1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,880
In a world full of fear and sometimes loathing of unfathomable technological advancements,

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,520
there stands one human hero.

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,520
Great!

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:26,000
This is the Chronicle of Mike vs. The Machine.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,400
Ba da ba ba boo! And we're back!

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,960
Uh, we... what? We never left.

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,600
With me as always is my cohort, Mike.

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,400
Hey.

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,400
And I'm... Mike. We're glad to see you here.

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,160
They can't see us.

11
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:48,520
I mean, I can see them when they listen to us.

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,640
Well, all we see is numbers.

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Yeah. I mean, that's all we are in the end, are just numbers.

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Oh, here we go. All right.

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,240
I mean, honestly, that's true both philosophically, if the universe is a giant computer simulation,

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,560
or if you look at us just being our social security numbers and things like that.

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,640
By the way, what's your social security number?

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,960
Just give me a number. Just give me one number.

20
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,600
Give me one number while we both silence our phones.

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,960
Six.

22
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,840
One? Michael, where do we work?

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Uh, we work in the automotive industry, so to speak.

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,240
Thank you for being vague.

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,520
Yeah, so we... I will say we don't build cars.

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Yeah, neither one of us are that, uh, skilled.

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Yeah. We also don't repair cars, which will be vital for this conversation.

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Yeah, again, neither one of us are that skilled.

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,840
I would be had I gone to Votek when I was younger, but...

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,280
quesad a serah.

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Yeah, and I would be if I had, like, the hands that my father wished I had,

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,720
but I don't, and I don't like tools.

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,960
I prefer the tools that are in my burn.

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,840
I prefer tool the band.

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Yeah, actually, me too.

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Anyway, so I had the thought, hey, how do cars do?

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Ha... Uh...

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Okay.

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Answer me that question. How do cars do?

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,360
Do you want a just...

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Okay, uh, electricity, uh, combustion source.

42
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,720
Oh, you're gonna start with electricity?

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Wheel.

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,480
I would have started with the star going... dying and going supernova,

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,280
thus creating iron and then spreading it throughout the universe,

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,680
but that's just me.

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,960
Ah...

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,640
You wanted the layman answer.

49
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,840
I mean, for the question of how it's phrased, how do cars do,

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,640
I figured I'd give you the simplistic caveman answer.

51
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,280
I mean, technically, the... probably the correct answer is how do cars do?

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,440
Cars go.

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Yeah, go. Push pedal, go fast.

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Cars go. And that's mostly our knowledge of it.

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,720
We have disparate other pieces of knowledge beyond that,

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,920
and that's what we're going to do today.

57
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,400
Yes, we're going to talk about things we've learned.

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,400
We're going to... Yeah, what we've learned at our job,

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,120
what we may have already known,

60
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,960
and see... just see how far our knowledge extends.

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Yes.

62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,000
I will say that this episode will very likely, uh,

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,240
be quite hilarious to actual mechanics and Autobody techs.

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Yeah, so feel free to go off on the comments.

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,920
Yeah, we're definitely going to have to share this episode

66
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,920
when it's posted to as many people we work with as possible.

67
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:23,800
Oh, yeah.

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,440
This will be the one, I think, that will really branch out to them

69
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,160
and really tickle them.

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Oh, yeah. It's going to tickle some buttholes.

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,200
Yeah. So, anyway, let's start up.

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,800
Now, I will say, uh, this is an episode that we will be playing co-op.

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,440
I feel like we should be... Yay!

74
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Yeah, we should be testing our human knowledge,

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,640
our, you know, our human thoughts and feelings.

76
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,840
Uh, so I had ChatGPT, our lovely and amazing, uh, co-host here...

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,920
In front of me.

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,360
...pull together some data for us.

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,960
And I have this data in a lovely notepad file here

80
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,120
that we're going to look over.

81
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,200
So, it starts fairly simple.

82
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Engine.

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Uh, I mean, even the simplest of people

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,280
can tell you what the engine does.

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,720
It makes the car go.

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,160
But how does it do it?

87
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,160
Uh, through combustion, electricity, sometimes cold fusion.

88
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Ha-ha. Yeah, but how does it do it, though?

89
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:27,080
Gears and pistons and belts, pulleys, a system of chains.

90
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,240
Yeah, but I mean, what's the actual mechanism that's happening?

91
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,480
Combustion.

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Yeah, but how? What's it doing?

93
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,600
It's turning a liquid into...

94
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,200
It's turning a liquid called gasoline into a gas...

95
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,960
A vapor.

96
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Yeah, a vapor. And yes.

97
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,280
And then it pushes through the system and then...

98
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,720
OK, well, like, the answer...

99
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,600
We realize this is a co-op episode.

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,360
So, the answer I was pulling for was that when the piston is down,

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
in the down position where there's space in there,

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,040
I believe it injects...

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,120
There's a fuel injector that would inject the vapor.

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,640
Yes.

105
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,840
The vapor is then combusted by the spark plug,

106
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,400
the electricity of which you discussed.

107
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,000
Yes.

108
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,040
And then that, like, pushes the piston down.

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Or maybe it's when the piston's up.

110
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,440
See, here we go.

111
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Yeah.

112
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,760
When the piston is in a certain position,

113
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,560
the gas combusts.

114
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,760
The gasoline in a gaseous form combusts, pushing said piston.

115
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,360
And then the pistons go up and down and it make a woogie boogie

116
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,200
and then cargo.

117
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Yes.

118
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Now, I have to preface this right now in saying,

119
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,800
and I think you're going to agree with this,

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640
we're basically talking this episode about your normal,

121
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,320
standard combustion engine.

122
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,840
Oh, yeah.

123
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,360
We're not getting into e-cars.

124
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,480
I don't want to get into how a hybrid works.

125
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Yeah, no.

126
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,560
That's far too complicated.

127
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Not to mention, I don't want to talk about Tesla because fuck,

128
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Elon Musk.

129
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Yeah, Elon Musk is a dirty little boy.

130
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,160
We're not getting into him.

131
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Yeah, no.

132
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080
And we're not getting into Twitter or X either.

133
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,280
You'll notice, hopefully by the time this episode comes out,

134
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,280
we'll have some content on social medias.

135
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,760
X, which we will not be a part of.

136
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320
And X, we will not be a part of just because, ah.

137
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,280
It's a dumpster fire.

138
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,720
I used Twitter way back and it was kind of fun.

139
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,200
I didn't even really see the point back then.

140
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,760
And now it's just even worse.

141
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,920
I don't know.

142
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,840
I might make a Blue Sky account.

143
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,760
Apparently, that's like an alternate Twitter.

144
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,680
I might look into it.

145
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,440
Oh, OK.

146
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,080
Yeah, I think the Game Grumps are on there too.

147
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,200
So OK, cool.

148
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,320
I might hit that up.

149
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,680
But now we got to get back on topic.

150
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,200
Anyway, Chat-CBT mentions that it converts fuel

151
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,320
into mechanical energy to propel the vehicle,

152
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760
rotational force driving the pistons, et cetera.

153
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,920
We basically got that.

154
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Yeah, in some of your words.

155
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,440
So now going beyond that transmission.

156
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,000
That's the thing that you got to make the car go.

157
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080
That's like, OK, well, we both know there's

158
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,640
two different types of transmissions.

159
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,880
Well, that's fine.

160
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,480
What does the transmission do?

161
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,120
It transmits the energy into propulsion.

162
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,680
That's what I would assume it does.

163
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,360
OK, well, basically, it's taking the energy,

164
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,640
the mechanical energy from the engine,

165
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,240
and transferring it to the axles to make them

166
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,200
go the way they need to go.

167
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Yeah.

168
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960
And specifically, Chat-CBT mentions

169
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,400
it adjusts torque and speed to match the driving conditions

170
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320
to make the vehicle more efficient at different speeds.

171
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,880
Yes.

172
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,960
So OK, different speeds, difference,

173
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,440
and especially speeds, the engine can move differently.

174
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,360
There's all that stuff.

175
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,520
There's tweaking of when you change gears, whatever.

176
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,400
There's different sized gears in there,

177
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,080
and they do different things.

178
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,320
Yes.

179
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:42,920
Whatever.

180
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,920
I love automatic transmissions.

181
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,160
I don't want to think about that.

182
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,040
Yeah.

183
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Brake pads.

184
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,920
Well, brake pads are what you need to stop your car.

185
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Yeah, I mean, that was pretty simple.

186
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440
That's like, I think they use ceramic.

187
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520
And really deep ceramic.

188
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,520
There's clay.

189
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,280
There's another kind of ceramic.

190
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,360
There's stone clay.

191
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,400
Basically, really well pressed together natural rock,

192
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,320
and it's basically just rubbing against a rotor,

193
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,760
creating friction to slow and eventually stop a vehicle.

194
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,280
Yes.

195
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,560
That one's incredibly easy.

196
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,280
I'm not even, well, maybe I'll look at the detailed answer.

197
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,720
What does Chat-CBT say?

198
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,160
They need to wear it out and replace heat.

199
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Creates fixed friction.

200
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,800
See, I got it.

201
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,440
Slows or stops, like we're geniuses.

202
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Radiator.

203
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,640
The radiator is what keeps your car cold.

204
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,640
It keeps you cool.

205
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,160
My thought was that's like with a computer,

206
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,280
compared to computers, it's the heat sink.

207
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Yeah.

208
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,960
That's where you defer the heat to.

209
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,040
Yeah, dissipating heat from the coolant that circulates.

210
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,600
The coolant circulates through the engine,

211
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,520
and then the coolant goes to the radiator

212
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,280
and disperses the heat.

213
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Oh, it's kind of like the way a nuclear power plant works.

214
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,440
Yes.

215
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040
So like the water runs through, cools the rods,

216
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,480
and then the water goes to the big bully boy,

217
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,320
and the bully boy shoots the steam up from the water.

218
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,320
All right, we got this.

219
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,880
And then we get three-eyed fish, but OK.

220
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Yay.

221
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,760
We got this.

222
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,720
Well, spark plug.

223
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,720
We already answered that one.

224
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Yeah, spark plugs in the engine, and it ignites the fuel.

225
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,120
That's what combusts to make the combustible engine.

226
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160
I'm not even going to spend any more time on that.

227
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,960
What about an alternator?

228
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,440
Alternator, now I've had many problems with alternators

229
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:27,960
in the past.

230
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,240
My dad's Chevy S10 back in like 91.

231
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
That's what went on it, that he just said screw it.

232
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,720
Yeah.

233
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,880
I didn't know what an alternator was until my very first car,

234
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,120
which was a 99 Ford Escort piece of shit.

235
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,080
I would be driving it around, and I

236
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,720
would smell burning wire like something was catching fire.

237
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,880
And I was constantly needing my car to get jumped.

238
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Well, it turns out that the alternator was dead in my car.

239
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Now, the alternator is a device that

240
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,920
charges the battery for your car and keeps that battery charged.

241
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,400
Yes.

242
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:05,480
So I'm assuming it takes excess energy from the engine running

243
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,200
and then converts it to electric energy

244
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,280
that then goes to the battery.

245
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:08,960
Yes.

246
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,440
OK.

247
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,160
So let's see if that's generates electricity

248
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000
to charge the battery while the engine is running.

249
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,320
And then if it fails, the battery will quickly

250
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,960
drain, leaving the car unoperable,

251
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,280
just like Mike's old car.

252
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,040
Yeah.

253
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:21,800
All right.

254
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,600
See, now we're getting to something

255
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,960
that I'm not sure how to describe this.

256
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,720
All right.

257
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,600
Timing belt.

258
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,480
Oh, OK.

259
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,280
So the timing belt, my rough knowledge of it

260
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:40,160
is it's for an automatic transmission

261
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,880
to know when the car needs to go up another gear.

262
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,440
Oh, so it's almost like a test to see

263
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,960
how fast car go if car go certain speed.

264
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,880
Oh, no.

265
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,840
Me need cargo different gear.

266
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Yeah, pretty much.

267
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,280
OK.

268
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,760
OK.

269
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,280
Let's see.

270
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,160
Let's see what's up.

271
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Synchronizes the engine's crankshaft and camshaft,

272
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,560
ensuring the valves open and close at the right time.

273
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,520
If it breaks, the engine can suffer catastrophic damage.

274
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,000
Yeah.

275
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
Well, that's a failure because that's not what we said.

276
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,840
I mean, it's around about what I thought it was because.

277
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,640
I mean, that's not what you said, though.

278
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,080
Oh, fine.

279
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Whatever.

280
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,800
No, that's a loss for us.

281
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,160
And like I said, I can't contribute anything to that.

282
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:24,360
So basically, it's making sure that the shaft,

283
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
it's making sure the shaft holes are opening and closing

284
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,640
at the right time.

285
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,240
Yes, and it makes sure that if you're.

286
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,440
Oh, it's like your throat.

287
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,560
It's making sure that the trachea is not

288
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,640
open at the same time as the esophagus

289
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,960
because then you'd be trying to swallow food

290
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,520
and then you choke on it.

291
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,360
Yeah, OK.

292
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Sure.

293
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Or you get air in your belly and then you get air belly.

294
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,880
Yeah.

295
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,640
Basically, whenever you are driving,

296
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,720
if you're going, you hit the gas real hard

297
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,520
and you could see your little thing,

298
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,560
your RPMs going up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

299
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,160
The timing belt is when it'll kick what right

300
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,040
it's supposed to kick right before you red line.

301
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,360
So that so that your holes aren't open

302
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,920
and then you get a catastrophe.

303
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,280
Yeah, I happen to another car of mine.

304
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,760
I red lined an old Cobalt of mine and shot and yeah.

305
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,240
Sounds like you've just been really vindictive

306
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,680
on your cars.

307
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,480
No, I mean, the first car we got suckered in.

308
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,720
Did you used to deliver pizza?

309
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,360
Well, yeah.

310
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Man, people deliver pizza really mess up some cars.

311
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,960
Yeah, delivery is not.

312
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,840
Yeah, my brother was the same way.

313
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,320
If you're delivering pizzas, don't get a nice car.

314
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:30,800
No.

315
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Get a beater for that.

316
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,920
Yeah.

317
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,560
All right.

318
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:34,640
This one feels pretty easy.

319
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Fuel pump.

320
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,080
It pumps the fuel to the engine to get it combusted.

321
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,200
It pumps the fuel.

322
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,360
I mean, yeah, exactly.

323
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,040
Delivers fuel from the tank to the engine.

324
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Yeah, of course.

325
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,000
OK, another simple one.

326
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,440
Axle.

327
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,160
It's the basically what put the holds the wheels together

328
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,760
and basically it's part of the frame of the car, essentially.

329
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Yeah, so if you if you follow it from a straight line,

330
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,960
well, it's not part of the frame.

331
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,120
The frame is body.

332
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,720
Oh, yeah.

333
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,440
But you can't but car kit car no go with no axel.

334
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,720
No, you go straight line engine power engine

335
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,200
go transmission transmission take power go to axle.

336
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Yeah.

337
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,600
Yeah.

338
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,680
Yeah, I mean, simple muffler.

339
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,400
That's the part of the exhaust system.

340
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,160
Yeah, it expels unused vapors.

341
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,800
Yeah, but what is the muffler?

342
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,840
Oh, it's supposed to be a filter to make it

343
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,760
a little more carbon efficient.

344
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360
What else is a muffler do?

345
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,840
Think of the word muffles the sound of the yeah.

346
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,200
See, because the word muffler mean to muffle.

347
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,680
Yeah, reduces noise by dampening sound waves.

348
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,440
And it just directs exhaust gases safely out of the vehicle,

349
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,800
of course.

350
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,320
OK, now we're up to the one that actually inspired

351
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,560
this entire episode.

352
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,520
All right.

353
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Differential.

354
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,320
Now, here we're going to this one,

355
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,800
we're going to pause the co-op portion because this one

356
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
before I had the idea for this episode,

357
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,960
I watched a video about how a differential works.

358
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:08,920
I have no clue.

359
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,000
So I know what a differential is,

360
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,800
and I could point it out at work on a car.

361
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,360
When I walk past, we're going to have a shout out,

362
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,120
when I walk past Corey's station at the service shop,

363
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,920
I can see it.

364
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,320
And I pointed it out the other day to myself.

365
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,320
What does it do?

366
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Well, the base word of different, it's differentiate.

367
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,400
Yeah, that is a crucial component.

368
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,800
Does it diff, I'm assuming it differentiates

369
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,000
between using either electrical power or combustion

370
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,680
power for the engine.

371
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Is that your final answer?

372
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,160
I'm going to have to say it's my final answer because it's

373
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,600
the only thing I can think of.

374
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,280
OK, so before I read, I'm going to go ahead and give

375
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,960
what I remember from the video I watched.

376
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,520
So basically, the differential is on, well,

377
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,600
with a lot of vehicle.

378
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,000
I think it's usually on the part of the vehicle that's

379
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,320
not the drive axle.

380
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,120
OK, so what?

381
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,200
Like front wheel drive and rear wheel drive.

382
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,920
So in the case of the car I was looking at,

383
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,880
most cars I've seen, it would be on the back, the back wheels.

384
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,440
And it might always be on the back wheels.

385
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,280
This might be something I'm misremembering.

386
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,800
Because sports cars are front wheel drive,

387
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,760
so it would be on the front, rear wheel drive,

388
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,520
so it would be on the front.

389
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,800
No, no, no, I'm saying I don't know if the differential is

390
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,680
always like that.

391
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,200
But that's what I'm guessing, I think.

392
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,440
But from the way it works is that when you're directing

393
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,040
the power, in this case from the front wheels to the back,

394
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,760
when the wheels turn, the back wheels, they don't both

395
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,720
need to be turned the exact same amount.

396
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,520
If you just had an axle without a differential,

397
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,160
they'd both turn the same, and then the car

398
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,240
wouldn't turn properly.

399
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,800
One wheel needs to be turned more than the other.

400
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,560
And the differential between the two wheels

401
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,040
is done by the different gears in the differential.

402
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,040
So it basically takes the momentum and displaces it.

403
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,640
It changes the amount the wheel turns.

404
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,280
Yeah, it changes the amount of momentum the wheel turns.

405
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,520
OK, so let's see.

406
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,920
The differential allows the wheels

407
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360
to turn at different speeds, crucial for cornering.

408
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,840
Without it, tires would skid and wear unevenly during turns.

409
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,340
Ah, OK.

410
00:16:15,340 --> 00:16:16,360
Yeah, see?

411
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,080
So that way, yeah, that's what inspired this.

412
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560
And yeah, I didn't know before I watched that video.

413
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,640
So that one, I don't get any points for because I had looked

414
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,360
it up, and you don't get any points for it because, yeah, we

415
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,280
I'm a big dumb brain.

416
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,120
Yeah, we had no idea.

417
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Here's one we're also going to have no idea about.

418
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,320
CV joint, because first thing, what does CV stand for?

419
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,880
We're going to guess that first.

420
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Glutch variant?

421
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,040
Man, that's a really intelligent guess.

422
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,720
I mean, it's probably incredibly wrong.

423
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400
But I mean, it sounds really correct.

424
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Corner variable.

425
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,240
I don't know.

426
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Combustion variant or combustion variable maybe?

427
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,560
It probably has nothing to do with combustion.

428
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,200
But I mean, hey, it could be on the piston.

429
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,000
I don't know.

430
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,360
It's a CV joint, so it's got to do something with steering.

431
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,120
Usually, joints and.

432
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:06,120
That would make sense.

433
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:08,840
Yeah, joints and columns usually do something with the steering.

434
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,760
And they did put it in right after differential.

435
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,560
Which then makes me.

436
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,640
I'm going to say it's clutch variant.

437
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,560
OK, and I'm going to say I don't know what the CV stands for,

438
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,280
but maybe it is something coming off the differential.

439
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Well, let's see.

440
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,920
Simple answer, enables the drive shaft

441
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,560
to transmit power smoothly to the wheels.

442
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,960
OK, so it is something like a clutch.

443
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,400
Constant velocity.

444
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,200
Joy.

445
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,120
OK.

446
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,640
Allow the drive shaft to transmit power to the wheels

447
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,240
while accommodating steering and suspension movement.

448
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,200
Huh.

449
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Here's another one.

450
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,200
We've all heard of this.

451
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,120
What does it do?

452
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,720
Catalytic converter.

453
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,200
It's a part of the exhaust system.

454
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,280
It's attached to the muffler.

455
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,880
I think it's a mistake.

456
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,160
And it's a filtering system.

457
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,040
And it's also a part of muffling the sound.

458
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,120
Because I know from cars, I think

459
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:02,680
cars that are 30 years or older, you can cut out the cat.

460
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,680
And it's still legal.

461
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,760
OK, so that does make sense for me.

462
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,000
Because I know I have purchased a catalytic converter

463
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,600
in my life.

464
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,680
And at one point, I did have to replace the entire exhaust

465
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,040
system in a car.

466
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,840
So that makes sense that a catalytic converter

467
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,640
would be exhaust. Yeah, and I think

468
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,120
it feels like it's at the midway point.

469
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:23,640
Or maybe.

470
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,240
Yeah, it's at the midway point of your exhaust system.

471
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,560
That's what I'm guessing.

472
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,480
Yeah, so apparently, I would say it converts the catalyst.

473
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840
Or maybe it's a catalyst that converts.

474
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,320
Let's see what the answer is here.

475
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,440
This device reduces harmful emissions

476
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,880
by converting pollutants in the exhaust gases

477
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,040
into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide and water.

478
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,840
Bingo.

479
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,680
Oh, they're frequently targeted for theft

480
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,360
due to valuable metals inside.

481
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:51,840
Yes.

482
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:52,360
Nice.

483
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:53,600
They have copper in there.

484
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Maybe?

485
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,880
Well, whenever you see.

486
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,880
Have you ever noticed on sometimes

487
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,880
when you start your car up and you see water dripping out

488
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:01,800
of the exhaust?

489
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Yeah.

490
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,960
That's from the catalytic converter.

491
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,240
Oh, is it leaking out pollutants?

492
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,880
I mean, if it's working properly, no.

493
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Oh, so maybe the pollutants are just sitting in the metals.

494
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,880
Yes, maybe.

495
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,840
That might be how it works.

496
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,440
Yeah, true.

497
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,680
All right, so we know where this is in a car.

498
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,640
But what does it actually do?

499
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,800
A strut.

500
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,320
Struts are attached to the axles.

501
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:27,840
Oh, no, no.

502
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Struts are.

503
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,720
Which P?

504
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,760
Which, well, I mean, they're close to axles, if I remember.

505
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,960
So I'm trying to remember, are they in the front?

506
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,740
Or can I know shocks?

507
00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:40,160
I know there's shocks and springs.

508
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,560
So I think one's up front, one's in the back.

509
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,640
I'm trying to remember if shocks are in the back.

510
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,160
Because struts are in the rear.

511
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,000
I think struts are in the rear.

512
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,320
Rear sounds fine.

513
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,760
They deal with.

514
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,360
Yeah, rear sounds fine to me, too.

515
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:58,840
And yeah, it's suspension.

516
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,040
Yeah, they deal with the dispersion

517
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,720
of equalizing the weight.

518
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,440
So like when you hit a bump, it disperses.

519
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,240
So like nothing's, like not everything is crashing down

520
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,960
at the same time.

521
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,640
Yeah, bing, bing, boom, boom.

522
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,000
Suspension go bouncy.

523
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Yeah.

524
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,360
So yeah, struts are part of the suspension system.

525
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,680
Oh, it's the part that combines the shock absorber

526
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,680
and the coil spring.

527
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,400
OK.

528
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,360
Yeah, structural support and absorbing bumps

529
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:25,240
for a smoother ride.

530
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:25,720
OK.

531
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,840
So these next two are, well, the next few

532
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,760
are basically gimmies.

533
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,180
We'll just go through them quickly here.

534
00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:33,200
Air filter.

535
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,400
Well, there's two different ones.

536
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,760
I mean, yeah, well, the cabin filter and the.

537
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,720
Yeah, the regular air.

538
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,760
One filters the engine air and one filters the air.

539
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,720
And then the cabin air.

540
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,800
Yeah, I mean, that's incredibly simple.

541
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,560
Oil filter.

542
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,600
Keeps it, it cycles through oil.

543
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,240
It takes impurities out of the oil.

544
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:49,960
It takes impurities out of the gas.

545
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,680
And it's basically the you then use that as the plug.

546
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,200
Yeah.

547
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Which to drain your oil.

548
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,000
Yep.

549
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,600
Battery.

550
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,880
It's the thing that powers the electrical portions of your car.

551
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:01,560
Yeah.

552
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,160
Yeah, chat.

553
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,560
You really causes the spark plugs to have the combustion.

554
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,680
Yeah, that really that really threw it through us

555
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,640
some some softballs starter motor.

556
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,280
You can't start the car without it.

557
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,400
Yeah, I mean, it basically I would assume it takes power

558
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,320
from takes power from the battery

559
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,720
and ignite the combustion in the night.

560
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
The the the initial part of the combustion.

561
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,080
Yeah, that's the start.

562
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,440
Yeah, initiates combustion.

563
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,080
Yeah. Power steering pump.

564
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,120
Oh, every car modern has that like it's I mean, I would say it's

565
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,760
it's basically so you can control it because back in like.

566
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,360
Well, no, but specifically power steering pump.

567
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,160
Oh, it gives power steering fluid through the drive shaft.

568
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,720
Yeah. Yeah, it just injects the power steering fluid

569
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,920
that helps with your power steering.

570
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,920
Yes. Because as you were going to say back in like the 50s and 60s,

571
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,320
this wasn't a thing and you literally had to.

572
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,640
I mean, I think this goes even into the 80s like.

573
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,840
Yeah. When you had to or cheap, cheap cars in the 90s.

574
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,880
Maybe. Yeah. Oh, God.

575
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,440
Could you imagine driving the classic from Evil Dead movies?

576
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,720
How hard? I mean, the idea that back then,

577
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,760
if you were like a 70 or 80 year old trying to drive a car,

578
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,920
you either had to have some toned muscles.

579
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,200
Yeah. Or you just crashed.

580
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,560
Yeah. Because turning that wheel at a desperate moment.

581
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,400
Uh huh. Was difficult.

582
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,200
Yeah. But but then again, those cars were made to last.

583
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,560
So they. Yeah, you'd hit.

584
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,400
You'd hit a tree and just bounce off of it.

585
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,480
Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Nowadays, you are crumple.

586
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,240
Yeah. Now, you crumple with your crumple zone. Yes, you do.

587
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:40,120
Anyway, next up, I mean, water pump.

588
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,520
I don't know why your water pump guys.

589
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,280
What is it pumping water to?

590
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600
It's actually pumping water out.

591
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,880
Oh, so like it takes condensation.

592
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,840
It's going to take it's going to take condensation and excess water

593
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320
out of your fuel tank because as we know, water is bad.

594
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Yeah. Water bad for combustion engine. Yeah.

595
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,920
So does does Chachi Biti give us anything specific?

596
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,520
Oh, oh, see, that's weird because they call it a water pump.

597
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,000
But then it says the water pump circulates coolant through the engine

598
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
and radiator, preventing overheating.

599
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,120
Well, yeah, but that's very misleading.

600
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:16,840
Yeah. You don't use water anymore.

601
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,200
You just use actual radiator coolant. Yeah. Yeah.

602
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,320
And like, yeah. Yeah.

603
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,880
God damn it. They changed the name.

604
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,600
Yeah. Because I mean, I know actually, though, back in the day,

605
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,400
we used to just pour.

606
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Yeah. Water and water in there.

607
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,600
If you had a leak in your in your radiator system.

608
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,120
Yeah. Then you would just we would just pour.

609
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,560
You'd stop every once in a while.

610
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,000
Well, when the edges started smoking and you pour water in there

611
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,760
until you get home and find the leak and hopefully try to fix it,

612
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,640
probably with poor components that would then burn through.

613
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,360
And then you'd have the same problem again. Yeah.

614
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:48,720
Anyway, throttle body.

615
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,120
That is also part of the drive system.

616
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,960
It denotes the speed at which you would go.

617
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,240
I mean, I'm guessing that would be like the component

618
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,600
that transfers what you're doing with your foot on the pedal.

619
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,880
Yeah. To the piston.

620
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,480
Yeah, I think that's yeah, you're probably right on that one.

621
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,920
OK, let's see. It contains the oh, the throttle body controls

622
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,680
the amount of air entering the engine directly affecting

623
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,320
performance and fuel efficiency.

624
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,720
It is regulated by the driver's throttle input with the gas pedal.

625
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,800
OK, so we were kind of kind of. Yeah.

626
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,880
OK, well, here. Yeah, here's one that I've heard a lot.

627
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,720
And I would I have no idea how to explain it or visualize it.

628
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,400
Head gasket. I know what a gasket is.

629
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,720
I've handled so many gaskets.

630
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,560
I just handled a couple of gaskets today.

631
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,560
The head gasket is the one I think it's

632
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,480
because you hear all the time.

633
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,920
Oh, they got a blown head gasket.

634
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Got a blown gasket.

635
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,640
The head gasket, I think it's it definitely has to do something with,

636
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,680
again, the combustion, because I think it's the one that it's the gaskets.

637
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,520
The gaskets are a barrier between two metal components.

638
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,120
Yeah, I think it's the head gaskets, the barrier that allows

639
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,040
combustion to pass through easily without causing problems.

640
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,960
So I don't know.

641
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,120
That's my guess.

642
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,200
It allows the engine not to explode.

643
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,880
All right. Now, I have nothing to add to that conversation.

644
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,720
The head gasket seals the engine block and cylinder head,

645
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,920
preventing leaks of oil, coolant and combustion gases.

646
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,200
See, I was kind of right. Yeah. OK.

647
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,440
Yeah. So it's it's the yeah, between the engine and the cylinders.

648
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Make it not go kaboom.

649
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,400
All right. Another one we've heard a lot about intake manifold.

650
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,320
Uh, again, definitely a part of the

651
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,240
shit. It ain't a part of the exhaust system.

652
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,880
It's it intakes the air

653
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,520
that the engine is using,

654
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,840
and then it gets filtered through the air filter.

655
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,360
That's my assumption.

656
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:57,760
OK. Intake manifold distributes air to the engine cylinders

657
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,280
and ensures each cylinder gets an even amount of air for combustion.

658
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,040
I was kind of right.

659
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,280
But you really overestimate how right you are.

660
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,280
Kind of. Yeah.

661
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,920
All right. Next one.

662
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,600
Turbocharger. So if something is charged charging,

663
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,040
I think this has to do with engine performance or speed.

664
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Yeah, it has to deal with speed.

665
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,440
If you have a turbocharger in it, it just means your engine's going to

666
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,280
produce at a higher level and your car is going to go faster.

667
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840
What does it do? How do cars do?

668
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,320
How does turbocharger do?

669
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,520
It puts more torque in the engine.

670
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,640
You use the buzzword torque

671
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,120
puts more torque in your piss.

672
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,480
Puts more torque in your pistons.

673
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,840
Yep. Let's let's go with that.

674
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,600
Forces extra air into the engine cylinders, increasing power output.

675
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,840
It uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine that compresses the intake air.

676
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,600
And it could also be extremely bad.

677
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,360
Yeah. So we definitely didn't get that one.

678
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,240
All right. We're getting our ass kicked.

679
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,760
Here we go. This is a three part suite.

680
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,760
This is. Tell me the difference.

681
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,920
Let's let's figure out the difference between a cam shaft,

682
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,160
a crankshaft and a drive shaft.

683
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,120
Well, driveshaft sounds like it's self-explanatory.

684
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,240
That's the shaft that transfers power between the axles

685
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,280
between the axle.

686
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,840
Well, no, between the engine and the first axle.

687
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,600
Yeah, the first axle.

688
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,040
Yeah, that that was my thought.

689
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:41,960
Driveshaft is transferring the power from the engine to the drive axle.

690
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,360
The crankshaft is trans.

691
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:46,600
I would say it would be the one that transfers.

692
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,600
The oh, wait, we're forgetting how things work here.

693
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,280
So it would be driveshaft would be transferring power

694
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,080
from the engine to the transmission. Yes.

695
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,440
Then then we're thinking crankshaft is transmission to drive axle.

696
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,800
Yeah. And then camshaft is maybe from one axle to other axle.

697
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,520
Yep. That's what I'm thinking of this. Oh, high five.

698
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,120
I love a good preemptive high five before you know you're right or wrong.

699
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,400
We're probably so let's see.

700
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,720
So the driveshaft transfers power from the transmission

701
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,000
to the differential in the real real.

702
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,360
So what we thought was the camshaft is actually the drive.

703
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:32,520
Yeah. OK. Then. Oh.

704
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:38,120
Oh, the crankshaft converts the linear motion of the pistons

705
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,760
into rotational motion for the transmission.

706
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,080
So crankshaft is what we thought driveshaft was. OK.

707
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,840
Then the camshaft controls the opening and closing of the engine's intake

708
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,920
and exhaust valves.

709
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,480
Its timing is crucial for engine operation.

710
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,800
We were very wrong.

711
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,840
I mean, two of our answers were correct just for a different shaft.

712
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,280
And then the camshaft was about an entire thing altogether.

713
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,360
Half a point.

714
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,680
We get half a point for having correct assumptions about the wrong.

715
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,440
Yeah, yeah, we mix them up.

716
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,920
And then we get a negative half point for completely miss.

717
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,560
Yeah. So we break even.

718
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,320
We break even at zero. Anyway, oh, to sensor.

719
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,600
It's it's a basic thing.

720
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,000
It measures the oxygen level that's in your gasoline.

721
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,080
But but why?

722
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,200
Too much oxygen with your gasoline

723
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,840
could may possibly cause a combustion in your gas tank and go boom.

724
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,680
But we want combustion in the gas tank.

725
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,000
No, we don't want combustion in the gas.

726
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,640
It's a combust. It's a fuel combustion in the engine.

727
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,040
You don't want combustion in the gas tank. Huh?

728
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,840
I was going to go with it's testing how much oxygen it's putting into the

729
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,840
gas vapor, because if you have too much oxygen,

730
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,480
you'll make too big of a boom and you'll blow your engine.

731
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,360
Yeah, that's essentially the same thing.

732
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,440
No, you said the oxygen in the tank.

733
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,920
I said the oxygen entering the sense, the pistons.

734
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,720
Try to remember where the O2 sensors actually see.

735
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,040
Exactly. That's what we're about to find out. All right.

736
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,360
Yeah. And whichever one of us is right.

737
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,400
One of one of us is right.

738
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,200
And that person will get five extra bonus points. All right.

739
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Or we could both be wrong. That'd be fun.

740
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,640
The O2 sensor monitors the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases

741
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,800
to help optimize fuel air mixture and reduce emissions.

742
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,200
And we were both wrong.

743
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Ooh, wait, but help optimize fuel air mixture.

744
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,400
That sounds a lot more like what's going in the pistons.

745
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,600
All right. You can have the bonus points.

746
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,680
I'll take two and a half bonus points because I was only kind of right.

747
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,720
All right. All right.

748
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,160
I knew nothing about the exhaust part of it.

749
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,840
All right. Wheel bearing.

750
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:56,720
Ball bearing. Oh, that's a part of the actual.

751
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,680
It's it's at the end of the axle.

752
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,600
So, yes. But we know bearings like ball bearings.

753
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,600
We're talking about ball bearings.

754
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,600
It's to let the it's to turn.

755
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,240
It helps your it helps your tire helps the wheelies turn.

756
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,480
No, like turn like you're turning.

757
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,080
I was thinking it was for the actual turning.

758
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,240
I'm pretty well, I mean, it helps with all kind of turning.

759
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,400
That's why it would be a bearing, because it would be like on an axis.

760
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,480
That way it can rotate so it can go side to side.

761
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,640
So like you're turning left to right and it can go forward and backward.

762
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,560
It's on a 360 degree axis.

763
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,800
So obviously, it's going to allow the wheel to go front.

764
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,960
So that I decide that would be why.

765
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,360
So that would be why it's a ball.

766
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,600
Yes. And then it's a ball that then allows for.

767
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,680
Yes, it's basically.

768
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,680
That's what I'm looking for. A gyroscope.

769
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,400
OK, all right, let's go with that.

770
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,240
And wheel bearings allow the wheels to rotate smoothly

771
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,800
while supporting the vehicle's weight.

772
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,160
See, that makes me feel like I'm more right,

773
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,680
because I literally said it was for the just the rotation.

774
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,080
The wheels go rotation had nothing to do with turning.

775
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,560
Seems like I'm I mean, we're doing co-op.

776
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360
So we either both win or both lose.

777
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,120
I think we're both kind of losing right now. Exactly.

778
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,480
But I feel like one of us has to win more than the other one

779
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,880
or one of us has to lose more than the other one.

780
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,800
And on that specific answer, I won more.

781
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,040
Yeah, of course.

782
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,640
I won one one point one points and you.

783
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,800
Had point five, six points.

784
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,160
Yeah, that's probably all the points I have so far.

785
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,320
No, we got a lot of points together.

786
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,720
All right, here's here's something I've literally never heard of.

787
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,760
EGR valve.

788
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,960
I mean, it seems like it would EGR seems like it'd be a

789
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,360
a thousand mile long.

790
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,520
But what's the word I'm looking for?

791
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,720
Shortening of word.

792
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,920
Yeah, it's an acronym.

793
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,960
Acronym for energy.

794
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,640
It's EGR is an acronym, and that's not how an acronym works.

795
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Or no, I meant like an acronym would be three.

796
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480
The letters each correspond to a word.

797
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Electric gyroscopic rotation.

798
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,840
No. And sadly, Chachi B.T.

799
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,440
spoiled this one for me.

800
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:18,280
So we'll continue with its exhaust gas recirculation valve.

801
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,520
Oh, so what it do exhaust gas recirculation.

802
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:27,160
I would assume it would just if it's not too toxic, it just recirculates

803
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,800
the gases back into the engine for reuse.

804
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,800
I'm going to say the exact opposite that it recirculates gas

805
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,320
that has too many pollutants to get more out of them.

806
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,800
OK, let's see. Let's see if we're both wrong.

807
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by recirculating a portion

808
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,320
of exhaust gas back into the engine.

809
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,000
I was kind of right.

810
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,320
We were both kind of right.

811
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,760
Half point. Yeah, because I said it.

812
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,400
I said it would it there was a thing it needed to get rid of.

813
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,560
And you said it would recirculate back to the engine.

814
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,160
So, yeah, we were both there together.

815
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,360
We earn one point. Yay.

816
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,480
Hooray. Cooperative times.

817
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,480
Anyway, what's a tie rod?

818
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,160
And not tie rod tailor.

819
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,760
We're not talking about time.

820
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,480
It's definitely it's the last part of the axle.

821
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,760
I think it's the one that hooks the tire onto the axle.

822
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,040
Oh, it ties the wheel to the to the axle.

823
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,000
That's what I think it is. OK.

824
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,680
I have no other guesses, so we're going to be going with yours.

825
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,160
Yeah, this is basically wrong.

826
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,920
This is basically are you smarter than a fifth grader?

827
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,800
And you're my student. Oh, that I'm choosing.

828
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,200
So both of our fates are tied to your answer.

829
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,200
Are you ready? Yeah.

830
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,600
Are you ready for that pressure?

831
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,560
No. Are you ready to carry both of us on your back?

832
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,480
Even? Well, I'm on your back and you're carrying just yourself.

833
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,600
You are your own back. Fuck it. Let's do it.

834
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,600
Yay. Let's see what a tie rod is.

835
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Connects the steering rack to the wheels, enabling precise steering.

836
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,760
Quarter of a point.

837
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,200
I mean, the word wheels is in there, I guess.

838
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,000
So it's sort of kind of there.

839
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,880
Anyway, control arm.

840
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:15,880
OK, so the control arm is going to be the arm that can.

841
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,720
It's the component that controls the arm.

842
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:24,240
This the I'm going to say it controls how the wheels turn and

843
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,560
or controls the speed of the wheels.

844
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,560
It's either or. Hmm.

845
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,240
Control arm. I honestly think it controls turning.

846
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,280
It has to deal with turning.

847
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,280
I think it connects to the tie rod and it's the thing.

848
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,000
Yeah, that connects the tie rod to the actual wheels,

849
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,600
links the suspension to the car's frame.

850
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,200
Oh, God, we were way off.

851
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Allowing the wheels to move up and down while maintaining stability.

852
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,560
Yeah, we we. That's that's completely off.

853
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,560
Yeah.

854
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,640
Hey, what about brake caliper?

855
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,280
Oh, shit, I know this because I've changed brakes before.

856
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,720
Yeah, I have as well. Caliper.

857
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:05,720
What's a caliper do?

858
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:11,520
I believe a caliper is what holds the brake pad on.

859
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,360
Yes, the calipers are what hold the pad to the rotor.

860
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,360
Yeah, I think so.

861
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Caliper houses the brake pads and presses them against the rotor to create friction.

862
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,560
Yep. We got that one perfectly and completely correct.

863
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,560
We've actually changed brakes before. Yeah, I have a couple of times.

864
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,240
Yeah, that's it.

865
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:35,480
It was never fun because the portion leading up to that involved almost crashing.

866
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Yeah, because you went too long without changing your brakes.

867
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,680
Hooray. OK, here's it here.

868
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,240
This this is an easy one. Fuel injector.

869
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,080
It injects fuel into the fuel pump, which does it.

870
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,080
No, wait.

871
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,600
Fuel pump probably pumps into the injector and the injector pumps it into the engine.

872
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,360
Yeah, it pumps it into the into the piston space.

873
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,280
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

874
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:04,120
And I'm pretty sure the fuel injector is also what controls the level,

875
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,240
the amount of fuel, the amount of fuel that it's putting in.

876
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,080
Yes. And the balance of like fuel and air.

877
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,080
Yeah.

878
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,480
Sprays fuel directly in the combustion chamber or intake manifold in precise amounts.

879
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,680
Dirty injectors are what control the fuel.

880
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,480
Amounts dirty injectors can lead to poor engine performance,

881
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,360
which is why I would always buy fuel injector cleaner.

882
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,080
Yep. That you'd put into your gas.

883
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. See, that's it's got to throw us a softball.

884
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,320
Oh, and by the time this episode comes out, I would like to remind all of you listeners

885
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,920
to please get some fuel injector cleaner because it will be winter up here in the up

886
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,400
here in the north and also get some of that other stuff.

887
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,080
I can't remember what it's called, but it helps limit water in your gas tank.

888
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,440
Yes. So you don't get ice crystals.

889
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,120
Do as Mike says and get some stuff for the thing.

890
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,840
The stuff just put the dry gas.

891
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,600
It's called dry gas. Get dry gas.

892
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,480
Oh, I've never heard of that.

893
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,080
Yeah. You put it in your gas tank and it's supposed to help absorb water molecules.

894
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,000
That way it does not. You don't get ice crystals in your fuel.

895
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,400
Ta-da. Ta-da.

896
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,280
Car tips from Mike. It's great.

897
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,320
Anyway, what's an ABS module?

898
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,800
ABS module, as we all know, ABS stands for anti-lock brake system.

899
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,280
So that relegates.

900
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,760
So how do you how do anti-lock brakes work?

901
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,440
When you if you have to come to a hard, complete stop,

902
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,640
your brakes don't lock back in.

903
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,680
Go back as early as the early 90s.

904
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,360
If you would hit your brakes too hard, your brakes would lock

905
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,240
and you'd literally have to sit there and wait for them to cool down enough to release.

906
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,520
Yeah. And didn't that mean that they would actually tell you to pump your brakes?

907
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,680
Yes. Rather than hold it down. Yes.

908
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:55,840
Yeah. So now you can just literally slam your brakes as hard as you want.

909
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Well, you shouldn't do that either.

910
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,760
Well, you shouldn't.

911
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,000
And I always start stopping long before anything where I need to stop.

912
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,520
And that's why you drive defensively so that you don't wear out your car faster.

913
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,680
Bingo. Yeah.

914
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:14,640
So I would just assume that the module that makes the anti-lock brakes not lock.

915
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,040
Yeah, it basically.

916
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,280
Yeah, it relegates brake pressure you put on.

917
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,760
OK. Thank you.

918
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,200
See, those are some great direct exacting words.

919
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,720
Regulates brake pressure.

920
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,800
Let's see. Let's see how it does.

921
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,600
Yeah. Prevents the wheels from locking down during hard braking,

922
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,960
improves vehicle control and reduces stopping distances on slippery surfaces.

923
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,240
Honestly, I think you get two points for that,

924
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:39,760
because you were more specific. Thank you.

925
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Even though we don't have exact knowledge that what you said

926
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:46,200
meant anything, but it sounded correct.

927
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:48,520
Well, even though when you're going down a slippery slope, you're still

928
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,080
you should still pump your brakes instead of. Yeah.

929
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,720
Well, holding on to them, because then you know, that is that is good advice

930
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:57,560
to never overreact.

931
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Yeah. To anything you're doing when you're like in a potential

932
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,920
dangerous situation with a car.

933
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,280
Don't slam your brakes. Don't swerve.

934
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,440
Do things as as under reactive as possible.

935
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,680
And you'll end up probably in a much safer position.

936
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,880
I mean, unless there's a meteor coming directly down in front of you,

937
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,320
then maybe slam that wheel, maybe hit your emergency brake.

938
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,760
Yeah. Anyway, just put your car to the nearest tree if you see that meteor.

939
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,600
Because either way, you're going out in a fiery ball of hellscape.

940
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,680
All right. Here's an incredibly hard one, Michael.

941
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,000
I mean, you should just throw your brain in the toilet

942
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,160
because there's no way you're going to get this. Oh, no.

943
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,480
Windshield washer pump.

944
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,240
Oh, no, I have no idea.

945
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,200
No, we're just ending this episode right now and we're ending the podcast

946
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,800
and we're both going to throw ourselves off cliff.

947
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,840
Wait, no, I might have an idea.

948
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,880
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Do you think, you know, I might have an idea.

949
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,040
All right. Give it to us.

950
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,640
It pumps your windshield washer fluid directly

951
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,520
to the nozzles that are attached to your windshield.

952
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:01,600
So you clean your windshield.

953
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,320
Oh, my God. I where did you get that from?

954
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,160
It came to me in a vision.

955
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,360
Yeah. Chachy BT really dropped the ball on

956
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,560
the ordering of these that I asked it to do because I said to put,

957
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,240
you know, easier to harder and it threw that one in at number 36.

958
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,240
OK, wonderful.

959
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:27,880
Then now we go to steering knuckle, which I've literally

960
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,120
I deal with a lot of parts at work.

961
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,040
The knuckles attached to the ball joint.

962
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,320
I know that much. Ah.

963
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,760
And then the ball joint would be part of the.

964
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,480
Yeah. Yeah. The steering system, steering system.

965
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,200
So but but I do a lot of stuff like, well, let's just say we work

966
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,400
and we work in a parts.

967
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,440
Yeah, we get a lot of knuckles in all the time.

968
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,120
But we work in a parts department.

969
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,040
Yeah, I will say looking at the descriptions of items.

970
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,240
I've never seen this.

971
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:56,160
I've never seen the words steering knuckle.

972
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,520
I've ordered a few. OK.

973
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,160
Well, maybe it's one of those things where when I'm looking at parts,

974
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,000
the company kind of like has a slightly weird descriptive

975
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,960
descriptive word in the system for it.

976
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,400
Well, yeah, I mean, GM parts are going to be named certain things

977
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,000
and then Honda parts are going to be named.

978
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,400
It could be named something different. Yeah. And.

979
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,000
What have we ever known a corporation to not be,

980
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,920
you know, confusing when it comes to their own systems?

981
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,600
Yeah, we could tell a lot of stories about that one.

982
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,080
Maybe that's an episode for the future.

983
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,760
Yep. Retail hell.

984
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,280
That that could be an episode.

985
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,600
Yes. Stories of retail hell.

986
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:36,320
And can we top them with our own? Yep.

987
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,760
Anyway, steering knuckle, you kind of said a thing

988
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:45,480
connects the suspension components and steering linkage to the wheel hub.

989
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,280
It allows for wheel rotation and steering movement.

990
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,000
Well, yeah, half a point.

991
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,800
Yeah, I mean, it connects the the steering to the to the wheels.

992
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,520
Yeah, in a way.

993
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,680
Yes, a part of that line from A to B.

994
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,400
Clutch master cylinder.

995
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,840
I've replaced one of these as well.

996
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,840
Is this I'm going to assume this is basically for manual cars, correct?

997
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,960
I don't know. I haven't looked at the answer yet.

998
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:14,920
Clutch master cylinder.

999
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,360
I basically my guess is going to be it's for manual cars

1000
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,800
and it is the master control for the clutch. It's.

1001
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,480
Oh, yeah, because the word clutch doesn't really come in much in operating.

1002
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,680
Yeah. I mean, an automatic. Yeah.

1003
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,400
But there could. But that's the thing, though.

1004
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,280
This thing could be the thing that's doing the clutch portion.

1005
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,640
Oh, you know what? You stick. You stick with your answer.

1006
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,440
I'm going to say that the master clutch master cylinder

1007
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,200
is doing the thing you used to do with the clutch pedal,

1008
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,120
but it's doing it for you in an automatic. OK.

1009
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,960
So OK, we have opposing answers here. Yes, we do.

1010
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,560
Let's see what's going on. The clutch master cylinder converts

1011
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,880
the driver's pedal input into hydraulic pressure,

1012
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,800
which engages and disengages the clutch.

1013
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,560
I was sort of right. Yeah.

1014
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,240
I yeah, I think that means yeah, for clutch operation,

1015
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,560
converts pedal pressure in the hydraulic force.

1016
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,320
No, I think you change your gears. Yeah.

1017
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,240
I think you were fully right because it mentioned pedals. Yeah.

1018
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,440
Yeah. OK. Sweet.

1019
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,240
So I think that would be something you would find in like some of the sports cars.

1020
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:24,800
Sports cars, your big rigs, anything dealing with a clutch,

1021
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,200
anything that has a clutch, you're going to have to deal with that.

1022
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,520
OK. Yeah. All right. So here. Yeah.

1023
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,320
So we're on to our final two.

1024
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,920
And yeah, I don't I've heard of both of these.

1025
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,120
I have no idea. So let's see. Let's see what you know.

1026
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,200
Harmonic balancer.

1027
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,280
Pass. Yeah. So harmonic.

1028
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,880
So we have harmony.

1029
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,800
We're trying to keep things in harmony, balancing harmonies.

1030
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,840
I'm thinking that's something new with vibrations.

1031
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,440
Yeah. I'm going to either guess it's got to do something with either.

1032
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,720
It's dispense. It's the dispersion of energy from bumps and potholes.

1033
00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:05,120
Yes, I was thinking maybe it's creating a harmony by balancing the

1034
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,200
the bumpiness between the sides of the car.

1035
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,720
Yeah. Side to the other. Yeah.

1036
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:14,000
So like it's dispersing it between the shocks and the struts.

1037
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,560
OK, so you're saying from front to back. Yeah.

1038
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,240
I'm saying from left to right. OK.

1039
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,440
It could be both or it could be one of the other.

1040
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,280
Let's see. Or it's going to be neither.

1041
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,320
This component reduces all we're both wrong.

1042
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,880
Yeah, I figured this component reduces engine vibration

1043
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,520
and ensures the crankshaft operates smoothly.

1044
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:36,800
It is especially critical in high revving engines.

1045
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,560
So the cars. Yeah.

1046
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,000
So the harmony it's balancing is the vibration from the engine.

1047
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,520
OK, not from bumpy.

1048
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,800
Should have think should have thought about harmony, vibrations, vibrato.

1049
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,760
I should have. Yeah, I mean, I did.

1050
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,880
But I assumed it was the vibration of bumpy booze.

1051
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,880
Yeah, it wasn't bumpy booze. It was.

1052
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,120
It was room. Yeah, it was room. It's room from the bumpy booze. OK.

1053
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:03,120
So here's our final part for this long body of our podcast today.

1054
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,320
The sway bar. Oh, this has nothing to do

1055
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,200
with a hot, sexy woman swaying her butt to cheeks.

1056
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,880
At a bar. It is a car part.

1057
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,240
And what does it do?

1058
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:19,240
I'm going to go back to it has to deal with steering.

1059
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,120
Sway bar.

1060
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,520
So the sway of the steering.

1061
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,000
Yeah, that's what I'm going to say.

1062
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,480
I'm going to say it's going to be this.

1063
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,120
I'm going to say it's attached to the steering column and it has to deal with

1064
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,000
steel, it has to deal with stabilizing, stabilizing your steering.

1065
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,200
Yeah. You know what?

1066
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,200
I'm going to steal my answer from the last one.

1067
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,520
I think this has to do with sway of the bumpies left to right.

1068
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,000
All right. Let's see.

1069
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,520
The sway bar.

1070
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:51,560
Oh, the sway bar, also called an anti roll bar,

1071
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,360
connects the suspension on opposite sides of the car

1072
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,600
to reduce body roll during cornering.

1073
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:01,000
No bumpy booze.

1074
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,440
The bumpy booze on the side to side.

1075
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,920
I got that one completely right.

1076
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,080
There you go. There we go.

1077
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,800
Pretty much. Yeah.

1078
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:09,400
We'll give it to you.

1079
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,480
That was my greatest victory in this episode.

1080
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,880
Yes. Yeah. OK.

1081
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,320
Your greatest victory was.

1082
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,240
Well, probably the knuckle.

1083
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:17,880
Yeah. Well, I kind of think yours.

1084
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,560
Oh, and the ABS system.

1085
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,960
Yeah, I kind of think yours is just general knowledge that you have about cars.

1086
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,160
No, the greatest victory.

1087
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,920
The washer pump.

1088
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,880
Oh, my God. Yeah.

1089
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,360
I mean, I was completely lost on that one.

1090
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,320
I had no clue.

1091
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,880
That's the greatest victory.

1092
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,000
I think we're going to windshield washer pump.

1093
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,120
I think we're going to etch that on your tombstone.

1094
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,000
He knows what to do.

1095
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,600
He knows what washer do, washer pump do.

1096
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:43,480
OK. Yeah.

1097
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,280
So that means that that was a fun game, I think.

1098
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,040
Oh, yeah.

1099
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,520
And I feel like we made asses of ourselves enough.

1100
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,960
Yeah, we definitely did.

1101
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,680
We'll absolutely have to post this to like our slash

1102
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,120
our our automation garage boys.

1103
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:02,960
Yeah, no. Put this every use this episode in your vocational schools

1104
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,920
to don't be like these idiots.

1105
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,120
Oh, yeah. This is like dump Goofus and Galant.

1106
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,480
Yeah. Yeah.

1107
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,320
If you remember that from Highlights magazine in your dentist office.

1108
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,000
Oh, God. Yeah.

1109
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,080
So like basically every subreddit has to do with auto repair.

1110
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,360
Like we need to put this on there.

1111
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,160
Yeah. Like, don't listen to this.

1112
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,240
We need to post this everywhere.

1113
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:25,840
If you want a good laugh about people who don't know shit about cars,

1114
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:26,840
listen to this. Yeah.

1115
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,560
And make sure you comment telling us how dumb we are.

1116
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,360
We'll love it. Yeah, because we know we know.

1117
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,440
Yeah. So just a couple of little things here.

1118
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,920
I wanted to ask, actually, you know what?

1119
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,080
This portion we are done with the we're done with the co-op portion.

1120
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,320
This is now because you work primarily more in auto body parts.

1121
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,400
Yeah. And I'm going to ask you.

1122
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,160
Oh, no, this is a lightning round.

1123
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,000
So you need to be quick. All right.

1124
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,080
Five specific questions related to automotive body repair.

1125
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,640
You got it. What is the purpose of a quarter panel

1126
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,920
and how is it typically replaced or repaired in a collision?

1127
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:05,920
The purpose of the quarter panel is it's the it's the quarter side of the of the

1128
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,240
of the car which houses the door.

1129
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,080
It houses the door. Yeah.

1130
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,800
Where's it at? Where's it located?

1131
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,600
Either side, left or right side of the car.

1132
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,720
But where? It's usually passenger side.

1133
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,280
No, but where located between where the driver?

1134
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,040
It's located between the front of the car and the back of the car.

1135
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,320
No, it's located between the rear door and the trunk or tailgate. Yes.

1136
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,520
In a collision, how do they how do they how do they fix it?

1137
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,760
You cut it off and you replace it with a new one.

1138
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,960
It OK. I mean, I'll give that I'll give that part of it to you.

1139
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,000
You'll weld it. Yeah, you'll weld it and replace it with fillers. Yes.

1140
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:41,960
All right. Cool.

1141
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,960
How does a technician determine whether a bumper cover

1142
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,800
needs to be repaired or completely replaced?

1143
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,000
Just citing damage, scratches, breaks, cracks.

1144
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,920
You aren't reading off this thing, are you? No.

1145
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,040
Oh, my God. You like put so many keywords in.

1146
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,920
Yeah, breaks or scratches or cracks.

1147
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:00,760
How if it's dented, if it's massively dented, if it snapped it fucking half.

1148
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,880
Oh, my God, you're a fucking genius.

1149
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:07,240
What steps are involved in ensuring a color match during paint refinishing,

1150
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,880
especially for metallic or pearl finishes?

1151
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,320
You got to match paint numbers to the VIN.

1152
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,800
I mean, they use specialized color matching software.

1153
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,640
I mean, we have a boy that does that for us. Yeah.

1154
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,400
But you usually match it. You have to find you have the every car

1155
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,880
is going to have a specific paint that matches the VIN.

1156
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,720
You have to match. Yeah. And what do you have to do?

1157
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:31,760
Yeah. So what else do you have to account for in that?

1158
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,160
Depending on if it's got sparklies in it or not.

1159
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,680
Lighting, aids of the vehicle and type of paint.

1160
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,640
But I'll give it to you. You're amazing.

1161
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,720
What tools and techniques are used to remove dents without damaging the paint,

1162
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:51,240
as in paintless dent repair, rubber mallets, suction cups and shit?

1163
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:52,920
I don't know. There was a third one.

1164
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,680
All right. Not giving you that one.

1165
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,880
Tools like rods and picks to gently push the dent out from the inside of the panel.

1166
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,680
Rod. Rod and pick. All right.

1167
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,440
You're only down one, but you're so far ahead.

1168
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,360
You think you can get the last one for the win.

1169
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,000
What are the structural considerations when repairing or replacing

1170
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,680
a vehicle's A pillar after an accident?

1171
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,560
I have no clue. Yeah. What's an A pillar?

1172
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,080
We've never had to deal. I have not had to deal with that yet.

1173
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,600
And you know why you haven't? Why?

1174
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,680
Because Jeff or that other guy does.

1175
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,280
Oh, it's for glass.

1176
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,680
It's critical to the vehicle.

1177
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,680
Structural integrity and supports the windshield repairs or replacements

1178
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,680
must restore the factory weld points, maintain alignment and comply

1179
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,080
with OEM specifications to ensure safety.

1180
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,480
Now bring it all home by telling me what OEM stands for.

1181
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,880
Oh, Michael.

1182
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,680
Fuck. Michael OEM.

1183
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,880
I thought this was a softball order.

1184
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,880
No, no.

1185
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,880
Oh, my God.

1186
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,280
You've been exposed. Operational.

1187
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,080
No. Fuck.

1188
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,080
What is OEM?

1189
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,480
OEM is your specific parts.

1190
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:05,880
GM parts are GM.

1191
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,480
Like when you get OE for GM, you get GM parts.

1192
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,280
When you get OEM for Hyundai, you get Hyundai parts.

1193
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,280
So what's OEM stand for?

1194
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:14,680
It's not order.

1195
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,280
Oh, God. Oh, no.

1196
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,480
This is I don't think I've ever asked.

1197
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,280
Oh, God.

1198
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,680
This is like when I found out that the OEM is not an order.

1199
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,680
I found out that K's Jewelers, every kiss begins with K.

1200
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,680
Yes, it begins with K, like K, K-A-Y.

1201
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,880
But it also stands for K because K is the letter that starts with kiss.

1202
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,280
Operational.

1203
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:37,480
No.

1204
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:38,680
I don't know.

1205
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,880
Oh, my God. It's original equipment manufacturer.

1206
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,880
Oh, God. I never asked.

1207
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,680
I think I knew that.

1208
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,880
But because I read it here, I can't tell you if I actually knew it.

1209
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:49,680
Yeah.

1210
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,280
But I think I did because OEM is the original parts.

1211
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,080
Yes.

1212
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,680
And you had to make the car in the first place.

1213
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:56,480
Yes.

1214
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,880
And when you replace the parts, you either get OE.

1215
00:52:58,880 --> 00:52:59,880
Aftermarket.

1216
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:00,880
Or aftermarket.

1217
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,080
Or in some cases, refurbished.

1218
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:04,880
Salvage.

1219
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,480
Salvage. Yeah, that's the worst.

1220
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:12,280
We could do an entire thing about OE versus aftermarket versus salvage.

1221
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:13,080
Yes, we could.

1222
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,080
And how insurance companies are the worst.

1223
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,680
Yes.

1224
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,080
OK, so that was Auto Body.

1225
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:24,680
Here's some extra bonus nuggets that Chachibetee wanted us to know.

1226
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:25,680
Let's hear it.

1227
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:30,280
Modern cars use a mix of steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, and plastics.

1228
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,680
Mostly plastics.

1229
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,880
The idea that aerodynamics in body design are engineered for fuel

1230
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,480
performance and efficiency.

1231
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,480
That's common knowledge.

1232
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:45,880
There are certain body shops that are now using 3D scanners.

1233
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,280
And I bet you the next thing is going to be 3D printing of body parts.

1234
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,680
I've always talked about that.

1235
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,480
I mean, that'd be pretty cool.

1236
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,080
But then wouldn't that make you out of a job?

1237
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,280
I'll just learn how to 3D print, bro.

1238
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,480
Yeah.

1239
00:53:58,480 --> 00:53:59,880
Self-healing paints.

1240
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:01,080
I've heard of this one.

1241
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,880
A clear coat that can repair minor scratches when exposed to heat.

1242
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:05,880
That's actually pretty interesting.

1243
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:06,680
That'd be pretty cool.

1244
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:07,680
Haven't seen it at work yet.

1245
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:08,880
No, no, no.

1246
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,280
The unsung heroes are seam sealers and undercoating.

1247
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,080
I always thought that was a scam.

1248
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,680
While not glamorous, seam sealers and undercoatings

1249
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,280
play a crucial role in preventing rust and reinforcing the vehicle's structure.

1250
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,480
Hey, that's what another coworker just had done to their new car.

1251
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:24,280
Yeah.

1252
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:25,480
Anyway.

1253
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,280
Yeah, there's some other stuff here.

1254
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,980
But I think we're in a good place to stop.

1255
00:54:30,980 --> 00:54:32,080
Yeah.

1256
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:38,080
So hope you guys find this hilarious because we're morons when it comes to this.

1257
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:43,280
I absolutely want every mechanic in the world to get a good chuckle.

1258
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,480
And then give us a discount on auto repairs.

1259
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:46,880
Yes, please.

1260
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,480
If you fix my car and do it for a decent amount of money and don't screw me over,

1261
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:52,880
I'll bring you chocolate.

1262
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,880
And we'll give you a shout out.

1263
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:55,980
I mean, there is that too.

1264
00:54:55,980 --> 00:54:56,780
But I mean, we get our car.

1265
00:54:56,780 --> 00:54:57,680
We'll promote your business.

1266
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,480
We technically get our cars fixed at the place where we work.

1267
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:01,080
Yeah.

1268
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,080
And they give us a discount because we work there.

1269
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:03,880
Yes.

1270
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:04,880
But.

1271
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,680
Somebody else was to give us a better discount.

1272
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:07,080
Yeah.

1273
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,280
I mean, if we get fired for gross incompetence at some point.

1274
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,680
Like, yeah, after they listen to this podcast, it's a very big possibility.

1275
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:15,080
Oh, yeah.

1276
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,280
No.

1277
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,680
Somebody at another dealership that I went to pick apart from absolutely found it

1278
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,880
hilarious when I admitted to them that I know almost nothing about any of the parts

1279
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:24,880
I'm picking up.

1280
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,680
So they like to bring it up.

1281
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,480
And well, hey, I'm the one who told them.

1282
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,280
So, oh, what have we done to ourselves?

1283
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,080
We're going to expose it to the world.

1284
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,280
How fun is that?

1285
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,280
All right.

1286
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,580
So I feel like we won by giving chuckles to the world.

1287
00:55:39,580 --> 00:55:40,680
Yeah.

1288
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,080
That's another win in the column in the humans.

1289
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,280
No, that's a win for us.

1290
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:53,680
But I'm going to ask you directly the list all the content that's been provided for us.

1291
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:58,080
What grade do you?

1292
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:06,380
Mike, a grade do you give chat GPT for today's episode?

1293
00:56:06,380 --> 00:56:08,180
See.

1294
00:56:08,180 --> 00:56:09,780
For CDs, nuts.

1295
00:56:09,780 --> 00:56:10,980
You.

1296
00:56:10,980 --> 00:56:14,380
Hey, are you still listening?

1297
00:56:14,380 --> 00:56:15,980
Are you still out there?

1298
00:56:15,980 --> 00:56:19,480
Did you enjoy whatever stupid stuff we just talked about?

1299
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,080
Why don't you subscribe to us?

1300
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,980
Follow us.

1301
00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:25,280
I think that's what Spotify does.

1302
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,280
If it's on there.

1303
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,380
If it's not just like this, whatever.

1304
00:56:29,380 --> 00:56:29,780
I don't know.

1305
00:56:29,780 --> 00:56:31,480
Maybe this is a clip on Instagram.

1306
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:32,080
Who knows?

1307
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,880
Just wherever it's at.

1308
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,180
Do something with it.

1309
00:56:35,180 --> 00:56:36,080
Engage.

1310
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,380
And if your brains haven't fully turned into mushroom listening to us for the past hour,

1311
00:56:40,380 --> 00:56:45,580
make some suggestions in the comments for ideas, episodes, whatever thoughts on things.

1312
00:56:45,580 --> 00:56:50,080
If there's comments and if not, yeah, like I said, if we haven't turned your brains to

1313
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,280
mush yet, please do so.

1314
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:53,980
Leave a comment if you can.

1315
00:56:53,980 --> 00:56:59,580
If not, email us at windbreaker media at gmail.com.

1316
00:56:59,580 --> 00:57:00,780
It's all one word.

1317
00:57:00,780 --> 00:57:03,980
I know you don't want to get into it.

1318
00:57:03,980 --> 00:57:05,480
You weren't getting to the email.

1319
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,380
Chat GPT and I appreciate brevity.

1320
00:57:08,380 --> 00:57:10,380
Fuck you and chat GPT.

1321
00:57:10,380 --> 00:57:11,180
No swearing.

1322
00:57:11,180 --> 00:57:12,580
We'll see you all next time.

1323
00:57:12,580 --> 00:57:35,680
God damn it.
