has anyone ever heard of someone cracking the engine blockfair around the #4 cylender.I have a 93 4 runner. on may way to work a few weeks ago I ran into a problem, lost all oil pressure. ok she low i thought dorve in to work, parked, and a few hours latter went out to look at her. oil all over the ground. oh not, look split around the #4 i can see the crank, the conecting rod, the piston moving up and down. yes its still running. how can that be there is a inch gaqp in the cast... if i could hook up a tanker to feed oil i could get another 1000 kms on her. but i think ill just get a motor! HOW the hell could this happen?? anyone haw a clue, id like to keep the next one running for a while.

Oh by the way Johnny, I wasn't laughing at your misfortune of a blown engine...I was laughing at the fact that you drove it into the garage and pulled the motor without having to unbolt it. ;D
