Ahh so you're still waiting for the "I told you so" about the cheapo coils and plugs? You can have it in a year, but by that time I'll have...
Good advice thanks. Conpression was 120psi across all 4 cylinders. Did the test dry and didn't bother with wet test because I think its within...
Probably a good thing I was skeptical of that great advice in hindsight tho, right? I could be out there swearing into the gloom and breaking off...
GPT for the win. It all makes sense, but again I doubt a clogged EGR is the root cause of blown heads. If your rings are leaky, that's 100x worse...
Uhhh, "blown head gaskets" keep them in business... :cautious: Right, PCV gasses contain more oil than EGR. But if the engine is burning oil,...
100%, I came to the forum for expert opinions. People who work on these cars all day, have studied the specs, and have rebuilt the engines will...
I'm trying to be humble, but I took a lot of flak on this thread. One guy told me my head is blown when it wasn't and sarcastically suggested I...
Maybe I wasn't clear, in my opinion that cooler will be constantly blackened up, but it should work fine if exhaust passes thru freely. Reading...
Agree about hydrolocking. Do you think the EGR cooler is the source of blockage? Its upstream from the valve, so I'd argue it's less important....
Not sure why you're so sure. Maybe you can explain to me why my engine rattled at cold start but it doesn't anymore after a thorough cleaning and...
It makes sense, but I'm not convinced this is always the cause of the rattle!
Good plan. EGR is kinda... fun... Access is poor and the bolt and bracket design is wack. Don't even try it without pulling the wipers and top...
Nice one, thanks! I'm surprised that a bare connector would just float around the engine bay without a terminator if its for an option I don't...
Well the head gasket doesn't rattle, the rattle is caused by the ICE running sub-optimally, which creates vibration in the Torque Limiting Clutch...
Also one last thing: this engine uses the Atkinson cycle (rather than the normal Otto Cycle in ICEs). Atkinson cycle - Wikipedia Basically the...
Welcome to the thread. What year Prius do you have, and do you have the 1.8L 2ZR-FXE+3JM engine? My understanding is that the head gasket design...
2015 Prius 1.8 So I found an electrical connector that is not plugged in under the hood. It has very little slack and I don't see anything nearby...
Had the car 2 weeks. Its been driven 3 miles. Cylinders do look somewhat different, 1 and 4 are clean, 2 has some debris in it, and 3 looks...
Generally when people post to automotive forums they are looking for help. I'm all for jokes about blown engines, but I actually want to get...
Video of a cold start: [MEDIA] I ran the head gasket tester on the coolant reservoir. No temp gauge on dash so I may need to pull it up on a scan...
