Should i get off the couch and do something?

Check No or No

 

Conflicting answers now

Booo

 

Your Tacoma is begging for use

 

Run my errands for me?

 

hmm. I could work on my LCA bushings... also in the middle of adjusting the valves on the crawler lol

 

It must be cause if the solid rear axle that they lose control so much. Or maybe they’re mostly autos, so they can’t stab the clutch to straighten out.

 

ummm

too far. Maybe I'll swing by and help out sometime though

 

On the 22re? I didn’t know they needed adjustments like the 3rz to avoid burning a valve. The 1FZ and 5VZ don’t have that really.

Have you had to do timing chains on the 22re?

 

I vote C. Inexperienced dumbasses on shitty tires

Have you driven one? They can hook up with dummy launch control and good tires.

The '16 I got even had a line lock.

 

*5VZ exhaust valves have left the chat

 

Like other offenders, they should at least be forced to go around and tell their neighbors when they first move into the neighborhood.
Maybe even have to put a sign in their yard.

 

I’ve just ridden in the back once on a test drive.

 

Always something to do


Summers almost ooooover

 

Oh I’ve never heard of them having valve issues, just cracked heads sometimes when people overheat them or never change the coolant.

 

Yeah that's completely different.

 

the 22R valves don't burn as easily, but they do need to be adjusted occasionally. I'm chasing a few issues so I'm doing the valves. A couple exhaust ones were a few thousands too tight. Hopefully it runs a bit better all buttoned up

 

Yep, pretty common as in...many people neglect it and they get really tight over time

Bet yours are long overdue

 

I searched on YotaTech a while ago and they mostly said not to touch them unless you hear a noise or have an issue like a misfire or something. The time to check them would be while doing the VCGs, but the PO already did that. I have good compression, anyway.

 

But you didn't confirm by posting on r/ToyotaTacoma, mud, facebook, and TW all at the same time
