Yes, it means the engine is bad. The only way around it is a rebuild or a new engine.
Correct me if I'm wrong. -------------------- |

If you want to swap to a beams or 3sgte, you may as well do it now. NO point in doing 2 swaps.

To make things easier, I would just put in a new low mileage 5sfe, and turbo it. Or do what I did and rebuild then turbo.
