Hi, I recently repaired 3 very small rusty stone chips, used fibre glass pen and went to absolute town, widening the area, there was barely any rust on it to begin with, sprayed it with iron remover afew times, which kept reacting, not reacting, then reacting. wiped it off, put rust converter on it, left 3 hours then touched up, only small portions of the chips actually turned black

Here is the next part, I got paranoid about it and removed the touch ups and redid the rust converter, some sections still turned a dark grey colour, but barely,

I then insanely did this again, and the rust converter 3rd time round turned black in little spots in another sections of the little chips, I’ve touched it up now and called it a day

Why would it keep reacting when I’ve absolutely nailed the chips with fibre glass pen, iron remover & rust converted 3 times, it was shiny bare metal when I was done with pen

Hi guys

I’ve recently acquired a car to flip, 2016 Toyota aygo, it has 23500 miles on the clock. I’d like to keep it however in 2019-2024 15000-21500 miles it wasn’t serviced once, but it only drove 6500 miles in that time, it’s been serviced twice since then

Do you reckon it’s damaged cam lobes & lifters?

There’s no ticking or lifter tick

Cheers

Hi there

I recently purchased a 2016 toyota aygo with 23k miles on the clock
I really want to keep it rather than sell flip however it went 5 years without a service, but only drove 6500 miles in that time, mile history tracks at about 1300 a year ,

Serviced at 15k miles 2019 then serviced again 21.5k miles 2024

Do you reckon this has done any damage to the car? There isn’t any noises or ticking I can hear and it drives fine

I have a 2019 corsa E 1.4 NA with 34500 miles, the entire top end of the engine, chain + guides, camshafts & lifters followers and cylinder head or top engine block are all being replaced under warranty due to some wear on camshaft journal, snapped timing guide ( hasn’t destroyed anything car ran fine before taking it to dealer for diagnosis)

Once I have all this done would it be wise to get rid of it? Do you reckon any metal got into cylinder and scored walls, I did an oil change 500ish miles ago after a 1600 mile trip round Scotland and there was 0 sparkles or pieces in oil and filter, doesn’t burn oil or anything no loss power

I only took it in for valvetrain tick and it’s spiralled
