6:30 It's called diesel runaway and it happens when seals in turbo give up and it lets oil into intake. It starts running at very high rpm because diesel engines burn oil very well. You can't shut the car down and it will run until it runs out of oil and engine locks up. You have three options basically either stall it if you have an manual, cover the intake so no air gets into intake which is dangerous or wait until engine locks up.

His explanations motivate me to just take it apart and see what happens without worrying. I've always struggled with teachers overcomplicating things eventhough the terms they used were "correct". My photography teacher had this whole story about camera aperture. And at the end I said okay, so it's basically just a hole that opens and closes. And if you make the hole bigger, obviously more light comes in and you get a brighter photo. It's not rocket science please.

She knows a lot, but her statement that turbos dont rob power to make power is completely false. They dont really borrow from gross power output like a supercharger, but the back pressure created by a turbo simply robs the power before it even makes it to the crank. Dont believe me, stick a turbo in the exhaust flow of an N/A engine and see how it reduces power output. And then on top of that, the boost created on the compressor side also slows the impeller and in turn creates even MORE back pressure.

@uberschnilthegreat22 10 ай бұрын

Either choking the intake or cutting off the fuel flow will work, but there are caveats for both: -Choking the intake may not work as if there's a loose fit or crack on any piping, it'll just suck in air through those gaps and continue to rev like mad. If you have direct access to the front of the compressor, then you can just put something solid like a block of wood in front of it and hold it down until it chokes. -Cutting off the fuel supply may not work as if the turbo has an especially bad oil leak, then it will just siphon off of the engine's oil supply until it detonates from a lack of lubrication. If the vehicle has a manual transmission, then you could instead try to stall the engine.

6:22 that´s called a runaway diesel. Diesel cars dont need spark to ignite the fuel and if fuel (or oil) gets uncontrollably into the cylinder(ECU error or Diesel Pump error or Oil Pump error), it can ignite by itself. If this happens, the car will rev uncontrollably, until the engine blows itself up or you block the intake. Thankfully this happens very rarely. (this would be a great Donut video. You can make a diesel engine run away and explain how that happend)

6:21 is a runaway diesel, says it in the title, although they call it a runaway turbo. Turbos are an incredibly overlooked service item. They don't get replaced or rebuilt nearly as often as they should, if ever. When the sealing rings on the turbine shaft wear out and they leak oil the engine burns it like fuel. That makes it rev, making the turbo spin faster, making it ingest more oil, making it basically feed itself in a cycle ultimately leading to self- destruction. Turn the ignition off if you want, it wont help. You have to stall the engine out or suffocate the turbo by blocking off the intake. If the o-ring on the back of the compressor housing is bad enough there is the potential you wont be able to completely suffocate it.

I always take issue with the generalization that Turbochargers get free energy from the exhaust. Much of the energy is "free", in that it comes from the exhaust venting out of the exhaust port, however, the backpressure from the turbine causes increased pumping loses. The piston has to move upward on the exhaust stroke to evacuate the cylinder, and the turbocharger increases the restriction. So, the crankshaft does supply some of the energy to run the turbocharger. Conversely, forced induction reduces the pumping lose on the intake stroke, though they increase the loses on the compression stroke.

In the "no shaft play" segment, the zero side-to-side shaft play applies to ball bearing turbos. Journal bearing turbos, by design, need a little bit of play for there to be a passage for oil. With journal bearings, you should be checking for any in/out play or enough side-to-side play that makes the blades hit the housing.

I was thinking the same. There's a few things that, while they're not wrong, they're not completely right either. Tbf I dont expect them to give every possible explanation for every situation but there has been a couple of times where I've thought 'well hang on thats not entirely true, isit...'

Love this series because you dont only learn stuff, but also have fun while doing it and the people in it (original crew + the "real" mechanics) are awesome!

I'd listen to Angelina any day. I think that she knows more than a couple of those guys. She sure could explain things better and knew exactly what part failed.

For the question at 6:00 that was a 6.0 powerstroke diesel, the engine was notorious for blowing head gaskets especially when power is turned up and one common way to try and mitigate this was to replace the bolts with studs since the engine was based on a navistar engine that had less head bolts per cylinder than their previous powerstroke engine since the model it was based on made less power

Just a thought, maybe have an episode where the mechanics just tell crazy, funny, scary stories there experienced in their careers. I think Sandro said he saw a dude die one time. Maybe not that one but the dudes seen some sht. And that older dude too I bet he's got some good stuff.

The dead guy story must be put on the table, maybe can enlighten some crazy dudes to not do the same, learn from the mistakes of others.

7:05 this is called runaway or dieseling which is caused by an alternate fuel source reaching the combustion chamber causing the engine to run at redline and even higher than that till it eventually blows up. Can be stopped if you’re fast enough to open the hood and choke off the air supply
