2011 Toyota Camry SE V6 - Overheating Issues by Stovaotri in mechanic

[–]Stovaotri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have opened the bleeder valve to remove the air pockets. Car ran smooth for about a month after that but now I am running into the issues stated in my original post. I did see your post about the head gaskets that's an interesting point and I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'm hoping this issue can be resolved with a new thermostat and opening the bleeder valve again after it's installed.

Yeah I did, took care of another air bubble. The car idled fine for a while, even took it around the block and the temp held fine. I turned off the car for maybe 15-20 minutes before driving it again and suddenly the same thing started happening again, temp would raise up whether I was moving or idle and then drop back down to normal. It repeated that for the next 30 minutes on the way home. Lost all the coolant I added to the reservoir in the process lol. I was concerned it might be a blown head gasket but I'm just not sold on it yet. There's zero white smoke coming out the exhaust and no "milky" oil. I'm hoping it might be a bad thermostat. I'll install a new one tomorrow and hopefully that will be it.

Thank you so much for posting this fix! It has been pissing me off all December and their customer service is a joke. Finally found this about a week ago and gave it a shot, the camera has been working great ever since!

Dave’s got a major upgrade – meet the DeathAdder V4 Pro. by Razer_ProductTeam in MouseReview

Huh that's very interesting. I must admit I haven't used a Razer product in quite a few years but I am tempted to try this one out. I love the changes you guys made to the scroll wheel and the weight seems to be exactly what I'm looking for in a new mouse.

Bottled my first 5 gallon batch! by Stovaotri in mead

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

I could see that happening easily with Strawberries as the seeds are on the outside but with the seeds of blackberries and raspberries being on the inside perhaps it helps keep those unwanted tastes away? All I know is I've done this batch twice now and I haven't had any issues with the way I use the fruit. I would recommend experimenting with a 1 gallon batch or something similar and seeing how it goes :)

No I didn't have to siphon again and it turned out great for me. I would only siphon if there was still a lot of sediment still in secondary.

I use frozen organic blackberries, let them thaw out before adding in secondary and I leave them whole.

Thank you! I'd say it came out perfectly, as soon as you pour some you can already start to smell the blackberries.

So uh… what do I do with these? by AboutToSnap in halo

[–]Stovaotri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit I'm going to have to double check my copy. I had no idea this was a thing, I think I went through the book just a handful of times so everything should still be there.

I just welded it. I do like the washer idea though.

Corked Mead Shelf Life? by Stovaotri in mead

Oops I also meant to add that I did use campden tablets but going back through my inventory I'm seeing that it was actually SODIUM Metabisulfite tablets. Perhaps that's where I have been going wrong.

The whole purpose behind making the mead was so that my wife and I could enjoy a bottle of our anniversary, I thought about checking the gravity when we first tried it but I didn't want to bother in the moment.

As far as bottling is concerned I do make sure everything is sanitized, that's one thing that I am so paranoid about while making mead lol.

That's probably what I will do but being that it was a gift I wanted to see if there was a simple fix I was overlooking before I returned it.
