1991 Toyota 3VZE rebuild
Just thought I would show some pictures of my engine before and after the rebuild. My first rig so I'm proud of how it came along and I plan to do much more with it. It had a blown head gasket, burnt valves, and a roasted clutch. All new and replaced.

Extremely clean inside and out. 5 speed manual. The sticker is there since the area code up here in idaho is 208. I'm the only one with it right now, I like it because it's something that really distinguishes my yota from everyone else's from the front.

I love seeing an engine that clean! Shows a real attention to detail. Keep up the good work.
What are you going to do with the exhaust system? I have a thing against the factory crossover on the firewall end which is why I put headers on my '91 4Runner. Gets all the heat out of the engine compartment fast and doesn't cook the back 2 cylinders.
Have fun!

People always stop me and ask if I have a v8 in the thing, it sounds absolutely mean.
Once this engine goes bad, whenever that may be since I only did the top end and not the bottom end due to insufficient funds (203k miles on bottom end), I'm pry going to do a swap. I'm either going to put a 3.4 v6 out of a Tacoma in it or a 350 small block. Then I'll put heads on whichever one of those I choose. I don't wanna put much more money into this 3VZE.
Main reason for all of my choices is funds. One month left of high school until I graduate until I can start working full time and make money, until then I'm pretty damn broke haha
