calculation: Weldone for the job. Please what is to blame for this? Extension of oil change interval. No mineral oil has entered this engine. The polytron addictive prevented further damage. If engine has been running on a 20w50 engine would be knocked |

Many people on Nairaland have talked to Glen. Look through the threads. If you want to go up against him, your funeral. I'm more your speed.
Again, I'm not sure where your are getting these symptoms because those weren't the problem when he came lol. You assume things A LOT.
Actually, I wasn't going to bring it up BUT from what I understand, YOU presented a replacement choice to the customer and we presented ours. He chose ours. We never spoke to him about a replacement because YOU already had so.... Also, not a Camry. If client insisted on a replacement. Where would you source your engine from? |

lofty900: Gurus in the house, how long does it take to charge a dead car battery from zero to full. How long is it going to last before it goes dead? Thanks in advance
Gazzuzz, autoreportng, carguideng , ur expertise is highly needed. This would be dependent on so many factors such as battery condition, type of battery, genuine or chinko battery  . Lastly, how much of current is used from your battery charger to charge the battery. Also environmental factor (temperature) would be a contributory factor |

I wish that more people educate themselves about engine oil.
The valve train and the crud scares me. It's evident that the Toyota motor oil 5w30 is an engine destroyer. Which ever way we would get the engine back to life. Engine is 1million naira  |

iameze: So dey adjusted the timing after working on gasket I think,right?And what if they opened and discovered some bent valve and replace with timing.Can I get my engine back to shape. Also I ll like to know the approximate cost of a 2007 Acura MDX tech engine?or am I better of buying top cylinder? Thanks
CC: GAZZUZ Not that way somethings have to come first befotr the other. No way you are gonna do a head gasket job without resetting the timing. Getting your engine back to shape is a question I cant give an answer to since am not physically pressed, most dependable on extent of destruction. |

Olamiikunle: Good evening member, I am new here. My toyota Camry 2097 xle had its ABS light and Slippery light on. Also the Check VSC system notification showing. I changed the ABS sensor that was bad after scanning. The ABS light went off. But the slippery light and check VSc comes on immediately I start moving at some minimal speed. Also I notice that if I press the brake pedal while the car steering is turned to the left (like if I want to make a left U-turn and have to wait from a coming car), the car becomes slippery a bit an makes a staggering sound. Pls, anyone with an on how to solve this. My mech can seem to find the cause You still need to run a scan on the vsc system.tell us what fault error(s) you have there |

EgunMogaji: Hot or cold engine?
Startup to idle or high rev to idle?
Which engine oil? Toyota recommended? Engine oil and viscosity affects pressure. Hot engine Both psi ratings for both conditions where recorded. Toyota motor oil 5w30 when the vehicle was first bought. Currently using duramax fully synthetic oil. From the record the Toyota motor oil caused this. That oil is not fully synthetic and cannot be overstretched. If 20w50 engine would have been locked up by now  |
Car Talk › Re: Toyota 4runner 2007(1GR-FE) Fix by mayor2013(op): 1:12pm On Aug 22, 2018 |
The culprit. Heavy sludge on the bank 2. Timing chain has some slack already.a reason for the heavy engine noise. This is gonna be real good

iameze: Please help, I took my 07 Acura MDX to a "fake expert " because I had the engine oil light on dashboard of which the oil is OK at top level. On the other hand he called my attention to a sound from the engine saying the "its teething"(whatever that means). So from what I heard they doubled something that was flat(gasket maybe). After I insisted he uses the SUV for a day/2 to confirm job.Only for him to say my SUV trips off on motion.The car ended up for months at the rewires place who said the alternator was bad(although I had batt running down prior). So I changed it(3rd alternator eventually worked),I took it for a drive on very short distance and then tried a longer distance same day in a short time(with the rewires boy).Only for the engine to go off on motion just abt getting back to the shop. Tried to crank it,and got a weak turning and wouldn't start. Was later confirmed timing belt cut off.What are my chances?cos ve got both the army and Navy standing by for brutal engagement (Since dem like the Kazeem name ppl give them,we make it permanent for them).In BTW my Acura interior is in a mess,u need to see the rug and leather so dirty I ll need to soak the SUV. They say I don't need to change engine that def some bent valve and timing ll do.Best advice pls house Wrong timing set at first. Piston and valves may have clashed very possible while in motion or excessive crank while timing is off. A replacement engine might be unavoidable here |

TMANTII: Thank you mayor2013.... While planning to run the test, I will appreciate other experiences and suggestions....thank you all....
...........but also I forgot to add, while fixing back the batt, I inserted the first terminal, but there was a little/tiny spark while inserting the second one.... So I felt something is running while car is off which I'm yet to discover...or is that a norm. Location? Carry out those test. A parasitic drain would reveal some much more as to why your battery is drains out . |

TMANTII: Good day house.... I use a Honda Accord 2012.. Have got few questions to ask.. 1. The fan comes up immediately I kick start, having read/heard it shldnt be so and it doesn't goes off immediately I turn off engine. 2. The batt goes flat after four days and the baba batt charger claims it's the cause of the fan working after engine is off. 3. While reversing, I will need to apply throttle if climbing a little elevation.
CC. GAZZUZZ, Luvinhubby and other Gurus....pls help out. You should have a check engine light permanently on. Have this checked. As for battery going flat after four days with the help of a multimeter or load tester you can have your charging system checked preoperly. Reverse fan back to factory mode. |

sultaan: Let me guess with the engine noise and fault timing chain might be loose from broken guides and bad tensioner lacking lubrication.
Sludge too from used of 20w50 From the test carried out on oil pump. There is an oil pump failure. With this timing chain, timing tensioner and dampers wouldn't be getting expected lubrication hence the timing jump. But let's take out those things to inspect them physically. Car owner has been using 5w30 full synthetic. Last service was done together with polytron |
