I wouldn't do it if it survived break-in.

This is a classic example of one of my mantras "It'll either break right away or it'll last forever."

For these springs the first component of the curve dominates. Especially, those engines that survive cold start in Minnesota and Illinois in the next few days.

I would think that if a valve spring was going to come unsprung, it would have done it within the first 5 years - Besides, you know how many of those pneumatic screen/storm door closers you have ran across - that have failed? Now, compare that to the old screen door closing springs that have worked for years and still work. humfrz |

I would double check that. I was told by the service advisor at the Toyota dealer where I had my recall done that if you avoid the job and your engine blows as a result, they may not actually cover it. Don't know where the legality stands on that, but I thought I'd pass this along.

Valve spring recall - CEL and Slip Light now on
Quote:
No, sounds like all they did was replace a bad OCV. There is one on each gear and to troubleshoot you swap OCV’s between banks to see if the CEL follows. If it follows then you know you have a bad OCV. Most likely they cracked the connector on one while handling your timing cover. OCV = Oil Control Valve. They are referring to it as a solenoid because that is what it is. The OCVs work in a feedback loop. They pulse on and off at different rates of speed which controls the flow of oil into the gear while monitoring the cam angle sensors. If the ECU wants a specific angle and doesn’t see the result it expects in the cam angle sensor within a specific amount of time it throws the slow response CEL for the bank in error. |

AND WE’RE BACK KIDS!!
Two weeks after I got my car a second time following my check engine light problem my car has died on me. Quick little background information...I was driving home on the highway and went to downshift to pass a car. As I did I heard some clanking sound and knew immediately something wasn’t right so I started to pull over. Oil light came on followed by everything else. As I pulled over my car started to die and it did. Couldn’t start it at first and when it finally cranked there was a loud knocking sound. Shut it off immediately. Got it towed to the dealership I had it serviced for the recall so I’ll be waiting to talk to them tomorrow |
