Hi guys,
got a 7mge jap import motor for my supra. I compression tested it before I bought it, but it still burns oil(valve seals?) and there is a lot of tappet noise(?). The engine came with a 6 month replacement warranty. So I have two choses:
1.having another engine fitted, which will cost me more than I paid for it. And as I can't test the engine, it's another lottery.
2.the engine importers have offered to pay for repairs not exceeding the $600 I payed for the engine. So I was thinking I could pay the difference, and get the head repaired.
My mechanic said that if you recondition the head on a 100K+ engine, the increased pressure could damage the old rings. So I don't know what to do. Any ideas?
