I think one of the reasons that you have so many subs is that you read all the comments, even the bad ones. I have also experienced on a personal level, writing to your company and asking a vehicle question… and you answered me. It’s one of my favorite channels and I hope you get 200,000 more subs!

I showed her a few youtube channels, and there were a couple she really liked. We'd watch, and she'd tell me stories of helping her Dad work on a tractor, or whatever. Or laugh about stuff. It was, in it's own way, a good time.

I was a state of Michigan certified master mechanic; I dropped out of that field some years ago and now I work on printing presses and associated equipment. Your videos tell me what a wise decision that was! I won’t lie and say my new occupation is a piece of cake; it isn’t, but I am glad we still have people like you out there, showing us the good, the bad and the ugly. That 3-cylinder Ford with the “wet” timing belts is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen! At least with most of the engines you’ve torn down here you can see good points to them and your “autopsies” on how and why the engines failed mean a lot. And one thing has become very obvious - you love your line of work! Regardless of what we wrench, MECHANICS FOREVER!!

Fluid power tech here. The increased width of the oil pump gears will increase displacement. That means more flow for a given input speed. This generally will result in higher pressures, depending on how the pressure is controlled in the circuit. If there is a simple relief doing the pressure control, it will not increase peak pressure significantly unless the valve is saturated, but it will increase operating pressure if the circuit spends most of its time below the relief setpoint. If you normally have 40 PSI, and your relief is set at 60, you might achieve 50 PSI instead. It also has the potential to increase oil temperature.

It's a shame the 1st engine had been messed with but as you said..torque converter bolts. A great video...I love how you put a comical spin on the carnage you find...classic and great to hear:-) Keep up the great work Eric...in the videos and helping keep cars and trucks on the road from the parts you sell.

My ex's 6.2 in her 2011 Yukon Denali had this exact same thing happen. Lost an intake valve seat. Luckily for us, it didn't fall completely out, just partially so the valve wouldn't fully close so we had a dead cylinder. It didn't do any other damage and it happened in our driveway in front of my shop luckily. So I slapped a junkyard rectangle port head on it and we road tripped it 350 miles the next day. I thought it was a freak failure. Interesting to hear that it's not completely uncommon.
