    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    No worries brother, was only half serious. I'm sure I can find one at a local pick n pull much easier than you mailing one from Canada.

    This happened as I was tidying up the shop Tuesday. I disturbed the bed from the parts truck and it fell over and just hit the welding cart. I thought 'I'm gonna die'.
    But this was all that came of it.
    :facepalm:

    I picked up an engine stand this evening and got the engine on it. Man that thing is heavy.

    I've been enjoying my sand blasting booth a little too much. Been cleaning up customers bolts and other parts while doing automotive work for them.

    Hopped in the truck today and it ran horribly.
    Sounded like it was missing a cylinder or two. It was making very little power, it was back firing and the check engine light was flashing.
    I made it to the shop and pulled the spark plug wires, coil packs and spark plugs.

    I shouldn't have been suprised but there were incorrect plugs in the truck.
    I shake my head.
    :facepalm:

    I cleaned the spark plugs from the spare engine, gapped them and put them in my truck.
    I tested, cleaned up the coil packs out of the spare engine and put those in my truck.
    I tested the spark plug wires the were in my truck and they were fine.

    Truck seemed to be ok and we'll see what happens tomorrow.

    To be clear, the two ngk plugs on the left are the incorrect plugs for the 1st gen tacoma's.
    The one denso plug on the right is the correct one. It's even printed on the plastic timing belt cover on the truck "use only..."
