Separate names with a comma.
Surely many here know? Are these the only places on a (Gen 2) prius where coolant and oil can mix? 1) Head gasket 2) Timing chain cover (RTV...
No worries. I was just saying that the engine can't "fire up and break the slacking chain" because first it has to rotate enough to compress an...
Luckily that's not a complicated situation, nor a complicated explanation.
Not going to lie, I did the exact same thing after setting cam timing. I'm only explaining that because of the way laws of physics work, it does...
This. It's not uncommon for people to forget that when reinstalling it, you must first rotate the "handle" and after that slide it. Lots of people...

Easy to turn by hand, most of the resistance will be from the valve springs. If the timing chain has been removed, it really spins like a sewing...
I'll simplify the question: The only places where coolant can enter oil are: 1) Head gasket 2) Timing chain cover (RTV seal or damaged cover)....
Tons of people around you in traffic are running a 10+ year old belts without a worry in the world. April 2024? You”ll be fine. Maybe ignore this...
Just to be 100% sure, the only places where coolant could enter oil are: 1) Head gasket to the 3 oil return channels in the block. 2) Head...

Eh, I made a dumb joke earlier and didn't realize that apparently edit is available for only a limited time?
Ever had or seen a cracked Gen 2 head? A cracked Gen 2 block? If yes, where was the crack located? Any ideas on the cause? Thanks!
