If it's in good condition, I'll reuse it. I've done 2 OCs on my 26 and have not replace it yet. I once had a Tercel many years ago that I literally never changed the entire 8 years of ownership. Probably reused the one on our Sienna for at least 4 or 5 years. As long as its not deformed it's...

Also, that video is a hodgepodge of clips from several powertrain plants and not really in any kind of chronological order in terms of production. It's also a few years old. But it does give some insight, if a bit disjointed.

Every engine that Toyota produces undergoes what's called "cold testing". The engine is mechanically rotated for 5 seconds to build oil pressure then throttled up to 4000 rpm for 60 seconds. Then it is idled down and goes through intake/exhaust VVT functions as well has testing the variable...

Why the duplicate thread?

Absolutely not. My days of tinkering and heavy modding are long gone. My only desire these days is a comfortable, reliable, low maintenance experience.

Amen to that. My 3rd gen was a dog compared to my 4th gen and that's even with a supposedly "detuned" engine that's in my SR

I think you'll see the moly levels go down with time. There are fairly decent amounts used during the assembly of the engine. As for 0w20? In theory it should provide adequate protection as long as it doesn't drop out of grade, either through fuel dilution or shear, though 0w20 is a very shear...

While I'll agree with you, there are certain brands/types/models that seem to be more stereotypical of the video's subject matter. I'm not hating on the 4Runner or Tacoma one bit. I've owned several and love them. But there is certainly a disproportionate number of our vehicles that those not...

I would say 50% of extended cabs are 2wd. But most of the SRs I've seen have been double cab short bed 4x4s. But I get what you're saying.

I wouldn't necessarily call it unique. All SRs have leaf springs regardless of cab configuration and all extended cabs have leaf springs regardless of trim.

If we're being honest, we could substitute "Tacoma" in place of 4Runner. :cwl:

Sorry, "misallocation of funds".

Word on the street (according to the ladies) is your knob is just fine. Waste of money to replace it. Most aftermarket ones are ugly anyway.

You could also find a stock SR exhaust for cheap.

Congrats. Good looking rig. An available manual gearbox is the only thing that keeps my rig from being perfect for my needs

100%, every time....except for the Fram Ultras, which came in a sealed box. But they still got an inspection before installation.
