Not very often that our work requires us to rescue animals. A mother cat had her kittens in the front bumper of a Toyota Highlander. So we removed the kittens. There are five of them.

We wanted to showcase one of our loaner vehicles. This is a 2012 Honda Odyssey. We have two loaner vehicles, but the other, an 06 Toyota RAV4, that is out right now.

Here is a camshaft Daron pulled today out of a Dodge 5.7L Hemi. Pictures #1 and #2 are roller valve lifters. #1 is bad and #2 is normal. If you’ll notice, #1 has sharp and flat edges compared to #2. In the third picture is shown the camshaft. Where the arrow points to the bad, the flattened valve lifter has bees steadily grinding the cam lobe flat. It should look like the “Normal” one.
We noticed looseness in some of the other rollers, which are on their way to look like the bad one.

This oil filter has been in use for too long. Notice how it is wrinkled. That is because it is overloaded with broke down oil particles. We recommend a 5000 mile oil and filter change interval to protect your engine so it can last longer and run better. Sometimes, like in this case, we recommend an engine cleaning that can breathe new life into the motor.
