Coolant levels drop with no visible leaks, no white smoke, no milky oil, no bubbles in the radiator, but heat is trapped and coolant tank boils. What does that mean?
I can’t believe how many people fall for this still. If your rotor is doing that, it’s your hub or bearings. Not your rotors. A rotor does not and will not warp under the heat of braking even f you were under track conditions. The vibrations and pulsating you feel when you assume your brakes are “warped” is actually unevenly deposited brake dust material from the pads and different heat cycles. Whether you never bed them properly when you first got them, or you just put new pads on old rotors. There are a lot of ways your rotors can “warp” aka, get deposited unevenly. No brake rotor on a car is warping and running like this animation that simply does not happen unless there was a major accident or you installed them wrong. Rotors are made with high carbon alloys and do not warp. If the rotor actually was doing that with the wheels torqued properly around it, the car wouldn’t even be mildly drivable
This may have solved my problem.. I have a lowered bmw and I flat bottomed getting it into the garage had a glassful of fluid on the ground and nor my wheel wobbles side to side.. today I tightened to tie rod and it helped but there’s still a bit of wobble I’m assuming it lost fluid
straight-6 has heavy engine block, fits between frame rails, makes for long nose, and is inherently balanced. V-6 lighter block (more rigid), packages well in engine bay, inherently unbalanced. Flat-6 is balanced, rigid and compact. but odd for front engine vehicles. All 3 have even firing cranks that fire every 120 degrees.
The benefits of a straight-six is its simplicity by design, typically easier access for general maintenance, and THAT BALANCE. Every straight-six car review ever seemingly has the driver measuring the engine balance with their butt, proclaiming how ~smooth~ the engine idles and the uniform revving. Yea, that’s the good stuff.
