You don't do it yourself. Take it to a radiator guy to do it for you. I don't think our equipment for that came in yet.

Replace

It depends on the engine and what's wrong with it. Different engines have different labor hours to dismantle, then we find which part is bad and replace. Payment for teardown is applied to rebuild or replacement once we determine which is needed. Yes on diesel but only small ones right now.

Do you deal in only mechanical parts? I am looking for aftermarket 2012 corolla front and rear headlights, as well as front and rear bumper skirts for same model.

A lot of things could cause this. Start with checking your engine oil (though if your mechanic is any good I'm assuming he did this already).

Each time you do one of the next things (in order), clear the code and see if it comes back. Worst case scenario is a new ECM so check these other things first:

Timing, oil control valve, vvt assembly.
Blinking check engine light suggests bad coil or misfire. I really can't diagnose your car and can only make suggestions sight unseen but get a good mechanic to check the above. No, it does not sound like you need a new engine.

Not in stock but may be available with 6-10 day delivery. I can't verify today for you because I have doctor's appointment and family arriving. You can call the shop if it's time sensitive and they can see which of our DC's have it.

Thank you. How about complete calipers for same vehicle? Since there's no piston in the link you attached as I'd love to replace the pistons as well.

It's not time sensitive. I wish to do it when I'm a bit free.

Drain all oil and redo oil change. Too much oil when you changed the oil was what we said.
