solution: sell your mk4 and buy a couple, or one really really nice mk3! hehe.. j/k.

i forgot to tell him. sorry guys. lol..... look what i've done!:cry: :icon_mad: :icon_mad: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

hmmm, that sounds like its definitely possible. i'll remove the covers and check, and check the bolts for tightness while i'm in there. i've been meaning to do that. (i had them at like...70ft/lbs so they should be ok, and no, they arent new so shouldnt have stretched) ____edit--------- its...

haha...yep. i bet silver sniper is even more frustrated now. hehe

HAHAHAHAHA

i'm not sure. pretty sure its stock... the only things i know off that breathe the valve covers are the t-shaped pipe out the tops of each to the throttle body, and the breather hose from the crankcase to the drivers side cover. cyro - ok good point.

lol

first line - uhh...i think my car may have had two BHG's...not sure. either way, it runs great. or at least, it did when i turned it off 4 days ago second line - great. just what i need. doubtful. possible. but probably not. i have the old headgasket, and it was blown to shit on #5 and...

i hate it when people post while i'm typing, making my words almost completely redundant :cry:

lol.... yeah when i first saw it... "wtf? my car runs on bird power and the bird must be sick...darn?" it took me like 5 minutes to figure out what it meant. it looks like a radiator, but only after you stare at it or know ahead of time, and it still looks like an old-fashoned design or...

wow, that sounds complicated. lol, that is just directions for cleaning the lobes right? not polishing them? i'm not too worried... but i am curious why the hell this happened. maybe moisture trapped since the BHG? when it blew i took an air compressor (with moister barrier) and blew out...

well. i guess i'll do that then. i dont want to buy a new filter...the one i have is relatively new. i might change the oil though, and if i do that i will probably get a new filter as well. damn it. ok. umm....i'm going to push it in the garage (not sure how) and look under the covers...

its not in the garage.... and its getting dark. i might HAVE to.

yeah.... GOD this sucks i have so much homework. maybe i'll let it sit until friday and figure out what to do. i hate this.

i could click the starter a few times and get it to revolve once....see how well it wipes off.... i already clicked the starter a couple times to get the lobe to turn (didnt even revolve once, just wanted a better view) ----EDIT--- is HAS had a BHG before. new oil....fresh after BHG rebuild...

well all i can see is this one lobe obviously....and.... i really dont want to remove the cam covers. no time. it does look scary, but pay most attention to the last pic. it seems to come off relatively easy, whereas the first pic looks like a rusted piece of metal from a junkyard.....

yep my guess is air is working its way out of the cooling system...after a coolant change this will happen, and it replaces the lost air with coolant, depleting the overflow. dont get too excited, i think you're ok.

on my way home the other day the car was leaking some coolant out of a pinhole leak in the rear engine-valve heater hose... i shut it off, get the mail, and 30 seconds later its steaming out the hood. dripping coolant onto exaust downpipe. no biggie...need new hose. its been about 5-6 days...

personally i'd just put water in it in a pinch, but you might consider adding some coolant in the mix. -----------EDIT----------- i'm not sure if plain distilled water would be bad... its best to add coolant to even out the mix somewhat similar to whats in the radiator and such, but for the...

what about for aluminum rims? mine are in desperate need of a shine, they're dull and have spots of...oxidation? if anyone knows some really good stuff that will restore neglected aluminum, let me know. polishing from an already clean/relatively reflective surface is one thing...this is...
