Gday all,
Am a newbie to this forum..thanks for any/all help/ideas.
I bought a 92 MX83 Grande in Nov99 with 72000km from Toyota dealer. Elderly gent ill, didn't drive it for 18 months...good I thought. Started burning oil 1 ltr 3000km. Took it to Toyota, they repaired it, stuck ring in piston. Re ringed, bearings, head reconditioned ($3000) at 116000km. Service book mostly up to date before my purchase. 122000km now sounds like a diesel when cold, mostly fine when warm but occasionly has a tappet like sound when hot. Toyota say that they reckon it is a cracked piston but will not know until pulled apart, same money again and that warrantly only valid if it a part they fixed, funnily the pistons hold the rings. It seems strange to me that the piston would all of a sudden get cracked. This sucks. Any ideas
