@FaceManPeck1 A drive shaft is just that, a shaft that drives. A drive train is the whole chain of components taking drive from A to B, and it might include drive shafts, gears, chains, CV or universal joints, clutches or even components driven by hydraulics. A shaft is just a shaft, a train is a linked series of components.
make more of these dissecting engines videos. it very informational and you are very good at explaining complicated stuff to people with no mechanical experience...GOOD JOB!
i didnt know that running an engine with unequal length headers was a bad thing.. why would aftermarket companies make them intentionally if the harmed the functionality of the engine? (yes i have uels on my car haha)
I LOL'ed when the Piston came out hahaha. Very good video! very well detailed and i work on my cars as well but never had time or problems to fix the motor till now. I have "rod knock" as you may call it and well we fix it temp but then after 3k miles it started to knock again. Im suspecting that i have a unbalanced Crankshaft and poor oil circulation but im not really quite sure. it cylinder number 1 where im having most of the knocking from. ill know once i take the engine apart.
I've got a 1992 Rover 216 GTi which uses the smaller version of the engine featured in your video. The Rover uses the D16A9 which has been superbly reliable and still gets 37mpg mixed driving. Great engines.
Question. I have a 77 chevy Nova with a 350... It was dynoed and got 220 HP and 240 Torque at 5000 rpm's. Also it was tested in 2nd gear..... They said at flywheel it had a little over 300 HP
Karston, nothing wrong with learning about cars, but if you're spelling paid as "payed" then you should probably pay a weeee bit more attention at school my friend.
@hotheroe so whats wrong with him spelling something wrong he gets his point through does he have to be compleatley correct with it this is not a perfect world ya know not everybody is a good speller that is a easy to spell but its not worth insulting someone
VERY DETAILED VID! I have been watching car shows for the past 20 or so years on and off and I have never seen a more in depth and detailed engine explanation than this. This would be excellent teaching material for schools. The effort with the multiple angles and video editing really show. I can only imagine how long it takes to make one of these vids.
wow i very liked ur video. this video helped me alot and will too for my engine class as well for the rest of my auto classes. u were very very great. thanks so much for taking the time to explain and show most all there is for an engine, unlike alot of other half assed engine videos on youtube. if i could in person id give u hug! :D
@eins2001 Definition is: Motor, A machine, esp. one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device. Engine, A machine with moving parts that converts power into motion. So I hate to break it to you but that thing in your car can be called a motor or an engine.
@loudpipesavelives69 I had the same question, I think theyre not as efficient, basically since a turbo puts more air in the engine to allow for more fuel.
The baby effect was awesome haha wasn't expecting that, i knew some of the stuff.. What I didnt know was that the 2 camshafts had different sizes between the exhaust and intake. This got me wondering to how an SOHC works
Nice video-I knew internal combustion engines were inefficient, but 80%, ouch! When you had the block inverted I thought you should have mentioned the main crankshaft bearings, both the number, placement & significance.
Awesome video. As a guy who wants to learn about about cars but knows minimal to nothing about them, I learned A LOT. I would like to request the "Part 2" to this video. If you have the time and energy, I'm sure a lot of us would like to learn about the engine details, what we are looking at under the hood, and how to repair our cars and engines. Either way, thanks for the video.
@FrenchValleyAirport Oh really? You're forgetting about mowers, small tractors, and other light duty equipment. Many of them have 3 cylinder engines, and are very successful. Plus, and inline 9 cylinder engine would be stupidly long. Inline 6's are even getting to be too long to fit into today's vehicles.
@FrenchValleyAirport They run fine in a radial format. Radial engines for the most part have odd number of cylinders, even twin row engines. Each bank of cylinders have odd numbers, take for example a Pratt & Whitney R-2800, 18 cylinders total, but in twin banks of 9 cylinders.
Thanks. I know how an engine works, but I didn't know the names of some of the parts (I have horrible memory when it comes to remembering names :D) This video really helped me out. Great Job!
I'v always wanted to know how an engine works. You have a down to earth way of sharing what you know. It felt personal. I'v always wanted to learn this stuff and rebuild my own engine. Aside from learning precise measuring which sound a bit daunting, I am way more confident at giving it a try. Not many people would make a nice video like this without being over technical and sounding smart at our loss. Thank you very much. By the way, Like the baby sound effect at the piston drop. lol
great video!!! after this I wonder if can be possible to change from one cam shaft to two cam shafts by just changing the top part of the engine?!?!? and if its possible, do I have to change the ecu to match the new setting?!?!?!
thanks man,effort is worthy man everyone likes it..people who wants to help like you are very few ..please keep up the good work,.may god bless you..thanks man
Just wanna say thanks for taking time to make this video. Although the video is only 30 minutes long, i'm pretty sure you spent way more time in making it. You are really great at explaining stuff.
BTW, I just took off my stock exhaust manifold from my b18b and getting ready to put on a log manifold for turbo. What do you recommend (such as cleaning etc) before putting the new one in? What gasket do you recommend? Copper? Thanks! :)
Only 20% efficiency?! That's crazy. And I was thinking they were pretty efficient, being able to squeeze out that kind of power out of a tiny spray of fuel! But I guess I was wrong, VERY wrong! 80% of the power lost. Sick!
I like this man I am think I should have all your videos on my favorites really but also do you work with Nissan Maxima 4th generations because I have one that's a pain and now I have to do head gasket cylinder on there it's overheating bad now.
? eric i have a 2002 gmc yukon ....i was have,n some poblem with my exhaust i was take,n it off i broke the bolt it was hard to get ..so i started drill,n it so i can take off the broken bolt but i think i drilled to far in ,,,then antifreeze started dripp,n out the hole ,,:( n HELP dont know what to do now !!!!! what do i need to do!!!I THINK I BROKE THE KOOLANT BLOCK
looks exactly like an engine we took apart at school. thanks eric u do a great job, u actually made up my mind to go into automotive by watching ur videos
so subarus like the sti have unequal length headers. why do they do that if equal is ideal like you say? i know it gives the cool rumble sound but is that all??
i've been a mechanic for over 20 years. this video is great, especially for someone learning to be a mechanic, breaking things down so it's easily understood. books are great too, but sometimes i find they go into too much detail. it was good that you said you were still learning, nobody knows everything. i learned a litlle too. nothing pisses me off more than 'know it alls'. great vid. i'm glad i subscribed, cheers, rob
WOW! You not only obviously know a lot about cars...you know how to teach and explain your knowledge very clearly and thoroughly. Not many people are skilled at doing so in a video teaching, but I give you huge props for this! Thanks, Eric!
THANK YOU ERIC!! this video was fantastic! i really enjoyed learning from you and will continue to do so! you have and continue to help me with my project car. thanks again!!
Thank you very much.Excellent explanation.If anyone says negative comments,they're a fool,because my mechanic buddies have tried to explain to me how an engine works for over 30 years and your video is the most comprehensive I have ever come across.Good work.Peace
Awsome video Eric I was woundering if you could tellme something. I want to rebuild a 351 Winsor and I want to build it to be a bit more torquey and added HP of coarse I have a 1996 Ford Bronco and I think I have SOHC with roller rockers I wanted to know if I pull a 351 from say an 88 would I be able to use the same lifters in my 96 351W?
Eric the car guy! You're the man. I'm a mechanical engineer at a top university and I can honestly tell you that watching this video alone made me feel a lot more like a mechanical engineer than my first two years of college. Hats off to you.
Hey Eric, I go same name.... sick name buddy aha... Anyhow I thank you so much for this video I'm a 15 year old studying to be a mechanic and hadn't known much about car engines at all. I know a lot about small engines but cars are not as similar to small engines as I'd like them to be but hey there's no easy way out. Either way this has been very helpful and educational video.
just asking,would it be a good idea to take apart my engine block and just give evrything a good clean,and wat should i look for to know if somthing needs replacing?thanks
Thank you so much for the video. I really enjoyed it and was able to learn a few things. I am 16 years old and am really interested in engines and cars. I am definately looking toward becoming a mechanic. It is one of the only things that has really caught 100% of my focus and interest. I am glad to of found out about you and your channel tonight and look forward to watching the rest of your videos. Thank you so very much for taking time to help educate people like me.
best video ive seen on how an engine works ever! im from the uk and am getting really in to my motorbikes and this has really helped me out a LOT! im certainly subscribing! i work in high precision mechanical engineering as a cnc programmer/miller and i find all of this amazing and addictive. best. explanations ever and a voice good enough for radio! THANKS ERIC!
I work on my car all the time and know quite a bit but I've really been wanting to learn more about the engine since I wanna be a mechanic and sometimes my dad goes into detail explaining things to me and though I know the terminology it's been hard for me to follow the science but thanks to this video I understand so much more! I'll definitely be subscribing. =D
Thank you for making this video, Eric! I wanted a straight to the point way to understand how an engine works and this video helped extremely. The birthing of the piston was just a bonus. LOL!
Loved the video. Im just starting to learn about engines/Cars Etc. But I've wanted to do a hands on kinda way. this helped me alot. Im only 15 dont work. But i want to practice some of this. I was wondering is there something cheap i can start to learn on. Lawnmower. Dirtbikes etc. Something to fix up for myself.
Anyway would you to let me know. Even if you don get time. Great video. Loved all 30 mintues
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!! Your a boss!! but i have a question or 2 lol how do you know what position to put the cam shafts in and tell the difference between the two since you stated they where different. Again thank you!!!
@ssadriank The cams are marked intake and exhaust, as for the position you pretty much follow the procedure for setting up engine timing for that one. Thanks for the comment.
Estoy estudiando lo que es la Mecánica sin duda este vídeo es una gran ayuda para conocer los accesorios del motor.... pero en idioma ingles no entiendo nada pueden explicarlo en español Gracias
@EricTheCarGuy of course, i'm going to sub! but i've got to pick your mind. i've never worked on an engine but i really want to! how do you suggest i gather the balls to take down an engine and start working on one? i was thinking of gettin an ole 454 from the scrap yard and making it my new project. and advice as to what i should look for when pillaging for my new one?
I'm having an cylinder on my f22 accord not fire. I am thinking its the fuel injector because when I unplugged one of the four it did not effect the idle; but the engine is really old (300k miles) and I was told (gasp) it could be the piston rings. Is it a bonecrushing job to replace the piston rings in a 91 accord wagon LX? I don't want to take it to a shop because that would be like over 1000$. I am wondering that if it is the piston rings how difficult would this job be on my car.
@mishakol129 How about start with a compression test or better yet a leak down test to confirm your suspicions. I've done videos on both that show the process. BTW I don't recommend rebuilds as it actually costs a lot more than just replacing the engine with a salvage yard unit. Good luck.
Thank you so much eric for this video it helped me alot. but i was wondering if you have a video or if you can make a video about all the diferent systems in an engine including what can go wrong and what you can do to trouble shoot the problem like figuring out where you are leaking from and fix it, thank you
@sndrums10 That's pretty much at the heart of what I do. I shoot those videos whenever they come in but I hope to cover more fuel and emissions stuff in the future after I get more of the 'electrical series' under my belt. Thanks for the comment.
this video helped me understand the engine waaaay better, since its out of the car and you go over all of the parts. and mainly cause I have a DA9 lol
really good one....

hello,
i've been a mechanic for over 20 years. this video is great, especially for someone learning to be a mechanic, breaking things down so it's easily understood. books are great too, but sometimes i find they go into too much detail. it was good that you said you were still learning, nobody knows everything. i learned a litlle too. nothing pisses me off more than 'know it alls'. great vid. i'm glad i subscribed, cheers, rob

WOW! You not only obviously know a lot about cars...you know how to teach and explain your knowledge very clearly and thoroughly. Not many people are skilled at doing so in a video teaching, but I give you huge props for this! Thanks, Eric!

I've never thought of a crank as bicycle pedals, but it's a great analogy. Great video.

Thank you very much.Excellent explanation.If anyone says negative comments,they're a fool,because my mechanic buddies have tried to explain to me how an engine works for over 30 years and your video is the most comprehensive I have ever come across.Good work.Peace

Awsome video Eric I was woundering if you could tellme something. I want to rebuild a 351 Winsor and I want to build it to be a bit more torquey and added HP of coarse I have a 1996 Ford Bronco and I think I have SOHC with roller rockers I wanted to know if I pull a 351 from say an 88 would I be able to use the same lifters in my 96 351W?

Eric the car guy! You're the man. I'm a mechanical engineer at a top university and I can honestly tell you that watching this video alone made me feel a lot more like a mechanical engineer than my first two years of college. Hats off to you.

Hey Eric, I go same name.... sick name buddy aha... Anyhow I thank you so much for this video I'm a 15 year old studying to be a mechanic and hadn't known much about car engines at all. I know a lot about small engines but cars are not as similar to small engines as I'd like them to be but hey there's no easy way out. Either way this has been very helpful and educational video.

This was absolutely great!
I work on my car all the time and know quite a bit but I've really been wanting to learn more about the engine since I wanna be a mechanic and sometimes my dad goes into detail explaining things to me and though I know the terminology it's been hard for me to follow the science but thanks to this video I understand so much more! I'll definitely be subscribing. =D

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!! Your a boss!! but i have a question or 2 lol how do you know what position to put the cam shafts in and tell the difference between the two since you stated they where different. Again thank you!!!
ssadriank 3 months ago 10
@ssadriank The cams are marked intake and exhaust, as for the position you pretty much follow the procedure for setting up engine timing for that one. Thanks for the comment.

@EricTheCarGuy thanks and with that i totally understand now but do you think you doing this with a v8 (ls engine preferably) could be in the future?

@EricTheCarGuy of course, i'm going to sub! but i've got to pick your mind. i've never worked on an engine but i really want to! how do you suggest i gather the balls to take down an engine and start working on one? i was thinking of gettin an ole 454 from the scrap yard and making it my new project. and advice as to what i should look for when pillaging for my new one?
fanofCOH 3 months ago
@fanofCOH 454's are heavy, you might start with something lighter, the principals are the same for most internal combustion engines. Good luck.

I'm having an cylinder on my f22 accord not fire. I am thinking its the fuel injector because when I unplugged one of the four it did not effect the idle; but the engine is really old (300k miles) and I was told (gasp) it could be the piston rings. Is it a bonecrushing job to replace the piston rings in a 91 accord wagon LX? I don't want to take it to a shop because that would be like over 1000$. I am wondering that if it is the piston rings how difficult would this job be on my car.
Thanks.
mishakol129 3 months ago
@mishakol129 How about start with a compression test or better yet a leak down test to confirm your suspicions. I've done videos on both that show the process. BTW I don't recommend rebuilds as it actually costs a lot more than just replacing the engine with a salvage yard unit. Good luck.
EricTheCarGuy 3 months ago
@EricTheCarGuy Why would it cost a lot more to rebuild the engine if you do it yourself?
mishakol129 3 months ago
Thank you so much eric for this video it helped me alot. but i was wondering if you have a video or if you can make a video about all the diferent systems in an engine including what can go wrong and what you can do to trouble shoot the problem like figuring out where you are leaking from and fix it, thank you
sndrums10 3 months ago
@sndrums10 That's pretty much at the heart of what I do. I shoot those videos whenever they come in but I hope to cover more fuel and emissions stuff in the future after I get more of the 'electrical series' under my belt. Thanks for the comment.
