I have a friend who's daughter just wreck the family car. They are on a budget and a super cool family. She's scared of CL for some reason too... Anyway, since this is a trustworthy group, I thought I would ask here. She didn't say a number, but I'm guessing around 2k.
If I'm already taking the heads in to get machined, is a port and polish worth the etra investment? I'm having a hard time finding an answer. 1uz heads are out because I can't afford the new pistons that I would have to buy.
It's a head gasket. Now I'm debating how to make some lemonade. I'm researching 2uz with 1uz heads, pulling it and dropping in a 4.7 from an 05 which has some more power, 5.7 won't happen but would be sick.
I got it started, but it struggles to get started and struggles to stay running. The idle is SUPER low, and I'm getting vibrations when it's running. No white smoke out the tailpipe. ABS light and check engine light are both on.
I just did one in a sc300 and Sequoia. Both were pretty easy. I was surprised. A friend's scion's belts took longer than both of those. It's crazy with engineers will do to you.
So, I didn't overheat, but the radiator blew on the 04 Sequoia. The traction control and check engine light was on. The radiator had a bunch of brown goo on it too and there was some in it, assuming a stop leak type stuff. It sprayed the inside of the engine pretty good when it went, so I...
I went from an 80 to a Sequoia and love it. I've dealt with the door actuator which wasn't that bad, the ac fan going out, oil pressure gauge broken, gas gauge broken... Overall not that bad. I wanted an 05, but got a deal on a 03. The power is nice. Also, you aren't going to run a wide tire...
If you can get it cheap from the insurance company, get it. Parting it out yourself is going to bring in way more, plus having spare parts is a plus. I JUST watched my perfect frame leave otherwise I would say have at it.
Not all 15s are out of the question, only most. Some guys run 15s on fzjs, but there are some rules to follow. Deals on tires for a 15 are so hard to find though, I'd rather bump to a 17.
