What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

And away we go

 

Nice! looks really healthy! Are you using the 3M roloc discs to clean the mating surfaces?

 

Haven't gotten to that decision yet, but i might.


and yah, it looks really really clean. You wouldn't know it had 200k on it.

 

Interesting technique with leaving the exhaust header attached.
I've always taken it all the way out in order to get the head out

 

There's quite a bit of movement in the exhaust, and i hate dealing with exhaust. I'll probably tie it back a little bit to make the reassembly easier.

 

If I ever take my head off again (lets hope I never have to), I'll have to try that. Always hate dealing with the flanged connection at the collector.

 

That the one is the worst. Its all corroded and nothing fits right.

 

Nice! Cant wait to beat on these!

 

Yea and since it sees the most heat, you pretty much have to replace those two gaskets anytime you separate it. Otherwise you will almost definitely have an exhaust leak there. Learned that one the hard way (multiple times).

 

12pt 14mm.... Same style holds ur flywheel on too

 

Spot the bad one.

 

Dude that looks great though. Like you have a great combusting running internals going on, by the looks of the head and the piston tops.
That should feel real good hermano

 

Considering the situation I bought this truck in, yeah, I'm stoked. Got super lucky.

At least, aside from this valve that has decided it wants to be really close to the cam.

 

How about a 95-97 double cab

 

How bout a SC LT 95-97 Double Cab

 

SC LT 95-97 DC 5-Speed swap supercharged?

 

SC LT 95-97 DCLB 5-Speed

 

Eh idk. The long bed thing is..eh.

 

It is a bit of a stretch
