'93 Toyota Previa alltrac with recurring burnt valve...
What is your question?
I've had this Previa for nearly 3 years. Two months after purchase I had a burnt valve replaced by my south Seattle mechanic. It cost me almost $2000. Two plus years later and I am in the same spot. 4th cylinder reads about 50 psi, while the rest of them read between 110-120 psi.
Should I seriously consider another repair for this engine?
Should I consider getting a new engine? (not really in the budget)
Are there signs/symptoms I should look for (I'm considering doing the repair myself)?
Could there be an inherent flaw in this used motor from Japan (2010) I am not aware of?
I love the Previa and would really like to hold onto it, but these repairs are seriously adding up! Thanks for your tips/advise.

If it is… ??
Needs to be corrected or you'll burn another. Possible vacuum leak, weak injector, etc.
