Dropped my 460 off at the local lexus place today to get the SAIS replaced under recall. That's pretty cool.

I need more practice setting this up and I understand why this was a multiple person job for the army lol

My pole and tackle box is in there!

Time for an adventure! Taking a couple of days to camp and fish.

I guess it could be exhaust, too?

injector pulse or lifter tick?

My biggest issue is: I don't have 5600 laying around lol. One place quoted me 10k for a new motor + swap. Another estimated about 3k in labor. I'd have to find my own motor, which is easy enough.

The previous owner let it overheat. I spoke to the shop that they took it to and the mechanic told me it wouldn't overheat again after replacing the radiator, hoses, thermostat housing, etc. That was just last year. About a month ago, I noticed that it was starting to get hot so I immediately...

I guess I may need to start shopping for a place to just do the swap. car-parts.com is showing some decent options. Not gonna lie: Really feels bad to be close to 20k into a 16 year old SUV lol

There is coolant leaking into cyl 7, 4 and 8.

Unfortunate update: My codes were being caused by head gasket failure. Coolant leaking into cylinders. 5600 is the quote to repair it and that doesn't include potential machining. Looking at new motors vs repairing the headgaskets. Current motor is at 206k miles. It seems I can get something...

man, idk. This thing was still misfiring on that cylinder.

It could be. I have a little oil on Cyl 4 as well.

I pulled cylinder 7 to swap the plug and it was pretty heavily coated in wet oil. I've noticed a little oil in cyl 4, which has also been throwing codes. So I'm fairly certain we've got a gasket leak now :(
