@@JeeGee114 yea I’ll have to get those gaskets done but for now I just keep an eye on my oil and top it up.

Found out the technician stripped the cam bolt on each side and the "alignment" he had done moved the instant he put it back on the ground.

Hard to believe that people let expensive machinery (cars, Trucks, etc.) get to such bad shape. All owners' manuals show what the proper maintenance should be.
It would be nice to know what ended up happening to the squirrel babies if you know? Did they get returned to their parents, sent to a rescue centre...? I'd hate if they weren't properly dealt with and just left somewhere.
Oil change? Whadaya mean I need an oil change? It was fine when I bought it! (50,000+ miles ago) Seriously, though, those rusted out truck rims irritated the hell out of me because a decent set of new steelies isn't that expensive compared to wrongful death lawsuits when the idiot kills someone because the wheel came apart on the highway.
Possibly the same reason we drive on the right side of the road, and why our carousels turn left- the Brits did it one way, so we do the opposite. Just kidding, really. I really don’t know why we don’t have inspections as rigorous as your MOTs.
@@j.w.3345 Yeah, I agree with that but the fact remains that most people just toss the whole machine. I'm a scrapper, you wouldn't believe how many still running riding mowers I picked up after the first big stimulus checks came out.
@@j.w.3345 Absolutely correct JW! I used to use that garbage gasahol in my small engines and had nothing but problems. Now I drive out of my way to get the the non-ethanol gas and that fixed about 90% of my problems in my small engines. These little engines were never designed to deal with ethanol
@@GrnXnham We converted some small gas engines to run on methanol for model aircraft. (allows you to remove the ignition system so lighten engine) To get the engine to run it requires re-jetting the carb as the mixture ratio changes. Fuel injection with computer can compensate but a carb can't
it's unbelievable that in america you're allowed to drive a car without having any knowledge. these are heavy machines and you really need a thorough training for that. but no, learning from mommy and daddy is so much better. idiots at the wheel.
It'd be nice if people actually cared about their cars. I'd put in kill switches for the fuel pump that goes "up up down down left right left right b a" in the sequence.
Automatic transmissions are one reason. My Alfa Romeo, for instance, is very near neutral handling in a downshift when driven enthusiastically, but has some understeer when braking hard, so I like downshifting. But there’s no downshift option on most American vehicles.
@@kennethjackson7574 that’s not a reason why Americans destroy brakes, shortly the grinding noise as the fools push the brake pedal indicates their is a problem that requires some attention.
@@kennethjackson7574 brake pads yes but the number on RUclips with discs gone, discs broken, callipers smashed, you can’t put that down to anything other than clueless drivers, nothing to do with automatic transmissions.
@@MICHAEL-ys3pu In my military career there were four maintenance philosophies. They weren’t competing, they were selected for each piece of machinery. System-Based, where available backups, redundancies, or cross-connects were available. Condition-Based: laser alignment checks, vibration data collection and analysis, flow-checking things like pumps. Preventative Maintenance, based on hours of use, calendar based days/weeks/etc. And then there was RTF- Run To Failure, and yes, that was sometimes chosen for non-mission-critical items. Some individuals in such videos chose RTF for their brakes.
In the state these "drivers" leave these cars it's excellent to steal these cars for scraps and whatever can be used by anyone who cares about his car's condition.
And I have a 65 Healey 3000 and its all original equipment so take care of your car and it will take you where you want to go. 57 years and its all good although I'm restricted mileage insured at 150.00 dollars a year but I care for it very well.😁😎.
Once again Nickelodeons slime attacks, what a horror movie plot "ATTACK OF THE SLIME LUBRICANT"!!! Never mind the corpse in the fender well just put air in the tire? 🤔. Ok Mr. Gotti! 😘 of death for some?
I havn't tried silly putty brand oil before, but after watching this I might try. It clearly lasts until the end of the engine's life...
Conveniently that's about 5 minutes after adding silly putty oil. I think Wally World has it on sale in 5W30.
@@DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579 just looked it up... $8 weeks kind of steep for a 5qt jug but at least they throw in the oil filter for free
Some of those photos of what’s in the crankcase remind me of Caterpillar final drive oil. Cold, it would barely flow. SAE 300.
My cars 20 years old and the only problem it has is the gaskets on the engine leak a little. I’m so shocked by the state of most these cars.
mine is 30 years old
37 years young. Brake fluid was changed last year. Every year oil change. Put some new Michelin's on in 2019. It will outlast me.

I hear you. Try to get your AC fixed. All the old ac guys who knew there shit have retired.
Hard to believe that people let expensive machinery (cars, Trucks, etc.) get to such bad shape. All owners' manuals show what the proper maintenance should be.
Owners' manuals also tell people to not drink the contents of the battery so, there you go.
Cars don't come with owner's manuals anymore. It's all on an app ( at least for ford)
Nobody ever reads the operator’s (owner’s) manual.
People are lazy and they procrastinate. Why do maintenance when you can always put it off another day?
Maybe some people don’t know how to read
The one with the rotted out rear shock tower looking for electrical work......yeah, no, take that pos from my shop and never come back.
With most of these you just have to wonder how loud do they keep the stereo?
"I'll fix it when i can't turn the radio up enough to ignore it"
yes
Possibly 11 on a 10 scale volume control
The Briggs and Stratton oil problem could be a result of their ludicrous " Check and Add " policy.
looks like it had something added to the oil to me
it won't gel like that without an additive being added. Oil itself will only get sticky/sludgy/hard (in extreme cases). Not gel up like jello.
@@philojudaeusofalexandria9556 I had oil turn like this when the engine overheated
There's always room for Jello
#2 - wow... just wow. That product placement ad for Walmart was spot-on =)
I will call the cops for something like this. This vehicle is most definitely a coffin on wheels.
That last one is actually the auto destruct sequence.
Those shaking gauges must be a Ford thing, my Sport Trac does the same thing. You have to cycle the key a few times for them to stop
0:56 Most likely caused by mixing vegetable oil into mineral oil
Last clip; 'RUN!' 💣💥

Thinking same thing 🙏
Squirrels are just rats with a fuzzy tail.
A real mechanic paid on book would shopvac that mess then get the repairs done.
thrown in the trash where they belong.
Its living on a big farm in the country, just like your childhood dog.
They got picked up by their auntie in a Mazda Tree
1:00 thats vegetable oil / cooking oil in the engine! Gels up like that every time.
Amazing to see how many muppets are using floating bearings these days.
All of them is purely owner neglect
There should be laws pertaining to vehicle abuse just like child abuse…..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some mechanics seem way too willing to finger disgusting things with their bare hands. Gloves exist for a reason
Plastic cam in the briggs at 1:25 was still minty.
That Briggs a Stratton looked like someone used oil additives instead of oil in the engine.!!😮😅
5:25 I'd check for a clothes pin and baseball card.
Bruh. My truck starts ticking with the key in my hand and I’m jumping out Ace Rothstein style !

Bet the owner is too cheap to have auto insurance. They think it is a rip off.
Last one
You're in a mission impossible car and it's set to explode in 5 ssconds
So, what was done with the baby squirrels?
prob the trash, if Im being honest.
1:12 I’ve noticed it’s putting those damn oil additives in and not changing your oil
Is that a plastic camshaft @ 1:12 on the B&S engine?
It would be nice to know what they put in the Briggs at the 1 minute.
4:15 that's because there's nothing LEFT of your brakes.
that last vehicle was like im dieing you are seeing my last heartbeats let me die
Love your videos
I'm always amazed by the mechanical nightmares from the US. Why still no MOT?
We have safety inspections, just not all states do. And some are more intensive than others
Possibly the same reason we drive on the right side of the road, and why our carousels turn left- the Brits did it one way, so we do the opposite. Just kidding, really. I really don’t know why we don’t have inspections as rigorous as your MOTs.
I hope they found a rescue to raise the baby squirrels and release them when they are old enough.
Who knew anyone even still works on Briggs ant Stratons anymore? I'm a scrapper and most people throw them out when the crappy carb gives out....
Crappy gas not crappy carbs. It's the ethanol in the gas that gums them up when they sit unused for 6 months.

Car is ticking. Look for the digital LED display. Is it counting down with less than one minute left? If so, cut the BLUE wire!
Cut the red wire last

Why do Nissan owners hate their cars so much?
They probably think they don't need maintenance because they're Japanese cars and therefore bomb proof.
Yup sounds like a Chevy alright
Some people really should really not be car owners. This is just ridiculous
