Have been doing quite a bit of work lately. Removed valve covers and found I had new type tensioners. While inside I determined one Vvt was broken. Yes, broken in half. Ordered new vvts gaskets and all seals. Also found a coolant leak I thought was valley hoses but when removed they looked new along with other hoses. Finally decided leak was from around water pump area so ordered everything new. Water pump, tower, thermostat, all hoses, seals, and gaskets. Put together and no codes or leaks can be found.

 

Kudos to you! On the road again!

Good call on the cooling system - replace the lot.

Too often there's posts about one component fixed only to find the next weakest one fails soon after and so on.

For no more than the parts cost while I was I that deep I thought I could not go wrong.
