I grew tired of fixing things on my work van recently and took it to a shop to find an issue. $2500 and many parts later they finally
figured it out. Of course they broke some parts on the way there that were good when I started and also lost a trans. dust cover but
it's running now so I can't complain, right?

Both take knowledge but whatever. I think what is happening with the 86 is Toyota sells so few of them that they aren't familiar with the common failures and make assumptions based on what would normally cause a rocker to fail which would be an over rev which would float valves. They jump on the first excuse they can to deny a claim rather than dig through TSBs or call corporate to see if there is and history of failed rockers. My understanding is the newer cars have new pivots (with smaller oil hole) and longer valves which changes the angle of the rocker but the design of the pin on the rocker (which is apparently what fails) hasn't changed.
