My sienna 2001 engine top makes lifter/tappet noise and only smokes when engine is cold and once it's hot, it doesn't smoke no matter how you accelerate.
The thing now is that my engine oil shorts and I have to top half a litre every 2 weeks. Could it be because of the weak noisy tappet that oil might find it's way into the exhaust chamber or is my rings going bad? I have been advised to get a tokunbo engine top. Will it work?
I will appreciate some comments before I make a mistake

Major culprit could be valve seals. Other things may likely be wrong as well. Visit a good mechanic.

Na your comment make sense pass.

Peugeot 206 is also a good car for someone like you provided you have good and qualified technicians around to repair and service the car for you regularly.

My Corolla 2003 is slow to gain acceleration once I come to a full stop while driving.
I have changed the coil and nozzle, but this is still happening.

Could it be the gear; the power in gear one not enough?

Or can it have something to do with the brain box?

Really need advice

Stop wasting money on guess work and stop gambling with what the problem might be. Take car out for proper diagnosis/scanning that will show you straight where the problem is.

Your car is doing well, don't let anybody tamper with anything around the cooling system (radiator, fan, thermostat, water pump, coolant etc). Meanwhile your wife's car is not doing bad as well, a little decrease may probably mean that radiator cover is not pressure tight enough or a very minor leak somewhere. Only qualified technicians should be allowed to check or service your vehicles please.

How will you confirm that your potential writer is a certified auto professional?

socialmediaman:
You could’ve shown me what dictionary you were looking at. Topic should be something along the lines of “My worker(s) stole my money” or “My money was stolen by my worker(s)”

Here is the dictionary as requested. Note the word "especially". Also check 2 and 3 meanings - "to deprive of"

socialmediaman:
PS: You weren't robbed, your money was stolen. There's a difference. Robbery involves force, like when someone forcefully takes something from you with threats of causing harm. Theft is when they steal it from you without threat or force.

Op is correct and in order. Check the meaning of "rob" in the dictionary. How else do you want him to state the topic, may be "I have been 'stolen' by my workers, please help!" ?

Why didn't the mother buy the car for him then?
Maybe when he starts working with the car,he won't give the mother out of the proceeds.

I'm not justifying the insult on his mother.But you're the one that needs help.You stomach whatever happens as long as you will receive the help.

If the age mate of our last born wants to help my life,if he asks me to prostrate to him,I will do it.Na me need help.It doesn't remove years out of my life.

As for me, I don't know about somebody else, I can never sell my mother cheaply just because of what I want to eat.

Op, experts have advised that you go for V6, please listen to them. However, I will also advise that you do thorough vehicle history check to discover accident and maintenance records. High mileage does not matter if all the reports come out fine.

akanbiaa:
Some people don't play with their mother(it is their red line you must never cross) if you insult their mother they will never accept anything from you even if they need it to save their lives except you seek forgiveness from the mother and the mother forgives the person wholeheartedly. Wisdom demands you don't insult even a beggar if you don't have to give then say kinds words to let them know or ignore totally.

Among all the comments in the first page, yours is the only comment with sense of morality. Others didn't see anything wrong in insulting someone's mother, they value the car gift over the dignity of a mother.

EPISODE 4
... December 2020, I got a call from one of those companies I had sent my CV to for unsolicited jobs. The first thing the lady (who is currently my boss) told me was, I saw your CV and I like it. It sounded like I heard Joe Biden telling me to pack my luggage and come to the United States.
she wasn't the HR but somehow my CV got to her and my experience was relevant to the department she's heading, she did a mini interview for me to feel my weight right on the phone. She asked how much I was willing to take as salary I mentioned but her response to me suggested I fumbled on that part. so I took my mind of it and continued with my blind firing.
My people , May 2021, I received an email from the organization's HR for a virtual 45 min interview. I had 3-4 days to prepare. I prepared like it was an interview to enter Heaven. I have never prepared for interview like that in my life. The d-day came, 45mins of virtual interview was like 5mins. Adequate preparation paid off really well. And of course God was 100% in control. I was asked how much I'm willing to take. I mentioned and there was no arguments/negotiations. 3weeks after the interview, I got an offer beyond my surprise. This included a very comprehensive HMO for wife and four kids.
I resumed the job July 2021 with probationary period of 6 months. The 6 months will be ticked this January 2022. Guess what? Another surprise that happened.
December 31st 2021, I received a promotion letter while still on probation. I am dazed till now.
Let me also add that it's a remote job. I work right from inside my house with my boxers.Lol

My fellow Nigerians job hunting, I understand the pains you're going through. The pains of rejections, the pains of failing that interview, The pains of joblessness itself. The pains of being broke. I have been through it. Please don't give up, Don't relent. Trust the process, and carry God along. Change strategies, take certifications, do volunteer jobs, you can as well take unpaid internship jobs and be intentional about making the best of the experience. And don't forget, let your CV be a verb and express quantifiable results you achieved.
This year, you'll get your Congratulation letter for that job.

I painstakingly read all the episodes and I can tell you, you are very proficient in writing and your communication skill is top notch. Congrats to you and I wish you more wins by God's grace, amen.

jesusjnr2020:
Once again, I'd say thank God for exposing your hypocrisy. You should keep your advice and leave judgment to God alone instead of judging someone for disagreeing with your personal sentiments and judgment as though you were God. You are actually the real Pharisee here, because what you're doing here, the Pharisees did to Jesus and John the baptist for speaking the truth and calling people to repentance. Someone should not preach the Gospel again and warn people to repent as Jesus had done and commanded His own to do because it would be proud and judgmental to you. That is being antichrist! If you thought I was a men-pleaser who cared about pleasing the fans, well now you know better. So please kindly carry your fanship and go to where the men-pleasers are. It is an abomination here.

I don't have anything to say to you again, but I can see that this "fanship" of a thing I mentioned earlier really got into your head like you are some showbiz celebrity seeking admiration. Die the thought that you have admirers on NL, people only read your posts like any other posts and pass, you know how people drag you on this platform except few of us that have dignity.
PLEASE NOTE that I have nothing against you as I originally came to express my displeasure about how you ignorantly despised Deborah of blessed memory, and I am done with that. Peace be unto you.

jesusjnr2020:
Thank God for exposing your hypocrisy. You tell me I'm not supposed to judge anyone yet you are here judging me based on your personal sentiments.

People like you are those that would claim to believe in Jesus one moment, the next moment would pick up stones and want to stone Him for speaking the Truth and bringing the evil in your hearts to light. So what do I need such a fan for? Good riddance!

Please kindly go to where you belong with your fellow hypocrites and false Christians. If it were up to the likes of you here, I wouldn't be doing what I do here today. What I have it's not men that gave it to me but God, that's why no man can take it away, not even all the Christians in the world combined.

You can see from the testimony. If I was seeking to please hypocrites and false Christians like you, and not speak the Truth instead as God wants me to do, I would never have that kind of special treatment from God. There's another thread here I shared earlier this year, I believe you should have seen it, there were six of us in a hostel room, all claim to be Christians, four of us even belong to the same church and choir, but when armed robbers, also cultists, came into the room, I was the only one they didn't rob. You still think it's a coincidence right?

That's how you'd be disappointed on the last day when many of you who claim to be Christians would be rejected by Jesus because He doesn't know you. Most of you honor Jesus and call Him Lord with your lips but your hearts are not with Him.

That's the point I tried to make here after a God-hater was blaming God for Deborah's death that you false Christians and Antichrists are trying to crucify me for.

I never said Deborah was not a true Christian but that many Christians aren't true Christians, so whatever happens to them shouldn't be blamed on God. God is only responsible for those who are truly His.

Yes, apostle Stephen was stoned to death, but you know what happened when he died. It may not even be the first attempt at his life, but when he eventually died, Jesus stood up for him to bear witness of him. The same Jesus apprehended Paul who was behind his death, and warned him to stop such.

Apostle James was killed but you know what happened to the man who killed him afterwards. He was eaten up by worms. Many other apostles were also killed as Peter and Paul, but do you know how many attempts were made on their lives and how many times God delivered them?

John wasn't killed not because no attempt was made on his life, but because of the remarkable miracle God did to keep him alive after they tried to kill him.

How many of today's Christians would God go to that extent for? How many Christians of today who are killed, are really dying for Christ's name and His Gospel sake and not just being lip servants?

Persecution is part and parcel of what comes with Christianity as Jesus so i myself, might also be eventually killed for Christ's name and Gospel sake, but it's only when God permits such to happen. So unless that happens, He would keep me alive and keep protecting me from evil as He did the apostles.

As I said earlier though, kindly keep your word of me losing a fan. I hope those like you still following me would follow suit. If need be, I would make a thread for this purpose, so I won't have to be repeating myself. I don't want fans who would want me to please them instead of God. My true fans are those who want me to do whatever pleases God even if it means to displease them.

You shouldn't have wasted your energy writing such a long epistle because I don't see your write ups as something worth reading anymore. I only skimmed through your reply hurriedly and what I could deduce is that you are still in the game of judging people by saying they are not true christians like you and they will be surprised on the last day. Why don't you leave that part for God Himself to decide, even Jesus said He doesn't know the hour or the day that He would appear again but it seems you know more than Him. At your leisure time, please read Luke 6:37 and Matthew 7:1-5 and learn not to judge others.
You are just a perfect example of the Pharisee in Luke 18:9-14 that saw the Tax Collector in the Synagogue praying for mercy, instead of you to acknowledge that you are not totally perfect yet and ask God for His grace and mercy, you are there beating your empty chest and boasting about how holy and righteous you are, claiming to be better than other christians. I believe you are aware that the Word of God says our righteousness is like a filthy rag before God and that if God should mark iniquities who can stand? However, He said He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy and show compassion to whom He will, so who are you to judge or condemn even a fellow christain? Once again, I pray God have mercy upon your poor soul, amen.

jesusjnr2020:
If you're truly disappointed with my first statement, it means you don't like to hear the Truth or it being said to someone else. Is it not the saying of Jesus? This is not judging anyone but saying the Truth! There are many false Christians today and saying that Jesus doesn't know them is the Truth, so if you don't like people who speak the Truth, you wouldn't like me. I'm not here to please men or to make friends but to say the Truth. It's only the Truth that can make men to become free not lies. There's going to be a lot of disappointment on the last day, so now's the time to say the Truth for those that would care to listen not on that day when it would be too late.

I used to silently observe you and respect your stand as a christian and the way you propagate the gospel on this platform but you just showed how shallow you are as a christian with your statement about the death of Deborah, claiming it is what Jesus said - that "not all who call Him Lord will enter the Kingdom of God", how do you know Deborah is not a child of God or she is not qualified to be in Heaven, are you the gate keeper there?. You just lost a fan in me. So Apostle Stephen who was also stoned to death by angry mob in the presence of Saul (who later became Paul) for alleged blasphemy, was not recognized by Jesus and he (Apostle Stephen) was only calling Jesus Lord without having any relationship with the Lord? [Stephen even saw Jesus, not sitting to receive him but standing on His feet to welcome him into His Kingdom].
Have you forgotten all the teachings about persecussion? Have you forgotten how all the apostles were killed (except John the beloved?) Have you forgotten that Jesus our Lord and Savior Himself was executed by cricifixion while on earth for various allegations including blasphemy? It is so sad to hear a so-called fellow christian talk about a Martyr of the Christian faith in such manner. While I implore you to go and correct that statement there, I pray God have mercy on you and forgive your careless utterances, amen.

jesusjnr2020:
Jesus said not everyone who calls Him Lord are His own. He doesn't know many of them. Matthew 7:21-23

He once saved a lady caught in adultery from a similar situation involving sexists who wanted to stone her to death according to the laws, so He couldn't possibly be what you call Him.

John 8:10-11 (KJV)

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

I am disappointed with this your first statement. You cannot judge anyone bro. Let anyone who feels God is wicked or partial go to court to file a case against God if they can.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
But God couldn't do that for Deborah..your God is a sexist..you are a clown for attaching every single thing to God..

Confused much..

Feel free to file a lawsuit against God at the supreme court.

But you know how these politicians cross from opposition party to the ruling party to just to cover their dirty records. Remember what Adams Oshiomole said "Join APC and your sins will be forgiven".

Favaman:
I was having a discussion with my hostel mate at the top roof of the building, when we noticed a dude hopping to a hideout.

Initially, we thought he was being chased by some bad bois, then I noticed this dude kept running out from a particular point to the hideout anytime a vehicle or any human figure appears.

The kiosk is along the road, my guy was insisting that he was being chased, giving me a lot of points to ascertain his claim. I was like no if a person is being chased, there is no way the person will keep going to a particular place and later come out and go to the same place he ran from, obviously this dude is a thief!! Trying to steal. The time was between 12:05-12:58.

Few minutes later, this thief came out with some stuff from the kiosk's direction to the same hideout. He dropped it and move back to the kiosk direction. We couldn't see how he was taking this things out because, our view from the roof top to the kiosk is obstructed by some elements of a building and we were abit far from the point where he was doing this.

We were watching until something happened, this dude came back to the hideout, eating some stuff and he was having something with him like a bread or something. He sat down and he was eating from his loot.

As he was doing so, it was as if his luck was about to run out, a patrol of two vigilantees, came around and was flashing their torches around the place.

There were two things that would've happened.

1. If they(vigilantes) enter the street where the hideout of the dude is, they would've caught him.
2. If he(thief) had seen them, he would've ran and be shot dead.

On the other side, me and my guy was watching and we were contemplating if we should raise an alarm, we reasoned it. If we do now, the dude will try to run, thereby he will be shot, these vigilantees are absolutely merciless.

Beside dude was like he had not eating for days, as he was stealing, he was eating. I had a pity on him. I am very sure he is a student.

These vigilantees instincts was actually telling them something but they were too lazy or should I say they don't really care to go and check out the street opposite them, they were just flashing the torchlights all over the place but was reluctant to check out the place. They left and kept moving forward to the next junction. Leaving the thief to complete his mission.

After few minutes on the dinner, he got up and pack the other loots in a bag and took off.
All this happened within 1hr(12:05-58)

I was like "did I just do this"? How did I allow a thief to go scot free.?

Sorry to disappoint you guys, I can't stand someone being killed because I raised and alarm over stealing.. Many things might have been for the thief though, maybe he has not eaten for days, I don't know but I pray one day he will be caught.. If he still repeat it again in my presence, I won't hesitate to call the vigilantes on him.

I feel sorry for the shop owner.. Tomorrow I believe someone is going to wail and curse the thief..

I am looking out to watch what gonna happen tomorrow morning.

Do you know something called Law of retribution, or Karma? One day later in your life, a thief will steal from your shop or office or company or even rob you of your property or car, and somebody will quietly observe without helping you.
