Better off replacing the hose that is leaking coolant

He said mechanic brah not plumber

Blissful ,since you're the expert
Answer this for me


Control arm bolt should never be tightened unless loaded as you risk twisting the bushing

How's it done

Not if it's being burned

Question number 2 for blissful

Since he's a decade trained engineer

How do you determine the length of a serpentine belt if you built the engine yourself


I'm waiting for both answers darling

You stick a jack under the lower control arm once connected to the spindle & set the hub to ride height before tightening control arm bolts making sure not to lift the vehicle off of it's lift points, it's about torque pre-load

I'm sure you torqued those to spec too & didn't just crank down on your 1983 Craftsman ratchet out of your tradie satchel



Feel free to write out a home made flow-chart for me on how to find the fault for a DTC telling youFuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit “A” Range/Performance, this stuff is "stupid easy" so it shouldn't be a problem despite 15 possible causes

I'm here for your wisdom






Not reading a single word from your wall of text
Most people don't even know what their tire pressures are supposed to be let alone how to find out despite sitting right next to it in their vehicle

They have no business wrenching on their engines

Trust me, I know when I'm ahead of my depth and wouldn't even think about doing something like a major part replacement. Biggest thing I've replaced is a battery and a headlight in the past. Would take a shot at brakes possibly because judging from what I'm seeing it doesn't look that hard and you know pretty much instantly if you screwed something up. Spark plugs also don't look super difficult if somebody can show me how to do it in a ten minute Youtube video.

I'm just using it as a way to possibly get into a new hobby and also save some serious money considering what mechanics charge for simple things.
