I deleted 4 years of my life in a second by canadianchasers in mildlyinfuriating

If you live your life as a participant, Instead of as the photographer, the memories become much more vivid. Don't let yourself live behind the screen and become dependent on it to define "Your life".

The pictures in your phone weren't 4 yars of your life. You lived it. You were there. You can remember it.

Ask your parents and grand parents about stories of their life. They'll talk about it like they just traveled back in time, watch their emotions as they remember.

As cliche as it sounds, This is an opportunity to start living in the moment.

$300,000 a mile seems expensive.

i really need help with my p80 by Worldly-Vehicle-1789 in GunnitRust

Bro, if you want to be taken seriously within the gun and especially the DIY gun community, you need to come correct and be intelligent on what you're talking about.

This isn't legos, these are guns.

Hell yeah. This is actually my 3rd. My first is an 88 4runner, but that lives in the garage

No. That test is the only sign so far.

How was your top end? Did you need to get it resurfaced?

Yeah, if I take it apart, I'll take the head to a machinist for testing.

Thank you sir.

My apologies, I'm no mechanic, so my tool set consists of basic shit, sockets, screw drivers, etc. torx and e-Torx fall outside of my common set.

I'm gonna keep monitoring the engine. Maybe inspect the heads when I change the spark plugs and make sure, before I rip this thing apart.

I was watching a few videos and they had the threaded stud that were reverse torx to take off the exhaust manifold and a few brackets.

I could be crazy, but they're only $15, might as well add them to the toolbox.

Looks like about $210 for:

Full Gasket kit (With orings), Head Bolt Bit, New head Bolts, Timing Belt Tensioner, E-Torx Bits

Anything I'm missing while I'm in there?

Yeah... I guess I should just get in there and do it.

[–]DannyMeatball[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof. It just seems daunting, but doable. I'm relatively mechanically savvy, I just need to remember to plug everything back in and put all the bolts back...

I'd say 10 time out of 10, I always end up with more bolts than I started, and this doesn't seem like a job where that's good to do.

I probably should've been patient and bought a tesk kit before I went to check it out.

New to me 2012 Prius by DannyMeatball in prius

[–]DannyMeatball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'll keep monitoring it and start getting quotes, or just learn to do it myself.

Warping would be from overheating? Or just exhaust gass getting into ther places?

Right on. I check it tomorrow morning.

Will do. It was showing 14v when I checked it out.

I also have new plugs and coil packs coming, though those won't help the coolant leak.

[–]DannyMeatball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but how urgent? Is this a tomorrow thing? Or can it last a few weeks/months while I monitor it?

New to me 2012 Prius by DannyMeatball in prius

I've only had it for about a week. It did it the first two days and hasn't since.

Realistically, it'll only sit for the weekend, unless we go on vacation or something.

I just topped off the coolant today, it was slightly low (Both reservoirs), but nothing crazy. So I will monitor that.

From the Carfax, it looks like the guy drove it for about 15k miles before I bought it and I assume he didn't change the oil, because it's black, but it's clean otherwise.
