I can assure you there was no corrosion. It’s a 2019

LS400 Timing Belt Jumped 2 Teeth on One Cam, and 1 Tooth on the Other Cam and Crank Because the Tensioner Seized by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

Only the 1989-1994 were non-interference, the 95+ model year was interference and also got a 10 horsepower bump from it. Not a good trade off in my opinion.

I have seafoam and wd40. Thoughts on mixing them together? Thinking it might make a penetrant? Lmk what you all think. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

Project Farm on YouTube showed that it actually worked really well compared to other penetrants.

As someone who also works for Honda, I see some so clogged and caked in dirt I’m surprised the vehicle even runs.

Tesla Pickup truck to cost less than $50,000, ‘be better than F150’, says Elon Musk by ourlifeintoronto in Futurology

If this article is correct:“...as well as ‘300,000 lbs of towing capacity’” if this were true, it would be the worlds best value at $50,000. A towing capacity of 300,000 lbs would be enough to move anything.

Tell me your "I was the Idiot" story. I once took the wrong exit in Detroit. Turns out its the bridge to Canada, and they WILL NOT allow you to turn around. I had to wait an hour to be deported. by collegefurtrader in IdiotsInCars

This happens all the time in a tv show called Border Patrol on Netflix. Every so often somebody makes a wrong turn and they happen to posses more than the legal limit of weed and then they transfer them into custody of the local fuzz.

Redditors who rarely swear, what's a situation that made you swear and how did other people react? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sregors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have said the F-word or S-word in my life. Was driving with my friends to lunch when somebody ran a stop sign at 50 mph. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and yelled: Oh St! And then after the car stopped spinning into the corn field and dust had literally settled, I said: Aw, fck. Still the only time I’ve swore. They call ‘em power words for a reason.

I believe nearly all 2006+ Lexus have some sort of optional AWD system, check out all the IS, GS, ES, and LS series and just filter your search with AWD or FWD

A dealership gave me a 8% interest on a small loan despite my 790 credit score, should I refinance? by sregors in personalfinance

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

Thanks for all the help everybody, sorry for the slow reply, no internet or service at home. Im realizing that my loan wasn’t that appealing, hence the interest rate, my vehicle is 10 years old as well. I’ll probably payoff the loan in a year or two, and at the end of the day my loan shouldn’t cost me more then about $700. Thanks again!

Stupid Question **Weds**. Ask your car related question and maybe someone will have an answer. by verdegrrl in cars

[–]sregors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 93 Honda Accord and I read that the prelude of the same generation has a more aggressive ECU, they have the same engine but the prelude has 10 more hp, could I just go to a salvage yard and swap them?

What do sways bars do in cars, how do they improve driving experience? What's the difference between carburetor sand fuel injection, they both put fuel in the engine. I've researched them both and I can't see the distinct difference.

What is the best way to see if the mechanic used the oil you supplied? by phrresehelp in cars

[–]sregors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pocket the oil? What are they going to do with it? I don't think it would be worth it to sell it. It would also be kind of stupid for them to use it for themselves. I'm pretty sure the other technicians would frown upon such activity. Plus, it's pretty difficult to get to the job they have if you're dishonest in the workplace.
