93 v6 4 runner head gaskets

Post by stumpjumper »

93 toyota 4 runner headgasket .

i have just had the heads taken off my v6 motor as the head gasket had blown, as i had nothing but steam pouring out of my tailpipe.
i took it in to be repaired but now they say it has a bent conrod because #1 pot had filled up with water. what i would like to know is how can they tell if the conrod and piston are still in the motor.

If the rod is bent the piston will have a lower "top dead centre" then the other pistons because the bent rod will make it sit lower
if it ain't broke send it to me i'll fix it!

These also have a problem with the block surface and often need machining when a head gasket goes.

A mate's v6 runner blew the heads at 200kays.
From what i've heard it's not uncommon to go at 100kays.
May be time for a conversion?
