Several folks have had the recall work done - just look through some of these valve spring threads. It appears that most of them have been satisfied with the work. humfrz |

Doubt that would happen. I would be more concerned that they screw something up and a great running car now has issues.

Right - how my new engine is affected - I get that...although I called Toyota and they actually told me to just bring it in to the dealer seemingly because they didn't or couldn't figure out where the refurb engine came from. My question was actually if they would consider actually admitting that my engine grenading could be from this valve spring problem...well after talking to Toyota again more...they will not.

I know we have to keep parts for "x" number of days after our claims are paid. If our rep comes around and does a warranty audit and the parts are missing, they debit back our warranty claim. We submit our "recalls" as part of the warranty. Likely the auto world does the same. |

Has anyone done a base dyno before the valve spring recall work and then afterwards , to check if the new springs provide less power?
Just my ocd brain working , instead of sleeping! |

My understanding is they are same specification springs, just ones that should not break\fail during normal service life of engine. Ie no difference |

1 month and 413 miles after recall work, my car started to make noises. 4 miles after that, the car started misfiring and knocking. Getting towed to dealer to have my engine replaced. |

I'm willing to bet they put too much RTV and an oil passage got blocked. I can't give advice, because the same techs that did my car won't be going yours. Go with your gut. |
