TYetti's 2.7L Rebuild/FULL SEND/EAF build

Track your loss, keep a close eye on it. Pull some spark plugs and get some light in there have a look at the pistons, if theyre covered in oil or caked in gross sludge I'd say you're in the same boat, make sure it's not something simple like pcv too. It starts quite gradual but can increase without warning.

 

Thanks I’ll have to keep a eye on it. I did plugs a few years ago so I’m gonna do them again soon.
I’ll use a bore scope to see what I got.
I did the pcv and valve cover gasket recently.
I was all excited about the lack of build up it was clean inside.
I’m just over 172k but it hasn’t been pushed like yours at all.
Thanks again for the info.
I thought your rig would go forever!

 

It in all likelihood would have gone a lot longer, but we're dealing with a factory issue, not a use or abuse issue. My valve cover and valve train were mint looking too, I was still loosing 1L of oil per tank of fuel

 

Dammit just got a frame as well.
I am gonna check the pistons and keep an better eye on it.

 

Frame is next on my list once the engine is rebuilt mine passed inspection I just want the damn goop so I get a new one when it does rot

 

Yea mine was coated in 2015 parked on the lawn for a week while it dripped.
Mine looked like a missing/bad weld?

 

Ya they only extended the campaign in Canada late last year. But didn't have the coating set up.

 

I gotta say that crap made wrenching a dirty job.
With as much as you play with set ups and mods your gonna be wearing most of it!
You get 15 yrs on your frame I thought I read.

 

I believe it's 10 years from date of application. Meh it's worth the warranty.

 

My exhaust showed up. This is the last of the extra pieces, next up is tear down and install of some of these pieces

Shits gonna be loud

 

What am I looking at in the last pic?

 

Inside of the “muffler”

 

Can't wait to hear how this sounds!

 

Exactly like this BBBBBBRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÀAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

 

Ha I see it now looked a turbine in there but I see now.

 

I'm excited to get this going boys.. I want my truck back So I can go shooting other places than the range

 

You making progress?

 

I've got my shop space scheduled for the first week of Feb, just been getting some last minute details squared away. Spoke with the machine shop again and I'll be sending them the complete long block, so I'll get a basically turn key engine back, primed with oil and timed ready to rock. I decided to do this since they can get better deals on parts than I can and they've also done a couple 2tr engines already. It's been a bit of one thing after another since I got the parts together. The fiance also got a job offer in another city about 4 hrs away, so I took a time out to see what happened there. We decided to stay put till after the wedding and finish the truck asap

 

So unless the world ends this weekend, I'll be starting the deconstruction on my weekend lol which starts Tuesday or Monday night provided I get home early enough. I totally spaced and forgot to order flywheel bolts with the clutch kit so I just ordered some from LCE since they somehow have a better price than Toyota locally .... My landlord is letting me keep the truck in the shop until everything is done which is a nice surprise. I was fully prepared to roll the truck out of the shop and let her sit so he had access but a 24 of bud light (there's no barf emoji) has bought me the shop for the month lol... Also oddly arp doesn't make flywheel bolts for the 3rz/2tr

 

Lol gotta think it’s gonna be bad ass.
