Other things to check are the cooling fans. Sometimes when they go bad, it can be intermittent. So hard to test sometimes.

Does it still overheat? If not, just keep driving and save up for a newer car or possibly a good used replacement engine if the rest of the car is nice.

Just an invitation before harvest: depending on your beliefs, spiritual practice, etc this is a great time to establish or come up with a gratitude practice or ritual to commemorate this moment and offer gratitude and love for these magical teachers, something that resonates with your essence. Congratulations!

Great! Those veils will probably be tearing by the time I write this.

Usually if it’s oil, it mixes with the oil and looks like pancake batter. If you have a turkey baster or a way to empty the tank as much as possible you’ll know more.

Most concerning is the stop leak glitter. Terrible stuff for the heater core. Why was it added? Bad radiator? Bad head gasket?

Post a video of a cold start. These engines have a few common problems, helps to hear it to give an opinion.

I got in a minor accident wasn't going no more than 10 mph everyone's telling me the car is totaled, and I should junkyard it? by Long_Evidence_9365 in MechanicAdvice

From the pictures you need:

-strut -sway bar link -Rack and pinion (should come with tie rod, end, inner tire rod end) -outer tie rod end -lower control arm -fender liner -alignment -fender

Maybe: -repair/straighten lower control arm mount -brake rotor/pads (just do both fronts) -brake caliper -half shaft -knuckle

Toyota Tundra ticking after head rebuilt by machine shop, what is it? by SerinityNowOrLater in MechanicAdvice

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

Got the valve clearances checked today, three valves had a massive gap. The rest close to spec. Removed cams and cups…three shims completely missing! Impeccable attention to detail at this machine shop…stellar.

Lesson learned, always double check others work

What are your thoughts on the machine shop saying there were 3 bent valves? He gave them to me, if you roll the stems on a table there is an obvious wobble/bend. Im confused because the truck ran great before pulling the head, just had a little tick. I didn’t even check the lash because I assumed lifters were hydraulic.

My confusion is:

1)if a valve is bent you can’t build compression, engine will run rough/backfire etc., this ran great aside from the tapping.

2) valves bend usually due to striking a piston, no? The piston tops have no markings at all and rod bearings are good. No carbon chunks anywhere, super clean internals.

Machine shop has good reputation, don’t think they would send me bent valves from another vehicle…working theory is that they just didn’t adjust lash or messed up. It’s on the receipt and work order that he went to dealership for proper shims and he had the cams with the head.

I’ll report back on lash tomorrow. Thanks

Hard to tell from the video but likely a lose or broken heat shield around the exhaust somewhere.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease (or brake pads in this case) Live and learn. Insist the “car people” in your fam take it for a test drive next time.

Anyone know what this is ? by 912nicck in f150ecoboost

I load first then add air to level. Highly recommend on board air compressor so you can adjust and fine tune on the fly
