Post pictures of your car's engine compartment

1991 Ford Ranger. 3.0L V6 Vulcan. Has a guesstimated 230,000+ miles on it..

It has a cone filter on it cause the air box was broken to [censored] when I bought it.

1995 Buick Roadmaster. It's never really super clean

Has that manifold had any repair work done?

 

[55Test]

It had a small crack in it and I fixed it with some hitemp cold-weld stuff, that's the grey spots you can see. It still has a tiny leak that seems to be coming from in behind one of the bolts, so maybe the gasket is cracked? Why do you ask?

 

[eljefino]

that manifold looks like it's made of play doh, that's why.

 

[Drew99GT]

It's a Corolla...the entire car is made of play doh.

My cousin has a 94 Integra and I was wondering why that black paint comes off in flakes. Are you going to repaint it the same black color? I think it looks just fine with the natural metal color.

 

[ThirdeYe]

Seems to do that in almost every single Integra I've seen. No idea why it does that.. I was thinking of either stripping it completely or repainting it black or red, with the crinkle-style paint.

Lots of room for something bigger in there.


eljefino, is there any car that you have not replaced the headgasket on?

1983 Ford F100 300ci inline six. It's gone now, because it was such a money pit. But that engine was sure cool to look at, and it had a nice roar to it.

A history of head gaskets and myself:

Noted bubbles in antifreeze in above pickup. Left alone for years (but not many miles).

Bought a Dodge Spirit with the same motor and a very blown gakset for $160 to practice on. It worked out.

Bought a saturn with bad rings for $200, and the gasket had to be replaced as part of the ring job.

Did my own rings on my saturn wagon thereafter.

Since the s-series cars are rather fun, I bought another with a cracked head, and yet another with a spun rod bearing. Was given a block with a good crank. Two more.

Oh, and my brother-in-laws cavalier 2.2 blew a head gasket, spritzing water externally, near the water pump.

The family's 07 Tacoma 4-banger. Perhaps after the pollen has finished dropping I will hose the engine down.
