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.

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.

 

ZERO compression?!? Wow....never seen that before. You must have a valve stuck open.

 

How do you know you need a new engine and not just a head?

 

Yeah those are the worst compression numbers I've ever seen.

 

yeah ive enevr seen 0 but i have had under 50 in 3 cylinders before, but that is due to a little company called doa that screwd me over 3 times.

 

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.

 

Screwed by DOA. We ought to form a help group or something.
I got boned by him too. What a crook.
