Tercel oil usetparrish 10-26-2003, 11:10 AM Need some assistance. Working with my daughters 91 DX Tercel. Rebuilt engine installed approx. 2000 miles ago. Need to check oil every 5-7 days and usually add 1 qt. Any ideas? Should valve stem seals be considered? Galvatron 10-26-2003, 04:25 PM Yes, if you dont see any external leaks or puddles under the car, this is usually the cause. Bobby C 01TA 10-26-2003, 04:28 PM How much is the repair going to cost on parts and labor? Does it involve dismantling the motor? Maybe I can just get the parts and have my mechanic do it. Nick 10-26-2003, 06:25 PM i'd go back to whoever rebuilt the engine and explain the problem they've got to guarantee their work for more then 2000 miles LBT96 10-28-2003, 06:05 AM Yeah, I had my rebuild guaranteed upto 12k miles. And I'm just about to hit 20k and I do have a small leak, but I don't have to add oil inbetween my 2500mile oil changes. | |
