New member, old Taco

Hello ladies and gentlemen. That’s my ‘96 Taco purchased new. Engine is in pieces now. Looking for a 3RZ guru in central NC.

 

Welcome !

what’s your dilemma?

 

great to be here!

Engine was removed, rebuilt and I need someone to put it back together. It’s quite the long story, but I have a mess and need someone who knows what they are doing and who’s willing and able to do it right

 

Well OTRA

Many members love long stories here!

Now I’m not saying someone going to rush to help you tomorrow……
However
If you’re concise, to the point you never know who knows someone near you just bc of the story you tell

pictures always helps your cause!

 

Might be worth dropping a line in the southeast region forum as well

I left my truck with person A who pulled the engine. Person B rebuilt the engine but took 9 months to complete. Person A is no longer available to replace the engine. I have a rebuilt engine and all the rest of the parts currently in the bed of my truck (under campershell). Now I need someone who knows the 3RZ well enough to put all this back together.

 

do you have a copy of the FSM with all the proper specs?
that taco sure is a beauty!
did u put bigger mirrors onit?

 

No FSM

It’s a truck and has been used as such. It was my DD until it blew

Those are mirrors from a newer Taco and yes, bigger. Originals are tiny. Wish I knew a good rearview mirror to swap
