Separate names with a comma.
Typically, coolant will leak into the cylinder(s) when the engine is off. During start up, the engine will attempt to burn off this coolant (and...
Let us know if he needs help. There are a few of us on this site, including myself, who have done the repair.
$30k for 177k of trouble-free miles is 17 cents a mile. Not a terrible number by any means. Every car has its useful life. Typically, 150K-200K...
Do you check the oil level on a regular basis? Does the engine consume oil?
What is your long-term plan? Another engine? Another car?

Yes, and I am well aware of how they look. Not all of them are clogged. It really depends on the driving conditions that the vehicle was subjected...
That is strictly your opinion (and maybe a few others). Besides, the head gasket is already blown. Let’s focus on getting the OP back on the...
You have 3 options: 1) replace the head gasket (which should also include resurfacing the cylinder head and new valve stem seals). If the engine...
Does it matter?
There seems to be some “debate” on how it should be described. I have the “10mm” assenmacher socket (ASSS3054X-10) and it was clearly too small.
If the Head Gasket was recently replaced and done properly, you should see new gaskets on the cylinder head, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and...
Thanks. I finally got around to ordering the correct socket today: 1/2" Drive Metric 10 mm Lexus®/Toyota® Double Hex Socket Driver Since...
A single cylinder misfire will never be caused by a fault air/fuel sensor. A faulty air fuel sensor would affect the entire bank. Use an...
After the car is sitting for a while, remove the spark plug for cyl #2. You will likely find coolant to be pooled on top of the piston. More info...
An EGR should never cause a single cylinder misfire, especially #3.
Find a way to test the injector for #3. An injector balance test is one method to try. But on this engine it is probably easier (and quicker) to...
If that is the case and you really intend to keep the car, I would go all out and do the Gen4 swap or the new Gen3 short block.
How long do you plan to keep the car? Realistically you will probably get another 50-75k before the next big ticket item - the battery. At that...
At this point it is reasonably safe to guess that you have a failed head gasket. Do you have oil consumption? If not, I would just replace the...
