(Sorry if you've already seen this post in the other topics).
Hello and thanks in advance for your advise.
I've just purchased a 94 4runner (V6-3.0 EFI & 4WD) with a blown head. It has 99.4K miles on it and visually the engine looks pretty good.
Also I saw some what looks like sludge on the inside of the cap, however there was none to be seen on the inside parts of the engine, (at least from the sm. opening of the cap).
Browsing through this forum I noticed that other people have had similar issues with same yr. model.
Any advise on how to go about addressing the issue? Should I have it fixed, (head resurfaced) or go for a used engine switch?
Or should I look into a remanufactured engine and if so, does anyone have a lead?
Also I have heard from people that there are used engines shipped from Japan that have 30-40K on them, does anyone know anything about that?
Thanks everyone!
