Does the FA20 have replaceable cam bearings? Usually no for most aluminum heads. If not, the heads' got damage. I'm doubting it has replaceable bearings.
In the other thread I suggested flushing oil. Now I see your post. Guess it's like the VTEC oil screen as far as things I'm familiar with. Bummer. But that means you have RTV sealing a pressurized oil passage. From any engine designs I've ever encountered, pressurized oil passages are always sealed with a rubber or similar O-ring. For RTV to get past the oil filter would be impossible unless RTV was applied in an incorrect place or I've a lot to learn about the FA20 design still... |

No cam bearings, but the cam carrier is separate from the head and valve cover, both upper and lower halves.

Is there any reason why those with Toyotas *have* to use a Toyota dealership? Or is there the option to go to Suburu for the work? Maybe they have a method of charging back to Toyota. I am fortunate to not be affected by this recall, though I have a good friend that is. I really feel for him considering he has no problems at the moment and he’s sh#t scared of introducing problems after having the work done. I suppose what is even worse is that afterwards every single noise or rev it of place will get his heart going a little faster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

But , doing any internal work in an engine , without replacing the oil and oil filter is a recipe for disaster!

Are you sure about that? You'd think that they could handle replacing a $6 part. I'll make sure that mine gets replaced, it's time anyway as the car will be around 7500 miles since the last change when it goes in for the work.

Only the oil is listed in the recall instructions. That doesn’t mean some dealers will not replace it anyways but if they do they will have to eat the cost or forward it to the owner because Toyota isn’t covering it. |

That made me think that I should also bring in a Fumoto valve for them to put in instead of just replacing the regular drain plug.

Yeah, they changed the oil but not the filter on mine. I just changed the filter the other day about 800 miles after the recall. I cut the old one in half, stretched out the paper and inspected it for any evidence of sealant. There wasn't any. I know that doesn't guarantee I'm in the clear. But if there was sealant present, then I would've known to have a tow truck follow me everywhere I went.

In this case it’s the springs. Nothing in the oil system is recalled, why would I need a new filter? Seems like they could just throw it in, but 400,000 cars x $6? for a filter is an extra $2.4 million. |
