Engine supplier?

Going to be replacing my 3RZ soon. I’ll either get a rebuilt one or a brand new. Has anyone had any experience with Toyotatruckengine or Yota1? Recommendations on someone else? Seems like toyotatruckengine got a decent price on engines. Thanks.

These are the guys I used:
https://www.yotashop.com/
They are very pricey in camparision to other engine suppliers/remanufacturing but I was thoroughly impressed with the motor I have received. I have been warned about "Brand New Blocks" that originate from china and are far inferior than the Japanese counterparts. I ordered my engine as a "Dressed long block" and pretty much came as a plug and play unit. I did have to put on all the brackets, aux systems as usual but did not have to delve into the "guts" themselves. This was fun actually.

It came in a very big and heavy box, went straight from the semi to the back of my truck.

Ordered a new AISIN clutch, flywheel as well

Mmmmm, that new engine smell.

Wrapped that rascal.

That's the last drop of oil you spill on my floor, you dirty bastard.

I did crate up the old engine and sent it back for my core charge. I called the shop prior to shipment and they sent me a freight ticket and address where the crate is supposed to be dropped off at.

Taped over the inlets and exhaust to keep the crap out. Started bolting on the externals.

Mock up going very smoothly.

I did remove the fan clutch prior to installation, only did this for picture purposes....just looks like it wants to fly



That's pretty much it in a nutshell....or should I say in a Tacoma. As stated before this was probably the more expensive route to take but from start to finish it was a no muss or fuss ordeal. Yes, there were a couple of hick ups along the way but nothing I could not figure our or ask the fine folks here on the Tacoma World forums.

 

Jasper has a great reputation

 

Nice! Thanks!

 

Sunwest, they're one town over from me and have a stellar reputation

 

For the price of new I contemplate just going for the yotashop 5VZ. They seem to have a pretty good reputation.

 

I'm thinking about buying a new one off of toyotatruckengine. What made you go with the other route? What gaskets did you need to transfer everything over?

 

Hi, Did you or anyone have experience with toyotatruckengine.com? The cam shaft has broken on my 04 Tacoma and I am considering them. I live in Glenwood Springs. Thanks, Bob SkiBob

 

what mileage are you contemplating having to do that at?

 

2004 Tacoma with 180,000 miles. I bought it a year ago and have driven it less than 3000 miles. I am wondering about toyotatuckengine.com in Colorado Springs?

 

Not sure - maybe just to get one. It's either that or find a low mileage donor engine. Already rebuilt the R150 trans so why not go all out and do the engine too I have 200K on my current engine. Runs great with no issues right now. Just looking into the future of how long I am going to keep my 1st gen. Kind of want it to stick around for a while I think.

 

Sunwest is a pretty good shop. Kinda far away from the OP.

 

Hi, Any experiences with All Engines & Transmissions in Westminister, CO. I need an engine rebuild and install. Thanks. Ski Bob in Glenwood Springs 04 Tacoma 3.4 L V6

 

I ended up ordering a rebuilt engine from Yota1. I haven’t got it yet.

 

Engine should be here Thursday. I’ll get picks of it then.

 

How did this go for you?

 

I went with jdm(Japanese domestic market) these motors apparently get pulled around 50-60k In Japan because the emissions their are stricter after those mileages. I got mine for 1750. It’s been about 5k now still good so. So far I say it’s fair. You get 90 days warranty so. You can even get a compression check if you want

 

It went well. No issues. Still running great.

 

Them JDM went up just like plywood,,,llol
