  Sun West 22re wasn't great. Head gasket at 12k, they don't even torque the head down. Shipping with it loose is a bad idea

  @NixonTV1Ай бұрын

  That’s a bummer. I can’t speak for their 22re but my 3vze seems to be doing good. Shipping process was easy for me and everything came dialed. I’m around 7k to 8k miles on it and still running strong.

  I'm about 7000 miles on a rebuilt top-bottom 3VZE (and 5dp manual stock orig 150R) in my 4Runner and it took them 1 year during covid. Parts supply issues. New pistons, cams & heads. These engines like conventional oil with elevated zddp in them, (bucket shims) and follow the factory Toy manual. I'm using 10w40. Prior to rebuild, there was cam wear using off-shelf oils. And of course Genuine Toyota red coolant. I will fiberglass wrap my crossover pipe like you did. Only use Denso genuine engine components from authorized denso dealers. I am the second owner of mine since 31 years ago. Mine has sentimental value as it has saved me during my travels into Mexico, many trips were in excess of 600 miles. Once I pulled a Van on a dolly roughly 400 miles back from Mexico. (prior to the rebuild) which did stress the drive train /tranny but no damage.

  Shit I’ve got 2 of these exact 4Runners and one with over 200whp 3.0 that I built. We have no smog here though. Deffintly upgrade your tank to rail fuel line to -6 a thru a washable high flow filter on the fram somewhere. That alone blew my Mine how much power I gained along with bigger injectors. And yes it is the exhaust that does it but they have a kit on eBay o straight 2.5inch headers is what they call it but it seems to help. I’ve tried everything except the turbo so far but the did have a turbo charged version so the block is pretty tuff.

  Hey buddy, your videos are spot on and loving all the info. I am in the finishing stages of finishing up my 4runner. Piece of serious advice. PUT THE SHROUD ON for the radiator if you haven't already. Not having it is a guarantee on your cooling system failing and I'd hate to see any damage done to what is proving to be a solid build effort. Keep up the amazing work bud. Your videos are showing me how to do more of my own maintenace. Some of the best I have found on the internet so far. :D

• 
  @nickt9467 Жыл бұрын

  @@NixonTV1 Yes, did ton of research, talked to mechanic friends, talked to the dealership. Only use the RTV in the corners as indicated in the FSM. And if yours is leaking like mine was, (rear passenger side corner) check the rear cam seals. That was my issue all along. So: 1.) Don't use a continuous bead of RTV, only a tiny dash where the seal goes up and over the cam bearing. 2.) If you use too much RTV it will definitely leak. 3.) Check to see if your valve cover bolts are stretched (half of mine were). Chances are someone saw the leak and just wrenched down on the bolts 4.) There's a strong likelihood it's actually the cam seal leaking. Definitely do those too. I think the Fel-Pro kits even come with new cam seals. Good luck
