This got me thinking: I guess the bigger wheels have to go in the front of the car, so that at higher speed it creates lift from the air going under. That way, the car doesn’t push heavy on the road, hence lower friction and higher gas mileage. Now share the road with me instead!

Hey Scotty! Fellow Rhode Islander here! You nailed it with the water pump. I had the same problem on a Focus with the same engine at around 150K miles. The water pump had plastic fins, and some had broken, so it was doing less work than it should have. I got another two years and 30K miles so far (it's still going!) for the cost of about two months of a new car payment. May as well replace the thermostat at the same time, mine was stuck open shortly after this repair (symptom was that the heater was blowing lukewarm and engine temp was always low. Don't trust the dash readout of the thermostat on these, use an OBD2), I suspect one of the broken water cooler fins found its way into the thermostat when the pump was replaced.

@cedhuxter4800 2 жыл бұрын

Had a similar problem to this, hot engine, water pump struggling to keep coolant flowing etc. So, when I replaced the water pump, instead of leaving the thermostat out altogether, I made a slight buckle in the thermostat disc so the coolant could always flow more easily, whether the thermostat had reached operating temperature or not. Keep these videos coming Scotty, you’re a LEGEND.

It has everything you need, and not over tech'd. However I do wish it had a heated steering wheel, TPMS, and OTTS (one touch turn signals), all which are in my 2013. The 2013 is also much more sporty (motor and design), and feels far quicker and nimble, none of which are bad things. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the 2010 is on the Camry frame, and the 2013 on the Avalon frame (more space). That all being said, I dive the 2010, and do like its more conservative look and feel, but hey, I'm old (lol), and my daughter drives the 2013, which suits her (envied) youth.

Scotty, you should have warned your viewers of all the possible side effects of using head gasket sealers. Side effects that these sealers can clog radiators, heater cores and other small coolant passages. Including the thermostat. Especially if used improperly. It is not a permanent fix! Only a temporary bandage. Also, removing the thermostat will cause 2 issues. #1. Little to no heat when driving at highway speeds. #2. Will turn on the check engine light for improper coolant temps on modern cars and trucks.

That's great if you can do it. But average 32000 miles a year just going to work.! I'm not a ASE mechanic but I'm capable of turning a wrench.! So I'll do what I can to make make vehicles last. Just can't justify paying $5000/ every year or two and having to start over , when most new vehicles never have a problem after 7 years or better. Hell you don't even have to change spark plugs in 100,000 miles. Most front brake pads last 90k or better.. so what major expenses do you have. Any make has problems. No one is perfect. I don't care what Scotty says.

Mark, I couldn't disagree more, my parents used to pay cash, in 95,I convinced them to try a lease, 23 months later $7000 dollars of front end damage, your dream of owning can be taken away.

I’ll never believe leasing is the right way for most people to go. I’ve kept my Nissan Maxima from 1989-2004, and my Altima from 2004-present. The Altima has been paid off for 14 years. Minimal repairs. Still lots of life left in it.

These types of products get a bad reputation from people with unrealistic expectations. They definitely have their place if the alternative makes the vehicle uneconomical to repair. I have used a lucas power steering stop leak on my car to get it through 2 years of inspections here in the UK. The alternative would have been to scrap it as the replacement rack isn't worth it even though I do all my work to my cars myself (when taking into consideration the other issues including rotten rear arches, flywheel knocking, the low value of my car in the UK and lower second hand prices compared to the USA). Here some people will scrap a car just because it needs a clutch even though the body is in decent condition just because of the low values of older cars here (although the pandemic increased demand for used cars so prices have been going up).

Probably one of the smartest guys on cars that I've seen in a long time. Bought a 1991 Honda civic for 200 bucks has 275k on it. Runs like a charm fuel pump went out 100 miles later but at almost 300k can complain. Gonna see if I can get it to a Million.

that engine is either a duratec or a duratorq and 2.0. a classic on the third world market. Those engines can be repaired with various degrees of success, depending on the machine shop, this is the "easy category". There are some Fords 1.0/1.6 with hydraulic lifters, and to only adjust the valves you have to take apart the head

Scotty Actually if I remember when you and I were young hot rods usually had the front end raised up and the back end lowered. It was a few years later when the fad changed 18o degrees and the rear ends were raised. As pre teenagers we would stand on the street corners in Buffalo and argue the various merits of each “theory”. It was a great time back in those days when we thought we knew everything.
