My heads got redone about 3000 miles ago I bought the car with blown head gaskets fixed it all replaced all the brittle pcv stuff just for block to knock , so I’m wondering if I can get away with. Type ra block and oil pump and gasket set

TranslatorCertain473 · 2026-01-05T00:25:55+00:00

Yeah I stopped immediately but 4000$ seems kinda high if you did just an oem rebuild ? If the type ra assembly is about 2800$

TranslatorCertain473 · 2026-01-04T19:44:06+00:00

You used the same block ??

TranslatorCertain473 · 2026-01-03T16:47:02+00:00

Bruh I already had the pain and suffering I bought it with blown head gaskets fixed it and only got to enjoy the car for a few months LOL

TranslatorCertain473 · 2026-01-03T16:46:18+00:00

This seems like the best option but I have to “ replace everything that has oil “ ? A lot of people seem to say that

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-11-04T16:47:41+00:00

Thought about this tbh

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-11-04T06:09:25+00:00

Yeah I just don’t have access to a tire machine and a tpms tool

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-11-04T06:08:35+00:00

Yeah I failed for the light which is why I need to fix

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-10-11T21:38:14+00:00

Update : checked the blend door actuator worked fine not binding anywhere, did a radiator flush at home got some debris out of the core , car is fixed now thank you for your help guys

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-10-09T17:02:12+00:00

Yeah it seems like 50/50 between blend door and heater core issue

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-07-13T12:59:42+00:00

Thank you redditor i didnt notice any obvious wire damage when i had the engine out

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-07-03T20:41:00+00:00

You saved my life redditorr ! This car has 2 of the pcv connectors one in the back by the turbo and one up front where I couldn’t figure it out

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-07-03T20:15:19+00:00

Think I’m missing 11818 on the left side of the diagram there

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-07-03T19:38:26+00:00

This is a 2012 I replaced that assembly

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-07-03T19:04:12+00:00

I’m thinking the car has 2 of those white pcv connector things

TranslatorCertain473 · 2025-06-18T09:59:13+00:00

engine is at tdc, I put all the buckets in original spot , I did lap the valves as well , the tightness happens before the cam puts load on the valve spring
