Consumer Description

I HAVE ENGINE GELLING THAT HAS LED TO ENGINE DAMAGE SEVERE ENOUGH THAT I WILL EITHER NEED A NEW SHORT BLOCK OR NEW ENGINE (ACCORDING TO TOYOTA). EVEN WITH ALL OF THE WORK THAT I HAVE ALREADY HAD ON THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE IS NOT IN PROPER RUNNING ORDER AND WILL TAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE.
