    Great work. It's always good to see what someone is getting into when they decide to repair and maintain their vehicles.

    I have a 2007. We were in a serious accident in 2022. The insurance company totaled my car. I refused to let it go even though "Tuffy" had 225,000 miles on her. She had been a fantastic car for well over ten years. The pickup is incredible. So, I had the rear wheel axle replaced so I could drive her. No one - no one - wanted to work on the body - severe damage in the rear bumper. I have finally found someone willing to swap out her bumper. This is how much I loved this car. You can't go wrong with Pontiac Vibe.

    Got an 02 with 127000 miles. 50 psi compression in one of my cylinders. Any suggestions?

  • @randomtallguyvlogs6756
    @randomtallguyvlogs675618 күн бұрын

    It could be many things like head gasket leaks, valves not sealing, or worn piston rings. You can add oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and retest. If it is still 50 psi then it could be the valves or head gasket.

    some interesting socket/wrench sizes involved, sounds easier just to cut through the bolts, but they're all grade 8, right? 36mm 6point socket for the axle nut 24mm 21mm 15mm 18mm 10mm

    I have 2004 ion 2. Bought it new. Has 114,000 miles. Had some kind of ignition issue at 95k. Cracked a valve. Cracked valve took out valve seat. The head doesn't have valve seats. So had to put a new head on it. I almost wrote it off. Can nearly purchase a car for the price of that repair. They replaced the timing chain when that happened. Didn't mention any other parts. Tensoner or guides. Did run quieter after all that. Less clicking. Oh, also got new spark plugs. They were really filthy. I didn't get to see them though. I replaced my arm rest with a thing from Saturn that didn't have the padded rest. Just a place to set some sun glasses. The rest kept getting in the way. Couldn't shift without hitting my elbow. My rear seat releases don't latch.

    I just changed mine out today. What a big difference. Thanks for this vid. Who ever welded that control arm in your video should go back to school lol . I need to change out the wishbone control arm in the rear. There is so much chattering in the rear when going over street cracks or bumps. So far changing out the front lower CA makes a big difference

    QUESTION. Did you have easy access to remove the oil pan with all that removed? I want to do front suspension like you did as well as replace the gasket on my oil pan. Thanks!

  • @randomtallguyvlogs6756
    @randomtallguyvlogs67562 ай бұрын

    Yes, definitely if you’re gonna remove the front differential like I did, that would definitely create a lot of space for you to remove the oil pan.

    I am fairly certain you Installed the fulcrum bolts and push rods wrong. After you install the rocker arm fulcrum bolt and pushrod you then turn the crankshaft until the lifter is all the way down then tighten the fulcrum bolt to the torque listed in the chapter's specification in two stages. You cant just instal the rods without moving the lifters that they sit in.
