Listen "PowerWorks-"Torque Talk: Why Does Your Old Car Feel Slow?" π§"
Episode Synopsis
π 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. π
π 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. π But fear not, we also discuss some potential solutions for extending the life of your engine and preserving that precious torque!
π Top Takeaways:
1οΈβ£ 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.
2οΈβ£ 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.
3οΈβ£ 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.
βοΈ So, if you want to keep that Nissan Sunny or Jeep feeling like a sports car for as long as possible, buckle up and join us on this torque-full journey! π₯ Don't forget to hit that Like button, share this video with your car-loving buddies, and subscribe to our channel for more exciting motor talks!
