2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder

Question: Burning Oil

Question

Highseas, 1.8L 4 Cylinder, Park Ridge, NJ, March 17, 2010, 12:40

 Rookie

My 2002 MR2 Spyder is starting to go through some serious amounts of motor oil. It seems to me to be the valve guides or packing. I wanted to know how difficult a job it was to do myself or if anyone knows of a good, honest and qualified mechanic in Northern NJ.

Thanks,

Ken

  You can find a good shop here www.repairpal.com/directory as it might be the valve guides but with the amount of oil your talking about you might have a broken oil ring on one of the pistons, so you might be better off with one of those used japanese engine shops call around and see what they run installed
