Unhappy Bad Luck

Just a few days ago my engine in my 94' come close to blowing up on me. The repair shop said that there were metal shaving somehow in the oil pan from the bearings and they clogged up the oil filter and the oil pump and completely shut down and quit pumping fuel to the engine. Therefore there was no oil going to the engine and messed everything up real bad...

Damn........ That sucks, I hope you can manage on that engine for the mean time. In the long run I would suggest either rebuilding that engine you have currently, or get another V-6 Motor out of a low mileage Toyota. That's not right for a 1994 Es 300 to die like that. Who did your last oil change?
