      Hey Scotty! I freaking LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I’m looking to buy a car as a daily driver, 5 or 6 speed manual tranny, 4 door sedan, extremely reliable, and yanno it’s gotta look somewhat decent 😂 I’ve got $5,000 and I’m thinking something between 1995 and 2015, what makes and models would you recommend? I don’t know much about cars so I’m hoping you could point me in the right direction

    A lot of cars still use those low profile tires. In fact,
    the trend toward big 18 - 20" wheels on small cars has
    \been the reason for the low profile tires so that they
    will fid inside the wheel well with out interacting with anything
    while turning or going over bumps. I agree. They make the ride
    real rough. My Infiniti Q60S came with 19" wheels and those real
    low profile tires. They are expensive and they ride like you
    are using solid rubber tires. They do offer up superior cornering,
    but for normal driving, they give one a real rough ride where you
    feel every crack in the road.

      SUPREME MEGATRON F1 engines weren’t meant in road cars because of tighter tolerances than an average engine like a Honda K series or a General Motors LS. The BMW S85 V10 and the S65 V8 is a perfect example why F1 engines should never be in road cars. The BMW S85 and S65 is known for rod bearing issues that must be done at a certain time or else goodbye engine.

    This issue is caused by two issues - consumerism and the differences between "theory" and reality. Consumerism because if you can save £10 on parts building a car you can reduce the price to the customer by about £100. The other issue is that PTFE seals if you take the simplified PTFE models should out-perform rubber in every respect. What the newer engineers forget is that the model taught at university is the simplified model. The reason this is done is they usually have a single lecture to cover seals where you would need a whole module (20+ lectures) to cover just some of the differences between the simplified model and the real world model. I spent a good deal of my professional life correcting other engineers designs when they did not work for this specific reason.

    Scotty I must comment on you saying a Teflon is junk. The Teflon seal is actually much better than that old rubber lip seal. I will admit that GM probably screwed up the installation of it. I worked for caterpillar tractor company for 35 years and I put those Teflon seals in production Diesel engines over 30 years ago. There was some problems with the wear at first because you cannot run a Teflon seal on a ground crank without a very finely ground hardened wear ring to run it on. I’m sure gm didn’t use the wear ring. These seal were definitely not cheaper for us but they had to last the life of the engine which was a million miles on a truck and basically forever on a off highway vehicle. This is one of the very few times I don’t agree with your thoughts. Otherwise this channel is excellent. Regards Emil

    In 2019 I bought a new 370Z with the 3.7 liter V-6 engine. One of my reasons that I went with that car is that I was hearing rumors that Nissan was probably going to go with a smaller displacement 3 liter turbocharged V-6 in either 2020 or 2021. Because of the relatively large displacement for a lightweight sports car, the manifold pressure will never be high enough that excessive heat or mechanical stress will be placed on the engine. This means that the engine will probably last a very long time if I take care of it properly.

    I don’t know Scotty, PTFE is the best plastic for antifriction applications and it’s also very resistant to temperature and it isn’t as cheap as you’d think. It’s very expensive compared to even nylon, which isn’t on the cheap side. It’s also much more inert than rubber, which means you don’t have to worry about it degrading unless you’re using some fluoride in your oil, which would make everything else fail first anyway.
    My guess is that they haven’t perfected that seal design yet, that’s why it seems worse now.

    Hello Scotty from Maryland. Much love and appreciation for the vidoes. I daily a 2000 e55 amg. Some new parts include front lower control arms, engine mounts, water pump, transmission mounts, shifter bushings and washer fluid pump. Also had the front wheel bearings refurbished, transmission flushed/fluid changed and an oil filter/oil change. The car has 172,000 miles right now, with a (fingers crossed) minor amount of rust. (1) The 722.6 transmission seems to be a bit clunky or something. For starters, when I put it in gear, esp and always in reverse the car will make a big creek/screeech noise. The car sat for a while before I bought it and when I bought it failed MD inspection for the left lower control arm as previously mentioned. (2) Also, when I first begin to drive from start, I will notice a kick from the transmission. A split second after I let off the throttle, going maybe 5-10 miles an hour leaving my condominium, to come to a stop, the car will make a bing/knock noise, definitely from the rear, as it changes gear. Any thought? Take care and all.

      Scotty is correct, the finish is actual chrome. Metal is bonded to the plastic. Applying a coating makes the part conducive, which makes it possible to apply the chrome plating later on. Will it last as long? It look nice for a while and may not scratch as easy.

      And you can blame the EPA and CAFE for that too (it saves weight). And it also depends...some “chrome” is actually polished aluminum.

    I just changed transmission fluid and filter on a car a lady at work bought. NAPA listed Dexton 6 for it. I hear stories of transmissions dieing after the fluid is changed. This one needed fluid and filter done. It was howling and barely drove. I hope we got it in time.

    I have a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. Chrysler/Dodge products are notorious for bad transmissions. I have serviced the transmission every 60k miles. With 164,000 on it, it still drives like a dream and shifts perfectly. So yes. I agree with Scotty, if you want a transmission to last, even a notorious bad one, change that fluid!

    Scotty, "take if for what's it worth"... PTFE rear main seals are an improvement. I have one in my 2001 VW and never a drop of oil from this 1.9 TDI engine. Replaced the clutch at 165K, did not see any seepage and left the seal in. 75K miles later still going strong.
    Had a 1999 Ford Taurus and put a transmission in it. Typical Vulcan issues, leaking freeze plugs and rear main. Yes, the coolant leaking from the rear of the engine is probably a leaking freeze plug.
    Installing a rear main PTFE seal is a little more involved. Gotta have ever thing clean. The plastic guide is nearly useless... Got it install and 20K miles later still going strong.
    Compared to any other car I've owned, PTFE rear main seals, when installed correctly work well.
    Every other US/foreign car I've owned the last 50 years with rubber seals leak. Every one of them.
