Car is a 2010 corolla with 180k miles.
I was trying to clean out the OCV filter under the timing side camshaft cap and so I took out the cap, but only loosened the one.
The car has been running fine for the last 2000 miles, but I am worried I fucked things up bad.
Obviously there's no turning back, but how likely is this engine toast soon?
Basically title. Just want to know if it'll go up or down, not too much to ask for imo.
Just wanted to hear if anyone has ever seen sporadic accent delft tiles on a kitchen backsplash?
Specifically I would want them mixed into a backsplash that is either 3x6 or 6x6 brick/off set pattern. About 20 would be placed randomly in approx 200 3x6 tiles.
Ive seen lots of examples for grid pattern, but never an offset.
Has anyone ever DIYd replacing a 2012 corolla 1.8L 2zr fe exhaust manifold? It's pretty damn rusty. The only bolt for the cat flange is gone pretty much, nothing for a socket to grab onto.
The gasket between the manifold and the cat is leaking, as well as the gasket between the manifold and exhaust ports.
Anyone have any guides or videos for this corolla?
I'm planning on adding a backsplash as part of my kitchen Reno. The walls were painted about 2 months ago and are fully cured.
I want to add a backsplash from countertop to the bottom of my upper cabinets (20 inches), and then a full backsplash from stove to ceiling where the range and rangehood would go (8ft x 42 inches).
I plan to use either 3x6 tiles or 5x5 tiles. I plan to sand the walls with 80 grit sandpaper. I wanted to use Mapei Ultra flex 2 or Schlueter all set mortar. Will the walls be able to hold all of that weight?
Do I need to do anything special to prep?

2012 corolla 1.8L 2zr fe looking nice and clean! Definitely some wear but looking good for a car with 260,000 km!

I was trying to find an exhaust leak (found it lol), and I saw this wire at the back of the engine bay. It looks like a chunk has been bitten out. My car is running fine for the most part. Does anyone know what this wire is for, and whether or not it's going to cause me issues?
I think my 2011 2zr fe corolla needs a new cat. I'm specifically looking at an AP Eastern ECO III.
Anyone have experience using one?

I thought it would make sense there would be some slack in the chain as the crankshaft turns (manually).
Car is a 2012 corolla 1.8L with 260,000 km. It runs well but I've noticed some small issues so have been trying to diagnose what's going on.
I did a leak test of the exhaust with soapy water, as the picture shows. I'm guessing this should be fixed.
I've also found that my CATTEMP11 is higher than my CATTEMP12 on the obd2 scan tool. From my understanding that means my upstream cat temp nearest the engine is hotter than after my cat. That means that the cat is failed correct?
Is replacing the exhaust line something that can be reasonably done in a driveway with Jack stands? My biggest worry is the amount of rust in there.
Is this pulley gone bad?

Also the water pump pulley has a very small amount of back and forth play. Not enough to be audible, but it can be felt. I noticed that it doesn't spin freely, but not sure if it's supposed to have some resistance. I imagine the coolant inside gives it some.
Should I replace this pulley, or do I need to replace the alternator altogether?
Hi all,
My main ride, a 2012 corolla with 260,000 km on the odo has recently been having a cold start vvti rattle issue. Since I've owned the car (160,000 km) I've done 8k km oil + filter changes always with full synthetic. I started to notice this issue when I switched to restore and protect.
I'm wondering if the engine sounds normal here? This is fully warmed up.
I've heard that the vvti rattle on cold starts isn't a big issue, and it's only if there are abnormal noises when warmed up that I should do something. Does anything stand out?
I'll be adding crown molding to the upper cabinets to meet flush with the ceiling. There will also be a cover panel scribed to the wall to cover this gap as seen on the open side of the cabinet.
I'm wondering: should the cover panel go straight up to the ceiling, and then the riser panel meet it? Or should the cover panel go up to the top of the upper, and then install the riser panel separately? Essentially do I use the cover panel as a riser?
Hopefully it can be heard! Car is a 2011 with 260,000 kms.
I've been getting this rattle on cold starts. My heat shield is a bit loose so I wasnt sure if it was just that.
I do have a spare timing chain tensioner I can install to see if that helps.
I know it's not the best picture, I took it using a boroscope camera through the exhaust vvti solenoid port. Does anything look off here? Recently I've been hearing a loud rattle at cold start up, and my idle isnt great.

My driveway is compact dirt. What is the safest way to Jack up my car? I'm worried that the jack stands will sink into the dirt, and I need to jack up my car kinda high to get to the heat shield. Is a piece of plywood ok?
