Welp, finally got that new video done

[coffee@cafecreature.club]

@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 thank you for your hard work

@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.

@bclindner @TechConnectify Oh I love this guy with all the videos about condensing, dehydrating, heating / cooling!

@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.

[dariozanette@mastodon.uno]

@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?

@TechConnectify

Also explains the attack on Iran.

@TechConnectify

Starting about half-way through, I am learning.

@TechConnectify engine in a dishwasher is absolute peak TC

[baardhaveland@snabelen.no]

@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!)

@bjn @TechConnectify

That snapped my attention pretty quick.

@TechConnectify@mas.to suck, squeeze, bang, blow ​​

[hellomiakoda@pdx.social]

@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.

[hellomiakoda@pdx.social]

@TechConnectify To your audience - not knowing what the "idiot lights" mean, what they should and shouldn't be doing, and what your fluids SHOULD look and smell like, is a great way to spend more money on car repairs and possibly die.

[hellomiakoda@pdx.social]

@TechConnectify "Die? Surely that's exaggeration!", some might exclaim.

Your brakes use fluid. Your brake fluid is one of a few things standing between you and uncontrolled abrupt stopping, which can be fatal.
