Are you talking about my video of the water bucket of water on the engine? It's exactly the same as vlt's video.
I'll have to figure out how i can set up Dropbox, iCloud,Utube etc.
Not the brightest blub in the box here..

Take video with your phone, hit the share option and it will bring youtube up as one of the options along with tweeter , facebuk, email etc.

Normal 5 cyl noise/vibrations in the video.

I think so too
Maybe I'll have to try it in the cabin.

Normal engine vibration but if engine mounts shifted it might be transmitting more vibration than previously into the frame.
If the rear view mirror is blurry I'd change the mounts, if not I'd try ignoring it.

I just replaced all the motor mounts and subframe bushings the subframe was skewed about a quarter inch plus but got it centered once all thelse bolts were loosen .
Tomorrow I'm going to try vlt's idea of disconnect the the steering shaft. .
All I can tell you is Before knocking Bambi over the car never felt like this...
My 1st thought was some how the belt jumped a tooth and I was out of timing,or dropped a cylinder... checked sway bar and links nothing touching where it shouldn't bushings are intact. I do have replacement upper strut mounts that's the only other thing I can think that's coming from the subframe to the car body.
Once I figure it out I can get back to work on this POS...and the bike..

Hi kallekula.
Good question.
It's been sitting there since February of 2019 it was supposed to be a project for me and my son.
After he passed i couldn't bring myself just junk it. So from time to time I work on it, the engine was in poor shape, I don't think there was a fault code that wasn't thrown. It smoked, ran hot, uneven, almost everything electronic didn't work... Now the engine is running smoothly, Power everything is working, all that's left is a part of the transmission valve body that's cracked.
Looks sharp but not really practical for me. But i cant get rid of it.

Need the part number off the valvebody . To find a replacement or have it welded.
So I guess the answer to your question is -
I don't know. lol
