If the picture will show up read below,


when I bought the truck it has been like that so where does it connect to? it say to Fudge but cannot find it, if any of you have the same engine pls look for it were it will be connect too, thx.


On the red circle does it come like that? or does it have a place to connect?


On the red circle it seem to be leaking from there. I don't know if it is a oil pan gasket or HG or the seal behind the engine, it leak mild but I check the oil dipstik it seem to be fine.. so what do you guy's think were it is coming from?


this is the engine, it is quite clean..., people see it and they like how the engine was built and clean...


Here is my 4runner, took it to the trial and the truck own...


Here is the money that I bought the truck, if you can count it, thats how much I bought it...

Cool truck man, I bought my 94 150k miles for 400 less than what you paid. How many miles and do you know what as been done as far as service? And if you think you have a head gasket problem call up your local Toyota Dealer and ask if your truck has been repaired through toyota due to the head gasket recall. You will need your vin.

my truck is at 212,000 miles, the previouse owner has the top end done, valve, head, timing belts about 11,000 miles ago but the bottom block has not been done yet, it has some rust on it so I think I need to replace that since that is the cause of the head gasket problem, I heard toyota already ended the campaign last year so guess I'm tolate for that... so how much if I be replacing the block? include labor, so I need a block that will replace the one they recall the HG.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Re: your poll. I like the engine and interior of the new runners but dislike the styling and bloat - so I bought a used 2002. The body is just perfect IMO. in the distant past, I owned a 1991 runner.

Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Are you SURE that your Headgasket is blown?
Sure it isn't your valvecovers?

And if your going to replace the engine, swap in a 3.4!
3.0:
150 HP
180 lbs of torque

3.4:
190HP
220 lbs of torque

And you can get a 3.4 for a little more then a 3.0
Takes a *little* more time, but hey, if your gonna get a new engine, might as well get a bigger and better one while your at it!

-Dano-

yeah was thinking of the 3.4 swap but do I have to get the 3.4 computer or ECM? oh and the transmission also? or will it fit on the 3.0 trans. and is it legal to swap? my uncle has a 3.4 and I ask him he didn't reply so I think it will not but what do you have? do it need to be cut to fit it in? if you know how much to swap and labor pls do tell me so I won't get worry... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I don't remember the companie's name off-hand, but there is a company that specializes in the 3.4 swap. They have all of the hardware, wireing harnesses, ect.. that you need.

Not sure how much a shop would do it for, but it does bolt right up to the 3,0 Transmission.

hey coyotekid, will the 3.4 fit on the automatic transmission or only for 5 speed?

Coyotekid, I believe you're thinking of Off Road Solutions.

The kits say that the A/T 3.4 swap is doable but you have to use the A/T and t/c from the donor 3.4 vehicle. Also, the kits available at ORS are about $500-650 more for an auto vs. manual.

After re-reading your question, I guess what I really mean is no- your existing A/T will not work.

just a quick question on my 4runner. Just found a 2cm crack in the fron axle passengers side next to the fixed mounting bracket. would the best option be to weld it or replace??

also im having problems with a constant grinding noise everytime I turn left or right, anyone know what could cause this and how to fix?? first thought the joints needed replacing but it seems they r ok..
