Hi All,

We have a LX 470 with 430,000 on the clock and although it is running extremely well and has been serviced regularly we think the engine may be getting a bit tied as our engine oil pressure gauge is reading at around 25%. 
Does anyone know what Toyota V8 engine model would easily installed into our Lexus ?   I am needing the same strength engine.

Firstly I would get your mechanic to use a known oil pressure gauge to check oil pressure.

I would also get a couple of oil analysis done to see what wear there is.

I would also get a compression check done.

THEN I would start chasing up a rebuild if needed..

Prob be a lot cheaper than another 2nd hand engine swap.

Thank you for the suggestion and I’ll follow up with all yours ideas.  
Thanks

Gilbert
