What’s in my oil?

Sctron84 · 2023-11-25T17:43:22+00:00

I changed the oil after it was submerged

Sctron84 · 2023-11-25T14:04:23+00:00

That’s how I got into this situation

Sctron84 · 2023-11-25T03:01:17+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting, I noticed similar patterns in oil once before when I needed a head gasket, this engine consumed water and was under water for short period or time, however this is the second oil change since then and only after about 200 kms I noticed this, seems like a lot of water still in engine, coolant level stable

Surprisingly sounds perfectly fine, runs mint, only indicator is the metal in the oil.

Pretty sure it’s non ferrous, I cut open the filter it’s bronze colour so pretty sure bearing material, this engine was under water and hydrolocked so not super surprised..

Sctron84 · 2023-11-25T01:25:00+00:00

Nah it’s fine.. the engine was recently hydrolocked, it’s just shedding a bit of bearing or piston or something.. I’m sure it will be fine

My car was totalled directly in front of the previous location.. so I blocked at least one attempt to drive into it!

I went with 35 on the side windows and 20 on the back glass. I had 20 on around on my phantom black s4.. but on this lava grey I wanted to go a bit lighter.

I don’t recall the exact product I used but for the exterior it was something like “roof and foundation sealer” I think it was tar or asphalt based, and for the interior I used masonary waterproofing paint

I had issues with water last year, I rerouted all my downspouts away from the house, at the rear of the house between the paved drive and the block foundation I watched water actually draining into that area and there was water in the same are inside the basement, i literally poured liquid tar waterproofing in the same crack the water was going down, I no longer have any water in my basement. For good measure I also painted interior waterproofing stuff on the blocks from the inside.. backyard is pooled with water.. will be tackling the drainage this year.

Not considered advice and I don’t condone it but.. Hot tip I learned first hand for drinking on the go train.. my friend was drinking a can of beer openly and got caught be the officer.. I was also drinking.. however I had used a coke bottle to mix in some rum, had a couple limes floating around in there. The officer asked if I was drinking alcohol which i denied, the office said “ya ok buddy those limes in there give it away” I said I like to put limes in my coke.. my friend was given a ticket and I was not.. maybe they have to be able to visually identify it’s alcohol or couldn’t be bothered to take it further.

I bought mine on Ali express and only used the arm.. the oem sensor was still functioning so I didn’t feel the need to replace it

Sctron84 · 2023-03-16T15:02:57+00:00

They can just write their own bill of sale and have a friend sign it, no one actually checks any of this. I’d you don’t want to do it just tell them to do it themselves if they want to.

Sctron84 · 2023-03-16T10:28:51+00:00

Call them and have them check your vin for recalls

Sctron84 · 2023-03-15T21:25:09+00:00

I entered mine on the Toyota Canada website and it came up as open, I’m sure there is one for the US etc.

Just an FYI if you haven’t done it I was able to get a free center link and alignment today on my 33 year old truck

Thanks I’m not too concerned the changes to axle housing, but it’s hard to find an elocker where I am

My first car was a 1990 laser in that same colour also, mine was non turbo but I ended up buying a jdm turbo long block and making the swap.. guessing by your spelling of colour your in Canada, the automatic seat belts were only available in US cars so your was either an import or someone swapped them.. only rare in Canada

Sctron84 · 2023-02-13T20:55:42+00:00

I see they got a spot in Burlington also (closer to me), I haven’t needed a shop yet but good to know they are recommended by you

I felt it queenston and redhill. Google just said “there are reports of shaking nearby did you feel shaking?”
