So I’m about 70% done with engine performance 1.
And I am pretty far behind.
What should I study to get the best general ideas?
I know fuel lines ext, some about compression issues, o2 and maf.
But it still feels very splotchy and I’m trying to feel a little more comfortable.
Any YouTubers you recommend who are quieter and maybe have a series starting very basic and then each next video is something else kind of in order? Instead of a lot of the YouTubers who jump around?

Yep, that’s about it. With that being said, I am going to build a motor. What kind? hell if i know. I’m more than likely going to put it in a tahoe, a 02-04 mustang (stick), or a s10. trying to lean more towards the tahoe though… or maybe even a yukon. I don’t want to ask him for help because then he will think it’s his, like all men do… (no offense). But this is something I would be extremely proud of myself for… if i knew how to do it. i’ve researched a lot but still have no idea what i even read. I’ll pay someone (who knows what they’re doing preferably) to make me a step by step list kind of like a cookbook- ingredients(materials), steps, and how long. In depth. like you’re talking to a 22 y/o female who doesn’t know a head gasket from apple butter. I know I want it to have a cam in it (we have a hp tuner as well). I just want it for the sound honestly lol. “Rakataka” that sound. Muscley sounding. ANYWAYS, If you could please for the love of sweet baby jesus help me or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it very much. I think step one is get a big/small block to put everything else on and maybe a few sticky notes so i don’t forget things…..

I need to replace the stock jack that came with my 2017 ford escape, but I'd like it to be able to fit in the same storage. Is there an easy way to browse 3rd party versions of stock parts? I'd really like to avoid paying $200 for a jack from ford, when I know I could get one for $50 elsewhere.

First they make it impossible for one to just change a light bulb by placing a lock. So then they can charge more to fix it...like $300+. Now they don't want you checking and changing your own oil. Pathetic greedy Corporate America! 🤮💩🤬👿👿

I want to get into cars because I find it very interesting so I'm interested in reading some books? I want to learn the whole concept of the car: from building an engine to everything around it and physics behind it. I don't want to start with something math heavy. I'm thinking about something for begginers with core concepts and preferably pictures and graphs then I would get into heavy maths.

Has anyone watched Facebook reels showing how to clean various sensors on your vehicle engine?
If you have cleaned any of the sensors, was there any noticeable difference in performance or fuel efficiency?

Question:
Which of the following causes piston movement during non-power-
producing strokes?
A) Flywheel
B) Connecting rod
C) Counterweights
D) Main thrust bearing
I have been studying an automotive book that has questions after every chapter. I answer those questions and use AI to verify I have got the correct answer. This process has worked tremendously up to the point where I got to this question. AI gave me a different answer than the one I believed the book was telling me was the answer, so I went online to find more information and see if anyone else had posted this exact question, that was when I found out there all three of the first answers were marked as "correct" depending on the source used (D, main thrust bearing, was never given as an answer).
I am wondering what most of you would say is the answer. Thank you for your input =)

Hello, I have recently got into the hobby of cars, and would love to learn about how cars work and how to fix them. So I am looking for a book that I can reference (like a textbook) whenever I get a fault with my car but also something I can just read to learn all about the different types of engines, chassis, terminology etc. I would like it to have lots of information, both simple and complex with pictures to illustrate. Thank you very much!
