OK, that just pisses me off. I had to pay $100 more for a liftgate pickup, and then they don't even send the right truck? That is wrong on so...
FedEx terminal pick-up was a cinch. The only screwup on my part is that I should have dumped my trailer and just stuck with the van. FedEx has...
Exactly, that is what I was attempting to say on both counts... Wear would be exacerbated by a dirty environment too, and I was generally pretty...
Unfortunately, I don't have a vehicle capable of trailering that load.
I haven't seen that comment, but I have thought about the timing chain before. It is not possible for me to check its length very well without...
No, I put those on, not the machine shop. A mechanic popped the cover off about 2000 miles ago for a look see when I was having the misfire...
yeah, that is what I have, or had. When I originally did the head job, I am 100% sure all the caps were there. I can't concretely say that they...
TOP picture is what I have on my bad boy right now. Please don't tell me I just spent $3K on reversed rockers! Very nice, clean, photos, by the...
I know what you are talking about, I think, and I keep forgetting about them.... There are, indeed, caps on top of the valve stems. However, I'm...
Yeah, I pulled the plugs and didn't see any issues with them (did not otherwise check them though). There was no evidence of steam cleaning, which...
Hybrid PitStop it is.... I just ordered the engine. With luck, it will fix all of the car's woes. I checked the OCV solenoid and it actuates...
True... But having to deal with a dead HV battery as a result of my having poorly managed my engine issues would be rubbing salt into the wound
OK.... that wasn't fun but it had to be done! I temporarily moved the HV battery of my dead V over to my live V so that I could give it a charge....
Interesting... thanks for the detailed rationale. FWIW, my HG failed at 103K. I changed the oil pretty regularly (but on mileage, not time)....
I'm good with the mileage part.... I'm NOT good with the 6 months though. :-(. Mea Culpa there. So... Education opportunity here... How is the...
darn.... I bought the second V as a 2014 (post S/N) because I thought it had a substantially improved engine. It looks like this is just the...
yep.... There certainly is no harm in taking something apart that is toast though. Oh, I forgot to mention that all of the plugs look normal....
I'm bending towards the 'replace' option right now, but I'm not quite done researching. Frankly, the one thing that baffles the hell out of me is...
Yeah, checking the harmonic dampener is on the list, but I have to be careful. I don't want to over tax my HV battery now that I know it is kind...
I think the thing that bothers me is that I can put the rockers *back* in place without a lot of effort (or remove others). Yet, I don't see the...
