Great to hear it! I have about 10k on it now
Only issues i’ve come across since the rebuild were bad injector seals(should have changed during rebuild) and the sparkplug ejecting itself from the head.
I torqued all plugs to spec but some speculate that particular plug hole may have had some crossthreading or worked itself out enough to rip out and i’ll be checking it regularly now. I dont see that as an ill effect of rebuild at all. Nice thing was that i was able to make it home about 30 miles on 4 cylinders when it happened. Otherwise its been bulletproof
New pics, no new scenery though. New babies turned this into a grocery getter
And one of the wife’s highlander that i just lifted and got new shoes for
