let me just adjust my tinfoil hat. There we go. Videos like this don't come around very often as there's a huge narrative to get rid of the combustion engine.
The level of detail you went into is perfect, you left nothing out, on just a bare block!. This is what car nerds want, you're gonna have every nerd subscribed in no time if you keep this up!. Beginner or experienced, everyones loves this much detail. I knew 99% of what you said, but I was hooked cause the camera quality is great, your explanations and voice are spot on, it's super refreshing!
If you're the sort of person that wants 17 minutes of talk about engine blocks, then jump on over to the website where you'll find 16 hours of videos that go into this amount of detail on the whole car. www.howacarworks.com/video-course
Fix your app on the appstore please, because people have paid for your videos and don't get the videos. So right now I'm not going to risk spending a dime on it! Thanks
Sir ! i am a Chemical Engineer but the selection of your words and the Pronunciation Is excellent. Its quite easy to understand , the way you explain . Please don't stop making videos like that
Love the relaxed, organic style of this - weirdly, I actually like the fact that you haven't written an exact script and so have the occasional "um"and "err" in there: for me, it makes it much more informal and therefore a lot easier to watch - I concentrate and learn more from what you're saying, because it sounds like you're just plucking the information out of the air.
Damn I just found your channel through recommended, I wish you would upload more, I've been wanting to properly find out/learn about car engines/how cars work in general, and your video style is exactly what I was looking for.
Wow, finally a video is released! I loved the depth of explanations and comparisons between this one, old and modern versions of engines. The speaker is great. Keep up the great work, cannot wait for the next one!
+Daniel Kraut Thanks Daniel!! We’ve got six hours of video like this in the course but only a few parts will go onto RUclips - we need to fund the rest of production somehow!
Keep it up, sir. As a buyer of the course and a subscriber here, I just want to say the whole howacarworks.com project is a labour of love. I'm learning, and carrying the new ideas and concepts into my own wrenching. This is a fantastic course for anyone who desires to pick up a lot of the fine basic (and advanced) details, as well as stark beginners on their way to mastery. Two thumbs up.
Great video for people that are new into cars and high-performance enthusiasts, no crazy music, exaggerated voice, just clean and informative, plain simple and straight forward information!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Just getting into cars; I literally know nothing. RUclips is filled with crappy content and poor explanations that have left me feeling like I know less than when I started the video. So THANK YOU for putting in the time/effort to detail everything impeccably!!
I subscribed halfway because of the excellent information, halfway because of the information delivery, and another halfway because you never asked me to.
I wanna thank you for being the teacher i sadly never had. Just before I got into high school, my school district cancelled their auto shop so everything I’ve had learned has been from RUclips and self taught. And this is the only video I have found that goes straight into depth and detail about the engine
Thanks for uploading this! Watched some of the sample videos on your website and will be paying to watch them all soon! Your excitement and passion for cars and teaching makes you adorable and fun to watch! I came here after visiting the mechanic today to service my husbands car. Mechanic said the engine mounts all needed replacing as apparently the engine was moving when it shouldn't be - I felt dumb I had know idea what he was on about. So good to know that next time I visit the mechanic (once I finish watching your videos), I will be able to completely understand him :)
I just learned a semester worth of studying by just watching this 17-minute video. If i have to watch all the videos, that would be worth a doctorate degree, and still these videos are far more understandable than any indoor discussion 😂😂
Greetings, Mr. Alex Muir, I am Divyansh Sharma, and I love your video course. I’m a man who wants to learn about cars and spend my life with them, and this video course is really, for me at least, the bridge to a life of automotive excitement. I love how you go into extreme detail about everything, and explain it with all your heart. It’s really helpful for car enthusiasts like me, who want to go into cars, but know a fraction of what there is to know before you can pop the hood and get to work. I especially love those little bits of humour you include in the middle, they really brightens things up. I admire how you really know what you’re doing, which gives me, and I’m pretty sure everyone else, confidence, that we won’t screw things up when we try to do something as little as change the oil. Since I love your course so much, I ask (in the best way possible): When can I get to see the rest of it? You explaining gearboxes, differentials, and with your amazing 3d graphics, the braking system, the power steering, and suspension. I really admire what you’re doing, which is why I’m so excited to see the rest of your magic. Thank you so much for taking time to read this, and I hope you’ll get back to me soon. Regards, Divyansh Sharma
I paid for this course when they were just starting out and I have to say i'm extremely impressed. Every video is very detailed and well produced; easy to follow along and he has a somewhat calming voice which is a plus. I highly suggest paying for the video course if you're interested. Well worth the money in my opinion. Videos are also uploaded in 4K which is really great for those that use it.
Great video. The oil jets at 10:40 are for cooling underneath the exhaust side of the pistons. The intake sides have a constant influx of cool intake air.
¡Wow! You are and excellent professor. The mechanical is my passion and my degree, and I work in an University (as a Dean) in my country. I am so impressed by the quality of your video. Congratulations!... Please, excuse my poor English skill.
Thank you so much for this detailed video, im in quarantine and also in engines class. So Im not able to attend school and the textbook can only provide only so much info. This video helped me understand the components and functions visually
I'm amazed how this gentleman explained everything, but I'm more amazed how part by part everything was thought of and discovered .... o-o hmm ...... amazing. Ty for the awesome video.
11:45 bearing caps are cast separately, certainly not cut off the main block casting. The mating surfaces are machined and they are placed together before the final crank hole machining.
Most professional attitude ever seen in this type of videos! Popular mechanics brought me there, also I learn about engines in a mechanical engineering study right now. Can you tell us, what your background is? ;) Wish you a big success!
I believe they're called freeze plugs because you soak them in dry ice or liquid nitrogen, "freezing them" and then you press them in while extremely cold. When it warms back up to ambient temperature, you have an excellent seal.
I don't usually like, comment and subscribe. But here I am, liking, commenting and subscribing on the first video I've seen where I've not been told to like, comment and subscribe.
The jets pointing up at the cylinder have to restricted for two reasons. The first is to maintain oil pressure the other is so that oil comes out in a spray rather than a stream. The Main Bearing Caps on cast iron blocks are cast as a seperate piece, machined and then sawn apart by a set of cutters that literally look like circular saw blades. On modern aluminum engines the caps are typically made from a powdered metal in a sintering process. These typically have 4 or 6 bolts.
The only bit of misinformation was regarding the main caps. they are not typically cast with the block. They are usually forged and the grain pattern runs lengthwise. The block and caps are machined to fit one another and the main bore is cut and honed. Besides that, great and simple explanation for anyone at any level.
Extremely high-quality video, so useful. I'm not rich at all but $33 course actually seems like a bargain for what this guy is providing. I'm doing mechanical engineering and I'm not interested in automotives but I'll probably end up watching them in my break.
it´s a Miata block ! from the NB i think............ i saw all videos from the beginning stripping the MX5 ,very cool ,now i hope you rebuilt the car............. Alex you are my hero !
i HAVE bought the course in fact. and I'm pretty sure I watched them more than 6 months ago? still the lastest is "rear suspension" and I'm not seeing "new ones" every week. do you have a mail for customer support?
sorry I figured out the issue, the vides are NOT in date order so the lastest are neither at the top or the bottom, a little confusing. last email update i have is 19 february, before that 19 december. not exactly every week but still good enough XD
Can't beat the cast iron blocks if you want longevity. I specifically bought a 2022 4 banger Tacoma because it's one of the last cast iron block 2TR-FE powered Toyotas that will ever be made. Heavy , slow? Yeah but I will get 350,000 miles out of it.
My first car was a 2001 Ford Taurus that has a cast iron V6. Its not a powerful car, but it was reliable in the nearly 4 years I had it. I gave it to my aunt in Mexico several years ago and is still running strong on the original engine and transmission. Last I heard, it had over 239k miles and still runs fine.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us, you good Sir! not too rich, not too lean just the optimal, so we can all absorb everything you said. Good Job Sir!
Awesome video!! Can you do one on “everything about sport tyres” or something. Where you talk about ultra high performance tyres vs extreme summer performance vs semi slicks etc
I've always wondered 2 things about the plugs. 1) Why not simply braze or weld them closed (and yes, I know.... you can't weld cast. Until someone shows you how). 2) on billet blocks, do they omit this and simply use long drills to go from point A to B, intersecting where needed and threading a plug to cap where needed? Worked on my fair share of ice cubes (frozen engines where the owners forgot they only used water that summer), so I usually find the plugs in tact and block broken. About the only thing I've seen good about them is block heater..... till they leak.
I think the nomenclature for 'freeze plug' may just come from the original designs being put in by freezing the plugs and installing them cold. Then, they expand to an interference fit. At least we used similar terminology on other engine designs that were shrink fit.
Thank you, no gimmicks, no crappy music, no begging for subscribers, just good information. You nailed it.

Love the relaxed, organic style of this - weirdly, I actually like the fact that you haven't written an exact script and so have the occasional "um"and "err" in there: for me, it makes it much more informal and therefore a lot easier to watch - I concentrate and learn more from what you're saying, because it sounds like you're just plucking the information out of the air.

This is a wonderful world of experience and gaining knowledge am very impressed
What a great channel. Thank you!
I don't how I haven't seen this yet after watching these much car videos. But great video anyway.!
Hi! Excellent video, excellent explanation, no flows. Keep the great job!!
Hell yea I was thinking that as well.
I've always wondered 2 things about the plugs. 1) Why not simply braze or weld them closed (and yes, I know.... you can't weld cast. Until someone shows you how). 2) on billet blocks, do they omit this and simply use long drills to go from point A to B, intersecting where needed and threading a plug to cap where needed? Worked on my fair share of ice cubes (frozen engines where the owners forgot they only used water that summer), so I usually find the plugs in tact and block broken. About the only thing I've seen good about them is block heater..... till they leak.
You absoulotely deserve my subscription. And a LIKE 😉😉
I think the nomenclature for 'freeze plug' may just come from the original designs being put in by freezing the plugs and installing them cold. Then, they expand to an interference fit. At least we used similar terminology on other engine designs that were shrink fit.
im here to see this channel goes big..really big..
