You only need one thread homie.

 

Depends on what's causing it.

 

1. Bad stem seals, read your plugs.

2. Bad rings, check compression both dry and wet.

3. Both 1 and 2.

 

And as far as repair costs, stem seal kits are relatively cheap, ~$40-60, and a rebuild seal kit can run about $300 plus machine shop costs about $300. So, anywhere from $40 to $600, depends on what's wrong. Of course, other than the machine shop, none of this includes labor.

I don't know, I've only rebuilt my own Toyota motor and did all the work myself using only Toyota parts.

 

I do know the stem seals (if they're the only thing that's failed) can be changed without removing the head (nor engine, of course) so Im not sure why its almost a grand. Then again, I haven't taken my car to a mech in over a decade so I am not the best person to chime in on this.
