thats strange, i can access any toyota dealer records, canada i cluded ive done it before but nothing shows up for yours, very weird, depending on how far you want to go, contact toyota and explain to them the issue it has been having and what you found, say the dealer refused to investigtae the problem and now your engine is in need more repairs than what could of happened. thats very frustrating!

thats basicly the plan, i mean 110k miles is NOTHING for these engines, but with the damage done..i truely dont expect the bearings to last at this point...time will tell sure, but toyota is clearly at fault....id love to have them comp me an engine, but id be suprised if they even covered expense of the parts i put into it...all said it really needs a crank with the damage the sensor wheel took..and thats a non replaceable part without a full crank swap..and you dont go swaping a crank without replacing all the bearings..at which point you may as well rebuild the entire engine

with the run time ive had on the lift doing flushes not once has it thrown a code at me...nor has it made even the slightest hint of any noises....and its now run for a few hours at about 10-15 mins at a time

took the pan off this morning after letting it sit all night after a full warm up..and what was in the pan was minimal enough...tossed in a old hard drive magnet under the pickup and ran it for 2 more flushes...no metalic bits only a few miniscule aluminum glitter bits....

so ive wiped it all down and sealed it up....pending the sealant curing ill get it off the lift tonight and out tommaro

while i was in there i also swapped the 1.8 rolla TB with zero issue
