It isn't, that's a Toyota of some sort (celica I think?) and that's an illusion. The wiring is actually level with the strut bolt and is several inches away from being anywhere near the wheel.

"But INCH DICK," he says, " I am Pagliaci." Roll snare drum. Funny joke. Everybody laugh.   Lady decided to head over Stevens Pass without oil or coolant in the engine, pulled over after it stopped steaming*while moving*. Compression results as follows. 1: 0 psi 2: 90 psi 3: 120 psi 4: 0 psi 5: 0 psi 6: 0 psi Said she couldn't get it to start after she stopped, and had it towed to us.

Ended our endurance race early today when the engine felt down on power. Pulled the valve cover and saw both cylinder one rocker arms broken. Oh well, it was a good season.

Haven't you broken rocker arms before on that motor? Time for IE rockers. At least they aren't too expensive. Hole in the firewall and you can do it quick...

The sales writer came out to see the 300 with the work order in hand and he asked me to walk him through what's going on and I laid one hand flat on top of the manifold almost lovingly and said "well, I can tell you at least it isn't in any more pain" and just sort of stared at it wistfully

Na last time they slipped because the retaining clips weren't installed. We're going to look at the various aftermarket rockers and decide what will work best. It's possible it was due to an over rev from one of our drivers but stock rockers should hold up to 7k+ without failing.

CharlesM posted:I just now noticed one of the spark plugs is in two pieces. Well actually three, but the center rod section went back down the plug hole popping it out of my socket, but it was a cylinder that tested at 0 anyways and given the state of the rest of the motor gently caress it. And 2 others split in half near identically reinstalling without any warning, but once again gently caress it at the point it was at.

No, she's still driving it on expired tabs not in her name and no end in sight, and I'm no longer entirely thrilled to work with her. She got moved from back shop to front shop ticket writer training, not even a service manager spot merely being taught how to call customers and explain how far they need to bend over about 2 weeks ago, and yesterday she tried bossing me around at the end of the day and I was blowing her off and she said that once she becomes store manager she would be willing to fire me on the spot for that attitude and I lit her up pretty hard core. She wanted to loving write me up lol, i got the service manager involved and told him that she's not even been in the industry for 6 months and has pushed pencils for a whole 2 weeks and she's already thinking she out ranks me with almost 10 years with the company. I told her it would happen too, front shop and back shop will forever be engaged in endless class warfare.

It includes cleaning out the throttle body and iac if the iac is bad enough/simple and easy enough to, and gets sucked through the vacuum port unto the intake while running and I've pulled manifolds that were nasty and oily off and the insides looked really nice. Maybe not every 15k nice, but every 60-80K or depending on rate of fouling or hard use? Absolutely.
