It’s not clear from that thread what the common problem(s) are. Some ppl say cooling system, others say supercharger, and at least one person seemed to suggest timing chains.

In any event, you’ve got a big enough home shop that you could swap the engine if you needed to, and enough cars that it wouldn’t be that big a deal having one out of commission for a while.

In any “should I sell this” scenario, the question is “and replace it with what?” Could you find a car that does everything that does for the cost of that car plus a new engine? Maybe a new Land Cruiser? But I’m not sure it’s better for what you want, and you’re basically spending the cost of a new engine to buy a car to avoid spending the cost of a new engine.

Anyway I say do the maintenance and keep it.
