Mess Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 On 26/03/2021 at 23:20, Tym said: How many miles on the motor @Mess? Just over 220,000. The Toyota 3.0 ~3.5 liter v6's have a flaw in their design. The oil gallery return holes in the heads are a bit small and tend to plug up with gunk when they get higher miles on them. They can literally pump all their oil out of the pan and starve the crank. That's what i suspect happened here. I always change my oil at 4500 k but since it had 90,000 miles on it when i bought it i suspect that it was well on its way to being gunked up by then. Apart from that they are a great v6 capable of half a million or more if service regularly. if i wasn't such a lazy ass back yard mechanic and replaced the timing belt at the required 200,000 miles this wouldn't have happened. I would have caught it and could have cleaned all the goop out then. It's my own fault really but i have an excuse... Getting the rear head off in the sienna van is a real nightmare, especially if it has a rear heater and a/c option like mine had. Toyota allows 12 hours for re and re in their service book but i have seen it take way longer if there are any issues getting all the fuel rail plumbing and intake off or with stuck hardware on the exhaust manifold. so i spun the wheel and took my chances................BOOM! guess that's why i don't gamble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mess Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 13 hours ago, skyrider said: it's japanese so there will be a fair few miles on that clock i would have thought Actually the most reliable motor i have seen around here for high mile longevity is the GM LS v8's. The 4.8, 5.3, 6 or the new 6.2 liter ls series is incredibly strongly built stock from the factory. You can easily get well over 350,000 on them with only doing regular maintenance. The bottom ends are incredibly strong, no one else that i know of stock production v8's have 6 bolt main cranks or have as well designed oiling system as the LS series. My own 2006 sierra 1/2 ton 5.3 has 340'000 on it and still runs well. I go from oil change to oil change with out adding a drop of oil and it has had a hard life towing and being used as a contractors work truck. You can easily build LS's using stock blocks into 700 hp+ motors just by bolt on parts. Slap on a supercharger, a set of reworked heads, new cam, performance fuel injector set up and voila you get a very reliable motor with 700+HP for cheap. Try doing that with a modern Ford's v8 or eco boost or any of Chrysler's hemi's and get out your bank card because you are going to spend 15 grand plus to get the same hp out of it. As far as Japanese motors Toyota V6's and their 5.7 V8 are super reliable and good for lots of miles if maintained Their 4 banger not so much Toyota is still having head gasket problems on their 4 bangers in the Tacoma's. any of Nissan's V6 and 4 bangers are also great motors. Mazda still has issues it seems with seals and personally i would stay away from Hyundai along with it's son Kia. They are facing a 12 billion dollar class action lawsuit for early motor failure going back from now to 12 years ago. I have pulled wrenches for 30 plus years in various forms and have personally never seen a high mile Hyundai with out it having motor work done to it at some point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
