[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1421029, member: 19880"] Has the shop offered to make good for parts and labor? (Have they admitted any responsibility?) Did their service include shim replacement or just a check - fairly unusual to need adjustments at 40,000 miles but not unheard of. As Fred mentioned, there is no way that a half quart (or more) low on oil would trash the upper end. If they changed shims, there are a number of things they might have done to mess it up. There is no way that an FJR engine (that has not been abused)should be significantly worn at this mileage. As far as parts vs replacement engine, I guess it would depend on what needed replacement. (You mentioned that they did a 2nd gear fix so I would be concerned that they messed up there as well.) A replacement eBay engine might be a bit of a crapshoot but, in the long run, it might be faster and cheaper than rebuilding... [/QUOTE]
