3VZE differences???
 

I have a 94 4Runner with 3.0 and bought a 92 engine (I Think) and the circle next to the oil filter(screw on can with a hose) is not there on the replacement motor...Just a screw cap..
Can I put my (unidentified thingy) on the new motor?

BTW this site is really awesome.. helped me a lot just browsing threads.. thanks guys

sounds like your talking about the oil cooler?, some motors came with, some came without...

is it ok to put my oil cooler thing in place of this cap?

Yup.

Should bolt right on.

Thanks guys...hopefully will have motor in tonight.. WOOHOO!!!

yea just make sure the oil cooler isnt leaking before you put it in, otherwise its a tight fit to do it while its in there...i think wabbit sells the o ring kit for the oil cooler bolt.

FYI...you might want to make sure it's cleaned out..I've read on some posts brake fluid works...or you can take it to a radiator shop and have it cleaned...if it's a new rebuilt engine you might void the warranty if you reuse it..thats what my engine supplier told me..so I went with an eliminator plug. I don't tow with my truck.
