When I got the car, I wasn’t sure what the previous owner used, so I went with HM oil just to be safe. If there’s no harm in keeping it, I can probably stick with it. 1-10 How would you rate the difficulty of replacing the oil pump without removing the engine, assuming replacing the timing belt...

After removing the lower timing cover, I can basically confirm the leak is from the top of the oil pump

Which tensioner pulley are you referring to? Are you asking about the timing belt tensioner pulley with the washer I mentioned? I followed the OTRAMM channel and didn't see the guy seal that bolt. I removed the fan clutch, crankshaft pulley, and lower timing cover to inspect the lower area of...

No, I don’t think I did this I also realize that I could miss installing the tensioner pulley washer, do tkt021 come with the washer or I have to reuse the old one?

A month ago, I replaced the timing belt and crank seal on my vehicle. While doing so, I noticed some minor rust on the crankshaft, which I cleaned off and applied a thin layer of RTV (FIGP) around it. I believe the installation was done properly. (OEM seal from partsouq) However, the oil leak...

Some people tell me it's normal sound from the valvetrain, but it will decrease when the engine warms up

It seems to be more popular in the older LC. I can't find any information about them in the 100 series. Any thoughts?

Good Chinese products have their brand name, and it's not cheap at all.

It's very strange that when I was at the dealership, the fluid was leaking extremely fast, with the reservoir emptying within 10 minutes. I tried twice, and it leaked completely just from starting the car and letting it sit there. However, when I brought the car home and parked it in my garage...

I just took it back and decide to replace it myself, No idea why the parts is almost double the price than US, I’ll order from US no with no doubt

I checked the engine bay and took the first two pictures. Do you think this pipe is popped? The guy says there's nothing wrong with this pipe. The third picture shows them trying to show me the fluid was from the pump
