2002 Toyota RAV4 4WD 159K Automatic 4 Door SUV 2.0 Liter 4 Cylinder Bad Engine

2002 Toyota RAV4 4WD 159K Automatic 4 Door Sport Utility 2.0 Liter 4 Cylinder Bad Engine!!

This vehicle is NOT drivable!! It runs but I would not recommend you try to drive it any distance at all. It has a heavy knock in the bottom end and metal in the oil pan.

When I bought the vehicle it had 3 stripped head bolts and a leaking Head Gasket. I repaired that problem by adding threaded inserts in the block and having the Head reworked.

The car ran great for 3 weeks after the repair but has now developed the bottom end knock. I do not have the means to do the repairs for this new problem as it requires that the engine/transmission come out from the bottom! The rod bearing are not accessible without removing the engine, I TRIED.

Other than the engine and a couple of dings in the Front Bumper and Rear Hatch shown in the pictures, this car is in great condition. The tires, interior, AC, Transmission, all work fine. It does need a couple of O2 sensors in the Catalytic Converter too. It starts and runs so you will be able to hear it run and drive it onto a trailer when you pick it up, provided it doesn’t throw a rod in the process.

Clear Title, new spare tire, jack, and owner’s manual. 27 MPG Highway, 22 MPG City. That’s actual mileage, not an estimate. When I bought the car in June 2016 it booked at $4000 with Carfax and $5000 NADA.
