Could've been a serious mechanical failure for the previous owner of my gauge cluster: The wires driving the speedometer were apparently right up against the bulb illuminating that section of the dash.

Is that a Mazda engine by any chance? There was a recall on Protege's due to those little screws coming out and doing exactly that.

Video says it was a Maxima. I've seen the same thing happen on a 300E, it made a terrible noise, and we spent hours trying to figure it out. On the plus side, I got to use a bore scope on it.

Newer BMW diesels have "swirl flaps" that look similar, with the same problem. The most horrific story I heard was the little screws coming off and taking out the piston and valves, then the turbo and as a grand finale the cat. (Or maybe it was an ever incresing avalanche of fragments, probably that.) They sell little machined plugs you can use to delete those particular things, as they do nothing good except improve fuel economy a little bit at idle.

The DISA valve can start rattling, and you'd better change it before the screw falls out and gets sucked into the intake....

Ferremit posted:Xtrail motors were known for doing it too- seen a few of them down here that have had very mangled heads from intake butterfly screws That's nice to know, that engine has a whole bunch of problems when fitted in the US market Sentra, but the X-trail wasn't sold in the US and is made in Japan - the US market cars are all made in the US including the engine so it wasn't clear whether the X-trail's engine was going to have the same problem.

The burned wire is actually the speedo drive - the bulb gets power from the flexible circuit board, but the heat from the bulb was burning the insulation.

(Or maybe it was an ever incresing avalanche of fragments, probably that.) The vW W8 was pretty much a mechanical failure from the start, but another similar example. You had to remove the intake manifold to do the spark plugs. If you were not expecting it and did not either hae something in position to stop it, certain bolts when loosened would fall down into the motor. It would then make a terrible noise at start up and boom. The w8 engine wasn't exactly cheap -- vw actually had to build new ones as one offs by hand. Most dealers that did this just bought the owner a new car due to the cost involved. (22k without labor, which was more expensive than a w8 passat on the used market).

Godholio posted:That poor old block...probably a 327 or earlier. Dammit, cannot edit by phone app. Not a 327, its a late GM block, hence the weatherpack sensor on the oil line at the rear, and the roller cam bosses in the lifter valley. I see a fuel block off plate so I would guess Pre L31. So either way it is a 5.0L or 5.7L TBI commonly from a truck but sometimes a car.

How long were they still pumping oil directly to the pressure guage? I thought the oil line back there was plugged off on newer (70s-ish) blocks. Good call on the roller bosses. Edit: VVV Aha! Thanks. Godholio fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Sep 10, 2012 |

This oil passage is right on the rear lifter valley dam (in green). The sensor used on later vehicles is a combined oil pressure gauge and fuel pump shutoff sensor, and is just a fuel pump shutoff sensor in other vehicles. They either use that boss, or the boss down next to the oil filter (in green). The boss they got rid of is marken in red here

The butterfly valve in the intake looks really similar to Toyota ACIS. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Control_Induction_System Never heard of the screws coming loose on a Toyota though.

Shooting it seems like a much more interesting solution. Or poking at the bump with a long pointy stick.
