@TechConnectify Not going to mention that time a certain military contractor did a 72 hour run-in on a submarine diesel and realised about 24 hours in that they forget to put any oil in.

@TechConnectify My pressure gage was just fine right up until there was a loud rattling and it lost power. Then it died. On the beach. With the tide coming in.

@TechConnectify I genuinely LOL’d hard at the drill gag. Good stuff.

@TechConnectify No & Yes on this video's engine health saga. The operator / owner understanding basic ice health, from day one, is the KEY element for ice engine longevity... Little things like my Kia Teluride consuming oil is a big deal for me. Bill

@TechConnectify "Nissan Versa" might be in the running to beat my favorite "Liam Nissan" joke.

@TechConnectify I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen a new video in a while and was looking forward to when a new one would come out.

@TechConnectify An incredible video! As someone who's only seen a car's internals as they were being abused (or, more rarely, lovingly resuscitated) by Wade and James of Garbage Time, it's great to see a more sober and educational angle. Also, I've never seen a timing chain (the duo above hasn't dealt with engines that new), and I'd love to know why the timing chain tensioner is moving repeatedly. Does it have to do with the dynamic timing adjustment you said you wouldn't be getting into?

@TechConnectify This feels like it had even more unseen work behind than usual - wonderful work! and very informative. We had to change our cars oil filter for the first time a while back and this explains some things (horrible job)

@TechConnectify Oil Pressure is the only thing keeping an engine alive. Tell that to VW, among others they fscked up big time on newer engines with variable oil pressure control. Most companys now have ridiculously long oil change interval's and production swarf left in the engines. Cleaning costs money. us manufacturers are involved too..

@TechConnectify I’m convinced you said “Oiling can” just to avoid “oil can what?” jokes. 😁

@TechConnectify nice video, i already knew most of it, looking forward to the next part. little persnickety: what you show at 32:15 is not an o-ring because it is not a torus.

@TechConnectify if you had posted this in ~2005, I probably wouldn’t have murdered my ‘96 Honda Civic.

@TechConnectify Just finished the video. I wasn't expecting to see an engine in a dishwasher, but it's a good video to learn how some stuff in the engine works especially since I have started driving more recently. Now I am curious if you are going to make a video about how electric cars run with how often you mentioned them in this video. Or if I just missed when you posted a video on how electric car engines work. Overall though I enjoyed the video and feel like I learned some good knowledge.

@TechConnectify I'm happy to see you alive and safe, after your last video. I drive and prefer electric car, but for sure I know I will like you talking about ICE (internal combustion engine, not the... "other" ICE). Maybe one day you will delight us with a video on bicycle, too? :D

@TechConnectify I decided to just stop buying cars with those lamps many years ago! Never looked back! 🥰 (Also... driving by gas stations is entertaining af these days!) 😅

@TechConnectify I enjoyed this one, even though none of the info in it was new to me. Except "flexplate". That was new to me. I hope you explain how TF a torque converter works and what converting torque even means.

@TechConnectify If you see the oil light come on and it is because the pump *just* failed then you might be ok. If the oil light came on just now because the oil has been burned/leaking cmslowlg over the 3 months and it is just now at the point when it is warning you, then if could be too late, your engine could have been destroying itself due to lack of oil for weeks. Ask me how I know.

@TechConnectify great to see a new video from you! For some use cases, such as personal aviation, ye olde 4-stroke engine is not very likely to be replaced by electrics any day soon (unless someone invents a really lightweight extension cord). For these, synthetic fuels would probably be the most environmentally friendly solution. Have you ever seen any research into turning excess solar power into e-fuels? The hard part is probably not the chemical or the physics part, but making the process economically viable with just excess electricity. That said, it might just be the stuff to fill a gap in the transition. The good news is someone just made oil a lot more expensive so more people may realize that cheap fossil fuels are not a given.
