Hi guys. This is the first time I'm posting in this forum although when i bought my 90 series, I have obtained lots of helpful info from this forum. I own a 1996 prado tz with 1kz-te engine. The engine was overhauled in March by the previous owner. I bought the vehicle in April. I've been very satisfied with the vehicle. I live in Pakistan in the north and while going towards the east on the motorway with both A/Cs on, the car heated up despite the temp gauge needle being in the middle. The Ac stopped working, the coolant evaporated and the engine oil needed to be replaced too. Meanwhile since then the piston noise is there as the mechanics told me. I need opinion about what could be the best option. Some people have suggested me to change the head assembly only as that would fix it and others have advised me to change the engine as the engine has been previously overhauled. I can put up a video here if needed. Would appreciate comments and opinions on this post.
