Hey guys, I'm looking for a reputable shop / private mechanic for a HG job on my '96 1fz-fe engine (246K km original engine). Greater Vancouver area plus Squamish, Abbotsford up to and included Chililwack.
The engine and tranny is sitting in my garage in long block kind of stage, no accessories. The engine has a confirmed HG failure, at cyl 6 as usual, coolant leaking at exterior not in the cylinder - no white smoke, no cyl. pressure loss, no traces of oil / exhaust gasses in the coolant. This was documented before engine removal - video taken with the coolant pouring out, cyl pressure tests revealed no abnormal pressure differences among the cylinders.
I have the OEM HG gasket kit (the Engine Valve Grind Kit - 04112-66030) plus the oil cooler gaskets (2 pcs x 15785-66010 and 1 pc x 15725-66010).
Most likely the head needs to be resurfaced (hopefully the block is OK ...), valves re-seated and so on....
Please let me know...
