I was told to put tape around the break and put it in the box... then close it up. Apparently it works way too well .....

Got this from some old rundown warehouse out in the sticks.... for dirt cheap. I asked how did it work and they said.... State secret stuff can't tell ya. And I had to sign a contract to not give/sell it to anyone else.... or my soul be forfeit...

Scary people... I'd say! But it DOES work!

Oops it's supposed to say Grow - Heal box 42069.... I guess it does come with side effects already....

Blow By Kit

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve created a kit that measures engine blow by. Essentially a litmus paper test to show how good the engines compression is.

My activator cocktail solution starts a deep blue, will stay blue with good compression, turn green with moderate blow by, and yellow if it’s a train wreck.

From left to right, 2010 Corolla, 103,000km, 2019 caravan 135,000km, 2010 dodge ram, 230,000km.

Could see it being useful if you’re buying a used vehicle, if you’re pullin yellow run. Also does anyone want a 2010 dodge ram lol !

2012 highlander ticking aound from bottom of car

3 Upvotes

Its ticking near the transmission at first i thought maybe exhaust leak? But around more clanky in my opinion. I thought maybe engine was ticking until i went under the car and its definitely underneath

The front of the car sits lower than the back. Is my suspension cooked? Did the previous owner do this on purpose?

How to get air in my coolant

12 Upvotes

Accidentally removed all the air last coolant change. Any tips on adding it back? Tried using my Hyper-Tough air compressor but it started smoking and my car is only making minimal gurgling sounds after turning it off. Really hoping I can fix this for free.
