Oil pressure is the only thing keeping an engine alive

@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.

Remember - there is no such thing as being unable to stop. You will stop. It's a matter of stopping when you want at a controlled rate, or unscheduledly stopping abruptly and having your various mushy bits slam against your rigid mineral bits.
@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.
@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.
