@@LBJshowedmehisJThis is the first I’ve heard of that etymology, but I can see it making sense, as someone from the US state of Georgia, the “Goober State” (though it’s still known for peaches more so). Also the home of Jimmy Carter, the recent centenarian, who took his family’s peanut farm into agribusiness before he went into politics.
james can do just about anything, he can fix pretty much any videogame console ever made, he can shove a whole game console inside of one of its own cartridges and make it play itself, he can make a gameboy use a crt as its display, he can crush metal tools by accidentally stepping on them, he can bring a dead lightbulb back to life when by all logic it shouldnt have been able to function anymore, thats only like 0.01% of what he has done over the years... this man can do so much unimaginable stuff so i dont think necromancy is something thats off the table for his list of skills.. but one thing is for certain, we all need a james in our life.
Something broke inside me when I spent 20 minutes watching you being very careful and cleaning the engine, taking precautions and then the next frame is just dumping back pepsi into it; I can’t lmao
It's like 2 surgeons shot a person in the legs, forced them to walk, then started multiple surgeries to save them, all while wondering why they can't walk anymore
This series has been 20x better than any car ad ever could be. You replaced its blood with poison, thrashed its bearings, reused a _head gasket,_ tightened wonky bolts to questionable spec and yet all it needed was oil stabilizer. That's... I can't put into words how baffling that is.
We don't know how much James costs, but I'm sure that's at least competitive with his real job, where he doesn't get to put Nutella in people's engines.
Probably about comparable for initial purchase price. Brand new tech ranges between like $500-$4000 USD, most of Wades cars range between $0-$5000 USD. Except Wade usually ends up sinking a lot of cash into repairs, so at the end of the day he’s probably paying a little bit more.
@@panickedshears He promised not to buy new parts for the Goober tho (aside from, obviously, oil, oil filter, pepsi...). The greatest difference is work hours, I'd say that if you were to guess they put in 10x the time in the goober than Zack does for a phone, it still would be a low guess
The sheer amount of panic I'm having over this dumb little nugget car when James was tightening the bolts is unmatched. The nervous giggling from Wade is the cherry on top.
I can't believe you guys abused the goober car back into functionality after basically destroying it beyond what most sane mechanics would go to fix a car. I also love that James decided to fully go for it and see what happens with the reused bolts and impact driver. James just going mad with power that he'd otherwise professionally never do
@@masterkamen371He also uses that march they named in honor of the short-reigning Kaiser Friedrich III, which I spent forever trying to find not knowing its name. Maybe it’s easier for him because the recordings are at least a century old (generally) and thus tend to more relate to WWI. I would like to know the names of some of the other marches, including if there are any British, Australian, or American ones (which there probably are). Rarely does RU-vid auto-detection throw us a bone like they did here for one.
That headgasket is a champ , holding 200psi on most cylinders is insane. Cant believe the goober lives crazy people redo an engine so careful and precise,then start it up and it be junk but this car is healed flawlessly
I'm honestly jealous of James. I'm pretty much certain that every professional mechanic dreams of just doing the opposite of every industry practice just to see what happens. At least, I do.
@@DiamondKingStudios Right? That car was damned from the moment the contract was signed. The only thing keeping it from being the next test subject is its black and tan
@@Oregonjoe90 In ten years, it will have reached the age where some millionaire Mercedes enthusiast will want to buy it from Wade for static display in his museum or private collection, and that’s the only fate it deserves. It’s a beautiful car, but it shouldn’t be out on the road.
@@esven9263 I may be wrong but I believe a similar concept is used in the injectors of many steam engines. Can anyone back this up / correct me? Is certainly an interesting concept
People turbo the CamPros and they can make silly power, usually in the Satria Neos in Malaysia. Malaysians simply persevere when it comes to their mighty national car.
Glad to see James smiling again, it's a pleasure to see Wade maintain a healthy fun/working on a CLS balance. I can see the valve head was torqued down to German specifications: guten tight.
@@oilybrakes I don't know how the sugar would have reacted with the oil but it dissolves in water, so it's no longer solid or abrasive. The cocoa powder might be a similar situation, but seems more likely to cause real trouble.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio The sugar will not react with the oil, but it will caramelize due to the heat. Thus, crystalizing, coating everything and basically getting into all the same spots as the cocoa powder and the nuts.
"customer states the car has been having some issues ever since they replaced coolant with pepsi and oil with Nutella, mostly runs though. Customer seems peeved at the car's continued survival"
I love how you guys are going through all this effort and still using the old head gasket which can undo all your work, meaning you'll have to rebuild again.
As a mechanic I was getting anxiety watching your guys pushing it to the higher torque. Its not like i’ve ever known the feeling of snapped bolts before lol
4:36, and this is the moment that made me decide, i dont think i wanna be a mechanic like dear old dad. Now that i think about it, maybe he's bald because of how often you're stuck tearing your hair out over tools that won't cooperate
James' full name is actually James Frankenstein with a master degree in necromancy attained by working with a rural sketchy car-salesman. The twitching corpse has had the bile and necrosis pulled out from it, and was meticulously patched together from its previously decaying parts.
7:30 I have a friend who used to do bogan repair on bores like this with some shitty powerdrill and a roll of sandpaper. He had a tuned 50cc motorcycle and he repaired the same block 3 tiles that way.
Its either the lotus designed engine or itll be some old fashioned engine with all the added tech to make emission friendly like fuel injection. Older stuff tends to be bullet proof. For example ford did a 1.3 petrol and they were used up until early 2000s from around the 70s. A guy we bought a car off run a scrap yard and said they would banger them in the yard after draining the oil. Theyd run then heat seize, leave to cool down and would go again. I would assume this is why this emgine can take it. I may be wrong but i cant see a modern engine handling the abuse.
Usually everything in a mechanics shop is slick as F because of all the oil on every surface. Not in this shop, everything is Sticky as F instead from Pepsi and Nutella. Lmao.
The Goober! Like a little boy that never wants to give up even though he is puffing and wheezing, his little heart isn’t 100% but he doesn’t want to disappoint Dad 1 & Dad 2.
Seeing yall treat a car like a toy is both insane and amazing at the same time, I dont know how to feel lol, but I am watching it like a train wreck. Seeing James do his magic is shocking. Keep up the good work... for lack of better words lol
Man this was such a roller coaster of emotions for me. -Taking the engine apart: a bit worried. -Inspecting the pistons: "that looks bad." -Reusing the head gasket: rather uncomfortable. -Reusing the *head bolts*: straight anxious, like I was legitimately stressed out at the thought of the bolts snapping, and that part went on for ages, too :( -Using an impact wrench on the head bolts: "NooOooOOoO" :O -Return of bunnings bolts: yay, bunnings again :) -Bunnings bolts acting weird: hmmm?? -Putting pepsi in again: yeah, we're so back! Let's goo -Utilising silicon on the top cover again: hm, I guess it worked the last couple of times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Adding oil pressure gauge: "very interesting..." -oil pressure exists: hooray -goober overheats on test drive: "oh man, I hope it just suffers from too little pepsi" -oil stabiliser and moar pepsi: "yeeaa, that's more like it" and the goober just works now??? hahaha Like seriously, this was more exciting than some movies that I've watched, I'm actually emotionally invested in the Goober Saga now lol. I'm sure the music selection, timing, and overall editing style play a big part in achieving that, too. Thanks for making these videos
I can't even say that the Pepsi caused any of this, this seems to be entirely a Nutella issue Edit: THEY ADDED MORE PEPSI TO IT... AND IT FIXED THE GOOBER'S OVERHEATING WTF
The goober is like when u go to the dentist and they say you have no cavities whilst u have been eating nothing but sweets for the last year but somehow you're fine
The Goober needs to live. It needs to be like a Lada on Garage 54... used and abused, but somehow still repaired enough to keep going for new experiments... forever.
If the oil passages to the head are blocked (with Nutella) the hydraulic lifters will not be appropriately filled with pressurized oil. It will result in the lifters ticking so loud you think it's piston slap.
