Separate names with a comma.
Just in case, your parts list didn't mention head bolts (but could have been included under "etc")... The head bolts are torque-to-yield and are...
Rocauto also has this wrong: "Use the 8mm on models up to 2006, and the 10mm on models 2007 to current", at least when it comes to Prius.
Yep, Performance Tool W83184 is correct. And yep Rockauto has it incorrectly described as "triple square".
I have had my 2009 about 60k miles and I'm not aware of any overheating during my ownership. (Only unusual engine issue I had was intermittent...
The head bolt socket is NOT triple-square nor XZN. It is dual hex aka bi-hex size 8mm and you need one that is longer than a typical bit....
I relatively recently replaced the gasket on a 2009 and I FAILED (coolant still leaks into oil). One thing I would do differently is take the head...
Have you seen if other Gen 2 over there are like that? Seems like a very obvious and thus odd mistake... On my 2009 it looks like an engineer was...
Out of curiosity, has anyone for example heard a story of someone replacing the head gasket only to find out that the pipe plug in the head had...
It's purely a theoretical question (not about my specific sample) just to confirm that the "list of 5" contains all the areas where oil and...
Come on now, this isn't supposed to be a hard question. And NO, I'm not looking to "ambush" anyone by bringing up possibility 6) after they say...
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...
Right, but all the slack is taken up within a first few degrees of crank rotation and by that time the engine rotating assembly (because it has...
Starting from rest, any possible slack in the timing chain will be completely tightened within the first few degrees of engine/crank rotation and...
You sound like a smart guy, but post some odd replies, at leat from time to time, in this case completely missing the question. The question is:...
I would not call the chain in a high mileage motor "fragile" if it withstands engine operation. Any slack left in the chain by hand turning would...
Yeah, maybe leather.
