I believe that was exactly the issue
Seller had it listed for $600, but I talked him down to $450 |

Glad it's worked out to be a salvageable unit with a bit of machine work, bearings, and gaskets. Too bad someone gooped the silicone mess all over it though - that oil screen was awfully sketchy.. and I mean, that's my non-professional opinion.. I imagine as a professional you cry a little each time you run into that sort of work. lol
Looking forward to seeing more work on the Celica! -- Adam |

When it comes to finding cars with poor workmanship issues, they are easy to come by. Many “mechanics” think they know what they’re doing in professional roles, it’s almost garanteed to be worse when it’s “some guy” at “some shop”. I may be wrong, or maybe I’m just tired of fixing other people’s mistakes... |

I took my yaris to a shop to have them check the water pump a few years ago and they told me the whirring sound I was hearing was a squeaky clutch pedal. lol
