I found a donor engine for my runner. It was involved in a 35 mph crash. 4runner ran into back of pickup.
Owner has all maintenance records.
Everything seems to check by pictures he sent over. But I know this upper pulley bracket is toast.ill swap it over my current Engine
And if you look closely at the Harmonic balancer there is a crack on the inner portion.
I haven't looked at mine yet but is that inner portion rubber or is that plastic? I would imagine if it's rubber then okay age and wear did that. But if it's plastic I gotta feeling that crankshaft might have been subjected to a nice hit.
Can anyone provide insight on what to look for or what other kind of underlying damage I should keep an eye on?
I tried looking for a check list of some sort so maybe a good thread to build on for others when buying engines from wrecked runners that don't run.
It was a well taken car of far. Owner is just parting it out.
I will put it neutral see if it spins after I cut the belts off i imagine that would be a good start lol
