Thanks for the input man.

With regards to the a 90 degree scope, I agree that I'm not able to see the valve from the cylinder end. I do see a visible gap between the valve and seat when it should be closed. you're right now, doesn't necessarily mean that its bent as that was my initial impression.



Got a trailer coming tomorrow at 6 a.m. to get to toyota at 7 for the initial round of what they said they need to do. "It will need to be inspected so that parts can be ordered" Not exactly sure what inspection it will go through, guessing probably just a VIN verification/check. Hopefully they have no issue with me leaving the car there for the duration.



With regards to the salvage title, I am not as concerned about the title portion itself as I am about the car not even being registered to me yet. It is still under the shop/dealer that I bought it from the auction. I can't get it sold/transfered to me until we do a state pre-inspection of damages and then a final inspection of damages fixed prior to it being able to be signed over to me.


But time will tell. I will certainly keep the relevant threads updated with what I come across.



I did change the oil just in case to inspect it, and did not find anything what I would consider abnormal as far as metal shavings/shiny reflections.

Thanks for all the input thus far.
