00:00 until the end!! When these two get together they bring out the inner kid in each other - in the best possible way. That’s why the only presenters ever allowed should be El Cholo Vampiros, Angie, Bob & Steph. The rest are just useless dullards in comparison. I mean that to the point where I question why the show runners keep them on the books. There’s just no comparison; the four I mentioned are on top of their game (even when some are occasionally chock-full and fully consumed by Old Nick’s Favourite Salad… 😀), whereas the others look like aggressively useless try-hards.

16:29 this is where older Subarus are awesome. The ball joint is held into the steering knuckle by a pinch bolt. They're notorious for rusting in place if you live in the rust belt. But if you get the bolt out, all you need is to push down with a pry bar on the control arm and BINK, out comes the ball joint.

21:51 For the perfect (and cheap) rust remover: 1 gallon water 13.3 ounces citric acid (from the canning aisle at your supermarket) 8.4 ounces sodium Bicarbonate (Baking soda) 1 ounce dish soap When you add the baking soda it will fizz aggressively for about 30 seconds, then add the soap and it's ready. I used this stuff in a very rusty gas tank and unlike expensive commercial removers which only seem to work for a couple hours, it kept working for a full day. And it left the interior completely clean.

3:55 There are special spray bottles with a screw top and an air valve. Fill it with carb cleaner or something, pressurise with the shop air and spray to your hearts content. Upside is that you're a lot less likely to carb clean your eyeballs that way. They're also made from steel, so they last. Buy the cleaner by the gallon or drum with a big discount and ration it out to the mechanics. Saves a lot of money when you have Juanito working for you. 10 cans per Subaru gets expensive.

For the zip tie drill hack... They show the most common application which is normally a direct injected gasoline engine which has a pretty short port length. I could see using a wire brush here as well but the thing about wire brushes, if you're just a hobby guy then you often buy them at a normal retailer, they often have thin bristles and you use the same one till it's worn to the nubs and don't think to buy more till you run out. There is a big quality difference between a harbor freight or Amazon or temu wire brush vs one from a place that sells engine rebuild supplies like goodson. Where goodson sources them I dunno but I imagine if you go through Msc or granger or macmaster carr you could find an equivalent. While some hardware store brushes might be a little better than import Chinese places they may still break bristles. And the carbon will be attracted to the metal wires and coat them. They will break up the rough stuff but after the first port or 2 they will kinda just smear carbon on a surface and never really look clean. And on a diesel engine with cast iron heads the bristles will wear fast on the rough surface and not reach very deep. The zip ties can go deep in a 12 liter truck engine port and the cleanliness problem isn't an issue you just throw it away at the end of or even during the job and make more. Only the cheapest import zip ties are brittle, it's actually pretty difficult to break the better ones. Losing pieces in cylinders is really a non issue. But a cheap wire brush might leave hairs everywhere. I happen to have an ultrasonic cleaner and started using it to clean my wire brushes, both hand and rotary due to the fuel and oil soaked carbon i clean regularly while rebuilding fleet service diesel heads. But I have switched to the zip tie back for the deeper reach and throw away nature of it. You always have a reason to buy bags of zip ties. Buying multiple rotary wire brushes often means an assortment where you end up with sizes and shapes that you don't often use and they just accumulate in a drawer, your frugal mind afraid to throw them away just incase... The walnut shell blasting also works if you can afford to get a purpose setup that reclaims the media. Otherwise it just makes a big weird mess. And definitely make sure the valves are closed with that. It's only safe and non harmful in amounts i would consider less than a pinch. In carbon cleaning amounts it can definitely bend pistons and connecting rods by getting stuck in the squish/quench bands or wedge around the top ring area and cause issues.
@Rickie-37
@Rickie-37 Ай бұрын
Before my shop got a walnut blaster, for the intake carbon, we'd use paint thinner to soak it overnight and then stainless tig welding wires to clean most of them off, as long as they're away from the valve stems. then finish the deep ones by the valve stems with the zap straps

You guys are always fun, and sometimes educational too! With the plastic bottle, I've done something similar, and easier - drill or melt a small hole in the cap and squeeze the bottle, and a jet of cleaner will be blown out to wash parts down. With the jack-handle and U-clamp, the joint was already loose - it was a clamp type - the problem was the rubber mounts, etc, tension made it very difficult to pull the arm low enough to release the joint.

Subaru plastic door panel clips - you can use any tool/method to pop them out. They will break no matter what! Before popping off a Subaru door panel, or upgrading your speakers in all your doors, make sure you have a few dozen new plastic clips nearby.

As for that first one, I've used a ball joint press tool, which is basically a giant high-strength C-clamp, to push bushings into/out of control arms before. Thankfully I also have a 20-ton hydraulic press so such make-do is generally not needed, but on-site/roadside repairs are a thing.

That oil plug trick I do on every car I've owned besides my most recent one because its head is rather flat, no chonk to drill through.. but usually I just drill a 1-1.5mm hole through the head so once it's cracked you can tie a little loop in the wire to hold it when it comes out and wrap the wire around to do the final rotations to avoid making a mess. Added bonus is you can just hang the drain plug off a suspension arm or somewhere in your face so you don't risk losing it or getting crap in the threads. :P

What are you talking about exploding? They used the coke as a cleaner and poured it on stuff then scrubbed. The only pressure would be opening the soda.. but water bottles can hold like 100+ psi before they explode. Some can hold triple that.. soda bottles are made from the same exact stuff from cap to the bottles.. some just use a different plastic insert inside the cap to seal but so do some water bottles also..,

Also also, my favorite door panel experience? Volvo 240. Reach under the door, there's a little plastic clip, Pull that out, then just pull the door panel up and away and you're good. No pops, no snaps, no fuss, just a metal hanger on top and a plastic clip on bottom you can take out with your hands.

Whenever I try to pop door panels off (especially on older cars), I pop the panel off the push pins. They're made to come straight out but the grip in the middle hole is tighter than the slot in the cardboard panel. On those, you gotta get a tool and pry on the pin rather than the panel.

That oil filter one, I have done a similar thing with davco style filters(like a filter inside a plastic dome with a plastic ring that holds it down) just put an extension or something on one of the ridges of the ring and hammer away, works pretty well if you don't have the correct size tool.
