I just bought A 93 Runner 3.0 v6 with a blown HG, but only paid 200 for it. I have done three HG before on the 22re x2 and once on the 22r, pretty much the same minus EFI. I have the general idea, but, was wondering if anyone has some good tips/tricks, things to watch out for and where to really start. I'm assuming with the radiator, fan, fan shroud air cleaner/air intake to make some room. Thanks

Good Luck on your rigs

Check out my 91 at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/659565

Might want to replace the timing belt and water pump while your in there.

Take lots of pics.

 

I bought a master gasket rebuild set was planning on replacing pretty much everything I can get my hands on during this job. To bad its not a 4banger those heads are cake to work on, so much room.

 

Check out the FSM(http://www.ncttora.com/fsm/), has all the info you need. Also search this site, several threads on this.

 

You should start by buying a 3.4L.




No, seriously. The increase in fuel economy and the increased security will pay for itself.

 

x2 on this. I've done it and dont regret it one bit.
