    Lol it's YouTube, no worries there. A date with her would definitely be worth the visit to the doc after. #noragerts

    Woman gives birth in car right before getting into crash
    https://www.kxan.com/news/weird-news/woman-gives-birth-in-car-right-before-getting-into-crash/

    (NBC) – A Georgia woman has quite the birth story to tell one day and she’s got police body cam to prove it.

    The woman was in labor headed to the hospital with her mother driving when the SUV crashed. Police say the SUV crashed into a power pole and a fence before eventually coming to a stop.

    If that wasn’t scary enough, police say the newborn was no where to be found.

    Eventually, an officer was able to carefully pull the baby out from under the back seat with its umbilical cord still attached.

    The infant was taken to the hospital. Both mom and baby are expected to be okay.

    His voice sounds about what I’d expect from someone doing this exceptional resurface work.

    I'm 80% certain it's done as a joke.

    It’s the 20% that I’m worried about. Well not worried because I could careless outside the nonsense of it. I’ve met people that would actually do this, even if this guy is being satire or not.

    I purchased a "rebuilt" engine once that got the flap disc treatment on the heads. If I hadnt moved 1100 miles away, I would have returned the heads to the car the engine "came out of".

    Who needs a machine shop when you have a $10 Harbor Freight angle grinder and a tube of Home Depot's finest exterior grade caulk?

    Just be sure to keep the caulk out of the water passages and you're golden.

    Engine is guaranteed to last at least as long as a bag of Chips Ahoy at Rosie O'Donnells's house.

    Pffft heads you can resurface on the street corner with sandpaper taped to plate glass. Why spend $40 on an angle grinder? :p

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    Unconventional, but as much as I watched, he seems educated and it makes sense to me. Like he says, if you are broke, it should work. Not my ideal way, but desperate times...

    Edited to include his final statement, well from 17:00 to 19:00 ish. I won't quote, but its worth the watch. I'm not an engineer, mechanic or machinist, but I like this guy!!

    Yep he's legit. I subscribe to his channel. May well learn a thing or two for trail repairs.

    Though with a 4WD Taco, I don't think it's as easy to replace connecting rod bearings curbside, with traffic whizzing by. :)

    I've done aboard the ship for various things. There's one potential problem with his technique though. At the start of the pushing stroke he's pushing down and a the start of the pull stroke he's pulling up. You want to avoid doing that as it can cause a hump in the middle of your work.

    That's valid. I just appreciate that he's old school. You don't whine and complain for someone else to fix it, you just come up with a solution that works, or you hope it does at least.

    Oh absolutely. Far too many people have given up before they've even started.

    Yup, this is a legit technique. I remember reading about doing this with heads on two stroke dirt bike engines. Tape or glue wet sandpaper to glass, hold the head flat and move it in a figure 8 pattern. It was so long ago I don’t remember if I read it in Motocross Action or it might have actually been in a service manual.
