Timing was completely off on this 2004 Nissan Xtrail. We opened it only to find out the chain links have stretched and adjuster going all the way down. Hence, we had to replace the Primary and Secondary Timing chain, Rail guides, Variable intake Valve timing cover , crank shaft oil seal and sealant to get this vehicle on the road back again.

Happy Staying Dirty!!!

Valve cover packing was leaking so we had to replace the packing. This is a 2010 Toyota Avensis 100k mileage with lots of carbon built deposits in the crankcase.

Correct oil spec. Is 5w-20 but oil used is 20w-50. ( There is need to educate peeps on the OEM's recommended oil grade).

This engine has been poorly maintained and oil change is over due for the next service.

Stay Dirty.

5 Signs Your Brakes Need Repair

Have you ever approached a stop light and wondered why your foot’s traveling farther down toward the floor as you braked? That’s a sure-fire sign that your car’s brakes need some work. But do you know what kind of repair?

5 Signs Your Brakes Need Work or Replacing:

==> Brakes Fading/Sinking: A non-responsive or “sinking” brake typically indicates a leak in the system, leading to a loss in brake fluid pressure.

==>Brakes Grinding/Growling: This loud metallic sound indicates pads that are completely worn down and are scratching or scouring the rotors. This is not good. Get to a mechanic, hopefully in time to avoid major damage to your rotors.

==>Vehicle Pulls when Braking: Vehicle pulls to one side when the brake is applied. This indicates uneven wearing of the brake pads, or potentially foreign matter in the brake fluid. If you have to replace a brake pad, it’s wise to do both sides at once to ensure even wear and reduce likelihood of pulling.

==>Brakes Squealing: A high pitched noise that occurs regularly when the brakes are applied. This may mean you need new brake pads, or if your pads are in good shape, try having a mechanic apply Teflon shims. Popular Mechanics’ Mike Allen explains a bit more in depth here.

==>Vehicle Vibration: A pulsation felt when the brake is applied. If felt in the pedal and steering wheel, it’s often the front brakes. If felt in the pedal and seat, it is often the rear brakes.
