Possible but not likely. Tho Grey/silver smoke does indicate itās burning oil so youāre on the right track. The condition of your plugs will tell you more. Keep an eye on it after you replace the valve cover and gasket and go from there. Also try to measure how much oil youāre burning in between oil changes. Everyone will say a different amount so base it off your experience since you first got the car.
Thatās a strange setup. Long distance for compressed air to travel. Long distance for exhaust gas to travel. That has to add up. And Iād assume turbos are after catsā¦. Complicated setup. What supposed to be the benefit
Iād give a good engine wash and let the car run for a bit and see if you notice a new trail. Sometimes the valve cover gasket can get kinked or not seat properly causing it to leak. Try getting another angle on it and taking the engine cover off.
Entry level mech so havenāt really had time or made enough to invest so all I have is Harbor freight. The earthquake 1/2 impact buzzes off axel nuts with little effort but itās exceedingly heavy and huge compared to snap-on or Milwaukee. The earthquake electric ratchet is also okay and hasnāt died on me yet but it lacks a light and can be bulky at times. Lastly I use the Bauer impact driver for screws and bolts and after about 4 years the 1.5Ah battery is finally starting to crap out. You definitely get what you pay for but I own them all and they have made their worth back several times over. However thatās soon going to change as I have my first Snap-on 3/8 impact on order.
Iām running it in mine and havenāt had any issues. After I switched from mobil1 trans fluid, the shifting smoothed out and the 5 gear grind isnāt as prominent.
Could be a clogged heater core or something not right in your coolant system. Or maybe your temperature blend door isnāt working correctly. This happened to me after I changed out my radiator and had air in the system
Giving me Tron remake vibes ! I agree with most tho, sharper edges up top and maybe something to fill in the space in the middle? Just donāt know what
Yikes. For rust contaminants before using clay bar, get yourself some iron-x or similar. Itās safe for clear and will help reduce the chances of adding more scratches or defects. I would suggest some deeper research and watching some DIY videos before moving forward with trying to fix this. Good luck š¤š½
I got a friend that can weld ima have to ask him, I found this pipe extractor set off a bmw forum for the same issue so ima try that first but yea it did, thanks a lot for taking the time to help
He says in the video āI donāt know if I was lucky but this wasnāt hard to takeout at allāš fuck man I wish. What would I do bro I tried muscling it. Maybe some wd40? Like Iām not doin anything wrong itās just stuck as fuck and I donāt wanna break it inside the engine.
Yeah could never go wrong with some WD40. But if it rotates even just a little it really isnāt āstuck.ā Hey at least you donāt have a 06 revup which has 4 cam sensors lol if you cant get it, sleep on it a while. Sometimes it helps to step back and come back refreshed.
Ah dang š. Well hopefully the others donāt go bad yet. If you cant get it in there with a short flathead, maybe try a longer one? Its a twisting motion if you can get between the sensor and the port and using some WD40. Good luck man
You can troubleshoot which cylinder is misfiring. Most likely its a bad coil, spark plug, or fuel injector. I had a misfire and it turned out to be a bad coil. Cost me 275 at the dealer. I would only recommend OE bc Zs can be picky when it comes to parts. Whenās the last time you changed your plugs?
This was happening to me for the longest time, turns out the diaphragm springs on the pressure plate werenāt fully releasing resulting in that āhalf-cockedā feel of the pedal. When I went in and replaced the clutch, I loosened the pressure plate and it popped back with a bit of force. Havenāt had an issue since (stage two CZP clutch kit replaced with stage one). Realize thatās not the case for everyone but I had changed out my slave and bled the master before hand and the problem persisted. Iād do what everyone else is suggesting and start with the easier to do tasks before jumping straight into replacing your clutch
I know lots of people shit on flatbed scanners, but they are useful if you want to have one scanner that can accommodate both 35mm film and medium format film. Another good thing with flatbed scanners is that they can also be used to scan other items like documents, printed photographs, and other non-transparent items. Something like a used Epson v550 or v600 would probably be pretty handy for a college student to have, in addition to scanning your negatives. You can find these used or refurbished for less than your $200 budget. There is also the option of downloading a free copy of Silverfast software for your Epson scanner. It's much better than the standard Epsonscan software.

Dope
So is there essentially no more clear protecting the base coat?

Look up @ratrodcolt on IG.
Yuma Marine base?

Can be your valve cover or the VVT solenoid which is that thing under the ground wire. Hard to tell from this picture tho
Damn.. this feels actually pretty heavy

Why do I have to be over seas š this is an absolute steal.

Still better than salad fingers.

A sponge did that ?
Yeah it sucks it was one of those dishwasher sponges and I used the green side, all I wa trying to do was get the rusted contaminants off

Niiiice lol

My Z is an 06 touring roadster so I think it does have the revup

I havenāt changed my plugs since I bought it. It was pre owned
Then that would be a good place to start.
