10 Super Mechanic Hacks ! l You must know l Subi-Performance

[@ralphseelisch9040]

Excellent speaker. He came to the point immediately. No fluff.

[@budspaulding7121]

Excellent tips, I used many of those in my working career. On the double wrench trick, or anytime using wrenches, if you're pushing on the wrench, use the palm of your hand open, if your fingers are wrapped around the wrench and it slips off, your knuckles will hit aluminum with skin ripping force! Cheers my friend, love your videos

[@goud2488]

I'll honestly take scratched knuckles over a ripped off finger nail

[@samthenerf]

If the dowel pins are in a blind hole you can use a close fitting bit of anything (or not so close and some tape) put some water or grease in the hole and hammer the object down, the hydraulic pressure will force it out after a few hits.

[@harold6863]

As a retired BMW Master Technician this guy is very knowledgeable. Look at his nice clean workshop. That’s the way Germans are. Respect from an English man👍

[@danchesney631]

It’s called a deburring tool. More hacks, it’s why we watch.

[@dontfeelcold]

I've also know it as a whirly-burr.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

is a ridge reamer the same?

[@timwhelan4419]

vargus is what we call it

[@jmoore9806]

Thanks guys for confirming the name of the tool.....its people like you that makes this world a better place to live in, and i think its safe to say Christianity has influenced this world for the better.

[@danchesney631]

Christianity has absolutely nothing to do with what the tool is called, and absolutely nothing to do with my desire to let others know what it is called.

[@TopCat2021]

I knew all of these except the alignment pin removal that is so simple,thanks for sharing.

[@mach1553]

Me 2

[@donames6941]

The alignment pin removal is only one i didn't know, and i glad I saw it cause tomorrow I am reserving a block

[@amandagardner565]

if you have any silica gel packets, you could add a few prior to wrapping the block in plastic to absorb any moisture. i used to work for a company that imported Trumpf Machinery into Australia, i really wish i had grabbed a few dozen of the 2Kg bags that came with every machine.

[@flyingknut]

Trumpf - beschde!

[@McHunterTV]

3:34 in Switzerland, we dont say slide hammer, we say "Elefantenwichser" and I think its beautiful! xD

[@kleinesmaenchen]

In Germany we just call them "Wichser"

[@FlsAtlan]

Haha...I've got an 5KG slide hammer! In comparison with the others, can i call it "Elephantjerker" (sorry, a try to translate "Elefantenwichser")? Thx SwissSupermotoRider...u made my day xD

[@krzysztofp7846]

in Poland we say The Negotatior

[@DRPowell]

Elephant weiner?!

[@markm6952]

I use the tape hack routinely, and I like to have the sticky side of the tape facing the socket. That way you don't need to reach in and grab the tape. Nut setters are still my favorite though.

[@99unclebob]

great video thank you i now know more hacks, the one with the tape and socket i have used many times my father taught me it, now sometimes i use magnets inside the sockets, the flat kind that fridge magnets are made from, you buy them at the craft stores , very cheap cut to shape you need and place in the socket and it works very well, i work mostly on old Volvos and it has been a big help in the hard to reach areas or places you can't see 👍, more of these videos would be awesome

[@paulnolan7509]

Deburring tool / burr-removal tool is the one you showed taking the hard edge off the cylinderdeck edge.

[@Inevective]

Watching your video, gives me the impression that I should be located on a continent that is often referred to as "The Motherland" 😅

[@krzysztofp7846]

or Heimat

[@dbg7960]

You could make a video, where you can see how you put the crescent moons on the cylinder heads and the valve cover with the glue

[@geechbadart]

Very cool video keep up I the good work. I have learned many of these tips over the years but i did not know about the tap and slid hammer hack. Thanks again for taking the time to share these tips.

[@davidrobinson6495]

Nice tips. In English (in the US anyway) we call that a deburring tool.

[@raymasek4127]

*Deburring

[@davidrobinson6495]

Yeah. Autocorrect got me. Lol.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

i thought it was a ridge reamer ?

[@AlanWild-c2z]

working in the uk garage trade we called them scrapers and made them out of old ground down small files.

[@ralfsiegel7594]

Some methods that you use as a professional mechanic every day, you feel quite normal yourself. Not professional mechanics sometimes can't get out of the amazement when they see how to fix the most difficult problems with sometimes the simplest means.

[@procrastinator1842]

Thankyou for the dowel pin trick, I destroyed one last time and when you don't have a spare, it's a massive time waster.

[@R1200GSvlogs]

ich schraub seit 30 Jahren aber die Nummer mit den Passhülsen war neu für mich... so genial einfach, Super!

[@808vws8]

These are good hex...it took me a few year’s to learn these hex from different mechanics/mentors. Yes I know it’s called hacks but in your accent it sounds like hex. Much luv&respect from Hawaii 🤙🏽🤘🏽

[@СергейПетров-ь7ч9щ]

We'll glad to see more tips on this topic.

[@denisthek]

Thanks so much I knew most of the tricks, except using the slide hammer to remove the dowels, and the use of what we call in the USA "Swivel Deburring Tool" to take the sharp edge off the top of the block to make installing the pistons easier and less of a chance of breaking the rings. Prost!!!

[@ДимитърДимитров-х8к]

Thank you very much for the helpful tips.

[@JP-vs1ys]

Awesome stuff. The hacks are great. Excellent English too. We should all be this bilingual.

[@impulseproman]

at 5:10 the grove on the block Head is that Mod for coolant flow to cool piston? am not a mechanic

[@polturiashernandez2764]

its for water, not for coolant flow

[@ryanfrizzell736]

Interesting. Now I know more about ten super mechanic hacks. Thank you.

[@911engineguy]

Keep them coming.

[@alejandrogaut]

More hacks please Andy!!!! And do not forget to add that lovely dogs!!!

[@Kj16V]

The dowel hack is genius! I always bend them by removing them with long-nose pliers 😅

[@samkitty5894]

Sparkplugs on some cars are set too deep. After installing them I would pull the socket extension out only to see the socket still deep down on the spark plug. I use tape to tape socket to the extensions. This way they go in and out together. Do some hacks on how to deal with broken studs. Those are always "fun"...

[@GDOG520]

I've used just about all of these hacks do work... The guide pin thing if ur doing a rebuild a good kit will come with those

[@khurelkhuutsagaantsooj4602]

Can you put links for the special tools (used on cylinder wall edge) you used on amazon maybe?

[@oumarbedy230]

thank you for sharing it is always a pleasure to watch your videos

[@jimpoteet1]

thanks, these are all very good tips.. ( i learned some new ones, and i have been a life-long mechanic ). > where are you from? you have an accent, though your emglish is excellent.. again, thanks..

[@ivanpomy]

Now saying mashanik, it just sounds more elegant. Great video thank you for sharing

[@maheshpatel2005]

superb trick. keep sharing more useful tricks. thanks a lot

[@warster321]

double wrench trick was not the strongest opener, but the rest of the video is very good! keep up the good work

[@cruizinmax4017]

where can I get those block to block guide pins, do you sell them?

[@andreasmessner7357]

This is actually very helpful, please make more videos like this🤘🏼

[@Mike_44]

Hi Andy, what tool do you use to remove the AVCS Intake and Exhaust Cam Sprockets? Everyone here in the states uses the Company23 tools, but imo, it damages the Gears inside..

[@StraightLineCycles]

Great tips!

[@HOOD2358]

Love the videos man. Keep doing these kind please. Very helpful!

[@osvandremolinari]

Thanks, regards from Brazil

[@kutlee2009]

I use the tape hack reverse. The stick side goes into socket. So that when you pull socket out, tape will not remain on the bolt.

[@ELEISONCARABALLO]

Thank you for share your knowledge.....Blessingssssss

[@GearJamminHank]

I can't help but hear Harvey telling the Nazi Knock Knock joke. 😂

[@fraserbull1837]

Just would like to know the size and type of tap you use for the location pins, I’m sure you tried a few before you got the right one. Thanks

[@ricksehfeld3092]

Looks Like M10 Stands for metrical thread 10

[@minischrauber2695]

Gute Tipps. Besonders den Schrauben-Klebeband Tipp hätte ich schon früher kennen müssen. Hätte mir viel suchen und fluchen erspart.

[@cloudhunt694]

[@stanwarchock1559]

Hello been following your channel because I’m building a 2010 ej255 wrx engine! Could you do a video explaining the differences between the ej255 wrx and ej257 sti? Pistons rods crank cylinder heads dimensions it’ll be good content

[@carstenfunk6075]

Love hack videos and "Sahara-Tricks". Please contiue!

[@Chippy569]

do you know the tap size you use to pull the head locating studs? I'd like to try that.

[@Hipyon]

I'm an old timer knew all those hacks here are some of mine keep your tools clean clean threads with wire brush go for a ring spanner first c Spanner last resort if you can't crack a nut tried tightening a bit first when cracking nuts take up a little bit of tork And then snatch always use a cracker bar before the ratchet my ratchet is 40 years old😊

[@usmanahmad1788]

Very nice video. Really practical info

[@PedroFTeixeira]

I can say I learned something with this! Great!

[@FlyingBirdman]

[@lilycara5249]

[@sbeezynukka]

That $10 tool is a reamer if it hasn’t been said already! I use them in the electrical trade to ream conduits and other metal bits or plastics that have a burr!

[@sysmikthestorm4086]

WOW! I love this type of video! Nicee!!!

[@Zoneho]

It's called a 'deburring tool' in English.

[@pumpdumpster]

Thanks, great advice. 👏👏👏

[@nitrofreakmanho]

Great video. I’m not an engine builder, but I believe you’re right, it is flat.

[@ДимитърДимитров-х8к]

I liked this video.

[@FastAndCharged]

Thank you for sharing

[@_Epictetus_]

Maybe you could do a video on 6 point vs 12 point wrenches and sockets 😉

[@thaipham9786]

[@braidwooddesignstudio5536]

Люди из СНГ кажется это все знают с детства)))

[@asdaqasdfsq8804]

дык его, похоже, Алекс этому и научил ;)

[@letonkov]

Но надо признать ,что малярный скотч удобнее старой газеты, а эта вертлявая фигня - шабера переточенного из напильника. Европа... )))

[@ВячеславВисливский]

Не относится к нынешнему поколению =)

[@andriimuraveinikov3893]

Меня еще отец учил этим лайфхакам!)

[@hot-shotlabel3212]

Thank you ❤

[@petkokrushev3840]

Moe of videos like this, we are learning a lot of stuff

[@aland7236]

For hack number two, you can use a piece of a paper towel or shop rag if tape is not available. 5:13 That would be called a de-burring tool auf englisch.

[@maxinrique2706]

Great done

[@robertjurek3053]

Dzieki wielkie 👍

[@GodFatherGR7]

Give us more hacks...We need them..I wish i knew the hack with the sliding pin earlier!!

[@robingrimm5689]

Gute Hacks ein paar kennt man natürlich aber man lernt nie aus gerne mehr ! :)

[@techalyzer]

I don't understand what that small "sleeve" is in teh engine. Don't you care about the inside getting ruined? Is it just a guide for the other half of the engine block to come in place when you assemble? I need more info on what that thing is :D
