That's the diagnosis from the mechanic on my 82 FJ40, original 2F. Mileage over 160k, that's when the odometer died. And low compression on two others.
Rebuild for $$ or engine swap?
I'm in Hawaii ( I'm sure I'll get ZERO pity now) and machining is expensive.
I'm concerned the cost of engine swapping will be just as expensive or more after changing out electrical and exhaust components.
Any input would be appreciated.
