Happy New Beer
Hi Gents (Assuming no ladies?)
I have a '98 LC 105 with a 1FZ-FE 4500 EFI motor. Engine has done 380 000kms (236 000miles).
I am burning through a litre per 1500kms or around a pint per fill up.
Motor is a little flat compared to my previous 105 with similar mileage (but with a valve job done).
Tailpipe smokes at parking speeds after start and is then fine.
So, my intuition is that, at the very least, the valve stem seals need replacing. Perhaps the seats could be reseated as well.
My question is: what is the likelihood that I will need to replace the rings? I guess a compression test is needed but will that tell me rings and/or valve stem seals?
Any advice or previous experiences will be appreciated
Cheers
Frank
