head gasket spark plug read coolant code
At the beginning of a coolant ingestion head gasket failure, the car can still run great. Spark plug will look cleaner/whiter than the others. Miss at startup may set code...I know nothing of code-setting.

That is very true. You should notice coolant loss.

Checked underneath the car and the oil pan has a little leak near the oil screw, maybe that's causing that oil leak too... A bad gasket perhaps. I'll keep you guys posted.

Head Gasket
What shows at seams and surfaces further down the engine can be oil coming down from the head gasket...they fail at varying rates various places. The pressurized passage for head oil on my Corolla was off the right side of #1...the cylinder that had the worst coolant leak in the HG failure. And oil wept oil down that side of the engine.

There is no way a motor like this, so new (2010), 1,5l and only 26.000 miles to be so cheap. Also there is no way, to give only 6 month warranty on such a new engine. It's too cheap to be true. All the companies lies. Even the reliable ones. They just open the motor, they clean it, they change some damaged parts and you can't tell if its 20.000 mile engine or 100.000 mile engine or even worse. There is absolute no way. Trust me.

Very true, and 1nz's in North America are easy to come by and no in high demand due to their reliabikity, this keeps the costs low.
I picked up my 2zr with 89k km on it from a 2011 corolla at my local Recyclers for $600. It's true you don't know the exact mileage on it and they could be lying but a large well know recycler that has a good reputation and wants to keep it will likely not be messing around with the mileage. Even more unlikely if they have a handful of those engines for sale with varying mileage and price. Take a look at other engines they sell, if they're all very low km's and none have high km's with a lower price then there is a higher chance they're bs the mileage. When I stripped my engine down to the block everything looked great and exactly as it should've for its mileage. They give oil pressure ratings, oil consumption and compression. (although I'm not too sure how they would measure that in a totalled car)

Total, totaled used engines miles value
Lots of totaled cars run well. Some even drive OK or fine. Push a front corner enough to dent the front of the door and crack the windshield. Often, that's totaled.
It's just cost to fix is more than value fixed. (Or could be really hammered in the rear, but still able to drag itself around the lot in low gear(s).) |

The 1nzfe was going for about 500$ CAD 12 years ago. Complete with transmission for an Echo.

most big recyclers have an engine dyno that they do their testing on. they do not need the car for testing. I would trust their millage because they have like 50 of them for sale. they are a good company and have good representation. |

Ahh I see, I've always wondered how people bench test their engines, what would a set up like that consist of?
