God bless you sir. You are one of the smartest people I know on the entire youtube! You have taught me soooooo many things. I wish you were president. You have common sense, and also intelligence and wisdom. I am an "okay" mechanic. I can do some small things. replace timing belts, fuel injectors, things like that, and yeah when you take the fuel rail off, the injectors tend to break...I had no idea it was 2500 psi OMG! Also you like the KISS method of cars. Keep it simple stupid.....The best cars I have had were a 1972 340 cuda, and a 2004 Dodge Ram Rumblebee Hemi, and yes they were both modifed. I was in the Army 2 years and then National Guard 5 years. Then underground mining 17 years. My IQ is 120-158 depending on the test. I also build my own computers for friends and family.

In my case, I honestly usually save time repairing things myself vs bringing it to a shop. Not only do I have 80% on the cost, I also don't have to go without my car for an entire week while it sits on their lot due to poor scheduling. Maybe it's just where I live but it is nearly impossible to drop your vehicle off for ANY kind of service and expect to see it back within a week. The last time I ever went to a crap mechanic was over 10 years ago. Dropped off my truck and drove by in a borrowed vehicle everyday for work and my truck just sat there parked in the lot. They took 2 WEEKS to even touch my truck and then did a crap job and wanted $3,600 for the work. Truly, I could have done all of the work they did for about $300, a full weekend and a 750 of Vodka. If I ever am lucky enough to find somebody like Scotty, I will change my mind but for now I'll never trust somebody to touch my truck or hold it hostage for weeks

Gdi systems have 2 pumps. One in the tank and a high pressure one driven by the camshaft. Pressures in some systems approach 600 bar (8000 psi) and can actually compress the fuel due to the bulk modulus of gasoline. The designs need to be similar to diesel fuel systems which deal with fuel pressures greater than 25,000 psi. The science is well established to make these systems robust. I like to see vehicles get 200,000 miles on them.

Now, that's a niche market, but I love the idea of taking old cars, and at least semi-restoring them (rust, rubber, pllastic, etc.) and selling them. And, with today's technology, I'd also like to replace the engine and transmission in them with a motorcycle engine driving a generator, a battery pack, and an electric motor. A simple frame, body, and drivetrain that's cheap and easy to work on, with a new ICE/electric hybrid powering the whole thing. If I ever get the chance, I'll do it.

Great videos, wish you were close to me, would have you figure out what no one else can with my car, right curves on interstate hear rumble and vibration from left front, but only when weather is cold, front end tie rids replaced, wheel bearings replaced, struts replaced. 2011 Hyundai Elantra, 307,000 miles on it, original engine and transmission

Right now 2023, fixing $2500 is cheaper than buying a new or used eoonomy car, from any maker, assuming it will get another 200,000mi after its repaired and nothing else is failing as Scotty presents it. Since it was well care for, the original owner has gone through what needed fixing, like the valve covers, whereas a new car, new problems are still unknown and a used car, you hope the previous owner did not abuse it so issues appear, some months after its been bought.

It beats looking around for an electric outlet you can use for 24 hours.
