Well 1 month after selling my rav, i have been informed it has died. They just had it checked out and turns out the one of the connecting rod bolts had come out. Then causing it to bend up against the block and break the block
I wouldn't have sold it if it showed signs of being on its last leg. Compression tests and everything were all good and wasn't knocking or anything.
Also found out the shop who replaced the oil pan when i the rav 8yrs ago put a silcon sealant on it. Which apparently isn't correct.
So if any of you are replacing you oil pan anytime soon. Check the bolts on the bottom of the engine. It save your car.
Never rode it hard or nothing so im surprised by seeing this happen.
RIP rav
