Join me on this Christmas Special as I attempt to cure a chronic oilburning problem on this '96 Geo Prizm with almost 240k miles on the clock.

The procedures performed here will apply to these 4cylinder engines used on Toyota Corolla and Geo/Chevy Prizm vehicles 1993 thru 2002:
1.6L 4AFE
1.8L 7AFE

Part 1: Intro and vehicle history, symptoms, plan of attack.
Preteardown compression and leakdown check.
Cylinder head removal.
Part 2: Piston removal/cleaning, piston ring replacement.
Part 3: Cylinder head exhaust valve cleaning/lapping.
Part 4: Reassembly, startup, test drive, followup.

Enjoy the series, and Happy Holidays!
