    As a mechanic, make sure to use BBQ paint for heat resistance.

      Nice try. You’re just trying to upsell, like those assholes who sold me the expensive blinker fluid when I found it much cheaper elsewhere.

      As an engineer, do not paint the pistons at all. If the paint stays on it adds resistance and if it doesn’t then it gums up the engine.

        Woosh.

        You wouldn’t even be able to get the pistons in the cylinder with a layer of paint on them.

          Not with that attitude! If it doesn’t fit get a bigger hammer!

            As a non-mechanic that watches various channels working on vehicle sin various states of use and repair… It seems that half of vehicle work seems to require hammers, and the other half a hammer should never be near. And knowing the difference is a mystical art form.

              Growing up I thought it was all giving as many uggas as you can dugga. I broke a lot of stuff learning a lot of it is only being as mean as you have to be. Except for suspension work. Suspension work requires pure hatred and a hammer.

                Large vehicle suspension components scare the living hell out of me. Seen too many videos online.

          If you say something sarcastic you have to annotate it, such as with a /s, because no matter how stupid you think a take is there are people who unironically hold that opinion. It’s called “Poe’s Law”.

              Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of the joke if you had to explain it?

              !Wait, wait, I’m joking! It’s a joke!! Stop rolling your eyes!<
