      By the symptoms. On start up it would smoke and if sitting at a light it would smoke but when I was driving the highway it wouldn’t. It’s inductive but I was right. Typically, if it is constantly smoking it’s the rings. You can also do a leak down test to prove if the cylinders rings are good. If so, it would be the seals.

      You mean how it was switching? Well, I didn’t really hook a scan tool up to it for this one. I had the upstream O2 sensor fail twice on the drivers side left bank. Upon removal they had the characteristics of oil contamination. Since the repair I have not had my check engine light come back on for a faulty O2 sensor and no more morning smoke on start. 🤷‍♂️. I’ll admit it was purely inductive reasoning that lead me to the conclusion but it seems so far to have paid off.

There is no more than 1 1/2 inch clearance from booster to valve cover. In my case. Say when I did a cam swap. Injector plugs, coil plugs, vacuum line from booster, vacuum line from throttle body, power steering pressure switch (may not be necessary) but gain a bit of room. After all that is out the way, I am able to roll the valve cover outward and down toward the exhaust manifold. In my specific case. Shorty headers.

      @@hc7760 Thank you for your reply. Its only the Auto light that blinks. When I checked the user manual it says its lack of water issue. My hot water valve under the sink is on so my guess is that its the inlet valve. Problem is I cannot see it at the bottom front of the dishwasher so it must be at the back, too much cosmetic plastic to see it. I'll pull the dishwasher out and take it apart, hopefully i remember how to put it back together. If you know where I can find info on a DW80k2021us Samsung how-to-replace inlet valve, kindly let me know :)

      I don’t have a manual for this but if you document how you take it apart you should be fine. Slow and steady I’ve got faith in you! And I checked a quick google search, Samsung says it could be with water inflow or heater circuit.

      Thanks for keeping me updated. Just make sure you turn your water valve back on from under the sink. That’s where they are typically located

      Jc661. Ppg. 29-33 I’ve since used the Eastwood concours 2. So much better. If your doing large panels get that one, but is you are doing isolated small areas and blending the Nieko is all you need.

    Hey H C - I noticed you now got the Concourse. Have you any comparison between the Neiko vs Concourse? The Concourse shoot any better?

      Much much better. I’m actually going to post a video soon that shows the concours in action. Although it’s a video more showing the Neiko spraying some outdoor helmsman urethane I took a minute to show the concourse spray some black on a body panel

    I found if you put clear shipping tape over the gauge it won’t get messed up when cleaning it.

    what kind of paint / clear did you spray here? I think a larger nozzle for the clear might cut down on the overspray.

    just a diy to another diyer, you are spraying too far from the panel, you need to move much closer and your overlap is almost non existent. I can confirm it when you do close ups you have atrocious orange peel due to the distance alone. try it and you will see what I mean
