    Hello yall,

    My buddy (who's a mechanic) and I took my engine out (2tr fe) of my 05 five-speed, to get it rebuilt. He can no longer help me put it back in (it's done now)

    Is there a comprehensive guide on putting it back in available somewhere?

    OR

    Is there a God-sent person whod be available for phone calls or guidance on this?

    I'm not completely mechanically worthless (I've changed u-joints, cooling system, and ball joints by myself) But this seems a bit overwhelming to do by myself.

    All the bolts and screws are in separate, labeled bags. I just wouldn't even know where to begin.

    Thanks in advance


    - Robert

    I'm useless there, but post your location and that would perhaps bring people close to you

    I would put in a Post in the Regions Forum in the forum in your area: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/regions.36/ It is by state and or regional area. You may even get someone that can come by and assist you.

    Best of luck in your quest!

    You might add if it's a long, or short block.
    And if any components are on it. Like the timing cover, water pump, valve covers.....
    Auto, or manual trans?

    Stuff like that. That way other folks know "what to expect". :thumbsup:

    Good luck man.
