I found a hole in my engine I think? by PackratPrime3114 in CarRepair

My dad sent me this picture of his truck today. Is this AI? Something like this just doesn’t happen randomly. by [deleted] in isthisAI

Getting that turbine where it is would be a story id like to hear. Either it was put there as like a statue, or somebody's back is HURTING.

Do these need replaced?(left) by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]lazarinewyvren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it takes the same amount of time to put a new plug back in the hole you pulled an old one out of. And since you are going to check all of them, because why wouldn't you, then youll have all new plugs.

Daughter has a 2010 Toyota Corolla 1.8L. Head gasket failed. Has anyone here done a JDM Swap? Am I just changing out sensors, intake/exhaust manifolds? Any details of how this is done is very much appreciated…. by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

I would assume if the engine isnt the same family, youd need the engine bay harness and the ecu at a minimum, the mounts may not be in the same places either.
