Does That Really Work Auto Show - This show is for the consumer car enthusiast. This channel is designed to try and demonstrate new automotive related products to determine how well they really work. No, not for the professional, but the average consumer who takes pride in their vehicle and want to do some of the repairs themselves. So I test things to see if the tips, tricks, and products work as described. These things may work for some and not others, but I will share with you how they worked for me.
Along with testing things, I will provide you with auto tips I already know works and a few interesting car facts.
Please subscribe to this channel and discover my findings. I also have a DIY Auto How-to channel and my vlog channel. Check those out too below.
That makes me confident...i'll try it on my 18 hp lawnmower engine...finding a new engine absolutely sucks since it seems that there not many of them out there in the www...its funny ...every fucking may either my car lets me down or something else that i need every day..my stuff hates me
Back in 1986 my dad let his tractor freeze up. an old a/c it cracked the block on the side about four inches long I cleaned it up real good an ground a little right in the crack.i cut a little line at each end of the crack an filled it in with jb weld it never leaked again an he drove it another 20 years still holding when he sold it in the auction. Trust me I'm a believer just take the time to do a good job on the prep work an it will hold it's amazing.
Great! Found the vid, as I'd stumbled on the other one, the follow up vid... Gonna fix the crack in the cast iron oil pan in the 7740 Ford tractor... using JB Weld!
I knew a guy with a really old car that never had paint that ever faded or chipped. The owner said he only hand washed it with baby shampoo for twenty years.
Here’s some tricks for using a Preval: 1) spray alcohol through it to clear the mechanism before putting any paint in. 2) make sure your paint is thinned to a skim milk consistency. 3) strain the paint well before adding. 4) be patient, spraying with several very thin coats, keeping the sprayer moving and not too close, to avoid drips. 5) if it spatters, do not use, switch to another Preval. I hope that helps, I use Prevals all the time for different types of applications. I’ve never tried it for an automotive repair.
Nice video covering some of the basics! Thank you brother for sharing your knowledge. I'm not a auto body guy but I did just pick up some spoons and a couple dollies. So I needed some advice on how to make things better not worse lol as I put my Tacoma into the wall a while back and it left some dents in the bed of the truck. Keep up the good work!
This stuff is AWESOME!!! Just dont trust the QUICK drying version. Isn't worth a damn. I've used JB weld on LOTS of stuff. Including... gluing a radiator back together on an Acura Integra that overheated and busted. The JB weld held so great.... the car overheated again weeks later.... but the radiator busted in a totally DIFFERENT spot. The JB weld held while radiator overheated with extreme pressure that time!!! Crazy stuff for sure!!!!
Hi, from Argentina, I have a Mercury 135Hp 2-stroke with a crack in the block.I want to try fix it with this product. You made it un 2013, how is now de engine?.-
Its all in the prep. Clean clean clean! I used it on magnesium motorcycle cases after I threw a chain. It lasted 10 yrs on a motocross bike ridden hard.
I repaired a Cummins ISM cracked block with JBW behind the engine starter on driver side That was 4 years 215k miles ago and the engine still running strong without leaks. Awesome product. I strongly recommend it.
Thanks for this valuable information! Got a small spot on my car, that I was going to use touch up paint on, but I figure I might as well go ahead and do it right.
Didn't like the Prevail paint system and got the You Can this week didn't like it either don't want to keep using reusable aerosol spray cans nomore better off with a paint gun or a aerosol spray can that not refillable.
I've a tiny oil leak which I think I've found where AC compressor is bolted to crankcase . Just changed my oil and filter . I'll make sure before trying anything . Tiny since I think it goes down very slowly just annoying . Yeah I hit something very hard . Possibly a problem if it still leaking when I try using permex / JB weld grey or black glue since it's supposed to be clean and dry ? Any helpful experiences out there ? Do I have to wait till I drain it during my next oil change ?
I think the technique and process he showed are spot on. I do think addition red paint in the area was needed and that is likely because the reducer/blender may have thinned out the color a little too much. But great video otherwise on a subject nobody tries to tackle. Most painters are like paint the whole thing blah blah blah because their afraid. Trial and error is how people learn
My 350 sbc block cracked below exhaust about to fix mine the new k&w lime green bottle to run through coolant works great but I'm not big on mixtures in my motor good luck
If you have mouth sores another solution to try is acidophilus. It is a good bacteria that is naturally found in your mouth and your gut, it comes in pill form or liquid. Put this on the mouth sore and within 24 hours you will see an improvement. My son had mouth sores and the doctor burnt off the first one, I swore I would never put a child through that again so I went to the health food store and was able to get this and it worked fantastic.
