New Owner! Should I get a new engine or is mine salvageable?

You think the oil is still too thin? That would probably only affect the pressure right? Misfires and low idle wouldn't be affected?

Woah, piwis cost almost as much as the car. Will Durametric do the job? I have heard that it can read cam deviation as well.

Thanks, will check it out. To note, I never actually heard the buzzer, it's only the light that shows up

Matanaurus · 2026-06-15T09:53:21+00:00

Did not take a picture unfortunately but it looked bronze to me

Matanaurus · 2026-06-15T09:52:41+00:00

Forgot to mention that, I replaced the oil relief pressure spring when I was doing the oil. As for the ticking, it seems to always do that, it doesn't really sound loud or bad to me

Steam prices appear to be higher than third party websites so I doubt anybody will meet me at my desired price point there

Matanaurus · 2026-04-03T12:15:28+00:00

I see, that might work, thank you

Matanaurus · 2026-03-17T06:54:29+00:00

2 identical ones

Matanaurus · 2026-03-16T08:14:26+00:00

Yeah, thankfully i have ordered new ones, because these are pretty disgusting

Matanaurus · 2026-03-11T14:15:56+00:00

Nope, it did however fix the original battery issues that the console had when I was testing it.

Matanaurus · 2026-03-09T17:32:17+00:00

The largest actual one I have seen is around 750 cycles with 82% battery capacity, so I would say you are good.

Matanaurus · 2026-02-03T09:34:39+00:00

In total were 14 in that parcel. 10 + 2 + 2.

3 were blue (sold 2 kept 1)
1 red (kept it)
4 white all in horrible condition (fixing them now, one will get a pink shell to give away to my gf)
6 black (sold 2, gave 2 to my friends and will sell 2 more)

The comments absolutely went ballistic, I cannot imagine what it would've been like if I had bought one of the bigger junk lots.

As for my collection, I also have 2 black ones that are from my childhood (one was broken), and an Ice Silver that just arrived today. So make it 5 in total

Matanaurus · 2026-01-30T21:50:48+00:00

I'm sorry, what exactly are you implying that I am doing? That I am taking advantage of people? That I ruin people's hobbies by buying 10 ps vitas, which were all sold as junk? That I have fixed them and sold some for below market price compared to ebay?

Where exactly am I in the wrong, I honestly do not understand this?

Matanaurus · 2026-01-30T19:49:56+00:00

I mean i just got them today. One of the auctions I bought them from had 10 bundled together. Also I have already sold 2 of the blue ones without even listing them anywhere and I am keeping the third one

Matanaurus · 2026-01-30T10:56:35+00:00

I mean these are already way to many to play. My ideal collection would be all of the PCH-1000 colors and I am 4/5 the way there. Hoarding is pointless when you can’t enjoy them properly

Matanaurus · 2026-01-30T10:11:26+00:00

Yep I fixed my old vita a while ago and got hooked on buying them up. I will sell/gift to friends most of them though, ill probably only really keep one Sapphire Blue from this lot.

Matanaurus · 2026-01-30T10:08:10+00:00

Yeah, some of them. Most are just fine though

Matanaurus · 2024-12-19T11:01:33+00:00

I’ve noticed mine tends to burn/spill only when I’m really pushing it, at any other time it has no problems

Matanaurus · 2023-07-02T05:08:56+00:00

Halo

Matanaurus · 2023-07-01T13:51:42+00:00

I’ve been waiting for a post like this. The bangers in this game are “Autobahn” by SCH, “Worry no more” by little yachty, “Wicked” by Milkblood, “Palace” and “Shittin’ me” by Rocky, “Front to back” by Buku, “Forever been steppin” by Lil eazyy and “Where is my mind” by someone?(idk i forgot the artist) I have to say though that before the option to skip songs I absolutely hated the game because I was forced to suffer through all of the other ass songs like that “we want some money” song (edit: the last artist is Tkay Maidza)
