GOD DAMN THE EFFORT THO!
You fabricated an entire obd error, photoshopped the manual and even made an animation. This is April fools hollowood style. Great job, dude!

[austina]

Who else thought "what the hell are piston return springs??" But still almost started to believe him just because he's ChrisFix😂

[BloodMaster]

Man... For us non-car guys this seemed legit... At least got my dose of entertainment!

[y_not]

Man, his enthusiasm makes you feel like you can do anything

[niktob]

I know enough about engines, to know, there are no such things as engine return springs but the way you explained everything made me actually believe that could be an issue

[CalebFaulkner]

This is the highest quality april fools joke I've ever seen. Well done!

[notbuyingit]

I just did a set of the piston return springs on my Tesla

The part that I love about CrisFix is that even tho he fools newbies, he does actually still teach people. Like we learned how to properly take off a head block and replace all of your engine gaskets, plus he taught you how to properly change your oil and top of your rad. Like can you even be mad about the return springs? What an informative video

[calyncutler]

This dude went so far as to modify the whole owners manual and obd2 scanner app. Im shook

Return springs are so old school. Most the newer cars go with a hydraulic return system.

[garycroson]

Thanks for this video, my mechanic wanted $3000 to fix the springs

[jamesonthecouch]

I’m a retired automotive mechanic and this is pure gold entertainment. Thanks this made my day 😂genius

With this video, ChrisFix literally just made a head gasket leak feel like a flat tire.

[uravggamer]

The fact that Chris can find a way to make a video not only interesting, but realistic at the same time, while replacing the head gasket the Honda needed is amazing. He even faked an obd2 scan and the owners manual too!

[hyfyre]

Chris your knowledge and wisdom of cars is very impressive. Your helping a lot of people attempt things they most likely would never even consider. You have a very solid mindset and attitude. God bless you!

[tylerburns]

Dude, I legitimately took notes since I'm trying to learn. Wrote down a whole page worth of notes on how to take them out and replace them. Rewatching this after taking notes a few days prior. Good job on the prank. Had me arguing with a certified mechanic trying to convince him of their existence 😂

[TheProgrammerify]

Its scary how much detail you put into this...

[tenuksdnbhd]

I'm amazed at the effort you take to make this believable.... Phone apps, owner manual, custom packaged spring etc 😂😂😂

[adamjones]

Just fitted new piston return springs to my cuminins 6bta, doubled the bhp! Amazing! Seems like the engine is bouncing around a bit more than usual now tho, probably highlighted the worn piston con rod shock absorbers. Thanks so much, life changing!
