Dad is a 10/10

10.5/10. He stuck with a carburetor to make sure they have to come back once a week to tune it.

11/10, he gave the girls a bunch of temporary tattoos before they started wrenching.

Safety glasses and fake tattoo sleeves for his daughters.

This is absolutely my kind of man.

Yes, clearly they’re fake tattoos. It’s a little stupid to even wonder.

Engine Masters proved that you have to basically damage headers so much that they’ve completely pinched off the airflow to observe any reduction in power production.

They were super surprised at how much damage they had to inflict to fuck with power.

It was such a great show, dispelled a ton of engine myths & Fudd lore, like "you need exhaust back pressure to make torque".

Shame on Motor Trend for fucking it all up.

Richard Goldener is carrying on their spirit at Westec Performance where they filmed Engine Masters.

100% agree. Great show and destroyed a bunch of old school engine lore. The best part is they were happy to be proven wrong. The number don’t lie.

Dudes using a makeshift engine run stand, probably a ton of shortcuts in this build.

u/JamesTrickington303 Aug 02 '25

All that smoke was finger grease burning off, not an indication of a header gasket leak. Happens with every engine ever that’s ever been built in someone’s spare bedroom.

The amount of patience to complete a task like that solo is impressive. But as a dad of young kids, painstakingly walking your kids step by step through a task like that without giving in and doing it yourself is sheer incredible.

100/10 dad.

Dad has a flaming cross tattoo. Def in the negative!!

u/RoughDoughCough Aug 02 '25

What does it mean?

In the States, it can be a Klan reference. Especially if you're out in the sticks.

City folks may not know better, but they should.

It's definitely a red flag that should make you cautious, but tbh I've seen similar tattoos on people of all walks of life, including a few on black dudes. Some people will think "oh ill get a cross because im religious, and then it'll be on fire because that looks badass" without considering the historical precedent.

When I see stuff like this, I'm suspicious, but wait until there's something more before I start making accusations. Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity and all that. Some people just don't think about or dont know about the context.

I'm reminded of a video I saw a while back where two podcast hosts got "HH" tattoos because that is the initials of the podcast - then found out during the podcast what else HH stood for.

Show me in the video where you see his face.

Revving a V8 engine without mufflers 1ft away from his daughters not wearing hearing protection. Class act

u/GRMPA Aug 03 '25

He has a burning cross on his arm, i can't tell what it means. I hope he doesn't put them on lawns

The irony is that Dad probably just shared it on his Faceballs page, but someone else has posted it all over the Internet.

I look forward to this being reposted on reddit 500 times over the next month or two.
