    Lisle Tools pronunciation

    Yeah gotta love spelling and pronunciation etc etc. Ever since I've been a kid this brand of tools name to me, is Liss-Lee, some call it Lyle, I know someone that calls it Lie-cel. Who cares it seems this day and age many folks mess up the proper names of lots of things. 😍 :love:

    SR71 Max speed?

    I really enjoyed the comments below the video. Oh and no one mentions, that the higher it goes the faster it can go and it has to go faster to feed air to the air breathing engines. Then of course its also pretty chilly way up there too. So what is everyones educated guess on its max altitude...

    Mechanic praise, they do no wrong

    The scotch brite cleaning has already been done, gotta love the blowing out the inlet ports. Who cares if a valve is open right? See that at the 11 minute area. And wow this is the guy that never uses a torque wrench now he does.

    Lets talk the cost cutting measures in vehicles started years ago.

    It can be everything from design to materials. I'll start with Transaxles. And plenty more on the list. I remember some folks in the new days of transaxles thinking how nice they and front wheel drive was. I kept saying yeah, just wait till they need a rebuild or replacement. You know all the...

    Something that is lacking with EV discussions.

    I would like to see some discussions about the EV power train. Like with the ICE vehicles there is lots of information about modifying engines and transmissions etc. I see almost nothing like this about EV's. I don't think many people even know what really powers them. Just like with a gasoline...

    A true portable car lift?

    I'm talking about one you don't have to drill holes in your concrete floor. I find it strange that there is a 1 post car lift that is stand alone no drill and portable, but no one has made a 2 post lift that is? It would be a fairly simple thing to do. I don't want to be limited on the...

    VSA ever have problems with it?

    Vehicle Stability Assist, that is what Honda calls it. I suppose other brands have something similar, just curious about any problems that people have had with it. I can see where it is a good thing for some people that lack handling skills, and I can see some very dangerous potential problems...

    Auto designs and rust problems

    There have been some famous rust out problems through the years with the different brands. At least to me it seems some of the later designs maybe starting in mid 2000's have been purposely designed to rust out. Unlike some of the older early 90's cars that had rubber stoppers to fill holes in...

    2010 ish Honda vehicle

    Recently purchased it and noticed it has green coolant so likely prestone. How detrimental to the seals could this be since Honda's are known for there fussy fluid issues. I feel this is why some well known dependable cars don't live up to that, is because of using the wrong stuff for fluids...

    Scan tools and yearly costs?

    Are there any Bi directional scanners that don't require an annual fee to keep all the normal functionality? I see no reason for an average hobbyist to have to update for cars it won't be used on. And what scanners do owners here like the best?

    Used vehicle prices etc.

    So I'm finding to replace our wrecked car is just crazy, it was a 2009. Every thing I see that is somewhat affordable is either close to or over 200,000 miles, or a rebuilt title, or a former record of being hit and repaired meaning a crap paint blend etc, I've never seen blend that lasts. And...

    Just a heads up regarding brake cleaners and VOCs

    Yeah nothing to see here right? Moderator edit: the video contained profanity and has been removed. It contained an objection to Canada‘s new regulation on VOC starting on January 1, 2024.

    Which fast food places seem to care about being clean?

    Especially since they all should have learned it well during covid. It does no good for them to wear the gloves and handle everything there is, and then your food.

    The Honda mower recall

    Lots of talk on youtube about it. But not one picture of the problem. It would be nice to see how it compares to the B&S, comp release mess.

    A question about this jet engine

    At about the :28 area in the video, it shows the smoke or? Coming out of the starboard engine on its side, it doesn't seem thrust related since it is blowing more side ways than rear ward. Is there a reason for that concentrated flow from that side of the engine?
