Not to be intrusive but what symptoms did the car have that concerned you?

Now, there was a spark plug adapter in a 50 dollar compression test kit but the hex nut on it will never fit in the spark plug tube! I guess...
So I'm planning to do a cooling system pressure test and an engine compression test to try to help pinpoint the Prius problem. Of course the plugs...
I'm thinking I can probably convince Felpro to give me new gasket and bolts. Felpro said however that the 3 layer metal gaskets don't have the...
I'm reading about oil coolers and that sometimes coolant can get into oil if the oil is cooled by engine coolant.
