it.
@@HeinzGuderian_lol no y’all don’t. I can’t believe you just lied for all mechanics in the US like that
id guess the garages don't want to keep stop pile of dyes
I am impressed ! Not that you found the leak, but when you actually r & r the front seal ! Great job !!!
I used to work at a gas/service station in a little town in Ohio and everyone from that town would bring their cars in to have the oil changed. They loved the fact that we would let them walk in the garage and watch as we changed their oil. Im pretty sure the owner ended up selling that little place for a couple million dollars. I think anyone that wanted a profitable business could open a oil change/service shop and make loads of money by just being honest.
Amen
Go Bucks! OH!
Scotty your my favorite new channel I’ve discovered in the last 3 months since I’ve been learning about cars. Love your vids man
My first car, really great, no issues except that it rotted underneath... its good to see older cars still going strong
The only people that would say Scotty's' "full of crap" are those that have not tried 205 reseal. It is amazing stuff. I drive a 1999 Acura Integra that had a rear main seal leak. The reseal not only stopped the leak it also cleaned the rings and the car no longer gives off light smoke at start up, till warm - something that B series engines are known for. Great advice from a guy that knows - Scotty's alright in my book.
craigsawyer6453- The light smoke at start up is valve stem seals. It is not a real problem but, it is bad when you start up in a parking lot when someone is walking by, this happens to me with my old truck. I will try the 205 but I have been living with this for 20 years in this occasional use work truck, so it probably beyond help from this product.
Would the leak seal work on an 09 dodge nitro?
No Scotty. You are full of good advice. Keep up the good work. Thanks for all the information you send out. Always appreciated.
Thx for the video. I get so much confidence to work on my car because of your videos
I have been watching his videos for about 8 yrs and he’s really accurate on so many things that’s it’s crazy
Why do we value Scotty? Because he is grounded, has ethics, and is a person who has our best interests in mind.
He has his own wild side , i.e. "Live Free or Die", and is a balanced being that calls out the dark and exposes it for what it is.
Live Ling and prosper, Mr. KILMER.
Typical AI generated comment. Garbage
are you sure you've got the right guy :)
Long live the King Scotty Kilmer
Finally saw Scotty actually wrench instead of just hooking up his big fancy scan tool
An oil leak won't trigger a trouble code. lol
Eyy a B13 Sentra. I still have one and still use it today. Very very reliable car. Timing chain driven DOHC 16 valve engine. Good on gas. Light car. I also did replace this particular main seal as mine leaked as well months ago. I can still find original OEM nissan parts for this car. Own mine for 7 years now with 90k miles (150k kms) Just keep in mind you have to take care the body to prevent rust as this era of cars are not really rust proofed well. But very solid car and cheap to maintain
Love this guy.... honest to the max!
I am so glad I subscribed to Scotty’s channel!! I get at least 1-3 belly laughs per video!!! Thank you Scotty!!
Scotty was the man that first got me into fixing cars most especially the basic stuff. He is the type of man that most people wish to be their dad that they never had.
Those electric impacts are a godsend when you work on stuff in your driveway. If you don't have one, definitely get one.
Appreciate all you car advice you always share to the public, Thank you, I have a Scion 2009 needs an engine swap
I hate those lynch-o-matic shoulder belts!! Love these rare repair videos!!❤
Scotty is a national treasure. So helpful. I love these videos.
Seeing this old Sentra makes me miss my 1992 Sentra SE-R.... that had the 2 liter SR20DE engine and was such a sleeper.... looked basically like a basic Sentra but was quicker and so much fun to drive.
Excellent. Thanks again Mr. Kilmer!
He makes everything look so easy.
Back in 2005, I bought a 1991 Nissan Maxima SE with 245k miles. Sold it with 300k miles in 2006. No issues. They were solid cars back then
Back when Nissan was still Nissan or way back in the 70s when they were known as Datsun..
Those maximas were great with superb v6 engines.
55k miles in one year?? Good lord.
Good video for those haters that don’t believe you are a real mechanic 😮
Had no idea you could swap that without tearing the engine down. Very cool!
normally there would be a timing belt to remove, and that will be your biggest problem.
I live in Canada , he’s taught me a lot about vehicle issues. Love his videos.
These type videos, where Scotty shows how to do the work, are my favorites.The info vids are great, but I like to do the work myself and these vids are excellent as teaching tools!! 👍
Couldn't tell from the video, was Scotty able to access the crankshaft seal by removing both the front right tire & shocks/springs or just the tire?
wouldn't he have to work from under the hood to remove the shocks and springs as well? im not an expert but i think since he didn't do that in the video i assume its just the wheel
@@ahmadammash9511 I have an old Sentra and there is more accessibility from the side than you might think. But transverse mounted drivetrains are a pain the butt.
I liked the old days when everything was in line, front to back. Not always a picnic to work on either but a whole lot easier than front wheel drive.
Cheers😁👍
I agree,the in line was a lot easier.@@justincase2281
@@emailuser8668 You can and you may need a puller as well if rubber mallet won't work. To get the seal if don't have a tool just gently drive a screw into the thick part of the seal and pull it out. You don't to scratch any of the housing. If you don't have socket to reseat the new seal use the old on top of the new one and gently tap it in with a small hammer or rubber mallet.
Scotty makes it look so easy, but I tell you what he worked on is a giant pain in the butt!
You said what I was thinking. That would not be a little Saturday afternoon project for most people.....
I can tell Scotty loves working on cars. I start off pumped and in good spirits then 20 minutes later, when I’m right in the middle of a job,my kids start asking me for stuff and I turn into the hulk.😂😂😂
Transmission fluid and filter change, do it yourself, but don't consider this a simple job.
I did one on a lightly driven 94 Chrysler New Yorker 3.5 l V6 that just reached 50,000 miles. The hardest thing was getting the pan off, on which the factory used silicone to make a gasket. Get one of those "gasket breaker" tools, even if it costs 50 bucks. Tapped the gasket breaker into the seam near a corner of the oil pan, and it popped right off. Don't improvise with a chisel and end up gouging the pan because it is nigh impossible to buy a replacement pan for this car.
The second hardest thing was removing every vestige of the silicone gasket. Use plastic scrapers, don't be afraid to use your fingernail, and plan on spending a half a day getting the pan flange free of the silicone. For some happy reason, not much silicone removal was needed on the mating transmission flange up in the vehicle. Putting it back together, I spent $20 on a fiber gasket and did not use the rubber gasket that came with the new filter that was creased from being folded up in the box the filter came in.
Torqued the pan against the fiber gasket according to Scotty's instructions, and whoo-hoo, no transmission leaks!
And one more thing, I took a jeweler's file to remove the drill-hole burr on all the bolt holes on the mating side of the transmission oil pan flange. This is done by filing inside each bolt hole at an angle, being careful not to slip out of the hole and scratch the flange surface. The factory use of a silicone seal probably made up for the tiny irregularities from those burrs on the bolt holes, but I was not taking the chance that the fiber gasket was going to distort when those burrs were pressed into it.
The hour I spent doing this was worth it to achieve a leak-free fit of the pan.
My daughter had 2 Nissan Sentra’s that she put many trouble free miles on. First one was a 99 that was bought used. Second one a 2006. Very dependable.
Man, this guy makes everything look easy!
Thanks for the info on this. You made it look easy
Love the low profile datona jack got one myself
‘04 Toyota Sequoia super squeaky and cannot believe how well this works! Thanks Scotty
Outstanding Scotty, your the best, your videos are great, thanks 😊
I have a Nissan Sunny ( Sentra ) 2001 with 163,250 miles. Engine still run good and do not burn oil. Had to replace both engine seals and as we had to remove the transmission, the transmission seal was changed too . We put new trans oil too. Real solid car and engine and in Thailand still no rust on the body.
Scotty is the only mechanic I know who can get away with finger-painting engine oil all over a white car. ❤
love the fingerprints on the fender!!
Don't worry about all of that grease on the fender...LOL.
The Hood opening procedure really made the video.
Great video Scotty. A lot of cars were made much better in the nineties than nowadays I find. It's a shame they make cars so cheaply now with planned obsolescence... Of course with yourself as a mechanic I'm sure you could make any car run forever 🤣👍
The driving through the country slide you added at 2:02 to help explain is hilarious Scotty!
1999 B14 Sentra owner here! The GA16de engine is indestructible!😎😎😎
I had that same year and model. It was a great car! I wish I kept it!
Even though the camera work made me seasick, it's great to see Scotty working on cars rather than plugging in a scan tool.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
You're so smart Scotty ❤
havent seen scotty do a repair vehicle like this in a few years.
Great tip!
I love old Nissans. Even my 2006 Frontier was decently made. But 1990's, even better.
Scotty is a legend
The Toyota engine that was burning excessive oil caused by faulty pistons & rings was the 4 cyl 2AZ-FE on many 2006-2011 models, XB models until 2015.
2007 - 2011 Toyota Camry
2007 - 2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid
2009 Toyota Matrix
2009 Toyota Corolla
2006 - 2008 Toyota Solara
2007-2010 Scion TC
2008-2015 Scion XB
Scotty you are a master mechanic you should open a mechanic school you would make a fortune and make great mechanics out there for all of us.
Scotty actually saying good things about a Nissan 😂
Next he'll say something good about bmw
those old nissans are still running an i have a 2013 versa(its now a spare to a toyota and subaru i have) ready for a 3rd trans at 160k. MY 95 Altima i still had until 2018 never died ever bulletproof i put 70k on it when its over 20year of age(when i got it 2015) and for 500 bucks not bad for my first car.(brother crashed it)
Yeah if it's an older model.
My next door neighbors has a 1988 Nissan maxima. 3 hundred thousand miles on it… and yes… it’s still runs. !!!
GTR deserves that good talk lol
Quick work on that front main seal, Scotty. That UV fluid worked great.
won't be so quick if you have a quad cam v6 with a timing belt.
Those Nissans in the 90s are good engine and transmission is good after 2006 Nissan has went downhill my uncle's has a 96 Altima gxe with same motor
I watch Scotty because he tells it like it is, he's infomative etc. I have no desire to do the work myself.
I wish I had this much fun working on my stuff.
If you are one of those people that bought a CVT before knowing they are junk, change the fluid every 40,000 miles (or sooner if you have a Nissan.) Ignore the shop when they say you don't need to do that. You will get more miles out of the transmission
@@devenmellor I agree. I choose to do it as a yearly service and I'm at nearly 90k. Not everyone wants to do it that often so I list what a trusted mechanic told me with the 40k interval. Fluid changes are much cheaper than a new transmission in the end.
Great Video Scotty !!!
Nice to know. But very few people have Scottys mechanical knowledge. Or the tools and ability to do these repairs.
Wow. Who said that was crap. So much knowledge in one video
Thanks Scotty 👍
Nice Fonzie move opening the hood 😊
Hey Scotty, how about making a video on reducing wind noise in an old car with rubber restorer on the weather seals?
30 years old !? In Ontario that thing would be 100% rust ! Good job Scotty.
Nissan made very solid V4 and V6 motors up until early 200s. Never the most fuel efficient, but very cheap and reliable. I still keep a 2002 V6 Frontier 4x4 manual around. In the mountains of Maine when the snow is at its worst and I gotta go into the woods, I take it over the wider, clumsy 60k truck. I like the videos when we ID problem, disassemble and talk about it.
If I tried this repair five hours later I would still be trying to get the hubcap off
Great videos. What is your opinion on the ford 7.3 godzilla cam and lifter issues? Is there anything we can do to minimize our chances of having a problem?
I love all the oily hand marks on the car. Just like my Dad. Never covered anything before working on it. I love Scotty
This video is like watching a Scotty Saturday workout 🏋️
He’s just jumping under vehicles and takin care bidnisss
If environmentalists really wanted to do something positive for the environment they would get the auto manufacturers to give life time warranties on gaskets and seals. This would keep the fluids from getting on the roads and parking lots and washing into the streams and rivers. I would bet that the manufactures would quickly develop some really good gaskets and seals.
Instead they're trying to force us out of driving entirely with "15 minute cities" and "agenda 21" & "going full electric"
Good point, good silicone gaskets will last forever. Most of them are probably neoprene rubber that gets hard and cracks
You mean like the paint they designed 40 years ago that lasted 100 years?
Learn this big company's are like the pharma industry. They don't actually want anyone or anything fixed!!!!
Scott's got more horse sense than any mechanics I have ever seen. Very good! And he ain't no damn rip off!
Scotty-you are awesome! Thank you for what you do! You are truly an educator and good human!
Thanks scotty
Good video. 👍👍
Scotty should have mentioned, no timing belt on these GA15, GA16 SR18 SR20 all the best engines run forever!! Great job, these are some of the best engines reliability and quality wise.
I put over 300,000 miles on a 1992 Maxima and never did anything to it but oil changes and tires. Drove great and got around 30 mpg. I'd buy another one like it in a heartbeat.
I had a 92 Sentra 5spd manual and thing lasted 360k miles only changed the clutch twice! It was pretty decent on gas but basic
Thank you.
Thanks for the Recommendation to change my own ATF. My 2003 Saturn ION is probably due for another change ( as 200K approaches it's probably due). Then again as it's now 20+ years in service I should probably put some TLC into its eventual replacement, my recently acquired 2014 GMC Terrain with almost half the miles and a good Service History, but just like my ION... An ATF change (might) be horribly expensive all because the OEM ATF is rarely cheap and the drain/fill plugs aren't always DIY friendly...
But "teach a person to fish"... I wouldn't mind saving money and knowing it was done right
I have a ‘05, 350z. It had a squeaking noise coming from the back wheel. The bushings still looked in fine condition but I ordered some 205 reseal online and when I sprayed the bushings, the noise stopped in less than 10 mins
Hey Scotty, really enjoy your video.
My wife and I both own Jeeps, 2022 and 2023.
I'm reading a fare amount about jeeps having a short life. Engine and transmission issues.
Is there anything I can do to ensure I get the most from our jeeps?
I change the engine oil every 3000 miles regardless of what the manufacturer says.
Is there anything else I can do?
I’ve got two pulsars at the moment had two Sentra as well one did 350k before i gave it away still going well.I have a pulsar n15 99 with ga1500 and a 2004 wagon later qa1500 no distributor with 220000 to replace one that got lost in a flood.both excellent cars though i think the best was my 92 Sentra cup car good for over 120mph.
Man, back in the day I had a friend who had the Pulsar NX Sportbak with the two roof pieces you could swap out. I *still* want one of those, to this day.
What about the rubber brake lines on older cars? Can atp-205 help if the lines are getting stiff or brittle?
Hi Scotty,
I just bought a 2023 corolla. Apparently it's a 2L GDI engine as they discontinued the 1.8L. Will it wear out faster? How can I make it last as long as a Toyota should?
Can you come over to Cincinnati and fix my Chevy avalanche for your Chanel please Scotty 🙏 your the man!!!
Scotty is still the best, I’m 66 I hope I go as long as Scotty ❤👍😁
Scotty I worked at ZF Transmission Nissan is using their 9 speed Transmissions now
If every garage had someone like Scotty around maby we wouldn't be getting screwed over all the time
Yeah, Now they get grease all over your steering wheel & inside & out door. When you tell the guy at the front desk...next time you come in they are told not to do this they become vindictive an reach in above your window and intentionally put grease on your brand new headliner. You can't clean it off without tearing it up. Would you ever trust this shop again? NOT!!!
THANKS AMAZING SCOTTY.....
