My dad knows his way around Toyota engines like I know my way around my local shopping mall — he’s been working with them since I was a small child and still tinkers whenever he can now that he’s retired.
He sometimes used to buy beat up and broken down engines, not just Toyota but any he could get his hands on at a good price, fix them up and give them a clean and then sell them on at a profit — he loved doing it and my Mom loved the extra money so it was a win win situation. He got ripped off a lot along the way by some dodgy dealers though, even as a self professed expert he was conned a few times so I feel for people who aren’t in the know about engines.
