You mean like bearings for your engine?

 

Ha ha. Ok, you got me there! I don't trust Rock!


But on another note, I'm running Clevite and have no problems, and so is a buddy with a 600hp VR6!

 

i read on 4crawler's site makes sense to me.....i'd just like to have the peace on mind that the head isnt going anywhere!

 

I went with bolts cause I was in your shoes.

I couldn't decide on what was better and didn't really find anything to win me over one or the other so I talked to a friend and he told me to go with bolts. 2 years later they are still on the truck and I have never had a problem with them.

I would much rather spend my money on a quality product that I know is just as good as OEM if not better than something that I don't know anything about

I went with Clevite bearings too and I couldn't be happier!

I have another 22RE-T in my garage that I am just starting to tear apart and I will soon be spending my money to get the same parts I got for my 22RE

The extra money for a good product just gives me peace of mind.

 

Im getting annoying clicking/tapping sound from dash on drivers side.At first I thought it was motor but only does it at 40MPH to 75MPH and when I slow down to stop the noise does not slow down relative to my decreasing speed, and then is quiet at a dead stop.Im hoping its speedo cable.1990 SR5 V6 4Runner 5SPD 4WD.

 

Probably a speedo cable. Lube it with chain lube and only chain lube. Next time, please post in a thread on speedos. Quick question, why is youre handle Matt22RE904Runner when you have a V6?

 

still no more leaks?

 

random much?





so far so good!

I've been keeping a close eye on the coolant level, and I haven't been loosing any more!

the leak at the rear that I had ORIGONALLY though to be the rear main but I have now found out was the trans input seal has seemed to have slowed down too, but I'm still going to get in there and replace the seal some time or another, before it leaks onto and ruins my new clutch

 

that is great news..

 

Shoot, I wish I could figure out my problem...

 

glade to hear u fixed ur problem for the most part, i finally found a good machine shop to replace my broken valve guide and their relapeing/checking all the other valves and cleaning the head up for $90 bucks, i was expecting much more

 

let us know how your input shaft seal goes for you bleeder.

right after i put my new mc clutch in i developed what i thought was rear main leak, wasnt, turned out to be the input shaft seal and gasket to the retaining cover. even after replacing them though, i still get the oil leaking thiking my input shaft is worn or needing to be replaced.

 

My retarded mistake before i bought vehicle.I know its a V6 unfortunately i cant change my handle now.Your right about speedo cable,thanks.

 

And why do i need to post on speedo cable thread? Is that some sort of indication that your brain cant switch gears? Or do you think Im 12? Or is it a rule about threads in general? Just asking.

 

It's just odd to jump on someone else's thread about a head gasket leak and post your problem with a clicking sound. If you had a head gasket leak it would be fine to post that here I think. I've made my share of mistakes on Yotatech too. Even got banned for a week once. The good thing is, you still got info to help with your problem.

 

if there were strict rules about random posting, the "oil cap removed" thread would have been shut down a LONG time ago, lmao

but yeah that was kinda outta no where, lol. every member on the forums has access to the "New Thread" button

 

I know this is an old thread, and I don't want to resurrect it, but I have a question for guys who have had this leak issue before.

Does the leak only occur while its running, or does it leak when its cold as well?

Reason I ask, I just rebuilt my engine, got everything back together. In the process of filling it with water (water first to test), I started getting water dripping down the side of the block.

When I checked, it seemed to be almost the exact same place. I might just try re-torquing the heads, thinking that picking the entire engine / trans / T-Case up by the head may have stretched the bolts / gasket slightly, but I wanted to find out if you guys had similar issues.

Thanks.

 

I used a "turbo" head gasket from Japanengines on my truck. It leaked a little at first, I retorqued the head bolts, and let it run (idled for about 2 hours) NO more leaks.

 

hey bleeder sorry to here about your headgasket problem here in MAINE we usually use FELPRO gaskets.i have never had a problem with FELPRO.i wouldnt try another ROCK gasket.

 

I've had no more problems after the retorque

BUT, if it does start to leak again, I'm getting a new gasket directly from Toyota
