I'd dump that 5-30 real fast. Go to at least a 15-40 or 20-50. 20 wt. is pretty thin at room temp. I'd only use a 15-40 in winter. These oils aren't thick enough to cause problems, but a too thin...

If you're going to use common lead-acid batteries, you are a fool. At least get a BUNCH of rechargable lithiums, like the future Prius will use.

What I was looking for is how Toyota solved the BHG problem--e.g., more head bolts, "O"-ringed heads/block, just higher bolt torque, etc.

That should be resurfaced! Those "minor erosion cuts" are in the worst possible direction--a sure future leak path.

*IF* you didn't use the turbo much, and kept the boost low, you *might* get away with it. But Toyota figured that in "normal" use, the pistons would get too hot w/o the extra oil, etc. Then you...
