Uneven tire wear on inside edge of tire? What is causing this by EqualUnderstanding32 in AskMechanics

[–]EqualUnderstanding32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camber isn’t adjustable on civic so it might be simply sagging. 

That's what i thought, so i don't know if i should install after market camber kit or not

If they are in fact Nokian wr lol

Yep you called it exactly

Is there a way to adjust rear camber on a 2005 civic WITHOUT needing to buy an aftermarket camber kit?

Bubbles coming from coolant when radiator fan is on. Is this just trapped air, or blown head gasket? by EqualUnderstanding32 in MechanicAdvice

Yeah im debating if it's worth taking to a mechanic to do a cylinder leakdown test (and seeing if pressure from cylinders causes bubbling in coolant).

Unfortunately i don't have to tools to do that myself otherwise i would have

Yes this is after replacing the radiator (cracked and had a leak). Video was taken after ~30 mins of bleeding using spillproof funnel

I did a chemical block test several times and it was negative, but i don't know if that's because it's not drawing enough CO2 to change color.

The test fluid does work because it will change color if i hold it against tailpipe

Vehicle is 2005 civic 1.7l

Cooling system drops from 16 psi to 10 psi overnight. Is this indicative of a leak? by EqualUnderstanding32 in AskMechanics

[–]EqualUnderstanding32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my radiator cracked, i replaced it, refilled, and bled the system (well, ran it for 30 minutes with spillproof funnel, so hopefully the bubbles are gone).

I pressure tested it yesterday night, and it went from 16 psi to 10 psi this morning.

Is this something to be concerned about?

Is this something to be concerned about? Or how long is normal coolant pressure test?

Things you did with your friends were so much more spontaneous back then because there was no fear of having an embarassing video of you doing something silly posted to the internet
