Do you ever replace just the head gasket? I figure it might be a better repair depending on how long they drove it after it went out. I'm guessing most used engines are starting to go as well. And I'll never do another one without changing the EGR cooler, too much of a pain to clean out.

@do-it-dave I own a shop I'm not a DIY I loose a lot of money and time and customer by repairing an engine with an issue. This is from years of experience not Google or UA-cam

@do-it-dave I can't afford to waste time . I own busy hybrid / EV shop I have no time

@@ronaldoquintos1675 so do I, I know what you mean. I can do a hg pretty quick though, especially since these heads don't really need to be machined with the way they fail is mainly just the hg itself.

@do-it-dave 50k miles JDM engine for only 1300 bucks with everything attached. I just did one that came from another shop who tried to do a head gasket twice. Finally they called me I slap a 50K miles engine from Japan complete with everything except AC. compressor. I don't know how long you been in business but you would do your customers a favor by doing it this way.

Why does this scenario exist

@@mr-toyota just a bad design. it doesn’t matter what parts you try, they all do it

It seems to be because Toyota changed the backing plate on the later models, and all the rotor banks get set to that new depth regardless of year.

@@do-it-dave yeah it was a pain in the ass but that’s cars for u in general

I agree, Toyota should have recalled this EGR design that causes these head gaskets to blow.

Thst would have been nice on doubt on the recalls

This has an electric pump, not serviceable. I recommend a new aisin pump for high mileage cars.

Not normally, especially with these engines. They usually run for quite awhile with a blown head gasket. Although, if you have a bunch of coolant on your plugs, that could definitely cause it to not fire up. I would remove coils and plugs and see if there's coolant in there. If so, yes you can probably get it to start by changing head gasket but you'll want to change coil packs and spark plugs as well

I think you're right. They're always watching, even after smashing head on into an a/c condenser at 70mph

Absolutely. Check for all external leaks and then check the head gaskets

I'm jealous. Love it down there

Don't you know it!!

I see a lot of work that has to come together perfectly for a successful head gasket job.

Closest guess yet, but still a couple hours from the north end

Nope sorry, more south

Not quite, much more north easternly

I wish, hundreds of miles ne from that though

Smoke testing an engine for leaks in the intake system

The turbo inlet was cracked and leaking in a couple spots

Yes exactly, the bushing around that shaft wears out

They're all trip hazards really. This one was tricky because there are very few suitable spots on a ford transit.

Not all blown head gasket is like that. Some blown head gasket simply loose coolant but the car otherwise runs fine, you just have to keep adding coolant every so often or your engine will overheat. Recently did one for a customer with a 2015 Prius V. Complaint was a mysterious loss of coolant. They took it to a dealer and they said dealer even used a machine to detect the failed gasket and it passed. I used my own two eyes to see that obviously oil was coming out of the gasket between the head and the block. Which mean the gasket is not doing what it’s suppose to do which is contain fluid where it should be. I did not see any anti freeze coming out there so I have to use an educated decision. First of all what is a head gaskets purpose? It’s to contain both oil and coolant where they should be. Seeing oil outside the engine coming from the head gasket meant it has failed to do its job in the first place. So it has a failed head gasket and I should replace the engine or fix it. I choose to replace engine because Toyota doesn’t even recommend fixing it once it’s failed .

It's normal to have metal shavings all throughout these engines! As long as it gets past the warranty

It's not that easy, I had the front completely off to change the engine.

Probably not nearly as much as newer ones.

No kidding, they've been around forever - in car brands that aren't trying to cut every corner.

@@do-it-dave manuals are seeming to fade from the USA. Toyota only offers the manual in the gr Corolla now while every other country gets the 6 speed in the non gr models.

@@iheartapple-114 sadly that's been the case for quite some time.

It's a joke, you have to remove the entire front of the car to get to it.

Ok little girl

Good eye! At least it was only cracked in between on the support

I think it's a state by state basis where all the laws are different. But it sounds like a good idea to me

Shouldn't have been something that even shipped out unfixed in such a late model vehicle.

@@do-it-dave agreed but in their country this type of stuff don't happen, they're made in Korea where ppl do 20 years or sentenced to death for crimes like this, and who would've thought you could just hotwire a modern vehicle? Yes it shouldn't have been a problem but our own country cleared those cars to be sold here. The way I see it is the governments fault more than KIA.

Haha that's the joke. I was swapping engines, surprise surprise.

Haha exactly!

I'm in the northeast. I know that pain. These came off without an issue somehow. Felt like a lotto win
