You should talk to YT and get them to put your older videos from your other channel under this channel.

Once again your the man

You would be best to compression chsck the cylinders before isolating the cylinders

Very useful! Thanks

Good to see you again, looking well.

Ye, it might not be a bad head gasket, but the other two options are even worse.

It could also be something like an EGR cooler

It is a common engine. 3MZ-FE. Used in the Camry, Highlander, and many other Toyotas for many years, including the Highlander Hybrid through 2010.

Nice

What is powders made of?

There's a mystery regarding how that blue fluid works, but on learning about it the reaction is more simple than I would have guessed. The organic compound in the fluid reacts with CO2 to turn yellow. That's leads to a convenient way to verify the fluid is still good. All you have to do is blow into it with a straw, there is CO2 in your breath. I've often wondered if a crack in a water cooled turbo might give a similar positive result.

Bro once i was your patreon on youtube, you never acknowledge me😢

Is there like a contractual obligation for auto shops to be red, white/silver, and black?

The automotive industry is such a wreck. Too few can afford the insane costs right now of both used and new with the prior usually being a bag of worms because you're always paying more than what the vehicle is worth when comparing the costs to those we enjoyed years before (i.e. - a 2016 Silverado with 176k miles for sale for $17k). Because of this, the natural instinct of many is to do whatever they can to keep their older model vehicles running. This is also problematic for multiple reasons. To start with, when a major problem happens, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find replacement parts when necessary, especially since the Big Manufacturers are doing everything they can to discontinue production of replacement parts for older vehicles sooner rather than later in their ongoing efforts to attrition consumers into their EV panaceas. Secondly, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find qualified shops who employ seasoned mechanics who can do major work, like timing chain repairs or entire engine swaps, etc. and at a cost that's acceptable by most consumers who are already pinching their pennies. But here's the irony: if customers aren't buying dealership inventory, it will force dealerships to either restructure or have major fire sales because if they don't do that, then the problems are punted upstream to the Big Manufacturers who won't be able to sell their product to enough dealerships to sustain their daily operations, which will either force them to lay people off themselves, move operations to other countries, or else nip in the bud either their ongoing EV initiatives and or their overall insane cost models--maybe all of the above. It's going to be interesting to see what all happens in the next few years. My bet is that we're in store for some great deals if people can just hold on long enough to wait out the storm. At least, that's my hope and this comes from someone who recently did an engine swap with a re-manufactured inline 4 for a 2006 Chevy Colorado that's been an experience from hell and for all of the aforementioned reasons and more.

This test is not very accurate
