I recently was given a 1993 tercel by my cousin when he upgraded to an 04 rolla. Its got a really bad engine knock. He went to the mechanics and they told him 2 broken pistons. What im wondering is there a way to remove the broken piston and run on 2 cylinders?

I just want to be able to get it drivable enough to learn standard on. Any insight would be great.


I dont really wanna put anymoney into it because when my cousin got the new car he took a bat to the tercel and theres not a good panel left and its been spray painted.

Sorry, nope. Your either going to have to rebuild it, or get a new engine. Check the local scrap yards and see what they charge for one. It may not be too bad and replacing an engine isn't rocket science by far.

I think it was the top truck challenge i saw this in. A guy with a jeep with a v8 in it has a busted piston or something of the sort and ran it on only 7 cylinders the rest of the trip so thats why i figured id ask.

well i guess its off to the scrap yard with this piece then. at least i had fun spray painting it last night. Its got 666 on the hood. a pentagram on each side and SLUT masked off on the quarters. Oh ya and inverted crosses painted on the taillights so when the lights are on the outline shows through:smokin:

Broken pistons? that will be a first on a tercel. it probably had a bad rod bearing or 2. Pull the pan and rod caps and inspect.

just get the engine replaced.

just wondering do you know anything about engines?
