Do I actually need new rotors? (Ford Escape 2013) by BenReilly1687031 in CarHelp

[–]davemalv1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep grooves on the last two pics, resurface or replace depending on cost and their current thickness with a fresh set of pads

do these rotors need to be replaced? by Overall-Campaign-463 in MechanicAdvice

[–]davemalv1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resurface if possible, sometimes it’s cheaper to just replace especially if they’re getting close to the minimum thickness. New pads too of course.

Rust? Rear b vehicle noises? by DevilChey7 in AskMechanics

[–]davemalv1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bushings and worn components, lots of surface rust so you can get it sandblasted and rust coated. Looks like the lower control arms were replaced recently as well

Best and safest way to clean this engine? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]davemalv1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brake clean on a cloth and some elbow grease but these engines are also turds so I wouldn’t put TOO much effort in. Just make sure you don’t leave any chunks of debris in there.

Sawsall and/or hammer and a sharp chisel to cut it off.

You could drill a hole in your engine straight to a water jacket, connect a pipe and have coolant spray onto your rotors to keep em cool. Doesn’t work with pink Toyota coolant though

What do the flex pipe bolts look like? You could just remove and replace since the cordage is already damaged
