rev up your engines, q Anna says Scotty I saw a video said K&N
filters allow dust particles to critical engine components and actually grind the
Pistons what do you think about it, should I stick with OEM for my Triumph
Daytona, here's the thing, K&N air filters they're good air filters
they're reusable, you can clean them and re oil them, they have to have oil put into
them to collect the dust, well they filter quite well, but it also
will clog up a lot faster in dusty environments, you have to decide whether
you're gonna take care of them or not, if they
get all clogged up and pieces start coming off yeah it'll wear things out
faster basically, you got a Triumph Daytona 675 it's a motorcycle, really for
them the paper filters are best because their just paper, and they get dirty you
take them out whack them get the dust off and vacuum or have a spare one and
they're so easy to change on those things anyways
a little box comes in and out, I'd stick to the factory ones you
know you they work just as well, and you don't have to think about them getting
all clogged up with dust and stuff getting
inside them, John simmon says I don't know why people keep getting mad at
Scotty saying this car is bad or this isn't good,
he wants you to save money elsewhere and he's absolutely right, okay yeah people
do get mad at me, because some people get emotionally involved in vehicles, and
then they say, oh he's nuts that's a great vehicle, I even had a guy once in England
tell me how great Jaguars are and they don't break, and oh they're wonderful
cars you don't know what you're talking about yeah I laughed at that one, I mean
who knows what the truth is on the Internet,
but unfortunately people get emotionally involved in their cars, don't ever do
that if it's your transportation device now if it's your toy that's perfectly
fine go right ahead and have a 68 Jaguar that your toy and you polish it,
and you take it out on Sundays when it's not raining you know, it's a toy it's fun
it's a completely different thing, than getting something that you're gonna
drive every day that's gonna be dependable transportation, you know it
all depends on what you want, like earlier today I even told a guy go
ahead and buy the standard transmission BMW, because hey if you can get one for 5
grand and you want a toy for the weekend why not, I got customers to do that and
they have fun with it, but you don't go buy brand-new
bmw for $80,000 and then find out when it's 8 years old it's worth $8,000, yeah I'm
trying to help the average guy out here benny,
wherever my gas tank is at half mark my car feels weak or slower, is that the
sign of a bad fuel pump, it often is or the strainer that feeds the fuel pump,
the fuel pump is there and it's got this little strainer sock that's a filter, and if
either of those are weak, when you get low there's less pressure of the
gasoline, and so it has to suck more and it usually is that the internal fuel
pump or the sock is going bad, any time you're changing that pump always put a
new sock on it, cuz you never know if it's clogged inside, and the things cost
like five six bucks, if you don't change that it's dumb, because then if it's
somewhat clogged up you'll have the same problem and if you got to pull the gas
tank to do the job, you're gonna be kicking yourself, anytime you've got a
job where you see something is affiliated with it and you got to do a lot
of work, change the whole thing, do it yourself you're under there cursing and
swearing ripping those parts apart, so always use all the parts that are
affiliated with that system when they go bad, ernie say scotty please make a
video why Honda doesn't want to recall their 1.5 turbo engines oil dilution
problems, and why the NHTSA is not pressuring Honda, unlike the
Chinese government that stopped them selling them
because of it, well here we go capitalism, the Chinese have a communist
government they can do whatever they what, and
if they see they're getting bad engines sent over they can stop it you know, they
obviously have a problem with the oil dilution and it's gonna wear the engines
out faster, you get gasoline in the oil, it's gonna make the engine not lubricate as
well and won't last as long, it's only common sense, but the problem with the
NHTSA is that's safety, they're mainly interested in safety stuff, an
engine that wears out earlier, a lot of times they let that stuff slide by, I
know they shouldn't but a lot of times they do because, hey honda is a big
corporation they make a lot of cars and make a
lot of money, I'm sure they've got a little Lobby in Washington like
everybody else does, you know I think it's cool that the Chinese stopped them
because of those engines, I think that's that's interesting you know, Xavier
Rodriguez I think Scotty is smart because he works outside and gets Sun
and that's a idea, well you know that's actually a
very valid point, I sometimes get mechanics yell at me and saying Scotty
you can't do that, you can have a fire if you do this or that, and I say no you can
do a fire because you're working inside a building in a sealed atmosphere where
gas vapors build up, chemicals build up and you can have a fire, I work
outside and I have a giant fan, so all of it dissipates I've never had any
fire problems because of that, it's all out in the open, and if you are out in
the open you're gonna feel better, you don't feel enclosed, you don't have to worry
about carbon monoxide building up, cuz even if you have a garage that's got
tubes that you stick on the exhaust that's supposed to make the exhaust go
outside and not stay inside, and there's always some leakage they don't seal
correctly, a lot of times guys are too lazy and don't put them on, it's much
better working outside, than it is working inside, and yeah we all need some
vitamin D there's no arguing with that, and the best way to get it is to stand
out in the Sun, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair
videos, remember to ring that Bell
