Hi,
I have a 2004 prado 4.0 V6 petrol.
I experienced an engine failure and choose to have the repair done by an ex-toyota technician that recently started up his own workshop.
I now need advice/ direction because the said technician cannot diagnose and solve the problem.
This is my story ....
Engine overheated due to waterpump failure.
Started smoking ...white smoke.
Brown coolant sludge on oil cap.
Removed cyclinder heads.
Engineers pressure tested the heads ... no problem found.
Light skim and no warping of heads.
Replaced head gaskets.
Replaced radiator.
Replaced water pump.
Replace thermostat.
Problem now is that the technician now says that headers and pipe is glowing red hot on left side.
Technician says timing is set correct.
Also, removed pre-cat .... because technician suspected it was blocked.
Please advise on possible things that could be wrong before I tow away the vehicle and let the Toyota dealership try to diagnose the problem.
Thanks in advance.
