repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Jesus christ is the way the truth and the Life,NO religion will save you, Only Jesus Christ saves,do you know Jesus Christ? do you have The Holy spirit? are you Born again? Repent and believe the Gospel, be baptized into new life in Jesus Christ, be also baptized in the Holy Spirit for the kingdom of God is at hand.

I have steel chain tensioners in my car. Then a few years later they changed to nylon.

@tycobandit 4 жыл бұрын

Modern chain guides are made of or use a Nylon 6,6 surface. They use it to minimize chain wear because steel is porous an would require more lubrication which would increase engine design complexity, manufacturing costs, and service intervals.It’s actually an incredibly rugged polymer with a really high density and melting point (about 500F). It can also be finished with a flawless slippery surface rather cheaply, which is another benefit you can’t get with steel guides.

I know some vehicles have time intervals for timing chains for some reason, and some vehicles have problems with timing chains.

His point was that you should either buy these lightly used for a good price or for dirt cheap as a fun throwaway car. Don't buy a $10,000 with 80k miles because you're basically getting the worst of both worlds.

Scotty's right on those old Minis. I was in England in '71 and they were all over the place. I got to ride in a few. They cornered great but they had a very crude feel to them. And they rattled a lot. And the interiors were Lada-class noisy. I remember the rims being tiny. The engines weren't that great in terms of longevity, but you could almost rebuild them in your own garage, that's how simple they were. Many times it was just the valves and/or valve seals -- easy peasy.

If you’re ok with doing the work yourself, not a bad car. It’s not engineered like a domestic, which is great. They do have their quirks as Scotty mentioned, and do require a bit of preventive maintenance to keep running well. I picked up an 03 for $500, replaced that damn electric power steering pump, and have really enjoyed it since. I see it as more of a hobby I guess. Parts are comparably priced for the base model but do get pricey for the S and Work.

In 2006 I bought a 2001 Toyota Rav4, good car I think. Now I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue for 5 years and it seems fine. My knowledge of the entire subject is very minimal tho. Your videos are a very big help to me on an ongoing basis and I wish to express gratitude. Thank you from Canada Mr. Kilmer!

Scotty, I just did something I've never done. I plugged the sidewall of my tire after pulling a long sheet metal screw out of it. I have road hazard insurance on all 4 tires , but of course no reputable tire shop will repair a sidewall because it's not recommended. They wanted to sell me a prorated tire, which with mounting & balancing, costs just as much as a brand new one. Just curious if you have ever plugged a sidewall. I've been riding on it for 3 weeks so far. No issues. Thoughts on this? Always respect your opinions. Great videos!

@@657449 The early ones in the 60s were probably no different from any other car standards of the 60s. In the 1970s England had endless problems with car worker unions and these are generally thought of as the worst built models. Mr Bean's one I think was from the 1980s which was a lot better built. However they were so simple to maintain that a teenage girl with manicured nails could probably have the engine/trans out in an afternoon...you could get all the parts cheap including the shell. The automatic version also ran on the engine oil which meant it got fresh oil at every service. The designer (an eccentric) would not install a radio as "it distracts people from driving properly" LOL
