My 3.4L V6 GM engine is more powerful today than it was back in 04. I changed out to Mobil 1 soon as I got it home. Been using it ever since. Changed out OE air filter to K&N. Changed out restrictive exhaust to dual exhaust with 1/2" larger pipes. Changed out to new OE plug wires. Bosch Iridium spark plugs. Change out AT fluid at 60000. Maintain the car all the time myself so I know the work is done correctly with the right fluids and oil. Changed to all LED lights, including dash light. Added performance tires and wheels which lets the vehicle roll easier (reduces road friction). Stuff like that.

Camshaft wear. I had an engine that was low on power. It ran just fine, quiet, smooth, started OK. It was the lowest power version fitted to this car so I thought it was normal. i decided to pep it up a bit with a performance cam, cylinder heads and headers. When i removed the cam it was so badly worn some valves must have been barely opening. Just replacing the cam with a new standard one would have given a substantial power increase. Once put back together the power increase with the performance parts was incredible!
@flagmichael6 жыл бұрын
An important detail about "knock" (detonation).... Detonation comes from either of two sources; ignition or pre-ignition. All vehicles sold in the USA since 1996 must have OBDII, which effectively demands monitored knock sensors. If the detonation is the result of ignition, retarding the spark (the system kicks it back a *lot*) controls it. If you hear pinging, it means you have pre-ignition caused by hot spots. Ignition timing does not control pre-ignition.

@ It depends on the engine build quality and design tbh, wear and conditions and environment the engine is used. Not all engines are created equal, take for example the 4G63 N/A SOHC, a legendary engine when properly used and maintained is just shy of immortal. This engine is so good and reliable the factory made it into DOHC Turbo (300+BHP) without taxing the reliability. Modders took it into more extreme tuning with many breaking the 1000+ BHP mark. Well if that engine can produce that power and reliably up to 700BHP, at the factory 115BHP it simply can never die with proper maintenance.

I've got 600,000kms from a Land cruiser all original still running like new when I sold it. As well as getting hundreds of thousands of kilometers from other cars. My tips: 1) don't use the oil your manufacturer recommends, use synthetic oil according to your climate grade. For example, Toyota put 5w-30 in engines in Australia where it gets to over 40c and the engine starts burning the oil. I use 15w-50 2) Change your fuel filter annually and if you have a diesel with mechanical injection pumps, use a good quality fuel stabilising additive that conditions seals and rings while removing contaminants and algae. 3) Don't forget gearbox oil changes, and if you have a 4WD, transfer and diff oils too. Don't forget to grease all grease points in the drive line and suspension. 4) Flush out your radiator properly, I mean removing hoses, flushing the heater core, making sure no hoses crunch with rust when squeezed and use coolant that feels slippery and silky between your fingers.

@bq5577x5 жыл бұрын
@@AbduulG well he is kinda true, 5w30 is really thin (like water thin) at high temperatures (speed), so on the highway for example. 5w40 would give you a bit more oil pressure and less wear. Most manufacturers use thin oil (0w20 or 5w20) for achieving better mpg (less friction after cold start). But it doesn't mean it's better for durability! I know it from tractors too, some used to burn a lot of oil on 10w30 but with 15w40 there is not a single issue! 10000hours and still no problem, (no oil burning) with an average of 40mph that would be 400000 miles! :) (And that's a lot!)
@raybin68734 жыл бұрын
I average 450,000 - 500,000 miles with my vehicles. Oil changes @ 3,000 miles - Wal-Mart SuperTech 10W-30 non synthetic oil - Bosch filters. At 100,000 mile mark - change manual trans & rear end gear oil - replace timing belt/components - check/replace spark plugs/vacuum hoses - flush cooling system - new shocks - check suspension - regrease front wheel bearings - and just look/see for anything needing attention. Got 482,000 miles with 1996 Rodeo 6 cyl - valve guide seals started leaking - engine smokes a little at start up but still runs fine - has 60 psi oil pressure. Plan to pull heads for repair. Just simple maintenance saves a lot of $$ - doing your own repairs even more. New car payments (and costly insurance) just flat out suck! I like having money in the bank. 😊
@JamesKeru2 жыл бұрын
#1 is horrible advice. Heavier than recommended oil especially in a multi-valve or turbo engine is a no-no because you need the oil to penetrate through all those tiny spaces with ease. Also, the argument about Australia getting ‘too hot’ is BS. Ambient temperatures are always lower than engine operating temperatures…oils are designed to withstand engine temperature which is more than 100 degrees celcius unless Australia gets hotter than that, your ‘advice’ is bad. You should be thanking God for Toyota making an excellent engine that withstood your poor maintenance. LOL.

I like how you not only listed diagnostic information about each component, but also ways to keep each component working optimally, but I'm wondering how often you might need to make adjustments and/or replace each component due to just normal wear and tear. I know each car is probably different, and each component is also maybe different, but maybe like a basic guideline would be good... like the air filter usually should be changed with every other oil change, or maybe if you live in a particularly dusty part of the country more often than that... or Catalytic Converters usually last for ~150 thousand miles... (I dunno if thats true or not)...

Man the more i watch your videos the more I love my car for being a brilliant piece of engineering. I have a Mitsubishi Galant hatchback E33 92' has over 125,000miles on the odo, and since I did not ever need any sort of repairs apart from the 6 month oil change. Heck I didn't even need to change my spark plugs in over 2 years as they are in pristine condition (white) as the engine makes perfect combustion. No engine knocks and no oil burning (well maybe a just little bit as after 5000miles the oil gauge goes from high to low - i use mineral oil). I bought it 6 years ago for 1,000 Euro (yes I paid extra because it was in very good condition and was serviced at our garage so it was a customer's car). In 6 years my repair list was as following: 3 x Air filters, 1 set of spark plugs just because (they were in perfect condition), 4 new tyres, 1 antenna rod, 1 battery, 6 x fuel filters, 6 x oil filters, 1 water spray tank (took it from my other Galant an E32), 1 section of exhaust pipe, 1 AC gas conversion intake nozzle (new AC gas regulation needed it). In 6 years I spent next to nothing for its maintenance and its as comfortable as ever and spacious, not the most powerful car out there but it is adequate for daily commute. Range is about 230 miles/ 50litres city driving, 350miles/50litres mixed and once pushed it to almost 480 miles highway only, which is pretty solid for a 1992' car. The only problem the car has is some rattling on the driver's door striker on heavy left continuous cornering (right hand steering wheel). All electrics work perfectly, even the original radio cassette (apart from the up-seek button that got stuck). The only problem with the car is my wife, she hates it, because it looks old design

The segment about Fuel Pumps is "partly" inaccurate. (For fuel-injected systems.) - It's not so much a reduction of "volume" of fuel flow. What is important is that a "weak" pump might-be pushing the volume, BUT... the greater question is: Is it creating the "PRESSURE" (PSI) needed on the injection-system? That PSI is important to push the correct volume of fuel through the injectors,... and it also affects the "atomization" of the fuel spray.

Having a vehicle with the vintage AMC 242ci I6 engine, it very basic to remove the cylinder head and clean things up and reinstall the cylinder head. Every five years, on the anniversary of the purchase of my vehicle, I remove the single cylinder head, clean things up, check things out, replace valve springs, clean the top of cylinders, tighten loose rockers, check push rods, and put a new head gasket in. If needed, I also change the exhaust manifold gasket, timing cover gasket, and valve cover gasket also. Using this simple and primative method, my vehicle recently turned 401,000,000 miles and still running very strong. I bought my vehicle new in 1996. I have had it 23 years. I have two years, one month, twenty days left until my next disassembly and deep cleaning. I am sure I can get another 35 years of service out of my vintage beauty.

A good way to keep your catalytic converters from clogging is to get an aftermarket exhaust without them. I did it and it's amazing

So do engine's ECU have the ability to detect and compensate for knock? That'd be a good video: discussing everything the ECU does
@Duskconqueror6 жыл бұрын
Even if the ECU supports knock detection, you still need a knocksensor to make it work.
@Duskconqueror6 жыл бұрын
Ehm nope. Knock is a term for unwanted ignition of the air-fuel mixture before the piston hits top dead center. This happens if the temperatures in the cylinders are so high that the mixture ignites itself OR if the sparkplugs misfire.

Rod knock? Where the rods smash against the block?
@Duskconqueror6 жыл бұрын
Never heard of calling that knock before. In Europe that's called engine failure ;P. Btw you guys have your octane rated according to the AKI system right? That is short for Anti Knock Index, so I didn't assume it was a localization thing.

Spark plugs are a big one. When my parents bought a new car and gave me the old one, it consumed lots of fuel and it struggled expecially at the low RPM range. I decided to take a spark plug out and look what's the matter, I found that they were so burned out that the gap was almost twice as wide as it should be. Bought and installed new spark plugs, fells like a brand new car. I had someone tell me that you have to change the sparkplugs every 30k kilometers. That, I think, should also prevent additional tar collecting.

A mechanic that would build engines for Dale Ernheart said in a forum about Marvel Mystery Oil . ALWAYS use 4 oz's per 10 gallons with a new motor ....it creates a dry lubricant on the walls. I have used the product for 6 years as my uncle was a mechanic that used it growing up and in the arctic instead of a blow torch. He added it to the crank and gas tank fuel and -20-40 was no longer a problem. Raises compression in tests about 10 to 15 %.

another common cause for ignition timing issues, as well as valve timing issues in older engines, (both of which cause power loss) is a worn or stretched timing chain.

If you haven't yet, please do a vid on the differences between motorcycle and car engines! Oh, and the crankless Rajan engine would be pretty interesting too! Not sure if you've heard of it as it's not a popular design and its inception was around the early 20th century. It seems pretty efficient though.

Automotive performance boils down to one word... MAINTENANCE. Every part and component has a service life and is prone to wearing out. Neglect the preventive maintenance, the check engine light, and the loss of performance your vehicle won't work for long.

High milage oil is usually specified for engines with 75,000 miles or more, so I would guess these problems could start to show up at this point. I think it depends a lot on the engine and how it's maintained, though.
@AdamConstantine6 жыл бұрын
Best things you can do is run top tier fuel (toptiergas.com) and use Mobil 1 high mileage oil. The oil has special conditioners to keep seals from leaking. Change filters and all your fluids frequently. I do all mine every year. Coolant, brake fluid flush, transmission fluid, power steering fluid flush, and I always do my oil changes every 4000 with full synthetic oil. You can use seafoam in your engines oil about 500 miles before you change your oil and that will keep all the carbon from building up.
