Thanks, will do since the timing belt kit came with valve gaskets so I’ll get to the valves when I do that. Needs to be done soon anyway since the plug seals are leaking a little oil into the spark plug tubes in C5 & C2.

I started watching them last night lol I plan to get a 1st gen 4Runner and swap it within the next year so I will probably completely rebuild it then if I get around to doing that.

Yeah, I just finished my timing belt and water pump this weekend actually. What had happened is my plug went out when driving and everyone and every forum I read said my belt slipped and is off timing is why it constantly misfired. I was sceptical but it had been over 90k since it was changed...

I put the new plug in and it runs great. It’s been slowly leaking coolant since about August 2017, I fill my overfill resivoir about once a month maybe, but it only leaks mostly when I park it uphill and not start it for a few days and then it just smokes lightly for about 5 seconds and no more...

Hey there everyone, I’m fairly new here and haven’t found anything on compression tests. I just did one on my 98 S/C runner and mine weren’t perfect. I’m no mechanic so I’m not sure how much play should be between them. Here are my results. I had a fouled plug in cylinder 4 because I was...

Just did my timing belt on my 3.4 and and hour later found out that my hose clamp for the oil cooler on the water pump wasn’t tight enough and slipped off and drained all of my coolant out. So I’ve had some fun with my runner today

Awesome Build!! I want to do my 98 like that but it’s a rust bucket so I’m trying to find a nice clean frame

Looks really clean. Mine is a 98 and it is a rust bucket, nice find.

Cool thanks a lot man. Really helped me understand it more than I've read before. I'm mostly just doing it to go fast haha I prefer more low end torque since I don't go on the highway much for work. Are there any other type of inexpensive but effective and not ghetto rigged upgrades I could make...

New here so I apologize if I'm in the wrong thread but I have a 98 3.4l v6 with the 1st gen supercharger and am wanting to upgrade it to the 2.2 pulley. Does it really make a noticeable difference? I'm mostly wanting more low end/ mid range torque. Should I go smaller(2.1)? Also what else would...
