Tim, I wanted to fill you with some information about the T100 swap. I have everything swapped over from the 4 runner engine. Your guide is flawless. Differences for the T100, and more specifically a 4 runner motor is that the dipstick predrilled hole is in a difference location. The old motor in my T100 was a 4wd version, same motor, but the stick goes on the side, and not the front. No hole to swap places either. So when you switch pans, the dipstick won’t fit all the way in the front. And you gotta reuse the sump pump from the old engine, also cut the dipstick too so it will seat. This worked amazing for the T100, thank you for the guide. Mines a 95 and so it’s OBD1 so swap over the sensors and your gold. Thank you ray for making it happen as well. Cheers!

This is a great video tutorial for us non-mechanics; I have a blown gasket in my 2000 Toyota Tacoma, 5 speed, 2.4L and I was told to do a complete engine overhaul and quote too expensive for my taste; so I have decided to gather some info how to do this; I already did an overhaul and rebuild to our other 2004 Toyota Corolla which engine have been sitting under a tarp for 3 years outside but it would have to be into the bay at some point; I did it all myself as far as taking the engine out and apart; bought everything new on it after sandblasting block and head, re-bore and rectify after checking for cracks all good; a shop put the head back together for me and I took time with the timing and rebuilt carefully following the Hynes Manual and asking Toyota Mechanics from the Dealer; that Corolla needs to be assembled then the AC needs repair and it also has a recall for air bags, meanwhile the Tacoma was brought out of sitting 6 years on driveway and after replacing the Fuel Pump which was toasted at a cost of $400.00 from Autozone plus $270.00 to the mechanic that did the labor, the truck ran for few miles, started to overheat (no coolant or water enough in the tank, only less than a gallon and nobody checked!) and quickly I brought it home but once I turn the ignition off, next time it would not start; what i thought it was a bad started came to be the blown gasket after a compression test showed zero in piston 1 and 3 and 180 on 2 and 4.....Mechanic wants to fix it for $700.00 labor plus parts; he suggests an engine swap; I rather rebuilt this one as that engine has never been opened before and mileage is 209000...i thought of doing just the gasket but since I am not planning to sell the truck maybe could go all the way and rebuild, providing i can take it out of the bay on my own and get the parts as I did with the Corolla before; 2 giant task for someone like me who is not this type of mechanic; my work is Electro-Mechanical engineering but car mechanic is a science on its own. Your video gives me an idea what to expect, even it is not the same truck it can not be that much different; I hope the Tacoma Manual transmission is easier than this one here!

We showed everything in great detail so a total beginner could actually swap out their motor whether they're just simply pulling the motor and installing a used one or they are doing exactly what we did and pulling the motor, swapping over parts to a rebuilt and installing it. We pretty much know most people swapping out a 3.4 liter engine will consult our series at some level to help them with the job. It is to date the project I am most proud of to document. No doubt it will help keep more Toyotas on the road and out of the wrecking yards. It was a pleasure working with Rey and Joe.

Don't be nervous about using an old wiring harness. There's not a lot that can go wrong with them. As long as the wires haven't been compromised by a rodent eating the wires or there was an electrical fire, the harness will be fine to reuse. Off Road Solutions builds wiring harnesses for people swapping from one engine to a different engine but I don't know if it would be worth the money to have them build a stock harness for you. You would spend a lot of money for really no gain.

@TimmyTheToolman

Hey Erik, it's hard to give people advice on lifts because there's so much to consider. How are you going to use your rig? How much weight are you going to be carrying? What size tires do you plan on running. How much money do you want to invest? If all you care about is looks, you could go for some cheap Rough Country lift. If you plan on ripping through the desert, you would probably want a very expensive long travel lift. Something that would be affordable but decent would be a lift from Toytec or OME. If you want a more plush but expensive lift, King or Icon are popular choices. Do yourself a favor and be honest with how you think you're going to use your rig and that will narrow down your search. Could you spend $4,000 on a long travel kit so you can just cruise the mall parking lot? Of course you could. But, in my opinion, that's a huge waste of money. If you're going to do some hard core wheeling, go to town and spend a fair amount of money on your lift, armor, bumpers, winch, etc.

Rey's old engine spit out a spark plug from one of the heads. He was able to fix it with a helicoil insert but he lost confidence in the motor. He hunts a lot in the backcountry and wants a dependable engine. So, was it absolutely necessary for him to replace the motor? No, it wasn't. But, he now feels better that his rig will be less likely to leave him stranded somewhere. What those vacuum lines that go to the power steering unit do, I don't exactly know but it's a good question and maybe I'll do some research on it in my manual.

I'm guessing you're talking about the crankshaft timing gear. That gear should full seat against the timing washer in front of the belt. Then the crankshaft pulley goes on and the crank bolt holds everything in place. So, your question is confusing me. That timing gear can only go on one way and that's fully seated. I don't know how it could no be aligned right.

You could address the piston that has the worn out rod bearings but I think the cost to fix the damage the piston had created may exceed the cost of just throwing a new/used engine in there. It will save time which could save money. If you are willing to take your chances with a used engine, this will definitely be the more cost effective solution. If you’re like Rey and want a dependable engine for long trips in the wilderness, I would recommend getting an engine you can trust which means new or rebuilding it to be sure it’s sound and trustworthy.

hey timmy, would appreciate a word of advice here. just blew my 1997 4runner's geadgasket and am considering my options. it's at 192k miles and is currently hydro-locked due to coolant in cylinder #3. also have coolant in oil. what would you do in this situation? replace the headgasket and risk possible bottom end issues? or would you just swap in another used engine? unsure what i'll do. thanks!

I would try to fix the head gasket issue if it were me. These engines are known to last over 400k so doing the labor involved could very well worth your time. With a used engine, you really don't know what you're getting.

I've read all of the comments here and haven't yetwatched your trans removal video. I'm down to one 17mm bolt. It is the bottom most bolt on the passenger side that holds the engine to the trans. It is fully obstructed by two lines from the trans to the bottom of the radiator. Even if the trans and the engine were pulled as a unit it would be ridiculous to remove. I'm going to have to remove it 1/32nd of a turn at a time. F'ing ridiculous. 2004 Tacoma. Spent four hours (alone) just to remove the starter and bust the trans bolts loose. And that's with the heads and oil pan already removed. I have also removed the grill and the radiator. From my perspective the trans and engine should be removed/installed together as a unit. Removing the engine alone is proving to be very difficult.

@TimmyTheToolman

Sounds like you've had quite the battle. Your 1st Gen Tacoma shouldn't be that much different than a 3rd Gen 4runner. They have the same drivetrain. Maybe you should have disconnected the trans cooler lines to make it easier to get that bolt out. If you've tried to remove an engine and trans as one unit, you'd know that's not exactly easy either.

I think you can do it by keeping the trans bolted in. It would be beneficial if you could get someone's help when it comes time to getting the engine aligned with the trans though.

Having an extra set of hands just makes it less of a pain in the ass. Glad you appreciate the video and good luck with the job.
