is this a known issue to alot of 1mjze engines? or is this a rare instance that only happens to a few.. i'm also hearing something about "sludge" can anyone give me a basic definition of that.

Hey Ratko. would you konw anywhere in Toronto where you could reccomend me to fix this problem for a reasonable price. "Downtown Toyota" quoted me 600 plus to fix it.

thanks

Jimmy
