Customer decided to use bread without butter 😂 to remove pilot bearing and instead of getting the results he wanted he made a bigger mess. Let’s see what we gotta do to correct
"What the hell is this stand doing here?".... (tech-Its so the car doesnt come off the lift...). "I wanna start it up...lets start it up.... (tech-"Theres no oil in it."..) 2 saves in 2 minutes. Lol. Cmon dave....😂😂😂
I love that tech. “Why’s this Jack here?” Tech: “So the car doesn’t flip when we pull the transmission”. “Let’s start start the car up.” Tech:”there’s no oil in it.”
Dave strikes me as the kind of guy that would need you to stay late and work overtime to finish an important job but when he finds out it’s your daughter or son’s birthday and he stays to finish it himself and send you on your way to be with your family
I’ve never binged watch a Car Shop channel like this before like i’m watching a tv show. Dave has a GREAT personality and a genuinely good heart and it shows
A quick search of the forums tells me many other folks have smashed in the oil gallery plug on their hollow crank LS motors trying variations on the bread trick. Respect to the customer being happy to talk candidly about the mistake!
As an Agricultural mechanic I always tell my customers that while we are in there we should change components that could fail. This includes seals, o’rings and some bearings. I tell them that everything inside there is the same age as each other, and if one component has failed the others are not far away from doing the same.
I started using the 4 C's. Used them today to diagnose the AC on an older Buick. It definitely seemed to simplify my usual process of diag and repair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hello Dave, this freeze plug was put in place due to the hole drilled into the main cap bulkheads. This hole was drilled thru the crankshaft to equalize crankcase pressure between the main bearing web bulkheads. This was done to all the mains on this Gen III engine in this LS1 Vette. And yes it will cause an horrendous leak if let out. This hole is drilled all the way thru the crank except at the very front main.

Not on a ls motor. Getting mechanical advice from autozone or advance.... no no

DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR PARTS GUY ON HOW TO REMOVE STUFF
Bread trick definitely works. All over the internet and in the brains of home mechanics everywhere
I NEVER EVER knew that those cranks were plugged at the rear….WOW I’m 54yo and just learned something new…..
- “Think we’re gonna start this car up”
Smart thinking by the tech with the support under the front of the car. Can never be too sure.
Smart man. Knew when to stop.

The whole world needs alot more people like you and your family.

I used bread 4 months ago on my son's 240SX pilot bushing. Worked surprisingly well.
There is nothing like having a boss/owner helping their employees in a way of teaching and doing their jobs and helping the customers.
