The Van girl

At least we should read the book before watching the film, which usually deviates from the story for 'dramatic' purposes.

Like when they invented the side plot of the isolated lighthouse for the film of The Day of the Triffids!

Warm day, clean smooth floor..... I did a 1966 Ford oil pump in the yard in a blizzard while a flu was setting in. I still feel it in my bones.

Yes, the pan won't come off. Last time I started prepared to lift the engine (like we now do on most FWD cars), had it hard against the tranny tunnel before the pan would slip out.

Someone should tell her (too late) that you never drop pan on a 289/302 without doing the oil pump too-- that what SB Fords die of. (The less-small 351W has a much beefier oil pump which will chew oil-clots.)

At 2:41 "...unbolt the drainplug..." ??? who says "unbolt"??? , I'm guessing her boyfriend is coaching her as best possible...& no, taking your valve-cover fill cap won't make a bit of difference for draining the oil...that's a "breather" type cap, it allows blowby gasses to escape into the atmosphere....see that nipple on the cap?, it's suppose to have a hose on it to direct those said gasses back into an air-cleaner . Whoever "taught" her mechanics is way way too much a newbie.
I'm guessing her BF said she might make some monies by shooting videos of her working on cars & showing some skin...pathetic really.
Last major job I did was having my brother-in-laws Ford pickup, putting a new clutch in...balancing a tranny on my chest & dead lifting it up to stab it in...

Wellcome to 21st century! That was a video on a sharing ideeas platform we created here called Youtube that girls can access too to learn how to "unbolt screws"! You can use it yourself to learn how to avoid unnecessary risks .
As you might not know she was known on other media platforms before youtube where she tells she's studiyng avionics and she holds a Pilot licence too.
I've heard that in the 19th century, some men needed an older brother to learn how to f...Can somebody more in touch with the weather then confirm that?

It was also a practice to send a young man to an experienced courtesan for his first time in some cultures.

But that would start a whole new thread, not particularly relevant here.
Google and their competitors are a big help, use a private browser if your local laws prevent such searches.
 
Honestly, if you have the dedication, time and the right internet speed which some countries still don't unfortunately, you can probably learn litterally anything the world have ever done on youtube...Saying a girl can't do this or that is just something that gets challenged day by day and some wrench can help her too where her natural foce can't .A woman may not have the force for some actions due to evolutionary resons , may not be the best for many things many men do easily, but not all men are created equal either...I remember 19 years ago working briefly in a printing factory and one machine had two bolts that once screwed set the paper size and if there was one particular guy using that machine before me , I had to ask him politely to unscrew the bolts before i get to work there.The guy used to move 90kg of paper banks like nothing all the day long...
Imagine you make case of your physical powers in front of a woman and a Neanderthal man is looking at you...
It's quite hilarious for a species that evolved from a monkey no bigger than a cimpanzee to create significant divisions amongst its members based off physical strength .... In my country there was a very powerful stunt man once that worked at the circus as well and one day a lion escaped from his cage into a larger space surrounded by a mobile metal fence.He thought he'd be able to hold the lion in place if he'd keep his tail with his arms through one section of the fence and the lion, obviously dragged him and the fence and another 6 guys proping the mobile fence then turned against the fence and the guy and the other 6 guys proping the fence got under it with the lion on top...Fortunately the lion was well fed....
