I’ve got a O2 4Runner just replaced with a 98 Engine. Had to rewire a couple of clips that broke. It’s been running fine for a few months lately. Intermittent no start no codes. Everything is pointing into a camshaft sensor or crankshaft sensor in the midst of rewiring. The camshaft sensor now...

So I knocked the cat on pavement lightly and did have debris come out. I bought some Cataclean and ran that. Wow. It’s been a long time. clearock sorry for the late response. Been going through it lol hey you still interested in stopping by to check this out? I will be running the scanner again...

The used motor is in and I am back on the streets. Found some metal sparklers in the oil pan in somewhat milky but not really that bad. I don’t know. I think it was a lifter failure and small pieces were damaging the spark plug. So things far are good. It runs great. Now wanting to tear the top...

Hey Jon, did you see the used (New to me) motor where the block broke off a bolt sleeve? I noticed yesterday it looked like the freeze plug was leaking… What would you do? I was thinking about getting JB welder marine and boat and call it good. Really would like to rebuild my 02 motor. The 99...

Thanks again for all help. I ended up accepting that there is some sort of internal damage n if I don’t stop pushing it I will have total engine failure in the process of replacing with used motor this weekend… removed the oil pan saw a little bit of milky very little. Forgot to take a...

I did get them out. I hired a guy to help me pull rebuild and install. we did it together in like 2 1/2 days … now need to hook up hoses, wires, sensors etc.. The guy I hired had a caravan full of tools. He had extensions like Charlie above… (more than I have, and longer lol) with a 600-800 ft...

URGENT oh man Emergency I did get them out and I’m putting the new engine in and the engine that’s going in is used motor where the motor mount bolts to the block somebody knocked part of the block off and so I have no threads to attach my third bolt. I don’t know what to do suggestions?

Emergency URGENT! Installing NEW motor and … Could you please take a look at these pictures and let me know what I should do? I can get a few threads in maybe like two turns but the actual part of the block is broken off on the used motor that I just bought and replaced everything on it getting...

Just looking at the intake on this used motor I could see the varnish was 10 times worse than my intake …replacing the motor and now I’m working on the oil pan and I can see the start of sludge but what do you do? I’ll see if I can post a picture but there’s definitely sludge buildup.. Can you...

I am actually replacing the motor so I don’t have to take any suspension out but I’m looking at the oil pan off and I’m seeing a lot of varnish on this used motor. It definitely wasn’t cute. Cute. Any suggestions on cleaning or should I leave it alone and just run additives?

I have extensions with a wobbler and three taped together, but I'm struggling to get the fulcrum right. I've tried different links in various spots, and at this point, I need to get back on the road ASAP. Got all the exhaust bolts off now except for the one on driver side behind valve cover… I...

Back to the board OK, thanks guys, time to get some legit parts. I guess I had no idea that there are so many imitations out there. I will be filling you in as things transpire

Thanks Charlie. I didn’t see this before replacing the near OEMMAF same issues. I will take it back off and get some MAF cleaner …attaching picture of what I thought were OEM wires.

OK, so I replaced with verified Denso. No longer getting damage to the plug. After the compression test, which I believe discharged an object. No further damage to the plug thus far. ran diagnostics only to find multiple misfires on the left bank 246. I’m thinking maybe the mass airflow might be...
