do these rings sit on the block and i will have to glue them or something? Because in the picture I posted there clearly is no grooves for the...
in the gasket master video, they clearly are in a piece that is an extension of the short block. I checked the oil filter housing and didnt...
They don't look as bad in person, but even if they are, I'm not replacing the short block. I would purchase a different car. Are you saying the...
Well I'm about to start reassembly but ran into some issues with O-rings/gaskets. My first question is: I have a VIN number which starts with...
Here is where I am at. I cleaned the pistons heads: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I was confused. I had a misconception on how coolant enters a cylinder. I thought some may have been pooling at the bottom below the piston head...
No they did not. I did clean the piston heads myself because I wanted to, but initially the carbon was consistent on all piston heads.
UPDATE: I have the head off!!! The gasket didn't look in too terrible of shape but there did appear to be some coolant. What is odd is that...
UPDATE: I have the valve cover off. Not too much left to go until I get to the head gasket. Won't be able to work on my car again until middle...
Thanks everybody!

Where are the intake valves located in the generation 3 Prius? If these are carbon fouled/stuck/need cleaning, could that cause engine shaking?...
Leakdown test and compression test are the same thing correct? Any good resources on how to do this? I rented a compression test from Autozone...
When I pulled sparkplug #1 and sparkplug #3 (both are new) there seemed to be some minor differences. Oil seems to be climbing higher on...
Update: I used borescope to check Cylinder/piston # 3 to see if it has been "cleaned/steamed cleaned". I checked this against cylinder/piston...
I get, I simply dont have the money to replace the entire engine. If I can get another year or two out of her, I will be happy with that. I did...
Mendel, I appreciate you taking the time and digging this up for me. You seem like a very intelligent person and are a pillar to this Priuschat...
Misfires are still present, even after changing coil positions, they remain in cylinder 3. I am not loosing coolant or at least not a rapid rate.
I don't believe I am losing coolant, at least not at a rapid rate. And yes I did clean the EGR system. So I am (former) Uber driver. Lots of...
