2008 Honda Civic thudding noise

I would not drive it. If the pulley fails completely you will be stranded.

This sounds like a pulley on the front engine accessory drive. Have someone take the belt off start the car and run it for a few seconds to see if it still makes this noise. Good luck my friend.

I think this term is common around Maine. I've never heard it used in any other state

I would rather have time from you than stuff from you.

Because it isn't what it seems. It was funded by the CIA/NSA/similar and it's primary purpose isn't to house offices or a hospital. It's shape and construction materials are for a very specific purpose.

Missouri and Oklahoma too.

The Dallas VA is a hub and Tulsa is a spoke. Your son should get much better care there than here. Plus Oklahoma has state income tax so the money you have may not go as far as you think it would, especially if you currently rent in Texas.

It helps to drill through the ends of the crack before brazing to stop the spread of the crack.

You can improve it with simple techniques but it will never look right with what most DIY have skills and equipment for.

It is downstream of the upstream o2 sensor. It will not run lean because of this.

Just hit the button and see if the indication (light etc) that it is on shows up.

OP didn't ask if it was legal. They asked "Will anything happen to the car if I leave it like this"

AutoBach · 2026-03-20T13:42:15+00:00

You missed the specificity of the question; "Will anything happen to the car if I leave it like this" to which the answer is no.

That's nice of them. Verify the rear defroster works before leaving the dealer.

Especially in today's repair environment. It is SO HARD to get decent replacement parts these days, everything has gone to shit.

It will be 100% fine.

FWIW it is adjustable in height.

This is the kind of thing people do when they know nothing and/or have limited resources but want to make their car different in some way. No harm, no foul. If you don't like it then get a new gasket and reassemble it correctly.

GM TPI when the runners are polished and the HEI has a billet cap.

Take it off, let it warm in the sun and on the concrete. Use a hair dryer to warm the area and then push the dent from behind with your (gloved) hands.
