Ok Guys another interesting topic !!· 5 replies
As most of you aware GP series has a known issue of oil burning regardless of the chassis series (as per Stafford), so i just did a small research and found out couple of solutions that are currently in place. I know this has been discussed in a separate thread but i guess this aspect was not included in that discussion(if im not mistaken).
1) Clean the pistons, rings and plugs and reuse it (not quite sure how long you can run before you get the same issue again.) any idea in KM?
2) Engine swap (which is not sure as you don't know the series which this engine belongs to)
3) Fully rebuild the engine with the corrected rebuild kit -> 100% guaranteed method
4) Well this is the newest one I found. Garages remove the pistons and do a modification to the ring groove and then put a new set of rings which suites it. And this seems to be a successful solution as well. A Garage I knows have done this for 4 cars and so far no complains (they have been doing this since couple of years it seems). Cost is almost like half the price including labor.
So point 1 and 4 are open for discussion...

Looked at the 'gem' today, it is but a mere cobblestone. On paper it gave me a raging boner, first owner, (Registered to a company), Camry 2.4 Euro spec that was imported brand new in 2004 and all eco test reports until 2020 ❤️. The car was priced higher (about 3 lakhs) than the market but is she the one? uwu. Alas no. She is a but a common mongrel with so much dents (big ones in the rear and side doors). The side mirror was Royal Blue and the car is supposed to be black onyx The search continues....· 7 replies
