Welldone

That is because you use oil during service....

consigliori (consigliori) 2019-03-08 19:39:10 +0500 #268

Please do not use oil for undercarriage engine etc. Petrol pressure wash once a year is enough

Gr8. That is why I follow u so closely Tintin baba as you are a sensible person. Do petrol pressure wash once a year. Undercarriage and engine

I experimented the diesel spray on a scrap SP prado. Nothing seemed to happen for 6 months. But then the rubber parts (boots and rubber pieces above and below springs, etc etc) started to come off in small flakes. The rubber goliaan inside suspension (hockey)and rod end rubber parts seemed to be unaffected. But since they are also rubber based, so cud have got damaged after maybe another 6 months.
So i think this diesel spray kills the rubber parts.

Bro remember, oil eats up rubber. I specifically wrote petrol and that too only once a year. All grime, oil residue etc is washed away with petrol pressure wash. It is also good in the sense that after a petrol pressure wash if you keep a close eye you get to know whether there are any leakage etc.

Wheres the fun then?

seriously I ROFL on a petrol spray wash - the autoignition risk is not slightly far, its literally there. I would suggest running with a small ball bearing in hand.

When you have run far enough, look through the ball bearing, if you see the entire building compound where your vehicle is being washed through that little hole, Be assured that you are at a safe distance.

This is too much sealant on the pan, it will end up in the transmission filter, just a bead about 5mm wide is enough - and apply it such that the bead rolls around the holes inwards, I cannot start to tell you how much RTV worms I have found in automatic transmission filters.

btw - that debris you are showing.. Is it actual dirt? or just clutch material mud? Doesnt look like clutch material to me. If it is dirt then you have a venting problem.

That s the cyclone air filter piece, the gasket you see is nothing more than a foam rubber bead, You will find this on the diesel corollas too. This thing is usually for 3rd world countries or offroad purpose vehicles. Its literally called a dust cup and is required to be cleaned out every month or so.

Yep! Agreed +1.
When pan is fitted and torqued to the right amount this will be too much! Even if you have given it the right amount of time to dry, there's possibility of small chunks breaking off and mixing with the oil...(the smaller the chunks - the harder the break off)

This is taken from a Honda Fit's Service Manual but I think this applies to almost every car...

The stuff you see squeezing out also is on the inside of the transmission, which is really bad news, when the RTV dries and rubberizes - the outside one wont care - the inside one is constantly being splashed with hot oil which will eventually break it off and it will get stuck in the strainer.

This is why the type and amount of sealant is critical. Just a very very small smidge of sealant oozing out is acceptable or paint it on (if your applicator allows) You are not supposed to pile it up.

I posted here a long time back when I repaired my camry engine, I used GM sealant in a caulking tube and laid a very thin bead. That engine is still bone dry till today and its already driven more than 100,000 kms after that repair job. And that car gets no care, its parked under a tree, driven 130 kms everyday - and washed once a month only. Oil gets changed with cheap 5w30 (discount wala) after 7000 kms.
