@RaefordRedneck they usually fall into place where they're supposed to be...but if you have trouble you can look at a repair manual's vacuum line diagram or try tagging them with diff. color tape / paint / whiteout or something
did you ever have any issues with the rings seating after adding those parts? I am going to replace my head but I am not sure if the added pressures will cause me to blow smoke.
@BigManlyMan4 nope...runs like a champ. my bottom end was still in pretty good shape though. It will be replaced soon as well...I want to add boost to the truck and will need forged bottom end and lower compression.
@dixiemudtoy Okay. Because my head is noisey, but engnbldr recommends that I do the pistons when doing the head. Because of more stress on the rings could blw them. It makes sense. But if I do a copression test and am getting 170 PSI I think ill just do the head. I am only doing it because of a blown head gasket, and I figured I might as well do the head. I do have 80K less mileage than you and my truck has only seen highway use. Was that the stock bottom end and pistons on yours? Or was rebuilt
shiiiiitt.......I have to change a head gasket in my little Toyota - oil in the antifreeze - oil is clean though - it definitely doesn't look pleasant :( I just changed the clutch a week ago and that sucked lol
Looks just like my Yota... minus the rust. You may want to check into the high flow oil pump from LCE. Are you running the dual row chain upgrade, the metal backed single row, or just a heavy duty OEM? Also, since you have yours apart and I haven't, could you tell me if the oil pump pickup is attached to the pump in any manner? I have conflicting data concerning the pickup tube's attachment. I have 3 different part breakdowns, and none are clear where the tube attaches.
@crombieposterboy I assume you are referring to the exhaust manifold studs from earlier; actually (to my amazement) none of them broke, however i believe one is stripped / cross-threaded and two of the three heat shield studs broke. I'm debating on a tri-y header if I can find a good deal on one...
@crombieposterboy The exhaust manifold was removed, what you see is the downpipe splitter. I am not doing the bottom end for a few reasons; mainly the pistons do not knock or clatter, blow, smoke or use any oil whatsoever, so there is not an immediate need for this to be done at this time. Secondly I cannot afford (financially or timely) to have the entire bottom end built the way i want it right now (completely forged / balanced / blueprinted and built for boost). It will happen soon.
Man im bout to replace the heads on mine but i was wondering how you remembered where all the vacuum lines ran to?
i dont wanna tear it all apart then not remember where they went

Did you remount your fuel filter in a different location? Its BS where Toyota put it under the intake.
