new engine needed???

93XLECamry,

It sounds like you really don't know what you are doing. So I would advise you to take it to a shop to get some tests done on it. By removing the camshaft caps, I hope you haven't already damaged the engine by stressing the camshaft(s). To remove the camshafts, you need to remove the timing belt. Don't attempt to remove the heads unless you have studied the procedures in detail. A shop can use a boroscope to look inside your cylinders as well as do basic tests such as a block test, leakdown and compression tests, etc.

In a churning engine, very fast. His oil is already milky read the first post. The mixture will sit on the bearings and will severely shorten their life.





Where are you located? I wouldn't mind collecting another 3vz

And when you get the car running again make sure you pay attention to the gauges, like I said they are there for a reason
