you have to keep in mind im still flushing out the crap from toyota not locking the timing guides in place from new, which resulted in a destroyed vvt, 3 inches of timing guide that was both shaved off and broken, multiple grooves in the block and head...at this point im just buying time till i can gatehr everything for a 1.8 swap.....as i suspect alot of material got embedded in the bearings

"if" the engine goes another 100k ill be blown away, but theres no way it will go the 400k some guys get out of it...even if its only got 120k on it..the carnage from toyotas F-up will inevitably lead to a shorter life on the engine
