So, I just had the engine mounts replaced today, and by chance I was re-adjusting/re-checking some things tonight(the rear mount’s bolt wasn’t torqued down at the shop or something, oops, no harm no foul) but all is well until…[i][b]coolant lThanks for sharing your experience._x000D_

Well, I’m in the process of trying to see the source leak, but so far no success. I used a mirror to observe from topside, the water pipe into the thermostat housing. I don’t see any leaks, and I cant see any runningUPDATE:_x000D_

It turns out the leak on the ground was the new oil filter with a poor seal at the gasket. So, looks like I can’t use that type of oil filter._x000D_

Replaced all 5 mounts, 2 were broken. 1 was dry rotting. The “transmission side” mounts were looking okay but also beginning to show signs of stress._x000D_

I’m thinking EGR, but first I’ll reset the base idle. The mechanic today, a long-time Honda guy, saw the idle screw covered inA friend that was helping with more ‘data gathering’ did pressure test the cooling system, and I believe he was washing down some of the gunk around the side of the block; exhaust side. However, this intake side of the block has this area is very hard to

As for your oil interval habits, the only way to know if what you are doing is fine is to get a Used Oil Analysis.There is a poster over on BITOG that did a lot of work on a sludged 98 Toyota, IIRC. Therefore, for starters pulling a valve cover is a must, IMO.
