rev up your engines, Panini says is it
normal for my new GMC Canyon's oil to
smell like fuel, no that's not normal, oil
should smell like oil if your oil
smells like fuel, it means that there's a
problem and somehow fuel is getting into
the oil that's often a leaking fuel
pressure regulator, leaking fuel injector
something's wrong that it's pumping too
much fuel into the engine and the
excess fuel gets by the piston rings and
that gets into the engine oil it should
not smell like fuel period, no car the
oil should ever smell like fuel
smell like dirty oil yeah, but even my old
Celica it's got 240,000 miles the oil
still smells like oil it doesn't smell
like fuel cause it's running right, Ben
cross says Scotty I'm think about getting a
13 to 16 f150 four-wheel drive as a
daily driver, I'll be hauling things from Home
Depot and occasionally towing a camper
each engine would be best, if you're going to be doing stuff like
that you're really better with
the v8 engine,they're just made to
take the power the v6 engines they don't have
the horsepower and they wear out faster
and they're not as much fun to drive and
really the gas mileage differential
isn't all that much I would definitely
go for the v8 engine in the Fords I've
always liked the v8 Ford engine, I was
never a fan of much of their v6 ones, Amadeus says what is the major
problem of a Nissan Pathfinder, okay the
biggest thing is they got two problems
one is their automatic transmissions are
relatively weak they're made by the Jatco
company that Nissan runs and
they're relatively weak, as they age
generally their engines just flat wear
out in those things, I've got a lot of
customers and they bring them in and
I'd say look, let me do a test on it, and I do
a wet and dry compression test take out
all the spark plugs and find out that
hey when I do the wet compression test
it's a lot higher than the dry
compression test, which means the piston
rings are worn and they burn a lot of
oil and then you know your not going to spend
money rebuilding an engine as they age
generally people get rid of them, you can pick
up used ones cheap I mean it's not hard
to do and if they run okay what the
heck if you buy something for a thousand
or fifteen hundred bucks that last you a
few years and you're making
like a gangbuster anyways, fast lane says
looking to get a 74 AMC Javelin AMX
with a go pack 360 4 speed 12 boot rear end what are your thoughts yea or nay
okay I'm assuming you're Canadian say aye,
those are cool cars you know I mean they're
starting to get somewhat more popular
and their prices are going up but with
the go pack and 360 4 speed though are
some fun things to drive around it were
weird cars in their day and you know and
that was the end of AMC soon after 74
and then Chrysler ended up buying them, the
only thing they bought them for was they
wanted the jeeps and they stopped making
all the other stuff that they were
making in Indianapolis, so now that's all
gone, but yeah they're fun little cars to
drive around, don't think it's gonna be
daily driver but for a fun project cars
hey what the heck, Jack princess how do
you remove superglue on car paint there
is a thing called superglue remover and
I got tubes of it lying around because
I'm always worried if I get them on my fingers their gonna stick together so I've got
some lying around, try that the only
problem is, if that superglue has been on
there a long time, it's probably eaten
through your clear coat and gotten down
to the bare metal and you might find
that the paint's gonna look like crap
but if you want to try it, get that super
glue remover it's a paste comes in a
tube, Amazon sells it you can get it
anywhere
follow the directions and don't do it
in the hot sun, do it in the shade early in the
morning or early in the evening when the
car paint isn't hot, because you want to
make it not eat through anything as much
as possible
Vato says love your show
Scotty I have an 89 f150 where 300 LS
five-speed the truck runs fine, until it
starts back up when it's warmed up then
it has a misfire, I replaced the plugs
and the distributor cap, okay it's an 89
that thing is old enough that all kinds
of things can go wrong, but still unless
it's been changed out, it should still be
a fuel-injected vehicle and as such as
they age, the fuel injectors get old when
you turn the car off, they seep a little
so when it's warmed up and you shut it
off, they seep fuel into the intake and
they flood out the engine, I see that all
the time, if it is a simple one like
throttle-body it's only got one or two
fuel injectors, heck just buying the new
fuel injectors and put in them in, a lot of
times that will fix the whole thing that's
a very common problem, as the age with
the older fuel injection systems on the
carbureted models
it was the carburetor being bad and they
leaked a little bit of fuel when they
were hot and flooded out the same thing
Nick Anderson says Scotty I got a 94
chevy cavalier z24 with 126 thousand miles
is it a good idea to tag it as a classic
and park it and work on it, is it a good
project car, well if you like it you know
the Cavaliers were never really
collectors items, they didn't really have
classic lines and stuff they got that
funky kind of boxy body style that
people never really cared for, if you
want a project car to mess around with
don't put a ton of money in it I mean
it's not something like you know classic
67 Mustang that can be worth a lot of
money when it's all done over, it'll
never be worth a whole bunch of money
but if you want something to toy around,
what the heck you're not gonna get much
selling it and if you want a toy to making into
whatever you want to do, if you want to
put a turbocharger, yeah think about it,
just don't think you're ever gonna
get a bunch of money for it, so if you never
want to miss another one of my new car
repair videos, remembering to ring that
Bell!
