I seriously hope your talking about the OLD motor not the NEW one :o :eek:

I've just found your previous post :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby: OOOHHH *****. Any ideas yet about the cause of the damage?

cant be sure found that the oil strainer was full of the big end bearing remains, that would have caused massive oil starvation but did oil starvation cause the bearings to fail first? going to see if i can claim under toyota's 12mth warranty (block crank and rods werebrand new) their engineer should be able to spread some light on it. oil pump seems tight so may have been this that failed. i'll wait for the engineers report and see. looks like a full new engine req dont think i'll be able to salvage much from this one

well the interesting part is that the damage may be covered under warranty as i had a brand new short engine for the rebuild and as its still less than 12mth old (arived last july but not in the car until january) and at the moment it looks like oil gallery failure so a new engine from mr t thankyou
