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!
