    557HP 2024 Chevy Blazer SS REVEALED!

    The majority of the timing chain issues are with the LY7 and earlier versions of the LLT 3.6L engine. By the 2012 model year, GM had made several changes to help address the timing chain issues the 3.6L engine was having. Although vehicles after the 2012 model year may still have timing chain...

    My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

    ...to have the 6 speed, but I understand size and weight restrictions. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be perfect!! (2) That is great news. It's been quite a while since I last worked on a Honda 1.5L engine and my '91 had a timing belt. It's good to see that Honda went to a timing chain.

    Jokes! ( Not Necessarily Work Safe )

    A young man with his pants hanging half off his ass, two gold front teeth & a half inch thick gold chain around his neck, walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job, I...

    What Is Elio Stock Trading For Today?

    I don't think many reservationists would consider putting more money into Elio's hands. The lack of trust is well deserved.

    Okay, so since I have some time, here's my thoughts on the Overstock Q3 Call. But first, here's the link to the actual slides used in the report: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4283689-overstock-com-inc-2019-q2-results-earnings-call-slides I'll be copy/pasting the bits I found to be...

    Just Wow!!!

    ...all new clean sheet of paper engines have reliability problems early on. This is why I previously mentioned the E888 motor which had timing chain, balance shaft and intake plugging issues. None of those items would be more reliable if it was a non turbo. BMW had problems with injectors on the...

    Just Wow!!!

    ...chance that's the motor you get. It comes in a 1.4l 150hp unit all the way to a 2.0l 300hp unit. The issues for the E888 motor have been timing chain related. That was in the Gen 1 engines. Only other issues have been plugged up intake valves. Again, another Gen 1 issue. Today they are on Gen...

    ...with two guide rails. It just ran the two cams and that's it. Never a problem and I never even hear of a problem with that engine and timing chains. VW owns the controlling interest in IAV. So when I heard the Elio was going to have a timing belt, I knew that was the way to go because IAV...

    VW/Audi have had their fair share of timing chain issues. Just like that Audi engine, the VR6 VW engine has the chains on the back. So you can either pull the transmission and then with the engine disassembly, you are 98% of the way to just pulling the motor. So, it's just better to pull the...

    Very good observations. So they might not even have one engine ready?

    ...two different engines. One looks exactly like engine installed in the black car where it has a sealed area on the front that indicates a timing chain (remember when they told us it had a chain). Then the other one looks like one that has a plastic belt cover on it (remember when they told us...

    65,000 miles on my F350 yet and the brakes still have a LOT of Mike's left on them (original set). Oil changes are every 10,000 miles. ICE maintenance will never be as simple as EV maintenance of course. My only experience with EVs was the original Prius that I bought used... Had to replace...

    I have to agree do a degree, 1) I just got the 2017 Dodge Journey, and they say to change oil at 10,000 miles intervals; when I do, it will get Castrol Synthetic, and haven't figured out what filter I want to use yet, was Fram, but there are some new ones I'm looking at. 2) Plugs? I'll usually...

    ...brakes...still on 2nd set... original lasted over 62k. So only 1 replacement so far. 4. Need to do timing belt soon! ELIO will have a timing chain...no replacement. 5. Catalytic converter & automatic transmission? Didn't do either on a 210,000 mile retired Toyota Echo & don't expect to on...

    Financial sense is a moving target. I spend over $3k in gas a year with my old truck, so it would make financial sense. Also consider that the routine maintenance on an ICE is generally more costly than an EV in the first 100K. The average consumer dose NOT do their own car maintenance so...
