    Panasonic "cyclonic inverter" microwave

    I actually didn't have microwave at all for a while, and it made me get much better at re-heating foods. Air fryer is a good choice for many things but it tends to dry foods out. I usually do skillet on medium (stirring) for foods that I don't want to retain moisture and skillet, lid on...

    Panasonic "cyclonic inverter" microwave

    Oh I didn't mention, mine is an inverter. So the low-end inverter models at least are made by Midea.

    Panasonic "cyclonic inverter" microwave

    Funny this thread just came up, I also just bought a Panasonic. Mine is the cheap one from Target, but I opened it up and it was definitely designed and built by Midea, not Panasonic. Every circuit board has Midea's logo on it. The magnetron is from Witol, another Chinese company that says on...

    Need advice--unique issue with 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid

    Do you mean on Honda 4 cylinder engines specifically? This is the first Honda I have owned but that seems like a really weird thing. I used to have a '98 Volvo with the 5 cylinder, and those things are notorious for PCV clogging. On those cars, if you put a glove over the oil fill at idle and it...

    Need advice--unique issue with 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid

    Well, unfortunately you can't check whether torque-to-yield head bolts are installed to spec because the spec is a degree of rotation, not a torque value, so I have no idea of their state. Adjusting them would probably make it worse! And at my skill level it's probably a 40-hour job to get it...

    I'm a part-time lurker who just made an account, sorry, I don't know the structure of things around here! I'm amazed this forum is still so active and will definitely be sticking around! Can I move the thread myself?

    Need advice--unique issue with 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid

    I had to get it from the dealer so I hope it wasn't the wrong gasket! I'm thinking I messed up the torque angle bolts because it was very hard to line it all up. But if it dies before I can get rid of it, I might tear it apart just to figure out what the heck went wrong! It is very very...

    Call me a sucker but I feel bad dumping it when I know it's on borrowed time...but I'm thinking about it!

    Need advice--unique issue with 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid

    1) Occasionally it makes a chattering noise for a few seconds on startup that I'm assuming is bearing-related...this thing is making so many weird noises at different times it's hard to tell 2,3,4) This is looking less and less worth it, even if I fixed the engine, other little issues are...

    Need advice--unique issue with 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid

    I have a 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid (LFA1 engine, not related to other Honda L-series) with ~250k miles. Long story short, I removed the head 30k miles ago, and I don't think I got the torque-angle bolts exactly right. It has a slow coolant leak from the transmission side of the engine, and when...
