    When I needed to scrape off the old gasket when replacing a water pump on an aluminum block, I flattened a piece of 3/4 inch copper pipe and filed the end to make a scraper that would not damage the aluminum.

    Is using Either or… frowned upon these days lol??? I'm an old Ford mechanic, we stuffed big blocks, 9" rears… into old Mustangs, Fairlanes… at a shop that has closed. Usually for carb leaks. These new cars SUCK!!!!!

    Soooo underwear under the hood is not abnormal. Lol

    I use a can of brake kleen and spray around the vacuum lines while the engine is running in intervals.. when the engine revs up.. I focus on the area where I sprayed.. it's not the most fancy way of doing things.. but it's done the trick a couple of times..

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Efrem Williams says:

    Upon finding the FOTL, I would have closed the hood and parked outside. Come get your car lady!!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lucky Baldwin says:

    Amazing. You wear latex gloves when working on engines, but don't wear them when you pick up some guy's old nasty drawers…

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel May says:

    That car is a maintanance money pit

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Doe says:

    The ole undies rag! Hahaha! I use them as well. They're usually at least half cotton. So they'regood absorbent rags.
    Couldn't agree more about belt dressing. I tried it on a noisy power steering belt. It worked… for a couple of hours. It also slung off everywhere and made a heck of a mess that I had to clean when I eventually put a new belt in.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars michael griner says:

    This guy is a Master Mechanic now because of the South Main Auto Repair channel thank you

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lee Campbell says:

    Hi Eric, checked out the super scraper on amazon. They only showed the wood handled one and, they dont ship to canada?! What’s up with that?! Some kind of proprietary mfg secret or some exotic metal that cant be exported?! Ill have to send an email to the company and see if he will ship a set to the great white north for me.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ian Zulick says:

    Say what you will, I'd take a Vulcan Tortoise over any of the new Ford cars.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars seeya205 says:

    That guy's always prepared! You never know when you will need an extra pair of underwear!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tommy Rommazontz says:

    I have the 06. I think the 05 was gay but I may be thinking of the 04. Either way, it doesnt really have anything to do with this.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kameron Stout says:

    Good ole Ford Taurus, keeping mechanics pockets full since they came out

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Turnip says:

    I drive a 2016 Honda HR-V.
    What size, brand & color underpants should I keep under the hood ??

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Man Productions says:

    BY THE WAY if you have a belt that is bad and makes noise, white bar soap works as a temporary solution it's not a FIX!

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Man Productions says:

    I've seen a lot of things under the hood of a car before, but never seen underwear 😂

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Ehrlich says:

    When President Trump uses the word monkey the left accuses him of implying that he was talking about a black person??? I never knew the word monkey was associated with black people. Sad that they would go there. I think I have an average person's take on things…where did this come from anyhow. Maybe I live a sheltered life but I don't think so. Prior to retiring I flew Internationally in jumbo jets and pretty much been all over the planet earth?

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars camper tv says:

    Of course get the engine hot prior to working on the EGR.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Puder McGavin says:

    Probably when the plugs were done as per nodata they say remove the intake which we all know doesn't need to be done. Prob why the egr is leaking lol

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LaPabst says:

    So that's where my mother in laws underwear goes to die… Live and learn.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars twin turbo says:

    Sir,where did you get that smoker machine?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rich says:

    Let's just take a look and see what we see under the hood. Oh my its undies. Is there a code for that in the old alltel

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Not You says:

    Car this old? It's like opening a Pandora's box.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tallswats22 says:

    Bruh everytime I look at your videos you're using a different scanner.. which one do you prefer

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Djentyman says:

    I had a P0171 on my 05 mercury montego (same engine) and it had the light for 4-5 days and disappeared and never came back. Car is dumb I swear 😂

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phill Cline says:

    I had the same car with the same 3.0 and it constantly had EGR failure. I put 3 on it before i traded it in.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stanley Hill says:

    I'm working on one of these now, I ended up in the pickle, the DPFE broke while I was loosening the screws for the EGR O Ring 😵
