    The best part about this:
    Paul NEVER asks Landon what ACTUALLY happened. Just drops enough hints that he knows something isn't adding up. Grandma Lolly telling on Paul also adds in that "ya know, it's OK to mess up, but you're going to hear about it for YEARS now" factor.
    Kids never quite understand that when their parents were their age, they were doing the exact same thing and telling the exact same, er, truthful tales to THEIR parents. Someday, the kids will catch on... say about the time they have kids of their own.

    Now in Landon's defense "idling" is open to interpretation. 😉 You learn from your mistakes, hopefully he learned a few lessons here. The most important is how blessed he is to have a dad and an uncle who can both fix those mistakes and teach him about vehicles in the process. Only those who have to pay $$$ to have repairs done know what a blessing this. You're raising good kids, they just didn't fall far from the tree (Paul). It took my brother a few years to realize how expensive his right foot was- rapairs, accidents, tickets and insurance. Everything's gonna be alright. Take care, stay safe and GOD bless

    • @haroldphipps3457

      You know this is true.
      In the Diesel engine world there is "high idle".
      That is the top RPM the governor is set at,,, so ,,,, technically, hitting valve float, is idle.
      Kinda.
      Maybe.

    Landon seems to have no luck with engines in this truck! Hopefully he is still learning. Hunter may have the giggles over the events of how to kill a engine but from previous videos it's obvious that he is still learning also. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next episode of Landon's truck rebuild 2.0 or is it 3.0?
    Stay safe healthy and happy 👍

    Teen Age Boys, refreshing to see they haven't changed. I guess it is a rite of passage for us gearhead types. I can say this, I am really glad there wasn't any you tube or social media back in the mid 70's when I was in this place. It was bad enough with the "grapevine" that always seemed to leak the facts back to Dad when I broke or blew something up.
    I remember one afternoon when I was a senior in HS I was complaining about working full time and going to school and still being broke. Dad looked at me, walked me out to the scrap pile and pointed to a couple of grenaded blocks, a broken cast crank and a stripped ring and pinion set and said, " well, maybe if you stop adding to this pile you'll have some money"
    He was right.
    He usually was.

    Been interesting watching you parent those young studdlies. I raised 2 boys on my own most of their lives and had rules about cars, you can't borrow what you can't replace, THEY can have any car they can afford, THEY pay their own insurance, THEY repair their own cars, I'll be glad to help, and poor planning on THEIR part doesn't mean an emergency on my part.. Glad to see they carried that thinking forward with their own. Everyone gets way more sleep.

I have a 2004 F-150 with a 5.4 Triton.. mechanic replaced the passenger side exhaust manifold and gasket... on the lift idling to check for leaks... engine goes bang, bang, BANG!! Stopped dead! put two 3/8" holes in the oil pan... never got to see the inside so not sure but I suspected the roller followers failed, and dropped a valve??? Cost me $6,700 to get a new rebuilt engine installed. Landon is SO LUCKY he has you and your knowledge and shop!!!!

    Mr Paul, you are quite the Dad. If my son had done that did something that I had to fix I would not have been a happy camper. Back in 1994-95 I bought a 1968 Ford LTD from the salvage auction it was not hurt bad at all. The reason I bought it because my first car back in 1975 with a 68 Ford LTD so my son got the one I bought 94/95 and that was his first car basically. The cool thing is he still has it today it's a four-door hardtop Factory duals original 390 with a four barrel and an automatic. It it runs like new. He has had has been in several car accidents in this car but it's been fixed every time. it still looks good. I can't be more proud of him? When he came into my life he was 8 years old he's 42 now and he still refers to me as his dad though he doesn't call me dad, I think that's pretty cool. He married well and has given us two Grandsons. He never got involved in drugs for which i am greatful! Best regards Bob from Virginia USA

    My dad didn't own any wrenches, tools. He didn't know a thing about mechanics, but he drove like a wild man every day. When something blew up he'd go to a shop for repair, but he would also think about getting a new car/truck.If my rig had a problem he couldn't care less. Paul helps his son even when his son tells a little fib.

All my stupid breaks were on the wall lol. One of them was chains, I broke one motor mount so I just chained it down on that side when it broke the other side I chained it down on that side. They're still hanging on the wall in the shop there's many more I can't think of any off hand LOL that's what dads are for 👍

    My transportation was a motorcycle thru high school, which was all I could afford at the time. So my car engine training came from helping my friends work on their vehicles to keep them running. It was a good learning experience making sure their rides (and sometimes mine too) stayed on the road.

    Hey Paul, we both know it takes special skill and finesse to do that to an engine when it's just idling. I couldn't be any prouder of Landon if he was my own. He done real good. Reminds me of what I did to the 389 in the 66 GTO the day my son Nathaniel was born. Or the 2.8 l in the little z24 cavalier when I was out chasing mustangs.

    Ben, "You're not supposed to rebuild it thru the top side". Reminds me of the story about a Gynecologist who got bored and changed careers. He went to school to become a mechanic. He learned quickly and when it came time for his final, he aced it. The instructors called him into the office and praised him for the top score ever. Then they asked, why did you do it thru the tailpipe?

  • @charleswideman9353
    @charleswideman9353 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was passing a car and inadvertently downshifted from 3rd to 2nd, instead of 4th and dropped a valve in a Jeep. That valve put 2 windows into the soul of that motor. It was amazing how much carnage there was in that block. It seemed like I took forever for that engine to spool down. Our best guess was a quick trip to 7,200 RPM did not sit well with the number 2 exhaust valve.

    • @michaelboyle1983
      @michaelboyle1983 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have a Wrangler with a 2.5 in it and when I bought it the guy said it has a knock at about 3000 RPM but it will stay together forever if you keep it below 3000. It was a play toy for me and I had plans of putting a 6 liter in it so I didn't care.
      I was wheeling one day and revved it way over 3 grand and it started knocking real bad. When I got home I decided to drive it over to a friend's garage to look it over and going down a big hill it quit running so I tried starting it with the starter and it wouldn't turn over. Knowing the engine was junk and not caring, at about 40 mph I let the clutch out and it locked the tires up for a second then freed up but didn't start. After letting the clutch out again it started running very rough and knocking bad with a lot of lights flashing on the dash. It was barely running and smoking really bad, I couldn't see the vehicle lights behind me at times due to the smoke, but I made it another 3ish miles to his house after it quit many times. It was a good thing most of the way was down hill or I would've needed a tow.
      When I got to his garage we looked through the fender well and there was a hole in the block the size of my fist and the wrist pin and half of the connecting rod was sitting on the frame. The goo, a mix of oil and anti freeze I assume, that was running out from under that Jeep was nasty. I was surprised it ran as good as it did, for short amounts of time, after the hole was knocked in the block and it freed itself of the part of the connecting rod that was hitting. That was the last ride for that Jeep and I replaced it with an 86 short bed Chevrolet.
      I hope you liked my story and God bless you!

    With Paul and Ben's knowledge on mechanics combined with being a father, they were able to do an autopsy and forensic research on that engine. And they painted a pretty accurate picture of the events that happened to that engine from minute clues. Landon was grinning as their theory of events matched what he probably already knew. Hard to get stuff past dads, they've been there and done that. But it was a combination of things, like Ben said.
