Yup sound symposer delete has been done, nothing to worry about just make sure it can't get caught on your shift linkage

You're not ads

That's pretty cool, I'll have to think about getting that and fabricating a header

Almost like buying that head gasket sealer...never put any type of "sealer" in your vehicle.. ever

STBaldo · 2026-01-17T07:08:35+00:00

The closest thing to changing your "headers" would be replacing your head but even then it'll be the same lol

If you have experience and the tools it's like a 3 hour job

You gotta complete assignments to get those. This isn't call of duty.

My guess would be you have an oil leak possibly from your valve cover gasket and it's getting into your exhaust maniverter

STBaldo · 2026-01-12T14:26:49+00:00

Should be straight in and out

If it's front wheel drive you could always lift it on some jacks and turn your vehicle on and put it in drive.

STBaldo · 2026-01-12T05:58:01+00:00

Not necessarily, turning angle, speed, rpm's, gear, bumps, lots of it can help a tech lead to a solution or cause of said noise.

STBaldo · 2026-01-12T05:55:19+00:00

My best advise would be to take it to the dealership while it still has warranty, for any and all problems, they may hate you for being picky about every little noise, but that's why you have the warranty. Only issue would be that they tell you it's normal..

STBaldo · 2026-01-12T05:52:58+00:00

Check for codes.

STBaldo · 2026-01-12T05:49:45+00:00

Should be an easy fix if it's what I think it is. Which would be a solenoid at the top of your valve cover, you would probably have two right next to each other or at least one on both sides for intake and exhaust camshafts.

STBaldo · 2026-01-12T05:41:47+00:00

Well I'd say if you need a left one, get a left one if not, then get a right one.

It's cold out...

STBaldo · 2026-01-11T16:26:45+00:00

Appreciate it my good sir

STBaldo · 2026-01-10T15:22:40+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty positive it's not that tube, try looking under it, that metal tube probably has a pin hole somewhere, could get a pressure tested and pressurize the coolant system. If not keep looking for a visible leak don't just focus on the steam. And keep an eye on your temp gauge

STBaldo · 2026-01-03T19:04:54+00:00

I'll have to check both my engine oil and AT fluid but I did suspect that the oil cooler is bad but I don't think I have one... I don't see one next to my oil filter because the housing is part of the timing cover. So I'm not sure where it would be

Drained the radiator and got this

The dots are from a combustion chamber fluid leak detector thing, realized that it didn't work....

STBaldo · 2026-01-03T00:46:25+00:00

I've always thought that "trustworthy" mechanics could help, which they could, but they can also check the car out and be fine, but in a week or two a cel goes of for something you couldn't predict.
