Looking for a mechanic/shop in the Nashville area (I'm on the Lebanon/Gallatin side of town) for our FJ80. Had a check engine light pop on and the shop that I initially took it to said that I've got cylinders 5 & 6 with low compression (20 psi) and it is needing internal engine work done, which they don't do at this shop. First, I'm wondering if maybe I've got valves sticking, I just find it hard to believe that I've got compression issues, the Cruiser only has 160k miles on it? But, I'm wanting to find a shop or individual that know these vehicles and I can build a relationship with. Any help is appreciated.

Just pm you
Is your FJ80 a 1991-1992 model (3FE engine) or a FZJ80 (1993-1997) with the 1FZFE engine?
What symptoms were you having with your 80?
Why did the mechanic check compression?
What exactly did they say/write on the work sheet/estimate?

Hey can you PM me as well? In the Nashville area too, just bought a 2000 LC100, looking to get timing belt and ball joints changed, and have other stuff coming up so, would love to find a reliable shop to build a relationship with. Thanks!
