    I tried posting this in the for sale forums but since I haven't posted 50 times, it won't let me. I really am not knowledgeable enough about Tacos to be worth 50 posts so....

    I have a 3.4 liter out of a 2001 Tacoma PreRunner. Has appr. 210k miles but was owned by my father its entire life. Last year he thought he had spun a bearing and bought a new Tacoma. He passed this one on to me as a project. After pulling the motor I realized the problem was not a spun bearing but the flywheel had broke off. I had already bought a low mile replacement motor so I swapped it anyway.

    What I have is the long block and it is missing the intake (will include but it broke off at the corner bolt hole). I have a box full of various accessories as well, coils, fan, etc. $250 takes it all

    Sorry to offend those who get upset about not having 50 posts, but would you rather me start annoying newb threads?

    This is the third thread I've seen link to the Gender Flares in just the past 30 minutes :rofl:



    OP: You'll definitely want to throw some pictures up. Did you by chance get any videos of it while installed and running? Compression tests or leak-down tests? Some things that may help move it. Although, it is already at a really good price if it's a fine running long block. Good luck :thumbsup:

    Unfortunately no compression test or videos of it running since I considered the engine a loss with the suspected failure being main bearings. I guess I could do a compression test on it sometime this week.
