Dissecting an Engine, The Basic Parts and Their Function - EricTheCarGuy
www.ericthecarguy.com/
I've had more than one request for this and since I had a few hours while sitting on my butt waiting for my Dodge engine to show up I thought I would fill the time by making this video for you. I have to say that after the first edit I wasn't too happy and went back and reshot not once but twice and even then I still felt I didn't cover it the way I liked. I should really start scripting these videos, it would make my life soo much easier. Anyway don't be too rough on me if you have differing opinions as I'm willing to accept them in the comments if you are nice about it but if your going to tear me a new one then please make a video of your own explaining why as at least then we will be on the same playing field.

    My internet bill is a lot cheaper than a year's worth of tuition from my public university. Sometimes I wonder why I even attend school when I've learned an insanely higher amount of knowledge from people like this guy on KZread. This video he likely didn't want to create, but did, has made a huge impact on my ability to understand the components of a modern engine. This guy cannot be thanked enough.

    It blows my mind that once upon a time a group of people somehow decided to add these tiny pieces of metal and physics to create an engine. The thought process into building one today seems simple but for people to actually make one of these for the first time ever is one of the greatest feats of knowledge mankind has ever witnessed. Amazing.

It completely scared me away from cars in general and mechanic work in particular. It seemed like hell. Wish he could have had these videos and internet to help. It was before the time of 56k modem internet. Just for the record, it was either a 1985 Volkswagen Passat or a 1990 Toyota Corolla 4WD he was working on =)

He would start throwing out a bunch of car jargon without explaining how each part works and how they work together so I gave up and just let him fix the cars. So here I am trying to save money by doing stuff on my own and learning it from scratch. I just learned more in a 32 minute video than I did living with a mechanic for 9 years. Thank you so much! You have no idea how helpful your videos are. I subscribed to your page months ago when I replaced my brakes (successfully) and I always come away understanding my cars a lot better.

    Got to say that I started a short college course on maintenance and the instructor of 30 years experience recommended Eric the Car Guy. I already learned with one watch, and intend to binge watch several videos a day until I've got this done. THIS is the kind of teaching that makes the internet and youtube the first stop for additional lessons and being able to watch and re-watch Eric until it's soaking in. Eric, you're the man!

    Just now stumbled upon your work. Solely based upon this video you have earned my respect and admiration. I especially liked the analogies used to help put things in a more familiar perspective. The love for the overall mechanics and engineering behind the process shows in your expertise good sir. Thank you for this absolute gem.

    You my good sir are amazing and made one hell of an educational video, i learned more here in 30 minutes than i have in years. Thank you for breaking this down so that i could really understand how internal combustion engines work. Im probably going to watch this a couple more times to memorize all the parts you named. This is my first post ever on youtube, but i just had to thank you for this video and taking the time to explain everything.

    For some reason, this is my first time running across this channel, not that I typically search for these kinds of videos, but it must have shown up since I recently started looking for motorcycle engine maintenance videos. Anyway, what an excellent and exceedingly helpful video. Eric would make an outstanding teacher. This was probably one of the best and most informative videos that I have ever seen, regardless of topic. Well done, EricTheCarGuy.

    You're doing the world a huge favor!! Being that we all drive cars, we should all know at least the basic parts and principles on how they work. Some people don't really care because they can just take it into someone who does know about them, but for me, I'd rather save money by having the knowledge.

    i have to say i am a huge fan, man. Been watching your videos sparatically for the last couple years. But this past week i was out of work for 5 days dues to a surgery and ive been watching your videos all day and night. You've got a ton of knowledge and a great way of explaining things to the layman that really cuts through more than most of the other channels out there. I just bought my daughter a 2004 honda accord sedan and am going to be pimping it out a bit for her this spring. You have totally inspired me to make a video series on her car upgrade process. I'll be sure to link you in every video i make in my makeshift mini series . Going to be tearing out the interior, kilmatting everything, replacing speakers, adding some budget powered subs, maybe some interior lighting, new headlights, light painting on the trunk, new rims and tires, as well as a full tune up of the engine, valve adjustment, fluid flushes,etc and a full engine bay detail. spring cant come quick enough. Super excited. Thanks to you for the push forward in the project.

    Thank you so so so much. You have made my life so much easier and better. My brother is a mechanic. He eats, sleeps, and breathes cars. I will sometimes help/watch him in the shop, and just hand him tools, and help him find things. (He has a really messy work space lol). I have always tried to keep up and understand what he is doing. Cars have always interested me as well. I am fascinated by them, and I want to learn about them. This video has done just that. It explains the engine on a level that even an idiot like me can understand. It’s simple, and cut-to-the-chase. I love it. Everything is so clear now. You are a lifesaver man. Thank you! 😁🙏🏼

The dad's truck series was really appreciated, because it directly addresses my current project albeit a suburban instead of the pick up truck being a donor of most everything I'm swapping. The pick up is suffering from PA weather ravages but has had so much mechanical tlc that it would be a crime to scrap.
