hey guys, so it turns out that my engine is consuming oil to the point that i have to refil it every week.
I get HEAVY blue smoke when i start it in the morning, and moderate smoke after starting if the motor has been off for about 3 hours.

I was told this was a gasket leak ans that it would cost about $2,000 to overhaul, so wouldn't it be more cost effective if i just put in a rebuilt 1MZFE?

My father has made it my job to find one, but i dont really know where to look. does anyone know any places in HOUSTON that can supply with with a rebuilt engine? My dad doesnt want to put in a camry engine because he says that no one would want to buy it from us if we told them that we put a camry engine in it instead of a "Lexus" motor.

thanks for time and help.

 

im in houston, i wouldnt know where to get a rebuilt one..but try calling some wreckers, maybe they have an es on hand and need to get rid of it

 

thanks,

yeah, i think im going to have to resort to the junk yards
