This specialization requires expertise in diesel engines, hydraulics, and complex electrical systems. This hands-on, outdoors-oriented specialization is ideal for those who enjoy varied environments and technical challenges. Here are four in-demand specializations to consider.
The two most at-risk components are the hydraulic tensioners and VVT cam phasers – both highly dependent on the oil supply. The engine is designed with three hydraulic tensioners as well as four VVT cam phaser and solenoid units, all of which are highly dependent on oil. Most important, though, is that debris will clog oil ports.
When it comes to lifters, there will always be the traditional questions of solid versus hydraulic and flat tappet versus roller. Some of the answers may remain the same, but advancements in lifter and manufacturing technology, as well as modern testing and research is constantly evolving to make these components better.

Most later-model vehicles with a manual transmission use a hydraulicsystem consisting of the clutch master cylinder, hydraulic hoses, the concentric slave cylinder and the concentric slave cylinder bearing to actuate the clutch. The disc is clamped between the clutch and flywheel and is splined to the transmission input shaft.

Gen 1 bearings are a press-fit application, meaning they require a hydraulic press for removal and installation. Gen 1 bearings were a step up from the previous iterations, and you’ll still find them on many front-wheel-drive applications, both domestic and import. They’re sealed and lubricated for life.

The days are gone when transmissions were purely mechanical and hydraulic and all you really needed was a set of high-pressure gauges to check line pressure and a vacuum gauge to check the engine’s intake vacuum and the integrity of the vacuum modulator. The topology for these networks is typically a loop.
These components were prone to failure and are expensive to manufacture. Around 2004, many manufacturers of AWD systems started to abandon complex transfer case center differentials in favor of less expensive clutches. The brake hydraulic control module on these vehicles has at least 12 valves.
Parts quality: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are usually more expensive than aftermarket options. It also requires good technical knowledge and specialized tools.Thats why you shouldnt attempt a DIY replacement and let an experienced professional handle it. Can You Replace a Torque Converter Yourself?
Parts quality: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts tend to cost more than aftermarket options. It helps maintain smooth hydraulic function and prevents buildup that can cause issues. Technically, you can still drive with a faulty VVT, but its not something you should do for long. Can You Drive with a Bad VVT Solenoid ?
The hydraulics will still work, however, the ABS light being on indicates that the system will not prevent wheel lockup. Over the years and across vehicle manufacturers, this warning light has also been called a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and Service Engine Soon (SES) light. Now, I do need to clarify a bit.
