First post into the build of my 89 Toyota Pickup 4x4. Picked it up for 1500 a few years back. The 3.slow that was in it burned the exhaust valve in the no. 5 cylinder. I didn't see it justifiable to rebuild the 3.0.

I ended up picking up a 3.4 for super cheap with all the accessories and wiring harness. The reason I got that so cheap is there was low compression on every cylinder in the driver side bank.

The motor sat for two years in an unheated garage and collected some moisture in the cylinders causing the rings to seize.

I plan on re-ringing the motor or a complete rebuild.

I also plan on doing a build thread on this truck, starting with the 3.4 rebuild, swap, painting the frame and body, interior work, then finally lifting the truck.

Before i get started, is there any special tips on rebuilding these 3.4 motors? I know the head bolts need to be replaced when they are removed but what about the main bolts?
