Rebuilt my 3rz!!! SHES A RUNNER

New engine? Do you mean a used engine? If so valve cover gasket kit, oil pan reseal, and anything that would be hard to do in the truck like rear main seal.

 

Okay thanks!

 

nope. It’s new. Rear main seal is already installed. It’s a long block.

 

I’m going to get a new oil pan gasket. And valve cover gasket.

 

FYI most Toyota engines use a specific sealant (rtv) for the oil pan vs an actual gasket. I'm not sure about your engine.

 

So, I have't seen you specify what engine you're replacing. Is it the 5VZE or a 4 cylinder. Inquiring minds want to know.

Never Mind, I just saw the 3RZ in the title.

 

according to rock auto it uses a gasket but I’ll do more research on that.

 

It does not. They do sell a gasket but I recommend not using it as it will leak. Get yourself a tube of Toyota black seal packing from the dealer. Or use permatex black from the auto parts store

 

okay thank you for that info.

 

there is all different part numbers for that permatex black. Which one is the right one?

 

$8 Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, Sensor Safe And Non-Corrosive, For High Flex And Oil Resistant Applications 3 oz

Permatex 82180 Ultra Black

 

okay thanks. Another question for you. Which one of these is right for my engine?

 

Should be the $146 one from Yotashop. But you can get that for a better price on RockAuto (and probably elsewhere too)

You want the one that's a single pulley, I believe (double check what's on your blown motor). The triple pulley one is for the V6.

 

I used permatex "The right stuff" when I put my engine in. I would not use a rubber or cork gasket. No leaks here over 8k on my Jdm engine that included bonus injectors, pwr steering pump, alternator and starter with engine. Although I did have to remove the 6 groove pulley and put a 4 groove on to use the alternator. Same with pwr steering pump.

 

Heres a link for a harmonic balancer that won't cost an arm and a leg.

Here's a crankshaft Bolt, which is a one time use part

Good Luck and keep us posted when you get it running.

 

I have no idea if tacoma exhaust manifolds are problematic or not....
But if theyre not a fortune, ide throw them in...
Whatever you do, replace the exhaust manifold bolts with new oem toyota brand, regardless if theyre one time use or not...
Been an engine tech for ford for 30+ years....
As already stated, engine mounts & good on you installing a fresh radiator, good idea.
Eng mounts are a must, easy to do now...

 

thank you. Will do!

 

it has an lce long tube header on it.

 

yup I got engine mounts and radiator is maybe 2 years old. I jumped the truck and cracked the other radiator so had to replace it.

 

I saw mention of Dorman, if your using Dorman, which parts are Dorman?
Not a fan......
Ive replace 5 stat housings on my 00 explorer...
All leaked, all Dorman, cheap parts...

They offer a lifetime warranty but, not worth it depending on how deep your going in to do repeat repairs..
just my 2 cents.
