Now for an answer to a question I dont want to hear, do I have to remove the head to reseal the timing cover?
Thank you, more or less I was asking if this is where the mess "usually comes from". I have the cowls removed right now so easy access.
I left it pressurized and started installing parts. New manifold is in, sensor was cleaned, new gaskets, EGR. I am not seeing a drop of anything...
Whats going on here? Ill probably put some UV dye in the oil and see where its coming from.
Sorry I forgot to mention if removing the EGR cooler caused enough coolant to be removed to hinder the coolant pressure test?
This is looking more like an EGR problem and less a blown head gasket, unless the leak is only present under heat soak cycles.
Spark plug conditions for those curious. Left to right 1-4
Ok so Ive added a ziptie and it seems to hold at 16PSI which is from what ive tead the test pressure. Ill just keep monitoring and add pressure as...

Ive given it 10 PSI and I held it for about 1minute...not as long as wanted but because the tester I got has no cap adapter for the Prius....not...
Time to get serious. [ATTACH]
Cool little block off plate? Ive heard on the forums here bypassing or blocking this would have disastrous consequences?
For reference, non-OEM. The last one is the inside of my dirty EGR port on the OEM manifold. They look to be the same. Volumetric efficiency is...
[ATTACH] Would this work? Harbor Freight. $129 but its a tool, so I wont feel bad throwing money on it.
I wont be using the vehicle until Ive diagnosed the problem . I have to be absolutely sure its not the HG first. When I was able to consistently...
Im going to do some measurements on the OE and this one in the mail today. Ill post results if I remember. Im going to scope into the inside to...
Sorry for all the questions and theories, I just want to learn. Im not trying to defy logic here just trying to make sense of everything. I have a...
My scope does have a 90 degree spring I can attach but sadly it will not clear the plug hole with said configuration...
