Also a possibility. All there is to do is wait.

The fact that Trump is bad doesn’t make Hillary good. Nobody in the 2016 presidential election was a very presidential candidate for the presidency.  I don’t know if you know The Hunger Games, but 2016 was Snow vs. Coin

Trump thinks he’s awesome, which leads me to believe his people colluded, but didn’t tell him about it. That way he could go on believing he’s awesome all on his own and nobody would get fired for making him feel unawesome. Also, potentially, plausible deniability.

Sounds like a software update to implement error checking using BOTH sensors, and possibly installation of updated sensors. I love a good recall.

My daughter saw her first opthalmologist at 2 days old. She was born with a tiny filament of skin holding her left eyelid mostly closed, and her iris’ were covered in vasculature that gave them a red appearance, which led us both to a pediatric opthalmologist at Helen Devos childrens hospital, and then a pediatric…

That’s not what I was suggesting. I was suggesting that the galleries break off from one another. The cam journals feed from the cylinder head side, obviously, and at or near the point where oil goes up to the journal, it would also go down to the main journal. Usually straight, because you cant drill an oil gallery…

Also, it seems to be #4 most commonly, so I’d say that it’s probably the sealer from one of the rear caps on the right head (the middle caps don’t get sealer).

Because the VCT system probably gets priority oiling to ensure there’s always enough pressure to operate it. Some unset sealer gets washed downstream (as it were) in the circuit, and before you know it, you have a main, bearing with a restricted oil supply, which means you also have a rod bearing with a restricted oil…

I think that if I were Subaru, I would change this recall to a cylinder head exchange program, installing complete heads and returning the take-offs. The sealer beads are applied at the factory by a robot, and I’m pretty sure that the increase in part cost would be offset by the reduction in labor time.

The service manual explicitly warns that misplacement of the three-bond sealer will cause the engine to seize.  The images provided as a guide for placement and sizing of the sealer bead are extremely specific in both placement and diameter. Sounds like this is easy to fuck up.

20 year ASE Master L1, here. Subaru is concerned about silicone closing oil feeds in the cylinder heads during the torquing of the cylinder head top half (they have a sort of girdle). If the bead is improperly placed, the bead will squish into the feeds. Alternatively, leftover rtv may end up in the oil grooves of the…

You have RHD shields in your low beam projectors, which rise to the left (into the eyes of oncoming drivers), whereas LHD projector cutoff shields rise to the right . This is a JDM thing and can’t be cured easily, but with courage and fortitude, others have swapped LHD Acura TSX projectors (and run D2S HID) into the…

I also happen to be from Grand Rapids. Good to hear from you.

I’m a pro mechanic from Michigan and I recently traveled to New York and New Jersey. I have questions, so many questions, about shops there. First, why does every shop that doesn’t sell new cars (dealers) look like a fenced-in junkyard? The brick facing is damaged and eroded, there are piles of scrap parts, salvage…

Yeah, Cadillacs are like that super hot chick you took to senior prom and then married, only to have her get boring and gain 300 pounds. Caddies are great when they’re new, but once you hit the end of the warranty, ditch the bitch and move on. BMW’s are exactly the same way (but for a lot more money). There are a lot…

Some guys like being punched in the sack by chicks in leather, and I suspect these are the guys buying rusty Jeeps. Pleasure from pain, it’s a Jeep thing you wouldn’t understand.

Super self-righteous animal lovers are still going to call the cops and break your windows. People are too stupid to reasonably assess a situation before reacting to it based on their own preconceived ideas. If Tesla rolls this out, they should be prepared to reimburse Tesla owners for their broken windows and court…

Headline adjustment: This is the Edsel, never before a car like it, and hopefully never again.

ME: The preset buttons on my radio are useful, maybe preset buttons for my OTHER adjustable vehicle parameters would be useful, too.

I guess I’m a bit of an oil snob, but I wouldn’t touch Mobil 1 with a 10 foot pole. I’ll just stick to Amsoil XL 5w20 for the wife’s car and Liqui-Moly 5w40 in my 1.8T Jetta.
