      LMAO they can't keep doing the same four things every time. After the last few episodes I was thinking like what are they going to do next because realistically there's a pretty short list of things that keep an engine from starting and they already ran through almost all of them. So yeah just taking the engine out was the next logical step lol.
      Although it really is basically impossible to put an engine in a car singlehandedly in two hours. So maybe they need to rethink this one too lol.
