Also my timing seems to be wandering. I need a consistent answer unto what is going on? Could sticking valves be causing the timing to wander?

>>16142060
What do you mean replace the gasket?

Just put it back and call it a day

>>16142060
depending on the vehicle you may beable to re-use the old gasket. a lot of times the old ones break and fuck right off though.

make/model and what exactally is a "sticky valve" problem?

This is what I want to do but car registration where I live is $800 per year.... And if you get pulled over you have to pay an $800 fine plus the registration

It was spring, year 2011. I was 18 with a fresh license and a burning need to get a car. Alas, I didn't really have money.

So by the powers of the internet I discovered an '82 Nissan Sunny being sold by some shady used car dealer. 250€, what a bargain.

It was rusty, ran on three cylinders, didn't really move when it was rainining and liked to overheat a little bit. But I used it to get to work that summer. Despite it's problems, it took me there and back every time.

But come autumn, the job ended and the old shitbox eventually met it's end. Took five minutes to start it and it was really fucking wobbly. So I scrapped it for 10€. Warm memories will always remain. May you run free in the nipmobile heaven, you magnificent piece of shit.

Sadly, no pictures were ever taken.

Can't remember the year, but a Geo Storm GSi I purchased for the princely sum of $300.

>5MT
>300k-ish miles


Bought it solely to drive home from my summer job, intended to kill it autocrossing or something since it seemed reasonably capable. Before I could start doing anything to it to prepare it for AutoX, my brother took it out to run some errands one day and fried the clutch racing an Integra on the streets.

He limped it home and I told him "fuck it, you broke it so find a buyer to offload it."

His mechanic friend bought it for $500, fixed the clutch, and not 500 miles later the engine threw a rod.

I'm so sad I never got to send it to its grave doing something fun.

Because diesel engines are all about fuel economy or they wouldn't exist.

>>16139996
I see you know nothing about rotaries.
They have plenty of torque.
And already rev high.

>>16140011
I meant that the diesel would finally be able to rev above 5000rpm, you illiterate, rotten jew.

once you accept its flaws (which are not a big deal, lets be completely honest) and also understand that mazda could not make the most reliable iteration because normies can't into the slightest bit of maintenance, you realize that it is a really clever design.

If a few manufacturers put their heads together and worked on the sealing it could be a viable option.

Its not the holy grail but by god it is a much smarter design than piston engines

Power/weight isn't a meme. Never was, never will be.
The problem is that people aren't willing to put in the work that the engine requires to be at its best.
And the fuel economy sucks.

Badgewhores and the awd meme

I'm sure they're not too stupid to Google.

Mk4 Golf with a bodykit. Atrocious reliability.
Avoid, avoid, avoid.

They're a golf under the skin.

I drove one a long time ago, around 2002 put so. It was nice enough for what it was.

The problem is that a lot of car batteries don't have the capacity to handle large load appliances like microwaves, water kettles, saws, etc. Does one need to upgrade their battery to draw power from this?

There's a reason why people do an extra cut out and placement of the wall plugs and don't just buy what you linked. They spend hundreds of dollars for that upgrade and not just $30 or whatever for that item for a reason.

I just can't seem to find what that is.

that kinda sounds like valve tick. rod knock sounds more like hammers, and makes the engine shake usually.

but i'm not 100%

whats with all the oil?

>>16144749
Sounds a lot like a valve bent out of shape, do you see smoke from the exhaust when you rev?

Timing belt tensioner?

You guys treat Ford like Linuxfags treat Apple

>They're making a killing
>work for the most part
>happy customers

You guys sit here and bitch and moan all day on an image board about a brand you don't even buy from.

I drive a beat to shit old ranger with a 350 small block Chevy from the 80s.

Everybody builds good shit, you just may not find it all in the same place.
