Well, I picked up a 2nd Gen 4Runner with a bad knock in the motor. Just pulled it out and everything has gone pretty well so far. I did break one fitting that had 2 vacuum lines going to it and I'm not sure what it is... need to figure that out so I can replace it.

Here are some pics:

Home safe and sound










The fitting in the back used to have two vacuum lines, bottom one is broke off. Any ideas what that is?
Only thing I broke taking the motor out... hmmm what is it?

autozone has it. its a vacuum ported switch.

 

I'd try doing this first... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...ix-pics-84460/

 

Thanks for the info! I will definitely be fixing it...


Well, now that think about it. While I have the motor out I will likely put headers on it eliminating the EGR and PAIR valves. Can I get rid of more of this crazy vacuum madness?

Another option same idea

 

how far into the rebuild are you? have you thought about the 3.4 swap?

 

I am definitely considering it. Looking for motors right now.

 

i think its worth it. double the power and way less issues.
