it wouldn't make sense to go after an older model year engine so 03 or newer swap would make snese. Anyone on here can chim e in to see if this can be done?

I remember pushing down it the corners once to see if it bounced, i believe then it went up and down once or twice. I will do it again by repeating it again and again until it is bouncing. The car has 160 on it. I am pretty sure it is the original struts. I will double check the oil leaking

I will be calling you in an hour about the oil I couldn't find the Monroe quick strut kit on Rockauto.com??? The strut looks in pretty bad shape, I see no oil leaking down the side. I will look again. Also, I did the bounce test it goes down up and down again. SO I am assuming its not...

I have been told that I need new struts in the front. Every bump I hear clunking noises from the front.. I was told my bushings went south. So what do I need to do replace this. I hear there is a quick strut kit I can get. Is that all I need???

Yeah, I was in the same boat of dong this as 98-02 drink oil, like gas

What I don't get is how pistons get stuck???? And if they do, how do they contribute to oil consumption. I have been trying to figure this out over the past week

That's what I might do I think my next step is to go 10 W30 - Or maybe 10W40 Than add Lucas Oil (1 quart in addition to the 10w30, 40) And go from there. I was looking into getting Jasper engine put in... I dunno I am still looking into the Amsoil flush and foam

nEVERMIND I DIDN'T DO THE LEAK DOWN, JUST COMPRESSION TEST

Thanks for the helpful links. I did do it that way, so my dry /wet test (leakdown) was successful. I did assume that cylinder 1 and 3 are shot (the rings/pistons) I will be looking through the inbox, thanks scott! Also i pulled codes (engine light) and I got codes P0300 and P0303...

Ok so just did the wet test, same cylinder from belts to driver side: 1) 170 2) 130 3) 170 4) 130 Going by the logic mentioned here, two of my rings seem shot. What do you guys suppose is going on here? where do I lie?

If you add a cap full of brake fluid to every cylinder, the rings will expand when you run it

I didn't notice blue smoke coming from the back Ok so i did th compression test starting with the cylinders facing thw belts (near them) 1) 145 psi 2) 87 psi 3) 140 psi 4) 70psi (nearest the drivers side The spark plugs all seemed to have a very white chaulky appearance I didn't add the...

What numbers should I be doingwith the compression test? Anyone heard of the brake fluid trick?

I can't believe Toyota isn't doing anythign about this...sad really

Would A bad or poorly performing 02 sensor affect gas mileage, oil consumption, and performance?

Ok, so even with going part synthetic and pcv valve, etc. I still consume oil. Here's what I will do (and chime in for asny feedback): 1; Change the valve cover gasket (as I suspect burning oil- not a lot) 2; Do a compression test on the cylinders ( I have the tools, just don't know how to...

try rockauto.com . They have great prices!!

I believe the best way to get the 02 sensors off is the night before you change it, saturate it with PB blaster! And I mean saturate it

I have an automatic tranny no overdrive so is 29-33 mpg pretty good?

26 is low? i guess it depends on how much highway you drive I get 30-32 mpg on my commute and 80-90 percent is highway. Even with traffic (rush hour)
