To get home from the Lake Bowen Car & Coffee event, I opted to do something I have been dying to with the Corvair. I drove it on South Carolina State Route 11. SC 11 is the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway and runs along the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I drove New Prospect to Campobello. #automobile #chevy #corvair #classiccars #scenicdrive #scenicbyway

I changed the serpentine belt on my 2016 Camry. This is a relatively easy 20-minute job. You’ll need a ratchet and a 14 mm socket. This is the same for 2012 - 2017 Camrys.

    OK. Everyone. Use a thin wall socket, so you do not jam/touch the rocker, and get a false feel. Then spin the push rod while tightening the nut. When there is a slight resistance on the 'spinning' of the push rod, the slack is out. Turn rocker nut a quarter to less than a half turn more. Slop is now out of the assembly.

      Alright, thanks. I think I have my carbs balanced. However I get an oil pressure light at idle when the car is warm, unless I turn the idle up a fair bit. I’m more money than I care to admit in on mine, but I think an engine drop and rebuild are my destiny. Well beyond my experience, and I’m admittedly frustrated, but too stubborn to stop. I’ll make this a reliable daily if it bankrupts me, haha.

      I have, and from what I can tell I'm golden there, the usual ups and downs but nothing even close to bad. Somewhat suspecting I may be losing some pressure from the pushrod tube o-ring leaks, but I don’t have any gushers. And again, the light only comes on at idle and with the engine nice and hot. Worn out transmission and leaky diff aside, it runs frustratingly well haha.
