Uh yeah... Sounds like you are actually missing the valve. The oil is finding a much easier path back to the pan through the wide open port the valve is no longer blocking. Pick up a new one from the dealer and check your bearings....not a good start for an engine.

Unless there are some contaminates in the bore hanging up the valve, it should slide out with almost no effort. I highly doubt there isn't one inside but anything is possible. Use a small extension magnet to reach into the bore and pull it out. Don't rely on the magnet strength at the end of the...

Got my new parts for different style oil cooler setup :D No more full flow cooler w/ 10ft of lines before oil gets to engine. Using stock oil filter housing w/ cooler pressure relief removed and plugged. Separate thermostatically controlled pump/cooler/filter/assembly, all 1 unit & all aluminum...

Silver its going to sound strange but TireRack has better pricing and free shipping on these brake parts. Beats out Rockauto. Rockauto used to be my 1 stop shop, but has that has changed lately, mainly due to pricing and shipping costs. Edit that: Pricing must have changed since I last looked...

Its a lot more than rust just looking ugly on the hat & vanes. Over time the rust can cause lots of different drivability & rotor structural integrity issues. All OEM rotors now use a type of coating or plating on them to keep rust from developing for good reason. Cheap plain rotors from brick &...

Centric Blanks can be had for fairly cheap as a Brembo replacement. ~$60ea They also offer a Cyro treated rotor for not much more. For me its a toss up between Centric and Brembo, they both make an excellent product.

I do these and many other projects on the side Grandavi. (when I have time outside of work and family) One gets shipped out tomorrow.

I finished rebuilding 3 more differentials. Woo! All received the same treatment. Thought it would look cool to line them up. Next rusty pile up for rebuild! Might get to this one at some point too.

Have you pressure checked the coolant system while the engine is at operating temp? FYI the combustion pressure exceeds the coolant pressure by 70x or more. So you may not be able to replicate the leak in reverse, trying to push 15 psi from the coolant jacket past the fire ring into the...

Great news! I might have to dig out my TEMS actuators again & swap back to the stock system. :D

I bet there is at least a few in collections someplace in Japan. Hopefully nowhere near where the last Tsunami came through. The trick is to find out where....

If that's the case, then did you find the root cause as to why it came out of place?

Save yourself from repeat failure and buy a new snap ring...

You revved the engine unloaded?

There is a lot that can go wrong with the CPS. Glad to hear you were able to narrow it down to the root cause. Hopefully it continues to start reliably.

You are positive of the CPS health? Air Gap, resistance values, no brittle wiring, cps connector integrity ect... Any bits of rust/metal shavings inside the CPS stuck to the pickups or teeth?

morganson aren't you running 6 individual aftermarket coils wired in series?
