    We all know that YT is made for living vicariously through other people - but it sure is weird that it's more fun to live through a guy who busts his knuckles on 80s Hondas, like I would, and not live through a basejumper with a jetset lifestyle.. Thanks for doing this - you are my hero!

    After coming home from work, i have a habit of sitting down on the couch and eating something barely fit for human consumption, while watching some "will it run"-type of shit on UA-cam.

    I enjoy the work ethic implied by your choice of projects and your approach to accomplishing them. You happened to notice that the dirty details of engineering had entertainment value, possibly by observing other UA-camrs or possibly just by observing your own work. Then you did a little extra engineering (and writing) to edit the process and make it even more entertaining. Good example for others.

    This is true to life, this is exactly what happens to me when I work on my pan. Including loosing the valve collets. Things breaking off and snapping and rounding off and having to cut things off. I rounded a head bolt off and had to cut grind the head off. Then the rounded off head bolt stump unscrewed with my fingers? Even though I tried welding another bolt to the head bolt and all the other tricks to get it off. Could I undo it, could I fook.😮😮😅

    In my country, Ignoring that neutral switch safety stuff would cost me a permission to used that vehicle on public roads. Ever heard of TÜV. But i tricked them one time with a sidestand, on my bmw k100 rs '83 bike. Original with spring mounted to get that tüv, & after that mounted one without the spring(more comort) from a later model, ignoring safety switches.

    Hello, I recently came across a 1mzfe TRD supercharger kit for an auto car and I was hoping if you know where I can get my hands on one for a manual egr pipe?
    Is there anyway around this problem to get the car to run without the egr check engine light?

    • @thedoubtfultechnician8067
      @thedoubtfultechnician8067  Рік тому +2

      The only difference between the auto and manual egr tube is the manual egr tube tucks in closer to the engine at the bottom so that the egr tube doesn't touch the shifter cables and melt them. The auto EGR tube sticks out a bit more but not much, as the automatic shifter cable stays further away for the egr tube. I swapped mine from auto to manual and I reused the auto egr tube and it still cleared the manual cables.
      It’s all about clearance.

    I'm only 3 minutes in, but Spark has timing, Fuel has timing, Compression has timing, and Air has timing. Timing (ASSuming you meant spark timing) isn't it's own major component of a running ICE engine. An gasoline ICE engine with sub-optimal spark, fuel, air, and compression TIMING may possibly still run. However, if you completely omit any of the 4 major ingredients, you have an engine that doesn't run.
    Timing isn't it's a major component...it's a subset of something else.

    • @minig646

      I would say that’s debatable. They all share timing as a common theme, but in the context of the troubleshooting process, mechanical timing is distinctly separate.
