Common Problems
Toyota GT86 Engine Problems - What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense
The Toyota GT86's FA20 boxer engine is generally robust but suffers from three well-documented issues: excessive oil consumption on early models, timing chain tensioner failures, and valve spring recalls on 2012-2013 units. Every rebuilt FA20 engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded piston rings, revised tensioners and recall-compliant valve...

Most affected vehicles

Toyota GT86 GT, Pro (2012-2016, FA20D-4U)
Failure mileage range
50,000-90,000 miles
Typical failure window
Root cause
Factory piston rings allow excessive oil passage into combustion chamber; worsened by short-trip driving and infrequent oil changes.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Top-up Management | £150 - £400 | £80 - £250 | Regular oil top-ups, switch to higher-viscosity synthetic, PCV valve replacement | Temporary mitigation only; does not fix root cause |
| Intermediate - Piston Ring Replacement | £2,200 - £3,800 | £1,400 - £2,600 | Engine removal, cylinder head off, new piston rings fitted, reassembly | Addresses root cause; 40k-60k mile solution if block not scored |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt FA20 Engine | £4,500 - £6,200 | £2,800 - £4,900 | Supply & fit upgraded rebuilt FA20 with forged rings, bench-tested, warranty included | Permanent solution; upgraded components prevent recurrence, 12-month warranty |
Our recommendation
On a GT86 worth £8,000-£15,000, a rebuilt FA20 with upgraded rings offers better long-term value than an in-situ ring job - especially if the block shows scoring. We recommend replacement if oil consumption exceeds 1L per 1,000 miles.
