Though he rarely mentions it, imacman had an earlier career at Chrysler writing, producing, directing AND starring in his own automotive training videos. This experience has served him well as he is responsible for writing most of the pellet stove manuals. His famous down to earth writing style makes even the most complex machines seem simple when he explains them.

Here's one of his most famous and widely viewed videos from his Chrysler days... enjoy.

Wow. That was hilarious!! I heard almost every word known to Man. Except Flux-capacitor... Although I may have missed it. Gotta go back and watch it again. Too Funny!!

I guess that explains why Chrysler is where it's at today. :bug:
 
Aaaaaaahhhh....the good old days at Christ-ler.....but I forgot to mention in the video, that if the reverse turmoligator framitz gets clogged with sigmoid oil, then the girdle spring will most likely snap, and resulting in a overload of the downstream muffler bearings.

That is NEVER a good thing. :cheese:
 
Girdle springs must also be given a wide berth because when they snap stuff just goes all over the place.
 
Well I swan if that isn't the clearest and most comprehensive explanation of that thingy I've ever heard. I was especially interested in the explanation of the downstream overhead muffler bearings as I have had extensive repair experience with them since the 1950's as a hot rodder. I also did much of the initial development of the rotary valves on the old flat head Ford engines. Unfortunately the final engines failed to complete a quarter mile run as the millicient chain drives perambulated excessively in the cars even though on the formogulated test stand they withstood 15 thousand RPM. Oh, and the engines didn't seem to have the strength to take 2000 HP when run on an O/H mixture along with hydrozene.

Other than that I'd be a gazillionare by now.
 
That's funny as hell. After three Sam Adams, I understood what he was saying. Now THAT'S scary. Maybe it was the 3 shots of Wild Turkey that went with the beers........
 
And fill the bumper fluid.. Check the Kanuter valves while your down there!
 
A buddy of mine offered this explanation after watching the video

"Ahhh, sinusoidal enflabulation was actually invented (discovered) by Leonardo di Vinci in the 1400's. Unfortunately, Leonardo was not successful because of lack of certain technology and, of course, materials issues. Rather than making the stator from double-flame hardened neutonium with the platinum coating and the Waspaloy hub, he tried using Cypriot oak with bearings made from good Norweigan pine. When the rotor reached maximum rpm of approximately 17,500, it contacted the stator catastrophically, causing the entire housing assembly to lose integrity and scatter its contents tangentially in the usual explosive pattern. Unfortunately for the Duke of Vallois, whose castle Leonardo was supposedly defending, and his entire household, his entire army, seventeen cows and an ox, the resulting explosion and conflagration destroyed everything to a radius of 2 miles. Leonardo had the presence of mind to be away in the village shopping for chives and milk curds, thus preserving his life and art for posterity. Had he not been away, I fear we never would have seen the Mona Lisa. "

This may be the most comprehensive, well-thought-out explanation I have ever heard. Had di Vinci access to hardened neutonium with the platinum coating, we may have evolved into far superior beings...
