With a diagnosis like that it can be anything.

toy corrolla, All trac

Only plug was still in so my first guess was wrong

Could i drop a 1994 engine into it
I was going to take an engine from a wrecked toy corralla 1994 but it was an automatic and mine is a standard. Is it a pain to switch it. tell me what you need for info and ill try to get it for you

Telling me what car it is isnt gonna help me diagnose the problem.

Pictures would help.

yeah you might have blown a hole somwhere or just leaked oil really quickly and seized up your engine

those splatter marks look like a thrown rod to me.... that is, if it made it through the block

I'm with you on that.... It looks (and sounds) reminescent of when my '96 4Runner 5VZ-FE threw a rod.

if a rod broke and went though the block, then yes..... at the VERY least you need a new shortblock (the lower 1/2 of the motor, essentially) and all of the gaskets required to swap it out.

so whats your estimated cost that it would take? I do ahve the 1994 engine toy corolla from a friend but hers was automatic mine was standard not sure if that matters

RedAE102 · 11-23-2005, 02:58 PM

Doesn't make the slightest difference... it just means you have to swap your flywheel over to the other engine. ~5 minutes max.

so you all think im going to have to drop a new engine into it huh?
