@deprecated_ii At first glance I thought I was looking are more MRIs of Redditor's missing parts of their brain.

@deprecated_ii I get that if cylinders are mentioned, that’s probably about the engine. I’ll be more specific: what’s the thing that looks like a plastic membrane? then, its rough edges are a problem or that it doesn’t seal what it should be sealing? And on the second picture are those casting flaws or…?

@dorkvalized everything in the pictures is (presumably) aluminumthis appears to be showing thin burrs left on the edges of the holes from drilling oil passages, burrs that then break off over time. the small circles are showing bits of loose metal. they could be bearing material since the engine already failed or they may have been knocked loose during cleaning to inspect the blockso, it appears toyota failed to deburr some engine blocks, which then resulted in hard metal debris in the engine, resulting in a failure of the oiling systemit is hypothesized that the oiling system has a flaw that's leading to oil starvation at the main bearings because the failures seem to always happen in the same place. so the metal debris may be the acute cause of the early failures, but long term the engines without this debris problem may still have oiling issues, especially with the long oil change intervals they're recommending (10,000 miles)

@deprecated_ii @dorkvalized they didnt run their dingleball hone or pressure washer through to break edges and chips for final cleaning, saving a cent here and therebean counters killed those engines

@deprecated_ii Oh, now I see. So what I took for a membrane is a sort of… ramp in a… pipe. Humu, thank you for the explanation.

@eee @dorkvalized it doesn't seem super likely to me that they changed processes just for this engine. maybe toyota blocks have always come with a bunch of debris but they could tank it because they were better designed overall :02_shrug: if I felt like being conspiracy-minded I could say having the dealerships perform all the early maintenance (you don't want to risk your warranty, do you, gaijin?) might help conceal lots of issues like this. how many people have ever seen what the first oil change on their new car washes out of the engine?

Deburring is also important because crack propagation. After thousands of heat cycles, they could develop even though they didn't show up in R&D (because they didn't skip that step). Threads protrude after bolts get torqued, messes with gasket sealing. It isn't a big deal when a motor is completely overbuilt, but when's the last time Toyota built something with less than exact specifications?
