Good job on the focus, reminds me of my high school days trying to race anything wanting to go at the stop lights lol

Pull out the dipstick while at idle and tell me if the chirping noise stops.

Lol just give it some time. I'm willing to bet you'll have coolant issues and PCV issues before you reach 80k miles. Good luck and god speed

https://www.cruzetalk.com/threads/coolant-leak-no-visible-leak.209410/#post-2945754 This is what the area around my exhaust manifold looks like.. apparently I'm not the only 1 to have issues with no CEL and no overheating. The coolant on my pistons isn't a lot..theres no pooling ot anything...

Well, I have bad news. I ended up fixing the valve cover and then took off the intake manifold and cleaned it up, one of the issues was caused by the gasket leaking. The check valve in the manifold worked great but the gasket caused all this mess... I replaced the gasket and reassembled, car...

Hmm, so discount tire is giving 10% off 4 new tires for black Friday...and it's not something you get initially... you'll get it in the mail later on lol.

Yea I made sure that was good

Checked the plugs. 2 of them look almost brand new on the insulator. The far right one closest to the battery is not burning right. Wonder what's going on. Plugs have 100 miles on them. I did idle for a minute before shutting her off to let the turbo oil cool

She explained it as money in vs money out. If an area has more accidents etc then the residents have to pay more. Makes sense.. just raising one persons premium for an accident isn't going to cover what progressive paid out on a claim... atleast not short term.

I use progressive, I've always lived outside city limits in the country and I moved a few months ago to the next town but still in the country and my insurance rate dropped $40 on the 6 month premium lol. I only moved 8 miles away! I was talking to a rep trying to fish more discounts and she...

I buttoned her back up, the orange nipple is still in the intake manifold and the corrugated hose with the check valve at the turbo inlet is operating as it should. Since this cam cover and gasket was new I decided to roll the dice and reinstall it. I took it apart and cleaned the cover/gasket...

Look how much sealant there is. I also noticed a lot of black streaks, is it the old gasket or what?

Okay, I took the cam cover off and the engine is clean, no sludge that I can see, I noticed the dealership smothered the rtv sealant on and it's a mess. I also noticed a green colored film or fluid. Not sure what it is. It's on the bolts and timing chain along with the top of the cover, any...

It is what it is, I'll order a new one and fix it myself

I opened her up this morning, you can see the gasket wet. Run your finger along the head and cover and its wet around the spark plug wells. Doesn't look like it was tightened down evenly as in some spots there is more of a clearance than others. Looking at the engine, the left cylinder is the...

Bro, it's the same dealer I bought the car from and did the repair that is leaking worse now than before. I called another dealer that was 30 miles away in the next town but they had a 2 month wait time for service. I contacted gm again and sent pictures of the new valve cover and gasket...

Check your intake manifold for the orange nipple, the check valve for vacuum. This correlates with the PCV system and no matter how many times you change the valve cover and PCV diaphragm, this intake manifold will keep causing issues. Search intake manifold / pcv system to find a variety of...

Lmao, valve cover was leaking under the oil fill cap... minor leak... they replaced the cover and gasket and now my spark plug wells are filling with oil. It's actually leaking worse now after they repaired it and in new areas.

I found 1 of my contracts, says new vehicle.
