Toysrme Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 you own a 1993 toyota camry with better trim on it. you can use a 92-93 camry/ES/windom v6. the cost of them is identical as they both come from the toyota parts chain. (just under 2 grand) if replacing i would use a japanese import to replace it for $500-700. what do you mean by crack??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By crack I mean that there was a crack in the block from overheating that allows all the coolant to leak into oil Where would I find a listing of these Jap imports? or a place that sells them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
