dude i would suggest calling Toda and talking to them about this.. if it is indeed a cracked sleeve it gives you an excuse to get forged pistions imo... since toda has re-managed they can give you couple of quotes to rebuild it..

all the best champ

Toda closed down ages ago!

Have you tryed hitting it with a hammer. Or telling it to behave its self. or both simultaneously.

I dunno why you'd buy a car not running right. At that price

Best bet. Dismantle and remantle the motor fixing whats needed!

Worst comes to worst pick up a new B20 short block from a junk yard, $500-700?

Toda PARTS are now being sold via another trader. AFAIK they do not offer mechanical services
