Cressida86 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm totally new to this forum. I had a 87 toyota cressida as my daily driver during the past few years. Unfortunately, it seems that I have to rebuild my engine now as it has been smoking for a long time and it's using too much oil by now. As the engine is the 2.0 L 1G-EU, I wasn't able to find any parts for it in my country( New caledonia). After a few researches, it seems that this kind of engine has only been sold to Europe, Japan and New zealand. As the car is in a collector condition, I'd like to rebuild the engine. At first I thought it would be nice to upgrade to a superior motor, but I don't really need. It would be use only to cruise. Any idea if any shop could get me the parts needed for a full rebuilt? Sorry if the english isn't perfect, I haven't been practising recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cressida86 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Little precision(not sure if needed) : Engine burns lot of oil(there was too much oil in the engine when I got it. About 3 cm over the line on the gauge). Also, the gauge recently began to pop out of its place while driving. Maybe rebuilding the engine would not be necessary, but as I would disassemble everything, then why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
