As someone who has tried chasing down a few roof leaks on low pitch commercial steel buildings with sandwiched style fiberglass roof insulation I can definitely say I'd rather be fixing a head-gasket on one of my Toyota's instead! It's basically a guessing game to figure out where/what is causing the leak, because it soaks the fiberglass insulation and travels to random places on the vapor barrier, usually dripping at a small hole or the seam in the insulation backing 😵💫 I've replaced panels/sealed seams/replaced screws and ridge caps/seals on quite large roof areas and still missed the culprit! I guess if I actually did that for a living I would invest in a thermal camera or a good luck charm 🤣 Good luck on the headgasket job Petr, but I wish even better luck to the roofer trying to find that pesky leak that is disrupting your shop! 😉👍
5 gallon plastic buckets work. They are deep enough that the water doesn't splash out until they are half full. And even then, most of the water stays inside the bucket. Good tip about the gasket kit.
I hate how they do not have a "parts kit" with all the oil seals etc...this must be a *very* new kit and I am still skeptical that it has all of the timing cover and valve cover gaskets. Good to know though. Those parts counter idiots didn't tell me about this about 1-2 months ago
I'm not a professional roofer but trust me finding leaks on commercial steel buildings with sandwiched insulation is often a NIGHTMARE! Based on my personal experiences and personally knowing stories from multiple other steel building owners and metal roof installers/repairmen! One bad screw or ridge seal can eventually cause a steady water drip 20ft over and 30ft down! 😖
Petr, Whatever it takes, you have to keep this Prius V on the road! 🤩

Thank you Peter your time with you is so good
Thanks for sharing do I just go to Toyota parts online or the local branch? I need one for 2012 Prius.
Thanks for your video
Anyone know if the Camshaft seal comes with? Can’t tell if that large one on the bottom right corner is it or if that’s for under oil cap..
Thanks for the information 😊
How much for a job like this
Hoping my '12 CT200h will not need a head gasket replacement for at least four more years.
Need to save up for a 2023+ Prius AWD
Being a roofer in Arcata in December...
Thanks for the video peter
It never rains in southern California ... it storms...

Flat roofs are the most difficult to seal. Nobody likes them
Get rid of the skylights. 😎
My roof leaks and I live in a very cold house = no joke!
Peter, just be glad your roofer doesn't work on cars.

Lemon law for roofs...😉
