Hi 2001LC. Thanks for the message. On the 2019 work, there was no other work or condition noted. I was not given or shown any pictures from any diagnosis, but I was verbally told the compression differences between cylinders and that #7 had almost none. I do not remember the numbers. It was...

It's turned into a bit of a saga, for me at least. I am still out of my LC. After toiling for a week or so while the car was at Toyota of Dallas, I finally pulled the trigger. The engine arrived fairly quickly. Maybe 4 days after order? Then a week delay due to backorder of a gasket set I should...

It was $3950 not including $500 ship including core ship back. There was also a $650 core charge deposit I should receive. No tax. However, it shipped with an oil pump not compatible with my VIN so there has been significant additional labor involved to get that replaced. They say their warranty...

I just had a friend offer to buy it from me so they could change the motor haha. That group looks fun too. I've decided to go with a remanufactured long block from "Engine Forge". They do about 50 LC motors each year. They don't need my core to ship so it will be here on Monday/Tuesday. It's...

Thanks DBULL! Wow it's painful looking at all those wrecked 100's...

Hi Bisho. Thank you for your input and thank you for your service to US. I will ask today what they can tell me what they think the failure is. I don't know why they have not given me the specifics just yet although I feel like I have asked enough. I initially considered looking for a...

Thanks 87warrior. Definitely something I would love to consider, but for this, at the point in my life, would seem more effort and money and inconvenience than I am willing to put myself through. It sounds fun though! 3 months ago, I would have told you that you could totally trust my well...

Thanks awesomeissquid. The places I have called have their own cores, but I do need to send in mine for their future use.

Thanks willyroo. I am not considering a rebuilt engine nor rebuilding my engine. Unless you guys are saying a rebuilt engine is the same as a remanufactured engine? I am considering buying a remanufactured long block engine and adding my peripherals to it, or buying a used engine (which is very...

Thanks shane. I will call them tomorrow. I called Davenport today, run by a former Sewell foreman, and the only difference between them and Toyota would be where they source the engine which would be a used instead of reman. Toyota is really pushing the remanufactured but they said they would...

Thanks FrankieJoe! I believe a compression test was done at Toyota, but I need to ask. I don't feel like I could do this "myself" even though I have done a few things like the starter and CV boots and a few other things. Time would be my hindrance. I have 2 little ones that I am happy to spend...

Hello all. I am a longtime listener, first time caller. I am the proud owner of a black/tan 2000 LC. Have owned since 2002 that started with 25000mi. It now has over 295000mi. It's my daily driver. It's been well maintained by me (oil changes) and all other items by Sewell Lexus in Dallas. It is...

Well that'd be great, but unfortunately, my wheels are not that style, they are the solid spoke...but thanks for letting me know. Maybe someone else will take you up...
