    Quick Links: Clutch kits for 5vz-fe/r150f 1999 Tacoma SR5 TRD Imperial Jade Build, Sweat and Tears 5VZ-FE - cam pulley Torque (217lbs!?) Bent my Cam holder tool! What to use? Did I get a busted or even the correct VSV? What performance rotors and pads to you run with stock calipers? Was this a reasonable charge to diagnose/replace ignition coil?

I like the title but I disagree with “no one talks about the 3.4”

    Even though it’s an old ass design it’s cool to see it get good press decades later. Gives me good 1st gen feels, as if I have room for more.

    An idea I can get behind. How do we gloss over the waste spark ignition? I could see that derailing the presentation.

    for them its either.....bo hoo ....I've got a blown head gasket......or a newbee here to pick our brain , and show off the mouse they caught.....

    The 5vz ers......oh my gosh.....bunch of drama queens.......always something with these guys....
    IF they're not spending money, its because its been parked in garage......


    The new tundras mostly have this same engine turbo'ed......were gonna get to see how good it really is.......
