I HAD TROUBLE FINDING A REPLACEMENT after I drove my 2006 LX470's engine to death (the timing belt broke while driving). I bought an engine (from eBay) that a mechanic said was not good.
Since then, searches for engines have produced no results. Then comes another mechanic who insists that he can replace my LX470 engine with a Sequoia engine. I am not sure this will work because when I search for engines, I get a warning that the Sequoia engine "does not fit" the LX470.
What are your thoughts?
Vehicle info 2006 LX470, 229K miles. Everything works on the vehicle including the AHC (which I repaired twice).
