    Hey TW!
    My beloved bulletproof 2002 Tacoma hit 340,000 miles this week!! Well done TOYOTA!!
    It’s creeping into the mileage range where the engine will need to be rebuilt soon. I ONLY replace engine components with oem so i need a complete oem rebuild kit. where is the cheapest yet guaranteed oem kit be purchased on those world wide webs?
    thanks in advance everyone!

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    toyota sells a full gasket kit. everything else is individual. if youre not having issues i dont really see a need to preemptively rebuild it. my 95 is at 486k on the original 3.4. runs and sounds just fine

    I suppose if you've owned it all its life....and changed the oil religiously every 5K.....uses no oil...

    then you might roll the dice and just replace/rebuild the heads....

    still a gamble tho...


    Its the bottom two oil rings that wear out.....so a compression test may not tell the whole story....
    would need to endoscope it and check the cylinder walls....
