Separate names with a comma.
Fortunately I just got my smog check done a couple months ago and I believe it's a 2-year inspection given the age of the vehicle (and if not...
Rats. If I'm reading this right it's a Techstream fix, which I don't have. Either that or it's "clear codes then run in maintenance mode for 15...
That could well be - I haven't come across a permanent code before on this car so I wouldn't know how Torque labels it. I do know it's not showing...
Torque has been extremely good about pending, current, and historical codes up to now so I'd be very surprised if it was confusing pending with...
In my experience, Torque shows "historical" pretty much exactly as you'd expect - there was a code thrown in the past, it's not currently...
I agree, but where? Not seeing any vacuum hoses at all, so where is there vacuum in this vehicle?
Got the car buttoned up and started driving, on the second trip I got a CEL, Torque shows it as historical P0441. Figured it was just weirdness...
Started, runs, drove around a tiny bit with no issues (need to top up oil and coolant as expected). No codes so far. Phew!
I'll find out today. Was waiting for the Permatex to dry and also ran out of light before I could get the dust cover and splash guard buttoned up....
Looking at it closely I realized there was no real need for panic - the valves and crankshaft were all very close to TDC, so I used the painted...
I had the idea of taking the chain off and using the paint marks to see if the cams were at least in alignment, but they were not. I'm guessing...
Was nearly buttoned up, found a 12mm bolt, thought perhaps it might be the timing chain guide. It wasn't but that's not currently important. I...
I can't possibly thank you enough. Here's hoping the place is open tomorrow so I can wrap up.
They're pretty rad. I've been leaning hard on the video @rjparker posted (download it - they set it private sometimes for unexplained reasons) and...
Fair warning to those contemplating this work: I was also unable to find locally (beyond the Toyota place full of sales schmucks which I detest)...
Wrapping up my head gasket job and realized I've lost the fancy washer that goes with the single 10mm bolt that goes into the valve cover gasket....
LOL yes I sure did. I also cranked the motor halfway and checked they were all at the same depth so either all 4 rods are bent evenly or none of...
Confirmed blown head gasket on cylinder 2 and took very careful measurements, found no difference in height between 2 and 3. Rods are straight....
Thanks! Wanna see a REALLY nice-looking photo? How about this: [IMG]
I've damn near got the head off now. I'll just measure depth once I'm done.
