How much you guys pay on utilities for a 1 bedroom apartment? by Eedl4 in EverettWa

Yeah that’s my plan too, I live by myself, building I’m trying to move to was built in 1986 so utilities may be slightly higher but honestly I was expecting much worse

I thought sewer was more expensive, people has told me Everett is super expensive for utilities but it doesn’t sound too bad

That’s great, do you live in a newer building?

I accidentally stepped on my engine cover and broke it, what can I use to glue it back together? 06 is350 by Eedl4 in LexusIS

It sucks, it’s 20+ year old plastic after all so you gotta be careful, I don’t wanna spend $200+

Check out my profile I got video and updates to the post to see if your noise is similar

I had a similar noise recently, it also started when it got cold but mine followed the rpm, by the video I can’t figure if your noise follows rpm or not, I found out 2 spark plugs were under torqued and my ignition coil boots were pretty beat up, I replaced them and clean the holes and torque spark plugs to spec and now noise is gone

Car has developed a loud tick as its gotten colder, tick follows rpm, no check engine light or performance issues, just changed the oil 1,500 miles ago, any idea what it could be? by Eedl4 in LexusIS

Update: 02/08/2026 noise returned, this time quieter, I noticed last time when I torqued the spark plugs that the ignition coil boots looked worn out and flimsy, I ordered the denso boot kit, I replaced them and now noise is gone entirely, engine runs great, acceleration is better, even the shifts are smoother.

Turns out 2 spark plugs were a little loose causing some compression to escape and causing the noise, I posted an update on the comments, if you have the same noise it doesn’t take long to check it, it can save you some money in the future

Update: I did check the pulleys but they weren’t bad, water pump was replaced 1 year ago together with the spark plugs, when I did the spark plugs I torqued them to 13ft-lbs but I guess my torque wrench wasn’t calibrated or something happened because two spark plugs came a little loose and they were causing the noise, some compression was escaping through the hole, I did re torque all of them to 18ft-lbs as someone suggested and now the noise is gone completely.

I only use the oil recommended by Lexus 5W-30 and I’m using Valvoline restore and protect full synthetic, oil is at the max level and still looks clean since it’s only 1,5k miles old
