My dad's F150 did that too. It was a lovely spark plug so it just separated from the ground/threaded portion. Easy fix, but damned if it didn't shake us up a bit when it blew.

. We're not talking about a GM dealership denying your warranty for a broken radio because you installed long-tube headers, we're talking about a car getting blacklisted because the owner threw a tune on it that added 70-100hp and blew the engine.

orange lime posted:What is going on here? What is happening when the filter looks like it's burning up? Is that oil squirting out and then getting sucked back in/being burned off? I dunno but if he took that stupid breather filter off and reconnected the PCV it probably wouldn't blow by so much.

trouser chili posted:Honda never uses balance shafts? Bullshit. Every F and H motor out there has a pair of them. Although they don't seem that nessesary. I didn't bother with the balance shaft belt on the last timing belt job I did on my 1997 Accord sedan, just left it off. It's a little rougher than my 1997 Accord wagon, but not much. They're only for NVH anyway, they have nothing to do with protecting the rotating assembly. I think B series do as well.

dissss posted:That happened to the rear mount on my DA Integra. And that was with the raging torque-monster that the B16a was. That seems to be a B-series thing. My B18 powered Integra's motor mount bushings were completely done in just a few years. Poly inserts help a lot. The vibration is sometimes annoying but it beats feeling your drivetrain thrashing around violently and wondering if this is the time your axles will snap.

Apparently the guy took it to Les Schwab twice and they couldnt find a single thing wrong with his car. Pulling it in sounded amazing. Stuff like this really irritates me. I don't expect anyone to bat 1.000 but how do you not find this with the wheel screaming like a cat in a blender? I may not know a lot about auto repair but I figure I have enough self interest to net let something like that slide.

EightBit posted:Threads like that make me believe in karma for a brief moment. That guy is such a tool it's hard to imagine how he got his car to 90,000 miles. No poo poo. A Kia is too good for him...hell, a riding lawnmower is too good for him.  HEY GENIUS: drat near every modern car manufacturer has made an interference engine with a timing belt. Guess you'd better sue all of them too! What kind of stupid entitled oval office do you have to be to think that a timing belt every 60k and plugs every 15k isn't reasonable maintenance? Holy hell, just a few decades ago you'd be rebuilding the engine at 60k. Not to mention that looks more like detonation damage than valves and pistons meeting. I guess that's kinda moot now though. Sorry, people like that just really push all the wrong buttons with me.

trouser chili posted:Yeah, I had a 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3 liter with a first gen A604 time bomb turning behind it. Got 150,000 miles out of it. I thought on several occasions it died, but it was always minor fixes. Got rid of the drat car after it stranded me 100 miles from home when the transmission fluid cooler lines ruptured suddenly. It was a pig to drive, but supremely useful vehicle. We had pretty much the same vehicle with the same powertrain at one of my former jobs. It blew the coolant lines as well. At the time I thought it was because everyone who drove it beat on it mercilessly but maybe it's a thing beyond that. Who knows?

I guess that's not too surprising since the ABS solenoids and motor(s) probably need a fair amount of juice. OTOH never doubt the ability of a short to pump ridiculous amounts of current through anything. I've had dealings with very low voltage things (we're talking a couple of millivolts at best) that were shorted and left the chassis of the device too hot to touch.
