1. Hey if there's no water getting behind the new emblem it's impossible for it to rust. When amy one of the four things required for corrosion is removed, in this case the electrolyte, corrosion can't happen. maybe he put silicone behind the emblem.

2. I love these vids

3. 2 – yeah torque angle gauge is cheap, around 20 dollars. Phone looks dodgy for this. Too much risk to the phone. U-joint dude is a Darwin Award applicant – damn man, raise it on jack stands, then it goes nowhere. Tie rod end, buy a pickle fork. This nut method can still wreck the threads due to hammering force. If you plan to reuse the rod end, use the right tools. They are cheaper than ruining parts. I loved the dog leaving just before the jack slipped. The turbo hack is total shit. That beveled ring guides and smooths airflow going into the turbine, giving much better airflow. Removing it makes airflow ragged and you lose power. He did himself no favours.

4. 4:15 we PC guys use coffee filters and IPA to clean the old thermal compound off CPUs to seat new heatsinks… for the same reason listed here; it's rough enough to clean without damage, and lint free.

5. I’ve seen old guys use dishwashing gel to clean the cooling systems of cars

6. An engineer will climb over a mountain of naked women just to fuck a tech.

7. I don't know what that white car that fell off the jack was, but it looked like it could have been pretty expensive. NEVER double puck. Damn!

8. Tide pods dissolve in water. Brake fluid is oil. Probably won't do jack except for getting corrosive detergent crud into your braking system.
   In other words don't bother!

9. Why do alot of people hate on is street mechanics. We do what shops do woth out the fancy lifts and tools. I dont do dumb shit of half ass but im just saying.

10. I chock the wheels when I'm putting the car on jack stands, becaise I don't want to have the front come off the stands while I'm jacking up the back.
    It's sort of common sense, but I suppose it's also a skill. I mean, if people have to be told, then it must be a skill, right?

11. when you have to compress your caliper, just use a c-clamp and the old pad. works every time on my Japanese buckets. idk about anything past the early 2000s tho

12. Have definetly neutral dropped my power tools before, haha.

13. I will never, never understand why people place jacks under the sideskirts! It's fiberglass, FFS. It's not going to support the weight of your vehicle.

14. Angelina fap challenge. Easy win lol

15. For some bad seals, or hardened…at-205. it swells and rejuvs

16. 4:36, don't just chock your wheels. Chock them well. Immediate PTSD flashback. Whew boy. If you a fightah, you gonna find a way to hold on or ya gonna find a way to let it pass ya. Done both and that diff passed a Fatboy with ease my friend. I was okay with that too. Hello, sketchy my old friend…

17. Is the blink 182 dude a mechanic?

18. Coffee filter hack also works great for cleaning thermal paste off of the ihs of a cpu, or even on bare dies. Coffee filters dont leave behind lint or fibers by design, so that makes them great for dust sensitive cleaning.

19. Hoo boy. Please don't put dishwasher tablets/powder through your engine. They will react HARD with any aluminium (and possibly the gaskets) and furr up everything.

    You can use them on plastic bottles in a pinch, but please rinse everything completely.

20. I remember decades ago being stuck trying to get off an old oil filter, so I used some old bailing twine (I think it's called…?) and a short screw driver, twisting it around, back then there was know net, but I had my MacGyver thinking cap on 😊😅😮 "come on Mac, think of something!!!" 5 seasons of that show was AWESOME!!! 👌

21. Wow lol Hardcase but yes!!! I did quite a bit of research but plus, I do consider myself a petrol head!!! Yesterday I completed my head gasket replacement project on me ole 01 camry wagoon 5sfe engine that crapped out about 6 or 7 weeks ago, after doing a measly 435k ks… Also in the mix was new valve seals, new fuel filter and…. …. and a complete clean out of the oil pump seals. Time will tell but yesterday it did a minor 120k trip and got me back well into the night. DEF, need to do your SERIOIS research!!! Ps, if I wasn't 6 foot 7, I probably would have become a mechanic, but even at high school I was having back issues… peace fellas, and keep up the great content!!! Pss, I only hired mechanic once to come and install a heicoil into the tensioner pulley I stripped lol😢😂😅😊 now I got peace of mind…. pssst, I only did the timing belt 2 months prior to this 6 weekend job, so that, bushes, waterpump, and…. thermostat already done, AND, the rocket cover rubber gasket was still soo 100 complete, and seriously still stuck in da groove from that job EYE did about 4 year ago, I left it, just put some new gue in da corners…. feeling real chuffed I did it, saving myself about 3 quarters the job bill, peace all ✌️
