A True Mystery Like NOTHING You've Ever Seen Before

[@user-pq3kh3pv2l]

Been doing small engine repair for many years. Honestly thought I'd seen everything til now. That's actually pretty amazing.

[@ronbean1628]

I bet the piston went to recycle!

[@Velodynamic]

I'd bet that must have created one hell of a noice and smoke when that happened. Amazing forces ☠

[@ronaldmahoney1283]

Taryl, This is the most educational channel I have ever seen. With your expertise and knowledge and very explicit videos you have changed the world of lawn mover repair forever! Thank You so much! There is no-one like you with so much enthusiasm and quirrks of humor! Don"t ever stop!

[@corywaring7124]

I love everything you do Taryl, it’s like hanging out with my dead dad. You can do no wrong in my eyes.

[@brianagee2647]

Love your videos especially the mysteries and oddities!!! And there’s your dinner 🥘

[@jefferywalters1485]

Definitely loving the Mysteries and Oddities episodes there Mr. Dactyl!! This channel is so underrated brother. Another solid gold classic once again! Always fun and educational and particularly interesting to see these anomalies and specialties, especially for me being in the lawn industry. I started weedeating at age 7 to earn my $5 weekly allowance my folks. We had an ol corded weedeater brand electric unit. Now I'm 32 and have a small time full yard care gig that I run mainly solo. This stuff never gets old to me and you help me to grow my enthusiasm and understanding especially in regards to the mechanical and maintenance side of things! Your channel is by far my all time favorite sir!! I can't tell you how much I've learned and laughed from your absolute HBO grade bids!! And thanks to you and my Dad's help from time to time, I can honestly say that we never have had to take any of our small engines in to a shop for work and never should have to either!! That is a priceless and words can't describe the sense of pride and self sufficiency they you have helped us grassrats to achieve! Much love and Respect Taryl, from your long time big fan and subscriber. From the Oregon coast sending you seasons greetings, may you and yours have a Happy and safe rest of your Summer and beyond! Blessings and keep up the great work good buddy!

[@jimmiecatrett7371]

This was one of the best videos I've seen you do, especially the part about gouging your eyes out with a screwdriver because you've seen it all. Keep them coming.

[@boboala1]

Mysteries and oddities! Love the concept & post-mortem. '...And there’s your dinner!...'

[@Saved_The_Day]

Love the Mysteries and Oddities part of your channel! Keep em coming! Thanks Taryl!!

[@junqueboi387]

Fascinating! The Lawnmower Mysteries & Oddities videos are my favorite ones to watch actually.

[@TarylFixesAll]

More on the way!

[@michaelfink1017]

Seriously though Taryl - I think the Mysteries & Oddities videos are why we all love you guys so much. YOU are the best oddity in the realm of lawn and garden equipment. I cannot tell you how much you have helped me by keeping it fun!

[@Paullyell]

The lawn mower mysteries and oddities are amazing taryl

[@Obsidian369]

Plus you are the only one on the planet doing something like this, with this kind of style, idea and dynamic Taryl! Its educational, entertaining, creative, and fun to watch !

[@raymondsprengelmeyer1278]

I love the mysteries and oddities, and the rest of your work!

[@dandearman2871]

Bring it on. I always like a good mystery. I've worked in industrial maintenance for over 40 years and mystery is what it's all about.

[@arlynking1300]

You bet, love these Mysteries and Oddities revealing things that don't happen often gives viewers valuable insights for future repairs. Wealth of knowledge counts so keep it up Taryl love what you do here.

[@zacharyjohnson377]

Taryl, Lawn mower mystery and oddities are my favorite episodes. Love all of your content for us true grass rats. I am also a small engine mechanic. Wow Had a hunch on what happened and you just confirmed it.

[@billgolcher2537]

I actually did figure what you said but did not believe that the cylinder and piston had that kind of room to pull the valve in that far in that was an awesome find great video

[@Obsidian369]

We LOVE lawnmower mysteries and oddities!! I didnt think the stroke was long enough for the whole valve to drop out and fit in that piston chamber area before the piston returns on the upstroke... Wow man, just wow!

[@BMPWR]

Lawn Mower Mysteries & Oddities is a great series! Thank you for making all of the videos!

[@paulh1728]

Yes, always look forward to more mysteries and oddities Taryl!!!!

[@MarkEye-r5d]

Yes I love the things you come up with ,by showing us the things from the past.

[@sledrelics]

That's what's called dropping a valve. In a racing mower that's happened to me. High rpm and valve float ,not enough spring tension, drops the keepers and then a lot of bad noises. In a stock engine that's pretty impressive. Keep the oddities coming in. Thanks Taryl.

[@robertsmith2956]

To bad he doesn't have the turbo and blower for that mower.

[@irvinslagter8298]

You had a show on the twin cylinder engine that would get hot and the valve guide would come out and knock the rocker arm off, and bend the push rod. I have one of those. In B&S's defense, the one I have never would have given trouble if the owner would have kept the fins clean. I was packed with dirt and grass and no air could get through, hence a very hot head let the valve guide go.

[@cncbuss1]

Your unique style and approach to informing us grass rats is very entertaining. Cheers from Montreal, Canada!

[@grumpyd7569]

You remind me of my dad, you just have nicer teeth.

[@wg4405]

[@stevenb.182]

[@nutsnbolts76]

[@242sp]

Teeth like a backhoe

[@pgmurray76]

Svengoolie and Taryl Dactyl are the best living classics.

[@stevennoble8390]

Hi from Australia!

[@MrSpliff30]

That's wild man.... I've seen plenty of engines that floated a valve..but when that happens, Usually the combustion chamber(head,seat,piston face,and of course,the valve) take the brunt of the damage..never..NEVER,in 35+ years of repair,have I ever seen one push the valve stem physically through the casting of the head...and so cleanly at that.. gives the term "perfect timing" a whole new meaning.😂...I honestly can't believe the valve didn't shatter and really didn't bend the stem that much, considering how fast of a strike it took..Wish you would have shown us the block it came off of......But,keep these videos coming.. they're pretty cool...

[@_RocketRooster]

Keep'em coming Taryl, love these oddities!

[@pootthatbak2578]

Holy punctured head Batman!

[@JohnHappelFullMastHap]

Man!!!! Everytime I watch its something cool!!!! I figured it was the spring retainers but waited till the end, Thanks Taryl for another great video!!!!

[@BigBlock-wf3mh]

That cylinder head is a “Keeper”, ha, get it Grass Rats. 😃

[@robertsmith2956]

A little LumyWeld and it will be good as new. Little love tap will have that valve breathing again.

[@MartinParsons-tr6wi]

Very interesting, must be an unusual failure mode, at least I hope it is very uncommon! I like this kind of video! Please make more!

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing.👍

[@lincolnlandpicker]

Mysteries and Oddities are great. Keep'em comin'

[@bobmcl2406]

I wonder if the worn/displaced valve guide allowed the rocker arm to push on the side if the spring cap. That might allow one of the keepers to move a little sideways. I'm any case, this is one of the coolest mysteries I have seen. And it definitely deserves a place in the museum. Cheers from Canada.

[@mikejerrett7354]

Yes these oddity videos are fun and very interesting 😊

[@Dono-eg6cg]

U are a true lawnmower detective taryl ! ...love the oddities & skits. And just seeing your handsome face.

Keep it coming Taryl-the content is great!
