    That's a pretty big I6, is the 1fz-fe as reliable or more so than the 5vzfe?

    i think it depends, some had some head gasket problems but some didnt. but i would have to say its more reliable because for one its inline and 2 it has a timing chain vs a belt

    Put new spark plugs in it. I thought they would be the originals from the factory. It was worse than that, someone used autolights. I put NGK back in it so I should be good for awhile:)

    Swapping out the 881 coils to 883's tomorrow. I don't have what it takes to remove the coils so I'll drop them off at a shop and pick them up in the afternoon after work.
    I put the stockers back on cause i don't have tall enough jackstands.
