Confirmed blown head gasket on cylinder 2 and took very careful measurements, found no difference in height between 2 and 3. Rods are straight....
Thanks! Wanna see a REALLY nice-looking photo? How about this: [IMG]
I've damn near got the head off now. I'll just measure depth once I'm done.
Cool. I did the camshaft lock trick so maybe I'll take that approach.
You all don't think I'm going to have a problem now that the timing chain is off?
Had to take a couple days off from working on the issue due to a heat wave, but got back at it today and I'm this far along - feel like this was...
I'm in Sonoma County. Right now I'm still tearing the motor down and need to measure piston depth before I even bother buying gaskets to torque...
Oh that lol. I guess you could use a protractor if you were totally anal about precision but honestly 90 and 45 degree turns are easy to visually...
Which part needs an angled torque wrench?
Argh. I wonder what gasketmasters charges for the swap. I can measure piston depth easily enough to see if the rods are hosed but I've never much...
The EGR cooler has never been changed or cleaned (frankly it's kind of a PITA to get at). I do plan to clean it when I tear the motor down, but am...
Thanks for the useful info! Followup questions: Alldatadiy definitely gives a lot more time for the money. For this particular job do you think...
Owned since 25k, used it for 5 years as rideshare in San Francisco (so, you know, nice easy driving without a lot of hills or anything). 2 days...
Finally got the thing off. While the approach TMR-JWAP offered would probably have worked well I didn't want to deal with the mess (I drained the...
Hi all, I could use some help. I'm following the the steps on the 1A Auto video I'll link below, but I can't for the life of me get the axle to...
I found the problem. Turns out when my phone is in the Qi charger mounted on the vent to the left of the steering wheel and I open then shut the...
Because in a car with 150,000 miles, any change of behavior is of concern.
Can you be more specific?
I am unable to reproduce the error. I deliberately left the hatch improperly shut, out the car in ready next, and had somebody get into and out of...
Oh my. I'm having a beer right now. The BEEP happens at the same moment as the key not detected warning appears so I figured it's just an...
