    Rebuilding my 1999 3RZ, and looking for quality parts (pistons, rings, main/rod/thrust bearings, gaskets, valves, etc.) Currently LCE is the top contender. Are they worth a damn, and is anybody else?

    LCE is top notch in my book.
    Good luck.

    LCE is great. I'm waiting until they start releasing 2TR-FE parts. Hopefully a turbo kit or something like that.

    Thanks guys. I'm pretty ignorant about this process, and my machinist recommended LCE. Just want to put the best I can afford in the truck so it'll last another 200,000mi :)
