The engine was running great right up until it started to seize. The gasket blew out of the oil filter. 1.5 miles was all it took And the motor was done.
Bummer. Anyway, I decided not to try and salvage any old parts and just ordered up everything needed for a complete rebuild. That included a crank and complete standard bore resleeve kit. Also all the parts for a complete head rebuild. Valves, guides, seats, bearings and seals. The cam and bearings were not damaged so i was able to reuse the Toyota cam. Im using, please dont laugh, a china head core. Tha head shop told me it was a crap head but with all the Toyota parts
It would be ok. Hope there right. It saved me about $800.
