I would start with the VVT solenoid for bank 1. You can get misfire codes when a solenoid starts getting lazy without getting the specific codes for the VVT, then when it gets bad enough, you'll see like P1130 and P1349.

I use the small BeadBuster XB-450 (I don't know remember I bought the smaller ones) on the backside of alloys, but it doesn't work well unless you use two of them at a time. They just doesn't push down enough of the sidewall if the tire is glued onto the rim. On the frontside, I use an older...

I see a future Justrolledin.

It's for a car battery. People on other forums seem to call these things "BM2." Looks like the following.

I was thinking of buying some of these for some cars that are rarely driven... You need to install an app on your phone to use these. It turns out that the app is pretty abusive. The product collects GPS co-ordinates, cell phone tower data and nearby Wifi beacons Location data is sent over the...

I wanted to follow up on this, as it has been a while. I wound up buying new batteries after nursing my old ones around for another 10,000 miles or so on the Prolong system. So, ultimately, not a very good deal, and a lot of time spent reconditioning. Every battery pack will age differently, so...

Looks like you were wise to do this. I very recently bought the reconditioning kit for the family Prius V, and the new discharge limits are 134V, 101V, and 84V (see photo below). They may have also changed some of the current levels since it took me around 9 hours to run a discharge cycle alone...

I would hit it with an iron remover before claying (I don't even bother claying anymore, actually).

It's one of the cars from the Genesis Invitational (PGA Tour) at the Riviera Country Club, which was held this weekend. Tiger wasn't playing due to an injury. He had been staying at the Terranea resort, apparently. That place is really nice, recommended, if you can afford it.

I kid you not... skip to about 1:28 in the video:

There's a paper from the SAE/Chevron dated Sept. 15, 2020: https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/2020-01-2100/ There's apparently at least 2 types of PEA out there. From the abstract: Much of the paper is available if you hit the "preview document" in the above link. The...

I'd first try filling the center of the pole with foam (like the spray insulating foam) and if that didn't work sufficiently, then wrap the pole with some constrained layer damping (CLD) material. An example of CLD is dynamat. Something like this...
