@All_I_can_say_is_Wow more like a seizure you mean? If I'm not mistaken chronic Ethanol abuse does increase the likelihood of suffering a stroke, but someone please correct me on that if I'm wrong
@@gamemeister27 You can’t be serious. I said “on RU-vid”, not just this video. I know it will be the best on this video, that is obvious lol you didn’t have to point out what everyone knows
The goober: survived multiple murder attempts and ol mate fixes with strict $0 investment policy Bruce: blown piston rings while getting proper maintenance
I heard a theory of limited maintenance years ago: if you start fixing things that don't desperately need fixing, the car will just assume you got money and time to spare and throw everything at you. Don't fix what is still running 😅
I do pretty much everything with an impact 😂 doing axel nuts with an impact it’s a daily occurrence 😂 get the big high torque. Couple seconds and you’re fine
Nah, the oil couldn't leak into the cylinder through the spark plug seal, because, you know, otherwise there wouldn't be any compression to speak of regardless of what the piston rings were up to.
Yo those impact ratings are 1. Pulled out of a marketing major's ass 2. Generally for reverse only Torque Test Channel does a lot of great work testing impacts
Yea, luckily that's a bolt that just needs to be tight enough to not come undone without being so tight it strips. Since it's so large it can probably handle a good bit more than the torque spec, so going full fuck it isn't likely to cause problems.
@@gamemeister27True true. Depends if James knew to check the forward torque instead of the reverse torque, you can find specs for both on most Milwaukee tools.
I have confidence in James. He's far more practiced and knowledgeable than most mechanics I've known, including myself obviously. I'm only just now getting into cars, electronics repair is my profession.
Something to try before giving up on Bruce as a bandaid: Add some Berryman B12 into the cylinder with the plug and coil removed, let it sit for 6-12 hours, turn it over without the plug in to push the fluid out, and then re-test. It won't FIX the problem completely, but if it's a ring that is stuck, the Berryman can clean the soot off the ring and free it up to restore compression.
I'm offended that the Goober can survive an engine full of hazelnuts while Bruce dies from such a basic fault. There really is zero justice in this world
1:59 I always find it so funny when people are like "do a James face reveal" (either on here or james' channel) when it's never been a secret. The nuggets where just always more interesting.
I remember once going to pick up my car from my mechanic after having a wheel bearing changed and, under the lift where he was working on it, there was an impact driver and socket set, two differently sized breaker bars, three differently sized hammers, a large chisel and an acetylene torch. Now I know what he was doing with those...
"Oh nice, genuine monkey wrench. And it's heaps cheap," "Oh so they do exist! Maybe I could get one for my TF2 Engineer cosplay I've been thinking of for years" "seven hundred bucks" "neeeeeverfuckinmind"
only do this if you are strong. And I don't mean "I can carry all the shopping into the house in one trip" kind of strong, but "I do hard labor 5 days a week" kind of strong. These wrenches are extremely heavy and unwieldy.
I have been in a car that lost the front passenger side wheel due to wheel bearing failure. Thankfully, we were only doing 20km/hr at the time, but it was still terrifying.
When I was like 5yo I was in an F100 which lost a wheel bearing with a full load in the tray and towing a trailer. We flipped and I ended up hanging upside down unharmed. Seatbelts save lives indeed.
Personally I'd bore scope it and see if the cylinder's borkus if not, haul that piston out and see if the rings are fouled with old oil and carbon. Doesn't happen as regular with LPG with it being a lighter, cleaner burning fuel but it's not impossible!! The other option is it's been consuming a little oil and that's been building up carbon resulting in the rings fouling but uh yeah - I'd try Garage54-ing it, pull the piston out and clean it up to see if that gets it to seal again before attempting a full rebuild. Or there's always pick-a-part :)
Wow... I totally read Bruce, but my brain understood it as Goober, and I was very very upset that he died after having *_just_* being granted its freedom... Then I saw the vehicle and had a real 🤦♂️ moment! 😅😞
AU-BF falcon wheel bearings have to be some of the worst designs. They would all start to fail from the factory. Some people have had to do them as soon as 50k kms. I suspect one in my fairlane is starting to go AND IM DREADING IT
I experienced that smash repair situation earlier this year, copped a deer (had never seen one in australia before in my whole life) that ran out from the bushes into the road at 2am. Managed to get home, next appointment to take it to the repairs to get checked was a month away. A month passes and then try to take it in, something is draining the battery to flat overnight, power steering failure, abs warning light, dash intruments stop working apart from revs. My old '93 car would have shrugged that hit off with just home repairs.
it's the using the wrong tool in the right way and the "that'll do" attitude that are some of the reasons i like this channel so much, because my friends and i work on cars the same way
it is always such a joy when you do some minor repairs and all of a sudden it turns into a full day's work or in this case probably several days worth . God i am glad i quit my job as a mechanic .
I wasn't prepared for the sheer horror of hearing James going "I dont know" and "that's worst case scenario". That man has seen some shit when it comes to cars, you know its beyond dead if he says anything like that.
Yeah there's a few stations that do it in the uk but not enough for general use. It's like a third of the cost to fill up vs petrol too. Really quite annoying, since the lpg capable dacia sandero is actually cheap but decent (being a basically rebadged Renault clio)
Not so common anymore. Where I live in Queensland, there are zero petrol stations that stock it, and haven't for at least 15 years. LPG conversions were a big industry 20 years ago here, almost nobody works with it anymore
i traveled australia as a child in a Toyota Hilux that had been engine swapped to a Buick V6 that ran on petrol and LPG, apart from the backfires it was amazing and cheap.
