Separate names with a comma.
So what your implying is that the engine is not rebuildable, since most quality rebuilds include these machining operations. ...
Does waterless coolant have the same or better thermal conductivity as a 50-50 mix of ethylene glycol and water?
If there is a coolant leak into the cylinder(s), why wouldn't there be combustion gasses in the coolant? There's no check valve/one way flow in a...

You won't get detonation because the anti knock sensor prevents that.
If you block the EGR another CEL will be set for no flow and the computer will compensate for that too.
I'm hoping the long term use of top tier gas will negate the need to do any fuel system cleaning.
I think Mendel's position is that a functional EGR system is important for long head gasket life. I don't remember him ever saying anything about...
The EGR system is also dumping carbon back into the engine. I wonder what detrimental effects that has? Carbon buildup is not a good thing,...
The dude in the video pretty much said to follow Toyota's recommendations (10K miles but 5K miles for the conditions specified). but then goes on...
How does more frequent oil change affect carbon buildup? Carbon comes from the combustion of gasoline mostly and maybe a tiny amount from oil that...
Hmmm... Good point.
I was going to change my oil change interval to 5000 miles from 10,000, but that was based on opinions from some Prius Chatters with no data.
How about you stop the fearmongering when you don't have the facts to back it up? How many people have attempted cleaning the EGR system on an...
You're grasping at straws here.
I had a '73 Ford van where the EGR port was plugged. I left it that way. It ran fine and didn't blow a head gasket. This thread is a counter to...
Gasket Masters says he's seeing head gasket failures on high mileage Gen 4s. He made a short YouTube video about it.
At this many miles, I'd look for a rebuilt or low miles used engine. Replacing the head gasket on a worn engine is a bandaid fix.
My 2017 base model (Plus) has SiriusXM.
Sludge in engines is a non problem as long as you use detergent oil changed at the proper intervals.
