geez, the way you wrote this i thought you were gonna say either that the owner copyright strikes people that use this or that the bird is dead or something.
I think the Nutella hardened in the oil passages that supply the oil to the cams and it's why it was fine before but not after sitting over night. After sitting the oil supply to the upper half of the engine was not enough to provide lubrication. Also whatever was left in the lifters also hardened up lol
Designers: Let's put plastic here as it's not a part that's meant to come off often anyway & as long as the car isn't abused. There shouldn't be a reason to repeatedly take this part off. Dank & James:
In fairness, having a few 90s car with plastic rocker covers... It's kinda nice, using the right plastic they don't get brittle, don't rust, paint doesn't flake off, doesn't bend (Steel) doesn't have to be super nice and flat (Aluminum)... Obviously it's going to be an issue in some amount of time, but it's fine
@Furko08 True, but with how often Dank complains about companies making stuff worse. This comes off as less funny and more "Your blaming companies for your own stupidly" which is just add to the annoyance of him whinging about companies.
@TotallyNormalUK nah very often it really is that parts are becoming worse and worse. Gotta save money every way possible nowadays, even if it means ruining your reputation. But in this case yeah that's 100% on them haha Who knows how easy/difficult that part disassembled when they first took it off
I've always lived with the believe that the common car engine is one of the most impressive feats of engineering, something powerful and violent yet delicate and precise. Watching The Goober go through more and more intense abuse and still turning on and revving is for me mind breaking. But honestly James makes it look easy, like it's just a matter of unscrewing a few bolts, cleaning it somewhat and putting it back together in a careless laidback fashion
came to say this also 👍 slippery bolts don't register as much resistance to turning/torque as dry while still achieving the desired clamping force and therefore passing the bolt yield (probably) if you use the same torque setting
Can we just appreciate that Wade has a mechanic on the payroll that he can demand they do whatever his wills. I love these goobers, bogan isn't even the word, they've transcended it
"shes good" 2:40 yeah plastic is my favorite. Especially when its under the engine bay and exposed to intense heat cycles, so it very quickly becomes incredibly brittle and practically impossible to flex or bend without it shattering or flaking off into dust. Im sure it's an excellent idea weve chosen to fill engine bays with plastic covers on everything to make it pretty.
And also, generally when you end up having to work on the engine it’s later in life. So the plastic has had time to get brittle and crackly. From the factory new, the plastic might not be the biggest issue to take apart. It’s still got flex in it and it doesn’t wanna fall apart or crumble yet. But you’re (probably/hopefully) not working on replacing the gaskets or anything in a new car. This is why I loved my civic compared to my new car. The new car has plastic everywhere. The civic was just… “idk here’s the engine. You wanted it to look pretty? Nah mate.”
I think basically every car I've had which started out with such a cover eventually ended up not having it any more, and it didn't change a thing about how they ran. Made servicing a tad easier though. Also when i wanted the engine to look nicer on my first, very nuggety car... I took the rusty, heat stained, metal cam cover off and spray painted it the same colour as the bodywork then put it back on...
The cam bearing bolts going tighty loosey from stretching is the perfect example of why any bolt belonging to the inside of the engine needs to be replaced if removed, because they`re all torque to yield, meaning that by design stretch by a certain amount when tightened to spec for the first time, and every subsequent reuse of the bolt stretches it more, causing it to not clamp as tightly as intended at a given level of tightness, or to streight up fail, like those ones did. The goober isn`t gonna survive much longer, and those reused bolts aren`t gonna help
As someone who never watched your channel before, just finished the goober chocolate video from recommended and then checked your recent videos - this timing is immaculate you dirty bastard

Glass fiber reinforced plastic engine components are the BANE of every mechanics existence and almost guarantee the finite lifespan of modern vehicles. I'm at the 3:23 mark and I'm going to guess that the hydraulic lifters have seized/collapsed due to the shmoo in the oil, if that is the case they can probably be saved I've done it on several Suzuki Vitara V6 engines, common issue when you don't regularly change the oil.
Ill ask you this question then 😅 ive an old hilux with a 3L (2.8ltr) diesel, why are my lifters more noisy after an oil change? 😂 as it approaches 5000km they shut up and it sounds good, but then when i change the oil its back to all of them being slightly ticky at all times for about 3800km 😂 (using gw 15-40 diesel oil, changing usually at 4500km intervals, never more than 5000km though)
@@Colt45hatchback How many KM on the odometer? It's common for oil to lose some some viscosity between oil changes, it's also possible that if your 3L is turbo charged you may get some diesel past the rings on a higher mileage engine causing the oil to thin a bit (this is more common if you have your injection pump turned up), that could allow it to flow into a hydraulic lifter easily reducing noise. I don't know much about the 3L but I have an 1983 2.2L 2L NA and a 1986 2.4L 2LT, both require valve adjustments at regular intervals due to valve seat wear, I'm not 100% sure but I think the 3L uses shims to adjust valve clearance, depending on you mileage you may need a valve adjustment.
Though that's in the gas, something that heats up explosively and causing the sugar to melt and clog. The oil is a different story. It will kill the engine SLOWER. So... Alright, same ending, different story and length, but still. Sugar in gas has been what you'd use to kill an engine
@@updog4L Obviously does depend on amount and the engine, though I might watch the episode to see what exactly they did. I do think it is absolutely not good for the engine, even if it doesn't kill it outright.
@@updog4Lmost cars have filters on the fuel line these days, to stop any crap that might be in the tank making it into the engine (or, at least as importantly, the injectors - a caeburettor won't care but injectors are very sensitive).

Now, sand in the oil (or the gearbox, as there's no filter on that) is a good one, but your big problem is one of access. Even now that most filler caps have automatic locks, it's probably a lot easier to force that open then close it up without it being immediately obvious, than to do the same with the bonnet.
I love how the Goober is actively fighting you off fixing it, like it's screaming for you to let it die already. It says so much about how durable things used to be with how this is fixable! Thanks so much for showing off the old mate fixes, it helps me feel so much better about some of my less-than-perfect repairs on my own projects.
Wade, you gotta be careful here, if you guys keep up with this kinda work Boeing will snatch James up in a heartbeat and employ him as their lead airworthiness engineer and quality manager 🙁
Re: plastic parts; proper plastic compounds are as strong as some cast aluminum, and could be less likely to crack/chip in events of random abuse. Granted, this is goober-spec plastic
Sure, when new. New... Ya know, that period where cars shouldn't need any work at all... Yeah... Then it gets old and no longer meets those specifications - starts to pall and crack in a way that aluminium never would, before you ever actually need to work on that part.....
In the news tonight, local Adelaide man has tormented a 2009 Proton S16 "Goober" to the point of its self-destruction. When asked about the situation, the man refused to comment.
Normally hydraulic tappets take a few km to become quiet again after they dry out like that, a friend of mine did a full clean up with his tappets because new ones were too expensive and the problem was lack of oil changes so they were full of crap and after installing them they were worse than before, but after a couple of days they were better and better and at the end they were fine.
james should make a racing game setup in it for 2 player games, you could turn the windscreen into a monitor somehow, no idea how but im sure gaffa tape and hot glue would do it
Ah, vice grips on the camshaft, one of my most shameful shade tree mechanic tricks. Always felt compelled to hide the apprentice marks, but I've never had it fuck a cam up beyond use.
6:27 those aren’t lifters; those are DAMB Tappets (Direct Acting Mechanical Bucket) it’s because the camshafts are directly above the valves; lifters and rocker arms are only used when the camshaft is either offset from not even near the valves in the case of a “Cam in Block” valve train.
Love their style! True engineers - using pliers and Adjustable wrenches to apply precision engineered knurls to the hydraulic lifters and rounded edges to the camshafts. Excellent!!!!!
The mechanic: "I see, your problem is engine knocking. Do you know when it happened? Ahh I see after you put Nutella inside the engine now it sounds bad. That's just a minor inconvenience."
A crescent wrench only slips if you don't tighten it properly. You need to turn the worm screw all the way, but THEN you need to jiggle the jaws with your fingers while you KEEP turning the worm screw, so that any of the 'play' tolerance goes away. I used em for 15 years as a plumber without any issue. I can, quite literally, crack a brass nut in half by overtightening with a crescent wrench. They don't slip when you use them right.
Well it's a common issue with proton, even here in Malaysia if we do do a top overhaul we try out best to inform the customer to let us change the bolts. The hydraulic valve is an issue with ALL campro engines including the next gen VVT campro engine.

"new rule: no new parts"
*proceeds to use new bolts*
I'll allow it, it's not a significant component, and goes a long way to keep the car running!
I believe the intent is no new proper parts. regular bolts from the hardware store are not the intended bolts, therefore, its fine.
nah it's fine they are bunnings spec
@@GameMaker3_5 Bolts: not significant components.
I was disappointed, he should have turned new bolts on a crappy Chinese lathe to get the real deal.
I love how the Goober is actively fighting you off fixing it, like it's screaming for you to let it die already. It says so much about how durable things used to be with how this is fixable!
Thanks so much for showing off the old mate fixes, it helps me feel so much better about some of my less-than-perfect repairs on my own projects.
the goober will be fine.... it's goobin time
And then the goober goobered all over the place
1:45 "You're gonna be a master of these"
_James: "Yaay?"_
10:39 That grunt from James had all of his bottled-up annoyance in it from everything leading up to that moment.
13:05 Oh my soul...
I need a car that tolerates abuse like this Proton does
they’re making up solutions to problems literally nobody has ever had. truly a pioneer of the modern era
Wade, you gotta be careful here, if you guys keep up with this kinda work Boeing will snatch James up in a heartbeat and employ him as their lead airworthiness engineer and quality manager 🙁
James isn't a scab, he won't break the picket line.
When i first watched Wade build an iPod with Cardboard and Prayers, i did not expect i'd watch full engine rebuilds just a few years later.
0:21 the weird british car is looking quite cromulent
worrying about stretching bolts and then tightening them with an impact tool instead of hand tightening had me screaming

Re: plastic parts; proper plastic compounds are as strong as some cast aluminum, and could be less likely to crack/chip in events of random abuse. Granted, this is goober-spec plastic
Still shouldn’t be used in something that can get as hot as 230 degrees Fahrenheit or 115 Celsius
It’s a lotus designed engine
Sure, when new.
New... Ya know, that period where cars shouldn't need any work at all...
Yeah... Then it gets old and no longer meets those specifications - starts to pall and crack in a way that aluminium never would, before you ever actually need to work on that part.....

Truly sage advice...
In the news tonight, local Adelaide man has tormented a 2009 Proton S16 "Goober" to the point of its self-destruction. When asked about the situation, the man refused to comment.
Last video: it’s fine!
This video: (narrator) it was, in fact, not fine.
13:35 oh that engine is purring like a kitten
I think James is right about the compression. The dipstick lifts which would suggest blowby pressurising the crankcase.
Wade: We want to kill the Goober.
Wade when the Goober starts dying: Oh no.
Sounds like it has a cold.
14:33 extra what?

Normally hydraulic tappets take a few km to become quiet again after they dry out like that, a friend of mine did a full clean up with his tappets because new ones were too expensive and the problem was lack of oil changes so they were full of crap and after installing them they were worse than before, but after a couple of days they were better and better and at the end they were fine.
This video creeped me out. I watched it at 4:59pm on Friday the 13th of September when I saw the clip at 13:20. WEIRD.
thats liquid time, serendipity, nice day awaits you
Bruh it came out 4 hours ago....
Oh snap you're right
james should make a racing game setup in it for 2 player games, you could turn the windscreen into a monitor somehow, no idea how but im sure gaffa tape and hot glue would do it
i was totally ready for the engine to seize up on the spot and "oh we forgot to put the oil back in"
James never fails, James is the ultimate goober mechanic
Ah, vice grips on the camshaft, one of my most shameful shade tree mechanic tricks. Always felt compelled to hide the apprentice marks, but I've never had it fuck a cam up beyond use.
This is slowly becoming a series where the goober is getting homemade fixes done to it to see if it will last and I'm all for it
I was not prepared for how hard I laughed when Gumi-chan was overlaid on the video of the revving at 0:48. What a crossover.
"It's like you're trying to kill the Goober or something!"
"Well...yes!!"
Another finger curled back on the monkey's paw.
Just wanted to let you know I saw a Holden on the road yesterday. In rural New York. I only knew what it was because of your channel. So thanks!

6:27 those aren’t lifters; those are DAMB Tappets (Direct Acting Mechanical Bucket) it’s because the camshafts are directly above the valves; lifters and rocker arms are only used when the camshaft is either offset from not even near the valves in the case of a “Cam in Block” valve train.
Hydraulic Lash Adjusters.
@@easyBob100 that’s actually an internal component of the Bucket Tappet
@@digitalrailroader It's still called an HLA in my workshop manual.
Love their style! True engineers - using pliers and Adjustable wrenches to apply precision engineered knurls to the hydraulic lifters and rounded edges to the camshafts. Excellent!!!!!
0:33 that sounds like a good car to me
The mechanic: "I see, your problem is engine knocking. Do you know when it happened? Ahh I see after you put Nutella inside the engine now it sounds bad. That's just a minor inconvenience."
A crescent wrench only slips if you don't tighten it properly. You need to turn the worm screw all the way, but THEN you need to jiggle the jaws with your fingers while you KEEP turning the worm screw, so that any of the 'play' tolerance goes away.
I used em for 15 years as a plumber without any issue. I can, quite literally, crack a brass nut in half by overtightening with a crescent wrench. They don't slip when you use them right.
Well it's a common issue with proton, even here in Malaysia if we do do a top overhaul we try out best to inform the customer to let us change the bolts.
The hydraulic valve is an issue with ALL campro engines including the next gen VVT campro engine.
