Ahoy. My truck is turning into an oil-coholic. Just did a head and valve job and its still drinking oil. I think its the piston rings. After 234k miles i would expect it to be the rings. Anyway, does anyone have a place they would recommend in the loveland and fort collins, colorado area? and what would a fair price be for the replacing of the piston rings? i'd suspect the cylinders would have to be honed and i'd have to get some new piston heads too.

 

How much oil are we talkin' here?

 

enough oil to blow a trail of smoke as i drive. I'd say a quart a week. Which, for me, a week would be about 100 miles of driving.

 

my 22re sucks 2 quarts a week, dosent leave a puddle, and dosent smoke...i have no clue where it goes lol

 

when i have problems with my 4runner i take it to a local guy in fort collins, he has done nothing but great work on for me. it is fort collins auto repair. here is a link with directions and a phone number...

thanks. Ill give them a call. I know theres lots of shops in this area, but thats why i was asking for recommendations. So many potential bad places to go to.

 

I would 100% recommend Michael over at Choice City Auto Repair. It's on the corner of myrtle and stover in Old Town Ft. Collins. The # is 970-484-2227. Tell him Eric with the cream 84 truck and black 88 4runner said hi.

 

I've heard bad things about the guys at Ft Collins 4x4, I dunno though. Can't afford to take my truck to get fixed.

 

2x that. First and 2nd hand. Sorry Ft. Collins 4x4...
