I feel like I’ve seen this posted on here in another thread before. I’m pretty sure because I remember thinking to myself that this would probably solve my gearing issue (or cause a new gearing issue) and how could I best sell this idea to my wife…. It was at that point I decided that I had enough internet for the night and should probably go to bed.

For better or worse this is it:

Might be in for a penny / in for a pound as the saying goes.....

I am aware of “penny wise pound foolish”…

Very much hope you nail it this time. Good luck

I'm in the exact same boat with my 2011, I've been eyeing this seller as well so I'm very curious to see how the product is.

 

[gray rider]

The JDM engine is in hand.
The fubar engine has been extracted.
More photos pending.......

Now we got some meat....
It looks like this was human error on the part of independent "mechanics" as best we can surmise on my end. Someone got in to this engine and perhaps did not torque 3 bolts to specs. One sheared and 2 backed out. Also note one bolt as non - Toyo. Looks like a hardware store substitute.......More info forthcoming...

Is that bolt even making contact with the washer? At least they didn’t skimp on a zinc coated mild steel option.. I guess.

I’m sure we’ve all had to do some questionable repairs just to hold you over until you can get to a parts store or home or whatever, but a hardware store fastener inside the timing cover is wild.

This is off your old or new engine?

 

[gray rider]

This is the old fubar engine. I will try to mark up the 2 bolts that evidently just backed out and one sheared.....
