[QUOTE="WHITE TRASH1, post: 1429833, member: 15951"] It sure is, all that **** is attached to the real issue and that is the engine itself! :haha: Dealer recalls were all done after she bought it. Gasket blew again and took a head with it. Got headers, larger radiator and a body lift (to keep it cool apparently since it's still on 31's) with the freshly rebuilt engine and now she has a 5 cylinder. Not sure what happened and I don't give a **** to look since I didn't do the work in the first place but I know a couple good mechanics have gone over it and all signs point to a burnt valve. I picked up a 93 runner off of here with 200k on it and I'm putting it in her rig. Not sure of it's history but it does run nice and smooth. I'll never work on one again if I can help it though. NOTHING is thought out well or easy to access with the engine in place. To adjust the power steering belt the battery needs to come out because they put the fawking adjuster bolt in from the backside. :eeek: The a/c compressor needs to come out to get to the motormount bolts. The exhaust crossover design is ****ing terrible at best, ultra restrictive and in the way of the bellhousing bolts. I am not looking forward to swapping wiring harnesses either and I'm marking all 284938732 of the vacuum lines so one of them doesn't get crossed up and throw a CEL. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
