👋 Hey folks, James here!
This short clip from the PowerWorks podcast is a must-watch for all motorheads and curious car owners.
My co-host, Glenn Power, and I discuss a common phenomenon: the mysterious disappearance of torque from older vehicles. You know what I mean, that Nissan Sunny or your beloved Jeep just isn't quite the sports car it used to be. 😏
🚗 In this episode, we dive into the mechanics behind torque - that force which throws you back into your seat when you hit the gas. Glenn gives a crystal-clear explanation of how, as your engine wears down over time, it becomes less efficient and, unfortunately, torque takes a hit. This leads to the sad reality where you floor the pedal and... well, not much happens. 😅 But fear not, we also discuss some potential solutions for extending the life of your engine and preserving that precious torque!
📌 Top Takeaways:
1️⃣ Torque, as Glenn explains, is the effort you put into getting the horsepower to move the car. As your engine wears down, torque decreases due to less compression.
2️⃣ Engine wear doesn't always happen uniformly - factors like defects in spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel injectors can cause more wear in certain cylinders.
3️⃣ Regular oil changes can help maintain engine life and, as a result, help preserve torque. Clean oil can help control carbon deposits and prevent oil burn.
