Angelina and Sandro are pretty much the perfect pair on this show. They obviously are both passionate about care and super knowledgeable but having Angela's detailed explanations along with Sandro's more relaxed attitude towards everything makes for a hilarious combination. Obviously the hosts are doing great as well. This show just keeps getting better and better, keep it up! :D
We need a video where they tell their wildest stories
Plus Angelina keeps getting hotter and sandro keeps getting cooler
Sandro sucks
This is my favorite double pair in car vids on all of CZcams. Two great hosts and two great mechanics makes for a great show. 👍🏽
I think the pairings also help a lot too.
The best episodes are when Angelina is paired with Justin/Jobe, because they're all very technical & great at explaining how the system is *supposed* to work, what went wrong in this case, why it's wrong, what should be done to fix it (if it can be fixed).
Sandro is incredibly knowledgeable, but I think he pairs best with James because they're both just super chill and Bro out over their reactions. No less informative, but more big picture/big laughs, and the explanations are more broad strokes.
Nolan & Jeremiah are kinda wildcards, because they can fit well in either context. Technical or Bro-y "For the Boys".
I love the contrast of Angelina's instructorship with Sandro's veteran shop gremlin attitude. 😂 They're both great and knowledgeable, coming at the problems from two different perspectives.
shop gremlin hahahha love it
"shop gremlin" lmaoo
Shop gremlin has me cracking up 😂😂
"Veteran shop gremlin" dude that's golden. Especially that grin he has. fits your description perfectly.
with their powers combined
Captain Mechanic hes the hero
he will reduce oil leaks to zero
Hes our skills magnified,
he can fix car that has been totalled
I love the contrast between Angelina and Sandro.
Angelina goes into instructor mode and talks about everything going on under the hood, and why it does what it does.
Then Sandro looks at it from his perspective as an on the job mechanic, and just says “Shit’s fucked, but it looked like fun.”
They’re both very knowledgeable, but it’s how they learned and where they apply their knowledge that’s made them so different. And that’s what’s so cool about hearing both of their opinions.
I didn't knew it before, but I long suspected that she's teaching.
Really would be a waste if she didn't.
shits fucked but it looked fun
ahahahah every time i take a rim bash wheel to my tire shop
Former Blown alcohol Pro Mod, TAD, and TAFC racer here commenting on the blown Big Block Chevy fire. The tank that is belching fire is what is referred to as a puke tank. High level blown motors spit up a lot of oil from crank case pressure and they get a lot of fuel into the oil via blowby from the rings and the sheer amount of fuel we dump in. We have to vent that externally away from the engine and away from the tires which is why it's located towards the rear of the car and routed either with special hose, a pipe, or through the chassis rails, This is a must regardless of wet or dry sump oiling systems. As far as what happened and how it lit on fire that far forward it appears the head gasket pushed (Green flame of burning copper out exhaust at bank two 13:25) which then blew the burst panel (Flames by the idler pulley at 13:25) shooting flame forward igniting the vapors from the puke tank. Using a fan to blow the fumes back towards the engine is a bad idea, we don't run coolant on blown alcohol (Save for monster trucks) or blown fuel (Nitro) engines anyway, it would be useful between pulls to help cool it down for the next pull but not during. A burst panel diverter or having the tank in the rear could have prevented the vapor fire. Here is a link where you can see the puke tank venting out the back of a pro mod (Center rear decklid) czcams.com/users/shortsYYh4vDpC3sk
Thanks for the great explanation!

@@RobotDCLXVI Thanks
Sandro is my favorite guest you guys have ever had. Absolutely need to hire him full time to be on Donut.
He runs his own shop, he ain't gonna quit that for this!!!
@@samuelgarrod8327he can run his shop and work in donut, just hire people and make more 💵
@@flatpedalswinmedals7274 bro it is 2023, get new insults
Sandro and the boys are not down to ride with meth.
@@samuelgarrod8327 maybe he could be a part of regular donut videos, working on shit with Jerry or Zach
Angelina going 15 minutes into why u don’t downshift in high rpms and Sandro just laid back like Money shift baby. Love the dynamic
Angelina: *explains the mechanics and how things work/go wrong 🤓
Sandro: Anything for the Boyssss 😎
Such a perfect vibe and pair for the show, great job!
Angelina is probably such a good teacher. She's so good at explaining things in a very thorough but not at all condescending way
Absolutely my two favorite guest hosts. Angelina would be that friend that would feel bad for you and tell you exactly what you did wrong and help you fix it. Sandro would be that best friend that says "Here's what you did wrong. You're an idiot and you need to give me a lot of money and beer."
Don't forget that Sandro definitely would laugh at you, in a loveable friend way lol
Sandro is more like "Here's what you did wrong. Now gather 'tha boyz' and lemme show you noobs how you go REALLY wrong."
@@TheMarslMcFlyand if you do any sketchy modifications to your car he'd gladly go for a ride with you.
sandro would also be the dude who would egg you on knowing what would happen... you know... for the boys.
2 of my favorite hosts, both my favorite guests. Just take my like
Saw Angelina on the vid. Instant view. Saw Sandro in the vid. Instant like
true!!!
@@AnnoLP ^^^ This truthiness, here, right here ^^^
@@AnnoLPyesss the other mechanics are amazing but I love these two. They’re just fun to watch
Paul (I think his name is?) is on par with Sandro and Miss A for me.
Great last point there about cold starts! Engineers design these cars knowing that people don't want to have to wait around for the engine to warm up. Give it a minute or two for everything to get situated, then drive it like normal until it's up to temp before you start going crazy. More and more vehicles nowadays have yellow indicators before the redline to let you know that's the recommended temporary limit until the engine gets warmer, so keep an eye on that as well.
Listening to Angelina on the technical made complete sense to me and then Sandro with his grunge style approach to being a mechanic? Lol I could listen and talk to them all fucking day! They are amazing
Angelina and Sandro truly the dream team
Sandrolina!
I'm 55 and would start at apprentice wages to work with Sandro or Angelina even though I am qualified😂😂😂
I love Ms. Instructor and the Vampire Mechanic.
Give us a Sandro-Angelina only episode already!
Get Paul in there as well. Hes great too.
"Vampire Mechanic" 😆... He only comes out from under the car when the sun goes down
I love his teeth. He’s hot! Lol!
@@grewntd goddamn dude, I choked on some garlic bread!!
Sandro is getting a lot more comfortable in the studio and it makes for amazing content. Angelina is awesome, as well. Love this series.
0:09 this is why its called a cummins engine
I really love the contrast you have in your experts - one likes to do everything by the book and explains everything like she is a teacher (because she is a teacher) and the other is much more "real-world" and is happy to push the rules a little bit, but they're both obviously experts and great fun to watch. Please do more with these two, I'd love to see them in the same room or working on the same car!
I agree.
I would love to see the two of them tryingvto convince each other on what to test first and how to test it and how to fix it. Angelina would be like , I'll get the chocks, jacks, jack stands, safety glasses, gloves and fire extinguisher then we can hook up these two thousabd pieces of test equipment anSandro would be like, lets do donuts for the boys until something falls of . Then we will know what to fix.
@MrYfrank14 somehow I feel like I agree with them both and that's the sort of magic that made Top Gear so succesful
@elliottsw - I don't mean they disagree in the sense that one thinks the other is wrong, I mean, they would disagree on things because Angelina is safety, methodical, do it the right way, by the book. You start by diagnostics and eliminating causes.
Santos is more of a " let's try this . Oops, it burst into flames. Let's try this" kind of mechanic.
If you gave both of them the same car to diagnose, both would find the problem and fix it, but how they found the problem and how they fixed it would be completely different.
They would both be right in the end, but how they got to the end would be different.
i agree with everyone else... Sandro and Angelina are awesome, get these two on the payroll asap, they are the reason I keep coming back to these videos.
I feel like Angelina has a ton of suppressed adult humor waiting to come out
You can tell Angelina is a teacher because of the expert way she breaks down and explain things
I love that the "money shift" for Sandro just has him rubbing his hands together with a smile on his face. That how I always picture a mechanic when watching these kinds of vids lmaooo
Sandro was writing the invoice in his head while watching that one
If I were to take an automotive class, I would definitely want someone like Sandro or Angelina to be my teacher. So informative, and such great personalities!
I legit cheered when they said Angelina and Sandro were the guests, they're the best. Both have a sense of humour, both are knowledgeable, both are entertaining, and Sandro is absolutely hilarious
Lesson of the day: Don't do Meth. ✅
I have never seen this many positive comments about guests either. And it isn’t just this video, it’s EVERY video with these two. They’re truly awesome for this
Bunch of simps and bandwagon kiddos
I love how smart Angelina is while still being funny. She's the kind of teacher I always wish I would get in school and college.
Angela could easily have her own CZcams Shorts, even if they are chopped up clips from the episodes. Santino is awesome too, just love those college-level explanations from Ang
Every new episode I love Angelina and Sandro more and more. It's a perfect combination of the down to earth "get stuff done" mentality and the "this is the science of it", it's awesome to see Angelina become more enthused and expressive though I have the feeling they may have asked Sandro to calm down a little after the last few episodes with the many bleeps which was pretty hilarious actually.
Angelina and Sandro are the absolute best co-hosts of this show. Angelina because she is knowledgeable and teaches you how stuff works as if you were one of her students, Also, she is pretty easy on the eyes, And my boy Sandro, Also knowledgeable, but has his own hilarious way of delivering commentary. Keep these two, give them their own show, they are absolute gold.
Sandro is definitely the beauty tho. Look at them pointy chompers
Angelina is smokin hot
@@gamemeister27he’s got that “I’ve seen centuries” kinda timeless beauty
Angelina is academically smart, Sandro is street smart
Angelina is beautifully gorgeous. So much so that one word just doesn't cut it. Needs two or more descriptive words strung together.
So smart taking this off donut and putting it on its own channel. Love both of them. ❤
as someone who has barely any knowledge about cars, I really love the way Angelina explains things. That way even I can understand what the problem is.
Angelina, on the off chance you read this: keep being awesome
I personally learn something every episode with Ms. A. The fact she explains the necessities for some clips and builds a foundation for the viewer to grasp is why we are here.
11:29 it is actually impressive to have nothing but splinters left of your rods and pistons. Like just a pile of mangled coins left.
One of the worst i've ever seen lol
There's a vid of Steve Morris tearing apart an SMX that had all eight rods shatter at once
That's called TORQUE, bay-bee!
I love when Angelina talks shop. She's clearly passionate and knowledgeable and its just fun to listen to someone talk about their passion
Idk man, she said to possibly JB Weld the piece back into the block.
@@kalmlykeabombNot to mention on the first clip she said that Dodge obviously had a radiator problem. Not at all correct. Other dude was dead on, head gasket issues. There’s been other videos I’ve seen her on that she wasn’t correct on either.
Donut listens I'll say that. Angelina and Sandro were instant favorites and they locked em down.
I guess the only thing I can complain about is these videos aren't long enough 😂😂😂 the entertainment value plus the the breakdown afterwards is awesome just wish you guys could go longer lol
Your not the only one
Angelina making an inappropriate joke on the first clip but trailing off quietly at the end cuz she was nervous it wouldn't be well-received. I feel that
Probably realized her students might watch it lol
@@FuckGoogle502i’m one of her students watching it
Sandro and Angelina are so charasmatic. I can watch them for hours.
Angelina is incredible. Sandro is incredible. What great finds.
I love that duo… Angelina and Sandro are so different yet so cool…she goes into the theory of stuff, and he just spits facts 😄 and both are funny. Please do more with them together
Donut commenters have got to be the most normal humans on youtube because they always get the correct vibe on new guests and hosts. I could watch Sandro and Angelina with any pair of Donut hosts all day. Make them famous like Jobe.
they are getting really comfy in front of the camera, it really shows! great job everyone
I assume y’all record a bunch of episodes at once, but definitely bring these two back. They’re the best they’ve had on the channel by far
Angelina and Sandro
Angelina is such a queen. glad to see folks like her in the car space.
0:11
Why wouldn't we?
Ooooh, the dynamic duo is back!!!! Angelina and Sandro make my week
"Got a squirter" started the video off perfectly. No reaction or nothing either, that was perfect execution. Start each video this way. That was hilarity 😂
Angelina and Sandro are my favorites! I like Angelina’s teacher mentality and Sandro’s “for the boys” mentality. Love this channel!
She's such a good teacher and he has the greatest vibes. Y'all know how to make a show fr!
“Great vibes”. She’s hot bro say it!
Hell yea she is! I bet she can work a pickle fork and a crankshaft
@@JaredPizza Sandro the vibes I was referring to there. And for her, how quickly she articulates things in this format. Actual teachers usually don't have much time for this, so it's rad to see
I think Angelina is a cutie. But she also definitely knows her car sh¡t.
She didn't give any legit advice tho
My favorite two mechanics on this. Funny and knowledgeable! And you can tell she’s a teacher. She explains things in a very easy to understand way.
For a person who has no interest in motors, cars etc, this channel is fantastic! Thanks to the awesome crew explaining whats going in. Always learning what not to do :-)
Sandro needs his own segment! He is hilarious and I like his honesty
14:20 Proper fire extinguisher technique - pull the pin, and throw it. 👍
Always love the Angelina & Sandro show. They complement each other well since they tend to agree on the big things but give different opinions on the details.
I did a mis-shift on the highway once, 3rd instead of 5th, with no problems whatsoever. That was in an early 90s VW, though. Amazing engine.
3rd instead of 5th isn't too bad. 2nd instead of 4th is much worse, and of course the catastrophic one is 1st instead of 5th.
The Porsche obviously had a lot of custom work done, meaning the engine would be high strung and close to it's limits already. In a regular car it's set up and tuned for reliability nowhere near its limits so that something like a mis-shift won't immediately destroy it.
Sandro is an absolute riot! Something about him makes me smile and laugh every time he talks 😅
Sandro and Angelina are literally the best, can' get enough of this type of content with the Donut media crew
When the video has Angelina and Sandro on it, you know is going to be quality content
I love listening to Angelina speak. She is clear, concise, and has a lovely tone. And she ain't hard on the eyes either.
Perfect arrangement😅
I’m a track mechanic in the Army and these videos are awesome to watch. A lot of your videos have helped me in my job. Thank you guys and I love watching all of these videos.
Angelina and Sandro are my favorite guests on this show. Super fuckin knowledgeable and super chill.
11:25 - Ok now that guy... he should be proud of that carnage. I've never in my life seen so many bits in an oil pan lol, that was impressive af...
Y'all should get Eric from "I Do Cars" to give you his five favorite engine disasters! I guarantee that man has stories to tell!
Love how informative this episode was! Not just reactions but also what to do or how to prevent it with explanations. Love that.
The synchronized !@#$ with Angelina and Justin is the highlight of my day.
I did my own suspension, rotors and pads on my car thanks to your guys channels/videos. I love you. Thank you.
Did you put on Hi or Low parts?

Always watch Angelina and Sandro vids. Sandro funny as hell and Angelina is like a shop mom
Always great to see Sandro and Angelina on the show!
I learn more from Angelina’s mini explanations than I do watching any other car videos.
I found out I'll be on the road for 6 hours tomorrow, for a training sesh, and I already had a whole day's worth of work scheduled!
Argh! Anger! Many Unhappys!
*_Wait, was that Sandro and Ms. A?!_*
_friggin sweet, not a bad day after all_
Man that engine falling reminds me of working on my Dad's MG and trying to replace the transmission.
Lift failed as we were lowering it. Dropped the engine maybe three or four feet, then stopped dead just a foot above the ground. Damn near pulled the ceiling down on us. We had to scramble to build a platform out of wooden blocks and shit we had laying around to hold it up while we went to the store and bought a new lift.
I know nothing about cars and mechanics, but I love the energy Angelina and Sandro have in these videos. They're the real deal.
Love how yall get right into the clips no delay, love the content ❤
I think James pairing up with Sandro every episode is a combination that should never be broken up
yeah but i wanna know what it would be like if james and justin traded partners for one of these videos
@misseselise3864 I could see that too but I think their energy's match up well, Sandro and James are like 2 kids energy wise and Justin and Angelina are like 2 adults
I love to run through my power band, but man, the thought of money shifting really terrifies me. So I don't slam my gears. I take the time to make sure my stick went exactly where I wanted it to go.
That’s what she said
Those Honda B-series motors... when they finally go, they go in spectacular fashion! Had a late 90s CR-V get traded in at a dealership I worked for. As I was the "Honda guy" at the Toyota dealership, they handed it to me to check out as "it had engine noises." Yeah, extreme rod knock. I backed into my bay, and it blew the connecting rod straight through the block and onto the floor below it, lol. I said, "Diagnosis complete. Motor is FUBAR."
I love how collectively loved Sandro is. Put some Lucas in there 😭
Love to see these guys getting comfortable being on camera!
Sandro is fkn hilarious 😂
Really enjoy the Sandro and Angelina videos as their takes work well together despite never being on camera together. Would be neat to get an episode which is Sandro + Angelina + Host all together at once.
3:09 when I changed out an alternator for the first time I had three pages of notes. Wanted to make sure I knew EXACEXACTLY what to do and what to expect.
Aaaaand 3 months later that alternator died but I got a new one under warranty and it felt DAMN good to be able to swap it out myself!
Both these mechanics are awesome. 3/4 of them are super awesome.
Always a good day when there's more Real Mechanic Stuff going on.
Let's make this serie's motto "For the boys"😂
I love how you all have fun AND explain a lot.
Love Sandro and Angelina both. I only found Donut a couple of months ago, and I'm a watch-every-video fan of both the main channel and Real Mechanic Stuff. Thanks all for the great content!
Angelina should teach online classes and Sandro can teach me how to look cool while at the same time being the teacher's pet
We need Scotty Kilmer on this channel
Nope, he is a total Toyota Fan Boy and general idiot when it comes to auto repair...
I guarantee he despises these guys as idiots and fools! Yet he uses harbor freight tools and then complains about them lol
Hellllllllllllllllll no! lol
Unless it's using his vids to make fun of his 'hacks'.
🤮
No we don't need scotty Kilmer on this channel.hes a scam artist
Just found this channel yesterday and I'm hooked! Angelina explains things very well; seems like a great teacher. Sandro is funny af and they make a great pair of guests! I also liked the episodes with Matt (offroad wrecker) as I used to be a wreckmaster myself. I love the hosts as well. Y'all doing great things together over there and I appreciate all the work put into these videos.
Keep 'em comin!!
I really like those experts.
Angelina likes to do everything by the book and explains everything as the teacher. She learned from books and then from doing in practice.
Sandro is much more "real-world" and is happy to push the rules a little bit. He definitely learned by totalling some cars, some engines and doing all the wrong stuff so now he knows how to do it right.
I'd love to see them in the same room arguing to each other about situations!
Yes, so glad to see this series continued! Let's go!
I've been learning a lot watching you! Love the content, really like all the personalities involved. Great job!
Angelina is the best, I love every episode that her and Sandro are in
I live in New Zealand and have been working on cars for around 40yrs 1st early holden straight 6 engines had bolt on plates on side of block covering valve pushrods there was a nasty rattle inside 1 of them so when removed found a 1/2 inch spanner
15:22 As an engineer I can say even more. Warming an engine by letting it idle for 10 minutes is slowly killing it. Why? Because you are forcing your engine to work while being cold for a long time.
The best thing to do (esp. in winter) is letting the engine idle for 5-20 sec and then just proced to drive (with low RPM at first - 1000-2000).
Sandro is just pure fun to watch and listen to, great guy, imagine he's also fun to work with. Keep it up Sandro!
Agreed. Angelina and Sandro are great! Please keep rolling out videos with them!
Sandro is one my favorites.... his ZIP TIES AND BIAS PLIES LANGUAGE (BLEEPED OR NOT) is prolly one of the best out there.....NO FILTER ! BUT YOUR EDITORS GOT HIM......
Sandro is probably my favorite guest on the show he’s funny but still informative
The 10m clip was the best because how chill & underplaying the guy was
As the owner of an s54 engine, that has replaced his rod bearings and headgasket with no drama, it's great to see other manufacturers with the same problems 😂
LOL! That B18 clip felt like a spoof of that Bullitt coroner scene when they do the report on the John Doe, casually listing all the shit that's wrong with the body.
