3VZE Woes Revisited

Note my original posting above.
Well the results of my dry and wet compression test are back and I am going to need a new engine.

0 70 0 80
That puts me in the market for a used 3VZE. I don't see much point in trying to rebuild a 3VZE with 274,000 miles on it. If you know of a good one in the Northeast, please contact me.

the cheapest rebuilt longblock Ive seen is 1800+500 core charge. You sure having the block punched, honed, decked, hot dipped, and the crank surfaces worked on and the replacing all internals isn't cheaper? (3vzfe uses a forged crank that will drop right into our 3vze from what ive been told)
I dont know as Ive not been down this road...yet. *gulp*

I was hoping for something of the salvage yard variety, dumping a large amount of $$ into an engine is not in the cards, however, neither is selling the 4runner for a couple hundred dolllars.

Yep, they aren't good.
The mechanic who did the compression tests told me that the double zero was likely caused by a burned piston. I don't know if he considered a stuck valve or not.
