1998- 2001 Toyota corolla DIY engine rebuild / oil consumption fix at home.

[@weatherwatchmore381]

All that varnish on the oil ring area is probably your reason why it was burning oil. That’s why you try your best to change your oil within 3-5k. The more you prevent varnish buildup, the less likely and longer you go without burning oil.

[@4WheeledAdventures]

Yeah that was the main reason. that’s why I got the car for free. It already had 289k miles when I got it.

[@marcoolivares7679]

Can you share the Part Numbers of the Piston Rings and gaskets needed?

[@4WheeledAdventures]

It’s added in the description.

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

Thanks for the info; i have the same car, year and model. But i have loud engine noise but doesnt burn oil or whatsoever. Dont have a clue as to the reason. Can you help?

[@4WheeledAdventures]

What kinda noise ?

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

@@4WheeledAdventures Sounds like a V8 engine or large displacement engine (5.7litres engine sound)

[@4WheeledAdventures]

That doesn’t really doesn’t give me a good description of the noise as not all v8 sounds the same.

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

@@4WheeledAdventures Please can you share an email or whatsapp number so I can video it for you to see

[@4WheeledAdventures]

Post it on your KZbin

[@hanscruz9613]

Hi, what about the oil consumption?, did it disappear?

[@4WheeledAdventures]

For the most part I can go about 3000 miles tell it eats about a quart of oil. which is pretty normal for the amount of miles that are on the car.

[@hanscruz9613]

​@@4WheeledAdventures Ok, that's normal, considering the wear on the cylinders. Thank you.

[@alexfong5747]

Mines wasted a quarter in a an hour drive 🤣

[@basedeal]

So this is a top half rebuild?

[@4WheeledAdventures]

Yes , plus piston rings and rod bearing.

[@Emmysofly]

How much does a job like that cost ?

[@4WheeledAdventures]

A few thousand depending on the shop and how they charge.

[@Emmysofly]

@@4WheeledAdventures got ya found a new engine with 78k miles for 1900$ do you suggest changing the engine all together at that point

[@4WheeledAdventures]

@@Emmysofly yeah if they give you somewhat of a warranty and it runs good I would .

[@Emmysofly]

@@4WheeledAdventures they have 6 months warranty okay thank you so much

[@JosePerez-zc4pv]

I just bought a Corolla. Engine spits oil and white smoke outta exhaust. Swapped engine, same problem

[@4WheeledAdventures]

Probably a bad head gasket or cracked head. The white smoke mean coolant is going into the exhaust system and the spiting out oil is probably exhaust soot that’s being washed out.

[@fahhad17]

you need pistong ring cleanning

[@quadrider203]
