FYI, I'm a tech at a Toyota dealership. I don't retail for anything, including machine labor.

You shouldn't have said that on here... you have 934921042 new best friends!

lol, in that case, take the block: bore it, deck the head flat, deck the head flat, turn the crank, get a knowledgeable guy to clearance the main/rod bearings, and throw in some Hbeam rods, and aftermarket pistons.

I think Arty has the winning ticket. For less than $30 a piece for the oversized pistons, plus $52.50 for swaintech's top of the line piston treatment, I should have no issues, with the new rings getting toasted.

yuppers! may want to throw your valves into that treatment as well (at least the exhaust valves) they'll see the most heat.

I had thought about that. I would like to find a spare head to port properly this time, and have it ready with all new valves and a nice valve job also, being the one I'm using has over 200k on it. And not to mention the oil issue, my bets are its in the head or valve cover. It never really stopped spitting oil. Even after I removed the vaccum from the catch can and vented it.
