I bought 94 toyota camry for fixer upper...v6...blown head but seems like the water gone thru the bottom end of the engine. Milky oil already...oil mixed with water. Does anyone know if the bottom is salvageable just drop new heads, drain all oil, remove OIL pan...flush all oil passage of the block with pressurized air....Or better yet drop new engine...

Depends how long engine ran with water in oil. Seeing as no one can visibly inspect the bearings or has access to a wayback machine I don't see how this can be answered. If you can manually crank the engine then I guess that could be a good sign.

u gotto get in there my friend...does the engine start? if it starts and runs just change HGs...unless ur in the mood to drop a new engine in just for the fun of it

It crank but of course it wouldn't start coz the it will make it worst. I think I just gonna drop all the oil, oil pan as well, put new oil pump, flush all the oil passage of the lower block then replace the head and see if that would work...but if I find new engine from a wrecked car I might drop it...

I think i will drop another engine on it....a less than 100k miles engine is $350 compare from d cost of putting new head, nea gaskets and resurface plus the gamble if the bottom still works...yah new engine is better route. I just wonder if 95 camry 1mz is the same harness with the 94...
