Good show! Yippee!

Rip to that GPU. Had this console for 20 yrs. How do I get a replacement that can keep some of my data?😢

I apologize for the bad photos, I thought this subreddit allowed video. Even when not driving, it’s like I’m getting these weird green dots and lines. Any ideas on what it could be? GPU going bad? Disk drive? What do yall think?

Any ideas on how to improve the vibes? It’s just a small hallway but I’m kinda liking it

As the title says, I bought one of those aluminum valve cover replacements off of Amazon and installed it today.

My first valve cover’s diaphragm burst from the PCV system issue, so I got that CruzeKits PCV fix thing and got a new valve cover.

My second one started leaking oil pretty bad, so I got this new aluminum one and a new gasket to make sure there isn’t going to be any more warping issues.

Well, after I installed this third one, the Check Engine Light came on and the engine started having a rough idle. Sure enough, the CruzeKits plug that is supposed to cover the old check valve in the intake manifold has broken off. I guess the epoxy I had on there didn’t stay, or something of that sort.

So, my next steps are to plug that hole (again) and replace the valve cover. I guess I’ll also check the CruzeKits external check valve to make sure that’s not broken either.

I’m going to buy a new intake manifold (so it’s clean), then do that “ported intake manifold” upgrade (just gonna dremel the walls away myself), and plug that hole while it’s clean. This way, I can assure it’s dry and solid and have more confidence in it, plus I can port the intake manifold for the like 10whp boost.

My question to y’all is, do these aluminum valve covers have replaceable diaphragms? I saw there were screws on the inside of the valve cover. I am wondering if I need to buy a whole new one or if I can just swap those out. Just wondering if that was an upgrade added to these or if they have the same problem as the plastic ones.
