Did the engine have any pre-existing issues prior to this repair? Is there any reason why you did not send the head to a machine shop for...
You’re right. That number should be a bit higher under 15 psi. I googled and 223F was the number I found, but it seemed a bit low for 50/50.
The only problem with this solution is that the coolant may boil. A 50/50 solution of antifreeze will not boil until 223F, but only if it is...
Fel-Pro ES72434. Rockauto has them for $40.79 + s/h; they’re most likely being shipped from a Parts Authority Warehouse.
Conceptually, this is similar to measuring rotors for disc thickness variation using a micrometer. In theory it can be done, but in practice, it...
They are all prone to headgasket and EGR issues, but the 2015+ are less likely to have oil consumption problems.
Not sure which "gauge" you are referring to. The easiest way to check for headgasket failure on these engines is to pressurize the cooling system...
Get a base model Camry with the 2.5L.
No headgasket repair is $100, you must be thinking about a valve cover gasket replacement. The labor time (book time) for the head gasket...
I would definitely find an engine from a 2015 with low mileage. Car-Part.com is another place you can try to search, or even eBay (look for LKQ...
You're forgetting fluids ($80-$100), machine shop costs ($200-$400) and spark plugs ($45-$70). The book time for this repair is 17-18 hours and...
The MAF sensor is located on the backside of the air intake tube. IIRC it uses phillips screws. Remove and clean if you desire, but I have never...
I would get a 2015 or newer. The 2ZR 1.8L engines (which is used in the 09+ Corolla/Matrix, 10-15 Prius, 12+ Prius v) are prone to oil...
The misfires, at least at this point, may be due to the MAF issue. Address the MAF fault before addressing the misfires. If you have access to a...
I replaced the head gasket in my 2011 last week so the image of a Prius engine is still fresh in my mind. In fact, there is a long thread about...
Sorry, but your explanation does not make any sense at all. There are sealing rings on the headgasket so the pistons have zero contact with the...
Not sure if I am following....? TTY bolts can only be re-torqued "accurately" if you fully loosen and re-tighten them. The head bolts in this...
There isn’t always a smoking gun to headgasket failures. Some gaskets are either inadequately designed for the application or have poor QC. Early...
Hey guys, The headgasket job was finished last Tuesday (3/5) and the car has been running great. When is our next meet?
