Hi all, I'm a new member here and I also recently moved to the Denver, CO area from Portland, OR. Anyway I own a 1995 4Runner.
I've had my 4Runner for some years now and I typically use it for my work truck since my primary car is a Dodge Charger. My truck have about 235K miles on it and it's still running pretty good. I've changed the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, and air filter myself a couple months ago. Anyway, I was wondering do you all know some good mechanics in the local area that can pretty much rebuild my engine for a reasonable price and if you can provide a not to exceed price, that would be great?
I bought an engine rebuild kit for it already. I have the extra money to rebuild the engine now even though it's still running good presently (excluding a minor oil leak). I'm afraid if I don't do it now while I have the extra money, I wont do it anytime soon hahaha. My buddy said don't waist money if it's still running good but I kind of feel differently about it since I have the extra money to actually rebuild the engine.
My engine rebuild kit came with the following and includes:
Graphite head gasket
Intake manifold gasket
Exhaust manifold gasket
Valve cover gasket
Viton valve stem seals
Camshaft front
O-rings
Front Seal Gasket
Rear Seal Gasket
Water Pump Gasket
Timing Cover Gasket
Other Small Gaskets
6 Pistons (standard)
· Standard complete Ring Set for 6 Pistons
· Wrist Pins
o Compression Ratio: 9.3:1
o Bore Diameter: 87.50 mm
o 1st Group: 1.50 mm
o 2nd Group: 1.50 mm
o Oil Ring: 4.00 mm
· Complete Main and Rod Bearings
o Main Bearing Set (Standard)
o Rod Bearing Set (Standard)
o Thrust Washers
· Oil Pump
· Water Pump (with Outlet Pipe)
· Timing Belt Kit
o 1 Timing Belt (193 teeth)
o 1 Tensioner (bearing assembly)
o 1 Idler upper - large
· 16 Head Bolts
