You use the dollar bill because the car is susceptible to bribery and will tell you what is wrong

How is he “your mechanic” when you let five other shops touch it first? 🤔

Funny, I'm 68 and I just showed someone that...sure enough it has a stuck exhaust valve. Reason why we use a dollar bill, or any bill, wasn't to show off. The material bills are made of are extremely strong and very flexible.

Old school… It works, but it will also do that on a good running engine most of the time

My grandpa would have dozens of people randomly pull up to his house so he could listen to their cars. I’d trust that mechanic with my life 😂

do basically it should blow out only but the fact that it's going back and forth flapping indicates there is a leak. correct?

This dollar bill trick can tell you a lot about a car. It can tell you if it’s mechanical or electrical also you gotta do some further testing, but I see this on a lot of vehicles that are meant to be ran with mid grade or better. They will get a buildup of carbon around the valve . The customer will try everything a tuneup new ignition coils etc but most of the time a simple fuel injection treatment or running, Startron, which I prefer will take care of the problem in a short bit of time
