Not really a fan of green color, but that just has a look that I have to salute.
Just going to throw in there the Gen 4 block Gen 3 head swap I did never overheated. Possibly due to NOT having to reroute coolant lines required...
My wife and I have a 21 Escape Hybrid, and it’s very obvious when she has driven it. The avg mpg is way down compared to when I have driven it....
Was the new water pump an OE, or the local parts store off the shelf item?
I’ve noticed that mine doesn’t react at times that it should as well. Especially when driving into direct sunlight. If the camera can’t see it,...
I have a 21 Escape with intelligent cruise control. I have played around with it under various conditions both in town and on the highway. As long...
I was looking for a Toyota hybrid, but they have insane markups in my area. The Ford hybrids, not so much. I got a 21 Escape SE Hybrid AWD 1-27....
One month in on the Escape. Getting 47+mpg in town. 42+mpg hwy on half bald tires. New Michelin tires today. I guess we will see.
Back in a hybrid this weekend. Could not find a Toyota hybrid not insanely marked up in my area. 21 Escape not the PHEV. Loving it.

The Gen 3 head gasket set that I had purchased was the set that I used to perform my swap.
The Facebook Prius groups that I am a member of call me crazy when I recommend an “engine out” approach to resealing or reinstalling the timing...

If I ever find myself owning another Gen 3, that’s exactly what I will do, use the Gen 3 head on a Gen 4 block. Except I’ll remember to make sure...
I had my catch can bolted to the engine block under the manifold. There was a couple of extra casting holes there. I think the engine heat helped...
The 26R “used to be” the universal replacement for a top post battery that had failed. Looks like it still has a place on the list at least. LoL
Even my “bad” 2010 I had to Gen 4 swap the block on was better then many of the so called “good” cars I had owned prior. LoL
