Scotty, love your videos, you were saying about battery EXPLOSIONS, THEY DO HAPPEN my friend and I were doing an engine swap, but during this time my friend had hooked up the battery charger so we would have a good hot battery to start with it had already been on charger for about two hours for some reason he failed to shut off the power on the charger before disconnecting it well guess what it arched and the whole top of the battery EXPLODED in his face, fortunately for him I as directly behind him when it happened ( he was kind of a small guy back then ) I grabbed him stuck him under the water faucet and started drowning him in water, to this day he has a large scar down the side of his nose how he didnt get any Acid in his eyes was a miracle from God, Surely he must have just blinked jus at the exact right time, HEY do a vid on proper connection of batterys the world if full of ignorant people, thanks for all you do KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, this is big John saying ASTLA-BYE-BYE

Scotty, I fired a oil change place that I went to for years (free wash and vaccuum with a change, mobile one full synthetic, all around good setup) because their senior technician kept trying to tell me I could go to 10w-30 or 10w-40 because of the mileage on my truck and I kept telling him it needed to be the 5W-20 specified on the cap by the manufacturer no matter what. I get it, he was trying to be cheap and use 10W-30 on everything and have less stock, but theres no excuse for it. I now go to a great Ford dealership, they do it right, Im tired of arguing with uncertified backyard mechanics and overgrown technicians with only their experience guiding them on what they have to do to do it right. An educated mechanic keeps current, a great mechanic 20 years ago is mediocre at best on anything new if they havent been doing their study time to keep up. That old place eventually went out of business and was bulldozed and replaced by a yuppie juice spa.

Sure in most cars today you dont want to be putting any kind of oil in the tank with the petrol, it does do damage and can be very costly in the long run. However that being said its far more beneficial to do that in a rotary engine, especially if the car is an older model or has issues with the OMP. A full engine rebuild would be required if apex seals on the rotors shatter or wear down, which happens when the engine has insufficient lubrication, and is far more expensive to go and do than get a new O2 sensor or cat. But even in a rotary, unless you are putting extensive strain on the engine, or you know your OMP is bad, dont put anything else in with the petrol, although you can to be extra sure the engine lasts and you dont mind some minor maintenance.

Sorry to correct you but if you run any alternator with the battery disconnected will blow the diodes if the battery is disconnected while running. The diodes are generally rated at 70 volts. With no battery the voltage goes sky high as you stated. An Australian company used to manufacture a welding or 240 volt (Australian mains voltage) Bosch alternator. I learned the disconnecting the battery while the engine running issue as an apprentice auto electrician. I was working on a Valiant (Chrysler) that had an ammeter which I accidentally disconnected while the engine was running with the lights on flash. blew every light globe in the car that was on. I got a swift kick up the rear from my boss. Lesson learned.

oh I forgot Almost I have a 1958 Porter Cable lawn and garden tractor with every implement plus 3rd party implements, all original, I even Built a 2 foot x 3 foot manure spreader, NOW to my question I went to an industrial supply for a power-drive belt, I asked the fellow at the counter for a BELT, he reached under the counter and came out with two shot glasses and a 5th of old Turkey, Should I go somewhere else or might the next place I ask for a belt and end up getting PUNCHED, hahahaahahahahhah, BELT? just love your movies, more fun that following the Democrats war on our president, J. R. For Now

When I was young I used the battery to battery jump - until one time when I took the cable off and it sparked, and the battery had been charged by the other car enough to generate hydrogen. it blew a couple of the battery cell caps off, and splashed a small amount of acid - straight into my faceLuckily I was close to a hose and was able to wash off in a few seconds, but even that left me blinded (by medication and bandages) for several days. So in the 40 years since, I have NEVER jumped or charged a battery dorectly battery post to battery post.

. 64yrs old. Owned over 200 vehicles since 1971. Never been a car dealer. Probly jumped every one of em off. Wrong way. And I just thot they all had a virus and it spread to every one I bought. Woe is me. THATS why dont have couple million in a retirement account. But wife does have a 67 black Corvette coupe, 427/435 Tri-Power. One of 32 black Tri-Power coupes. Wont bring a million but maybe we wont have to ear cat food. May have a few more old cars put up too. I probly need to watch all his videos. Or my friggin mechanic does.

I remember getting in arguments with mechanics over tire inflation. Some read the pressure on the sidewall and always fill the tire to that pressure, thinking that was correct. They were far from correct though as tire pressure has everything to do with the GVWR. The weight on the tire determines the correct PSI to ensure the contact patch is nice, wide and flat. Overinflation reduces the size of the contact patch and pumping tires up to the ratings on the sidewall overinflates them near 100% of the time for passenger cars.

Mr Kilmer, there is a far simpler way to check the charging system, that is dummy proof. Using a volt meter(in the civilized parts of America, a company known as Harbor Freight sells a simple volt meter for about 6 bucks, with the engine off, check the voltage on the battery, then start the car, if the voltage is greater(about 14 volts is normal for everything, the charging system is working, if there is no increase, buy an alternator(this is true even if you have a faulty battery.
