Technology ConnectionsWelp, finally got that new video done
Admiral Memo@TechConnectify I learned this the hard way! That wasn't fun!
Baloo Uriza@AdmiralMemo Only time I've ever had it come on was about 3 seconds after the timing chain in my EJ22 Subaru decided to fail catastrophically in the middle of US 169 in Tulsa. Damn near every valve got hammered shut and I had to import a junkyard engine from Japan, twice, to fix it.
Ari [APz] Sovijärvi@BalooUriza I had the sadly infamous VW 5 cylinder 2.5L TDI engine to lose oil pressure during the emission testing. It was effed up in a glorious way, the camshaft lobes ate their way into the valve tappets. RIP that engine.
@apzpins Wow, I can't even fathom how that would happen.
@BalooUriza Volkswagen finds the way!
It was an interesting engine. No belts, no chains. Everything, from auxliary systems to AC directly driven. Yet they found a way to make it suck.
Their old Diesel found in T4 Transporters was a tank, I've seen 600k - 1M driven ones with original engines and after a rebuild it reliable for another 30 years.
The T5 and beyond were just technical disasters, although very nice to drive for a van.
Geekman@TechConnectify Does Aging Wheels make a guest appearance?Do I need to watch to find out?
Todd Vaziri@TechConnectify can’t wait to see how THIS one ends
@TechConnectify I like the shirts you wore this video.
yosh@TechConnectify it's a good video!

Dr. Dek 👨🚀🐧🚀 )@TechConnectify good work! I'm looking forward to watch this one!
derptron@TechConnectify My pressure gage was just fine right up until there was a loud rattling and it lost power. Then it died. On the beach. With the tide coming in.
Bruno Nicoletti@TechConnectify I genuinely LOL’d hard at the drill gag. Good stuff.
gluttoThat snapped my attention pretty quick.

No & Yes on this video's engine health saga.
The operator / owner understanding basic ice health, from day one, is the KEY element for ice engine longevity...
Little things like my Kia Teluride consuming oil is a big deal for me.

Softwarewolf@TechConnectify "Nissan Versa" might be in the running to beat my favorite "Liam Nissan" joke.
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@faoluin @TechConnectify I always liked the "Alyssa Murano" joke...

@TechConnectify I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen a new video in a while and was looking forward to when a new one would come out.
Coffee@TechConnectify An incredible video! As someone who's only seen a car's internals as they were being abused (or, more rarely, lovingly resuscitated) by Wade and James of Garbage Time, it's great to see a more sober and educational angle. Also, I've never seen a timing chain (the duo above hasn't dealt with engines that new), and I'd love to know why the timing chain tensioner is moving repeatedly. Does it have to do with the dynamic timing adjustment you said you wouldn't be getting into?
Morg@TechConnectify This feels like it had even more unseen work behind than usual - wonderful work! and very informative.
We had to change our cars oil filter for the first time a while back and this explains some things (horrible job)

Oil Pressure is the only thing keeping an engine alive.
Tell that to VW, among others they fscked up big time on newer engines with variable oil pressure control.
Most companys now have ridiculously long oil change interval's and production swarf left in the engines.
Cleaning costs money.
us manufacturers are involved too..

Iain Collins@bclindner @TechConnectify Oh I love this guy with all the videos about condensing, dehydrating, heating / cooling! ✨

@bclindner @TechConnectify Don't forget to pay attention to viscosity grades (your vehicle's manual should say what to use), synthetic versus conventional (synthetic is usually preferred), etc. 
Dreaming of dad jazz.@tk he totally did though. (did you expect any less?)
Yacha@bclindner @TechConnectify in this video, did he mention the refrigerator cycle at least once?
I definitely should play a drinking game with friends, and drink every time he says anything about the cycle.
Daarin@yacha @bclindner @TechConnectify until I watched his video about it, I really was puzzled how you remove energy by inserting energy
@yacha @bclindner @TechConnectify he didn't mention the refrigeration cycle, however dishwashers were mentioned.
FULL-FIFO DEVELOPER 🇺🇦🇨🇿@bclindner @TechConnectify sigh. binged on this gentleman's car videos and i never even had a car or a driving license...
🄻🅄🄽🄰@bclindner worked as a mechanic 4 a yr and still this was quite entertaining 2 watch

@44 I have a very long career with pinball and I still found his pinball videos entertaining and I was really happy for such a high profile video maker to bring publicity to the hobby.
Myk@TechConnectify I’m convinced you said “Oiling can” just to avoid “oil can what?” jokes. 😁
Timo Weingärtner@TechConnectify nice video, i already knew most of it, looking forward to the next part.
little persnickety: what you show at 32:15 is not an o-ring because it is not a torus.

Brian King@TechConnectify if you had posted this in ~2005, I probably wouldn’t have murdered my ‘96 Honda Civic.
VANTABlack@TechConnectify Just finished the video. I wasn't expecting to see an engine in a dishwasher, but it's a good video to learn how some stuff in the engine works especially since I have started driving more recently.
Now I am curious if you are going to make a video about how electric cars run with how often you mentioned them in this video. Or if I just missed when you posted a video on how electric car engines work.
Overall though I enjoyed the video and feel like I learned some good knowledge.
Charles A-M@VANTABlack2000 @TechConnectify enging in a dishwa— what? oh now I have to watch it!
Dario Zanette@TechConnectify I'm happy to see you alive and safe, after your last video.
I drive and prefer electric car, but for sure I know I will like you talking about ICE (internal combustion engine, not the... "other" ICE).
Maybe one day you will delight us with a video on bicycle, too? :D
@DarioZanette @TechConnectify hah, I'd love to see him take apart a 14- speed internal shifter hub!
that one. And later a Pinion drive, an electric motor from an e-bike, and why not a 90-minutes video on how Brompton bikes works? :D
(Brompton are also a lot useful to... DO THINGS while waiting the electric car to charge)

You mean they didn't go there to look for the missing Epstein files?

Starting about half-way through, I am learning.
gaytabase@TechConnectify engine in a dishwasher is absolute peak TC
I decided to just stop buying cars with those lamps many years ago!
Never looked back! 🥰
(Also... driving by gas stations is entertaining af these days!) 😅

@TechConnectify I enjoyed this one, even though none of the info in it was new to me. Except "flexplate". That was new to me. I hope you explain how TF a torque converter works and what converting torque even means.
@TechConnectify To your audience - not knowing what the "idiot lights" mean, what they should and shouldn't be doing, and what your fluids SHOULD look and smell like, is a great way to spend more money on car repairs and possibly die.
@TechConnectify "Die? Surely that's exaggeration!", some might exclaim.
Your brakes use fluid. Your brake fluid is one of a few things standing between you and uncontrolled abrupt stopping, which can be fatal.
Bee O'Problem 
@hellomiakoda @TechConnectify on a similar note, someone had their transmission and/or engine grenade due to neglect causing them to violently stop at highway speed in front of my parents. Everyone was ok but both cars were totaled.
@beeoproblem @TechConnectify Ah yes, another method unscheduled uncontrolled abrupt stopping.
vxo@beeoproblem @hellomiakoda @TechConnectify Yup. If you're on any sort of motorcycle-shaped object and you hear the engine start to act weird or get an oil pressure light, grab the clutch. This will prevent you from unexpectedly meeting pavement if the engine locks up. You will be able to remain in control and safely coast to a stop (braking will be pleasantly unchanged, as there's most likely no power brake booster that'll cut out if the engine dies!)
@beeoproblem @hellomiakoda @TechConnectify I feel like the way to deal with this on something with a scooter transmission would be to immediately straighten out if you're in any sort of curve and come to a stop, but if the engine seizes, be ready for a loss of rear wheel traction followed by regaining it. This will just yeet you into the void if it happens during a curve.
The centrifugal clutch rotor is connected to the engine and the clutch will try to release immediately once that stops.
@beeoproblem @hellomiakoda @TechConnectify And by "connected" I mean, uh, indirectly, but directly enough. I still don't understand why that weird little centrifugal flyweight controlled wonder even works the way it does. I probably will in a week or so when I've had one apart in my hands to inspect it while changing the V-belt.
