2 videos in an hour, you guys work way harder than those chumps at donut.

Little know fact here, in order to complete a true, 100% percent oil change, you can't just drain the oil and replace it. That leaves all the old oil on the interior parts.... to make sure all used oil is gone, it's common practice to leave the pan off and bang the rev limiter for at least 3 minutes to burn off the used oil. Pro shops dont want you to know this performance technique.

Sandro is the most mechanic looking mechanic EVER

Sandro is always saying “that’s dope” and I love it😂 like, “shit you blew the head gasket?” - THATS DOPE. “Damn, that guy crashed his car” - THATS DOPE. Thank you Sandro ❤😂

Jeremiah and Sandro are the best duo without them even knowing it.

Sandro and Jeremiah are a great duo...keep bringing him back. Hes got a chill laid back sense of humor

The run away diesel was a constant risk when I worked in the oil patch. All trucks and equipment were required to have positive air shut-off systems incase of a gas leak. Crazy stuff.

I love the chill mechanic who's just like "let it evaporate bro".

"the internet thought we were bad at working on subarus" hilarious

In case anyone was wondering that semi that lost its engine during the pull was probably pushing close to 130-140 psi on triple turbos. The pullers go hard

For those that don't know, the truck that launched it's engine out wasn't broken motor mounts. Pullers like that have strengthened everything in the engine to the point the block itself is now the weakest point. That truck blew the top half of the block, head and all, right out of the truck. You can see in a different picture of the truck after that the crank and pistons were in it and the cylinders were in the part that launched out.

Sandro never fails to make me laugh. Seems like such a chill dude

This is going to be my favorite channel, don't tell those guys at donut media 👀

Runaway diesels usually are a matter of an internal oil leak, the diesel will start to burn the oil as fuel even after you cut the fuel injectors off.

thanks for explaining what happened to my childhood school bus that one time. She was an old girl that broke down a lot, we had to cross on a ferry to get to school and one day when the driver was warming her up, he stood outside to talk to a parent and the bus started just revving and it got pretty high pitched. Never saw that driver run before or since. now i know why

Just imagine a shirt for Sandro saying I see you did it for the boys. With a blown engine while he's next to the shot out connecting rod. 😂

Sandro is one of my favorite guests.

Getting the water out of the engine at 15:00 was so cool to see the firing order or the engine.

It's hilarious that whenever you see those flood videos, the water is shallow enough that maybe you could get through if you go slow, but people attack it so fast that it creates a massive wave over the front of the car that floods the engine.

if anyone is old enough to remember when ABC used to do the wide world of sports back in the day, you use to see some of the old top fuel dragsters blow the top end off their motors at times. was always spectacular to watch!

Runaway diesels are no joke, i have a big diesel engine from the 60s for industrial equipment that does it sometimes and its one of the scariest things i have dealt with. Great upload

I'm so happy y'all made this video format into its own channel.

I was a passenger in almost the same situation as the flood video, so i can say with experience that the driver was trying to get to his local "Game Crazy" to buy NHL 2012. We all told him it was a bad idea, but he was dangerously Canadian.

I think the more common cause for run away diesel is a busted oil seal in the turbo leaking into the intake side. There are industrial scenarios where diesel engines have to be outfitted with emergency shut off valves due to excessive flammable gasses in the air that may occur at a fuel refinery or gas processing plant. You can still find some older diesels in use that have manual shut off valves in case of a run away event.

So happy to be subscribed to such a small, humble channel.

7:44 The most accurate thing said this video.

I'm amazed how long they were able to rev that car with out an oil pan.

Netflix: are you still watching? Someone’s daughter: 6:52

Can we get a broken piston rod shirt with “What’s cracking?” on it? 😂 3:00

Most runaway deseils happen when you have an oil leak somewhere. Usually in the turbo and it uses the oil as fuel and will not stop

When I was in auto/diesel school, we had a diesel engine runaway during class on an engine stand. The instructor told everyone to back away, and jumped in with a clipboard to suffocate it. It worked, and it was scary to see and hear that thing going faster and faster by itself. Was kinda cool to be there, since everything ended alright

Just found your page...as a retired mechanic I LOVE IT ❤️

👀

So glad you guys found a way to bring us more fun with these mechanics. I love you old bald dude and I promise I'll learn your name

Love the new channel guys! And thanks for the runaway diesel info. Been a tech for 6 years and never heard of that before.

12:16 I've seen that on a friends car a few years ago. Difference was, that he didnt add water, but used his car on everyday basis for a ~1 mile trip to work, so the engine never got to temperature. Result: condensed water accumulated in the oil pan, finally froze during winter and the engines last words were "wroo...blubb".

Makes me happy to see a clip from the UK in this video at 13.10. Rufford Ford, for anyone who doesn't already know. It's actually closed now because the locals complained as so many people would just hack it through and end up blocking the road when their car bit the dust

14:49 WD-40 is barely a lubricant. It’s made for Water Displacement but it’s a much better thinner than it is a lubricant. It may help a heavier grease move better in a hinge or a bearing, but I would NEVER put it directly in the engine. Sandro was right just use oil, a tiny bit of trans fluid wouldn’t be bad.

Sandro needs a full time spot at donut!

the fact you got that ford crossing video in there is hilarious, i drive past this place most days for work. interesting backstory is this place got really popular for people smashing through it and for people videoing it so things kept getting more and more insane until eventually the police closed the road, i think its been closed for a good six months so far.

EJECTO SEATO CUZ! 2:33 can we get this on a shirt please!

8:32 those 2-stroke Detroit Diesel engines are know for running away

I wish i knew a mechanic like one of you guys. Super intelligent & experienced mechanics on this channel👍

13:27 Reminds me of a time after a hurricane. My mom and I were debating on getting groceries while in town. The store's parking lot could only be accessed by two long driveways, the grocery store being behind another business, both driveways flooded. We waited for a while, debating on attempting the drive. Then we saw a Pepsi/Coke truck (I forget which) start to drive out. When it hit that water, it made a pretty good impression of a snowplow. Needless to say, we said, "Nope!" That was just too much water!

Bruh, this is awesome! I've loved Paul and Sandro every time they've been on Donut, I can't get enough! Can't wait to see more content from this project!

that's nice to have a different channel for this stuff, love it and please keep it going.

The runaway diesel thing sounds a lot like how crew served weapons can start cooking off rounds and then "run away"

Sandro and jerry together are classic gold

Ohh yeah, this 100% deserves it's own channel. Can't wait for the content you guys pump out here. You guys find some of the coolest mechanics out there.

I don’t know why I’m here but I’m happy, don’t tell 🍩 lol

watching these to educate myself. remembering the times I fumbled the knob and switched from 4th to 2nd gear. maybe... twice in 6 years? I love my Nissan Pixo. He's a good boy. Never has had any trouble, but I also have him checked regularly.

Man, those Donut guys are real silly goobers, can you imagine if they had a KZfaq channel where they were education but still had their personalities in full force, educating people anything and everything about cars? Man, what a wild and amazing channel that would be.

I love how the guy recording the subby kept stepping back LOL

14:30 That road is always flooded a little, and there's tons of videos of cars making it through. On that day it was just under high water. People DID mess up so often that the road was shut down earlier this year.

Couple of thing to unpack here: 1) You guys literally have the best job in the world! 2) How tf did that subie run full throttle with no oil pan for so long when your subie clapped out going around a corner with a sump full of oil (no baffles, blah blah blah, i know). Great vid. Keep it up.

@8:40 'when in doubt, choke it out'... That's what she said

9:18 the camshaft just said "Woah the outside world is pretty"

Angelina and Sandro total win. Love the new channel guys. These videos are FUN.

I love how Sandro is always so cool calm and collected like nothing startles this guy. Its always for the Boyz!!!

I feel like this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship

Real mechanic stuff is actually a cool idea 😮

At 7:57 that runaway was from the fuel rail (basically the throttle for a diesel) got jammed WOT. So its not like it was struggeling on some busted oil seal......It went WOT and stayed there 😂

Why am I just now finding this channel?? Rock on guys, y'all kick ass!!

Can we also appreciate the editing mixed in with Justin’s comedic timing? 😂😂

9:07 My emotions went like: Oh no! Not the rotary Rx7! *after realizing:* Oh, it's a swap. ugh They deserved it, but not the car that was swapped. You ruin the rotaty/pop up headlights - you get what you deserve.

7:02 they fail to mention most run-away diesel situations are usually caused by the turbo feeding the cylinders with atomized oil form a bad oil seal within the turbo and not typically a fuel leak.

I'm not really that much into car stuff, but this is really fun and interesting to watch!

You can prevent money shifting by beefing up your drivedrain mounts and shift bushings. A lot of times this happens because under load your shifter will be in a diferent place then when you lift off, so people miss the gate by accedent going from 4th to 5th,

You guys should do an episode on performance diesels. 200+ psi of boost running down a 1/8 mile hits different

Sandro's probably my favorite dude of them all.

I spent a few years on light tanks called M551 Sheridan's. Runaway engines were fairly common. The tank commander would have to jump out of the turret, open the rear engine deck, kick the intake hose off and stick a clipboard or book against the turbo inlet while you were driving across the desert to kill it. Always funny.

This makes me feel so much better about the time put a bit of water in my Powersteering Fluid thinking it was water.

This is the channel we all needed

LOL 🤣I like it when Sandro takes part in your videos. He's funny af.

Crazy to see Rufford Ford in one of your videos, that’s just up the road from me 🤯 big love!

16:35. Great point, Zac. If you're working on your vehicle disconnect the battery and use chock blocks and jack Stands. 😁👍

I can only imagine that any tuning setup that would allow you to rev your engine to 9000rpms would also allow you to place a rev limiter anywhere you please. RIP little D.

Just came across these vids there so good love it

Really digging the channel guys

10:17 As a Subaru owner...

The tractor pulls, those motors are pushing close to around 5000 ft lbs of torque, or just shy of it. It’s absolutely insane. I mean their boost i think is around 150 lbs or more

I learned the hard way that you shouldn't downshift to second gear on the exit at 70 mile/h. Just bent my valves luckily and fixed the engine myself for $600. Even has better compression now!

3:10 hard cut rev limiters sound great, but they are way harder on parts than soft cut. The rapid speed up and slow down causes unnecessary harmonics and vibrations that weaken the rotating assembly

You guys are definitely onto something here with the mechanics. Tweak it a bit to be more about their advice rather than entertainment(but keep the entertainment lol) and it'll be great.

The pulling truck that blew an engine was probably pushing over 2,000 hp. Insane power

Dig the idea of the new channel. It'd be cool to see you guys do something to Corridor Crew where you get mechanics/engineers or racing drivers/people to review iconic cars/races/parts/engineering whatever. People from the industry to come talk about their passion. Either way I'm looking forward to what you guys put out here!

4:25 Me takes it to mechanic: can you fix this? Mechanic: *throws entire truck in the trash*

subbed before 50 subs, commenting for proof ! !

Facebook marketplace engine runs well used lightly 10:52

1:58 To prevent that (ignoring skills) you could put in a old school "fishbone" plate, like in old supercars. It's a easy and cheap way to do it + that plate and "bare metal" stick, looks awesome!

F'n love Sandro. Reminds me of my buddy from when I worked HVAC

Let’s goo top 100 sub

Money shifting as a kid: “I’m going to slam the imaginary stick down in my cardboard box car, speed up, and win the race like the hero I am!” Money shifting as an adult: “…I’m never going to financially recover from this.”

That black Silverado with the runaway happened in Fergus Ontario up in Canada. It was nuts

The ironic thing about the septic truck is he probably could've vacuumed up most of it

lesser known fact - when in doubt, choke it out - this does NOT apply to your girlfriends.

There's a farmer in the UK who used to enter tractor pulling events with his tractor (obviously). He was curious to see what would happen if he mated a V8 and a straight 6, and it was epic.

This series is so good 😊

The second tractor pull one I think I saw they machine in person a year ago haha think was an absolute beast and even in the top row it was painfully loud 😂

1:26 that ad placement was killer...made me laugh!
