Toyota 3.4 Liter V6 5VZ-FE Engine Replacement

Valve covers can be done in a couple hours, someone is BSing you. Fuel injectors are not loud enough to hear inside the cab

 

5vz valve wear is different from most engines. The clearances get tighter over time and they’ll eventually start burning up the valve. When the engines not ticking at idle you have an issue

 

Wow. Extensive job. But I have two words Trade In. lol. But kudos to your rebuild

 

thank you, Toyotaholic
would there be any noticeable oil consumption at or nearing that point of tighter clearances? my engine does not consume oil that is noticeable, still full at 5k!
i believe i still hear normal ticking at the idle (in addition to some abnormal whirring noise coming from underneath that goes away when the clutch is fully pressed to the floor (rebuilt R150F and new OEM clutch parts recently))

 

They call him: Thread from the Dead.

 

Looks like a promising forum to gather for questions comments concerns regarding this particular engine
