    I will never understand why the military and government in general doesn't still produce these kind of instructional videos for a whole range of subjects - technical or otherwise. Good visuals, clear/simple instructions, an explanation of why something must be done and how to get it done - just good, solid teaching. Such videos, made in a standard format, using experts in various fields for guidance, with no music or over the top nonsense to distract students, would be invaluable to those who are largely able to teach themselves how to do things with a little visual aid and clear explanation. As thankful as I am for modern RUclips instruction videos, their quality varies wildly. On the other hand, these old WWII training films always explain things so well and at such a basic level that it's difficult to misunderstand or miss something.

      It may be because the military leadership is too focused on WOKE stupidy that eventually will destroy the US. We get what we vote for.

      @@alro2434 Those were GMC's Or Chevrolet 6's -Overhead valve since the 1920's. Most other military truck gasoline engines of the era were side valve engines. But a weakness (which was later remedied) was the low pressure oil pump which pumped oil into troughs placed under the big ends of the con rods, which had little dippers which picked up oil as they rotated through the troughs,shooting it up through a drilling, to the big end bearing. The oil pressure was only about 8 lbs/ sq in max.

    Had a old car, and a common misconception was for older engines, you had a higher rating oil viscosity as it meant oil could not in theory flow as easy past the worn oil rings into head and be burnt by the spark plug in the combustion chamber. This was more thought after in hotter climates as in Australia in summer in the 1990s. An easy way to check for oil leaks in combustion chamber was put your hand over the exhaust pipe and either get hand dirty from unburnt oil, or see blue smoke in exhaust. Now it all synthetic oil, recommended grade and so called mandatory oil changes every 5,000 or 10,000 km. Another thing was a clogged air filter with worn oil rings meant your engine ended up breathing through PVC valve and would quickly use up the oil in the sump as it tried to source sufficient air from elsewhere. The PCV valve sat on rocker cover meant to circulate unburnt gases that leaked past the oil ring seals.

    With a Ford 390 4-barrel carb engine.

    Tight tolerances,direct injection, and higher output smaller engines demand that maintenance be strictly followed today as it was in the past. I've seen alot of newer vehicles with variable valve timing suffer because of sludge and carbon buildup causing them to not function correctly. It's also become commonplace for cheap filter manufacturers to build subpar filters that do a very poor job at protecting your engine.

      Your engine will not reach proper operating temp and increase fuel consumption and improper combustion without a thermostat.

    • @RuralTowner
      @RuralTowner Год назад +1

      @@davidyoung8521 Depends on the climate. But you can gut the thermostat then reinstall where it will then serve as a flow limiter. More than if the T-stat were intact but less than if missing entirely. In the SW desert of AZ an older vehicle (mainly carbureted) you still get up to temp pretty quick in the summer & as long as your fan//wp//rad are in good shape you never have to worry about heating issues. In the winter (same area) you still reach temp just takes about 1/2 again as long & cab heater won't work quite as great for awhile.
      Newer vehicles relying on finer control by inputs from the various sensors will tend to want to keep things running hotter. In a pinch the T-stat can be omitted for the short term (if you can get to it that is) until replaced.

      @setoman1 Год назад

      @@9ZERO6 Not by a longshot. A true “explosion” must be capable of generating a blast wave in atmospheric air. A wave of highly compressed gas, followed by a gradient of low pressure (vacuum). Gasoline, or any other petroleum distillate, is physically (and chemically) incapable of producing such an effect. Not without the container (or cylinder) rupturing with it. But in that case, the gasoline STILL has not exploded, the container did.
