Hi all,
I picked up a my 80 series from a shop after they had it for three months. They rebuilt the 3FE engine block and head. After driving it for less than 10 miles, i heard a knocking sound, exited the highway, pulled into a parking lot, and the engine seized while at parked at idle. There was a knock that changed to a metallic scrape right before the engine stopped.
Has anyone had a similar situation? My guess is they did not keep track of the pushrods, installed them incorrectly, and oil was not able to circulate correctly.
This shop is a Toyota specific shop that has a good reputation, not looking to blast their creditsbility, simply looking for insights from others with experience with a 3FE rebuild.
