Nah, it’s burned enough oil! :)
When I was checking fuel pressure, the gauge was bouncing oddly. I used my injector pulser on the injectors and all of them loudly rattled and...
FYI, it turns out I had an injector fail. I don't know why it was giving multiple misfire codes. Car is running like new. Hopefully with less oil...
Well, I failed. I can't get this thing to run. It has misfire codes for all cylinders. Compression is 125-135. I assume this is low because I...
I was tapping on a brass drift on the edges of the "dish" of the piston to push the rings around in their grooves with forces not encountered...
I decided to try the brass drift on #1. I hit it with a hammer a few times in all directions where there was lip on the piston. #1 has stopped...
Well, I have little to lose at this point, so I soaked #1 in the BG stuff and it turned the carbon into liquid and took a day to drain into the...

I found evil under the hood of my Camry too! [ATTACH]
Plot twist! Still getting divorced and separating assets, but living together. Car’s mileage has increased to 37.5 so far. Holding off on BG...
Thanks everyone. I’ll end my time here with this awesome picture of my EGR cooler flow test. [ATTACH]
Car runs much smoother now. Don't know that I'll ever see it again.
Well that job wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Yes, both of my hands are quite bloody, but no leftover fasteners so it must be done right. I also...
Pressure washer was the answer. Maybe after all the soaking and sonic cleaner loosened it up, but hardly any flow. 3500 PSI blew carbon crap all...
I drove mellow. My soon to be ex wife is full throttle or full brake. She did 95% of the driving. I have a gas pressure washer and oven cleaner....
Yes. A quart every 3500 miles. I just found my PCV blocked, but I had already ordered one, so it’s replaced. EGR cleaning is going very slow. It...
My apologies, I meant to put that in the post. I have edited it. 187,000 trouble free miles.
