wtf?! timing chain cover split?!
omg, I have a 2007 sedan with only 23,000 kms and they say they found a split in the timing chain cover.....got to take apart a lot of the engine and they do not have any idea on what might have caused it, I know its under warranty but still, I am wondering about the legendary toyota quality now :(
sorry guys, just in one of those moods now...lol....and I always am concerned about anytime they have to do engine work like this..... |

there is nothing I could have done to cause this, this was a split in the inch or so thick metal casing...they are sending it to toyota to see if a recall is needed
oh yeah I had some noise from the engine and a minor oil leak |

Oil leak!?! Busted metal cover!?! Holy shit! on a practically new car! Sounds like you are going to have lots of problems with that engine. I would see about a lemon law claim. There are bound to be more issues on the way.

i don't think there's a big issue with the 1nz-fe as it's already a matured engine...
it began in 99 with the vitz in japan... it's been 8years now.. your engine is probably just 1 lemon found in millions of oranges.. |

It does sound like his engine is the only one with that issue(s). Maybe the engine builder dude was up all night partying at the karaoke bar or a geisha house. hehe
