I have a 96 3.4 tacoma, the other day i was out messing around in the snow and all of a sudden there was a terrible klunk and knocking noise coming from my engine.. I pulled over and took a look and there was oil blown all over my passangers side wheel.. Well, here are my problems that i have now..:pat:

I am looking to buy a used motor but have called many many people and just dont know what one to go with.. I have over 10 of them but most are out of state and have over 90k in millage.. Although they offer warrenty i just dont know if i want to go down that road dealing with shipping it back if theres a problem.. I guess i am asking if anyone knows anyone that is dependable that sells used motors, i live in portland oregon..

Also, i am going to be doing this engine swap with some of my buddies in a week or so.. When installing this motor, what things should i be changing out when installing this used motor in my truck? I have bought a new clutch,water pump, belts, new timing belt.. What else? Also does anyone out there have a PDF of the engine service manual..When buying this new motor they state that a compression test as been done but, what is a good compression for an engine? Thanks alot for all of your help.. thanks alot

You can call Troy @ CalMini 909 622 1381, and inquire about a good take out.

 

So what happened to the engine to cause the oil to shoot out all over the passenger side tire??? And don't forget new engine mounts!
