@@danielfaulk6288 I just matched them with some from several kits I had.

Thank you! I replaced the plastic coolant tube with an upgraded metal one. When you get the head off, check the block with a very good straight edge and light or feeler gauges to see if it warped. The block can warp also if it got hot enough. Have the head machined.

@@speedfetish9995 Thank you. My new 2014 Tacoma has been well maintained but does have 330,000 miles on it. It’s free so if I can put a new head gasket on it and run it to 400,000 or more that’s a win for me. I’ve thought about trying Blue Devil or Steel Seal head gasket sealer but I think spending 2-3 days to put a new head gasket on is a better solution.

Only if you blow the head gasket. Use a carbon tester for the coolant or a leak down to be sure.

Is yours a 4x4?

I lubed up the seal and was very careful.

You can check it by turning it over by hand.

No

If the was 4x4 it's impossible to do it without taking the Engine out ,I am right?

On my 3rz 4x4 I had to remove the front diff to do this job. There were two bolts that needed to come out for the timing cover. Can someone confirm this on the 2tr?

That’s the recommended procedure, but you can do it without pulling it if you are careful.

It’s been a while, but probably around 18hrs.

Yes

The previous owner didn’t notice the water pump leaking and ran it low on coolant. It overheated and warped the head.

Great comment about to head into one of these jobs, this video and folks like you adding your thoughts about the process in great detail, are definitely going to help so thank you.

@@8R4V3RY You’ll do fine. I on the other hand need to stop procrastinating and replace my exhaust and rebuild or replace my engine. Trying to save my pennies for a solid axle swap. And hopefully URD turbo. 🔧

@@the_gold_canopy Sounds like fun. This will be my first time with messing with taco internals so I am just getting myself prepared. Also just recently went stage 2 on my mk6 gti now its got me thinking about getting a bigger turbo lol. Anyway cheers I hope things look your way.

I have a high mileage tacoma (290k) that needs a head gasket. There aren't any machine shops in my area that will do my head and I'm not sure what to do. Unless there is a shop I just can't find in my searches, I'd have to drive many hours to find one that will do it. I'm tempted to just save up for a new motor this summer. The truck is very clean for an 07, no rust on the frame anywhere and the only rust on the body is where the paint is bubbling up at the bottom of the tailgate, and I think that alone justifies a new motor over a new truck. Besides the head gasket, everything else is mechanically sound as well. I don't drive the truck very much when there is no snow so I'm not in a particular hurry, but it would be nice to have it when the back roads are wet. How important is it to have the head decked? I want to just do the head gasket but not if it's going to leave me stranded this winter. I'd rather spend the $4,000 on a brand new motor than be stranded in winter weather even one time, which seems to be about the price of them. And that's brand new, not even a remanufactured.

@@mikecurry6847 I mean, you can do it without having the head machined, but it’s a gamble. As far as not having a shop around, there are plenty of shops that you can send the head out to, I’ve done it plenty of times, and it’s not that expensive. As far as finding a brand new factory Toyota 2TR-FE engine for $4000 with zero hours/miles, please, do tell. I’ll buy one right now.

@Jimmy Jones & the Kool-Aide Crew 220k and has been babied and I am aggressive with any Preventive maintenance . Truck has been flawless until now with the only repairs beside normal wear items being a set of struts, a leaky coolant bypass tube, blower motor resistor pack and valve cover gasket. Truck started misfiring on #4, I replaced that coil and new plugs, still misfiring on startup and then I noticed the coolant overflow reservoir was bubbling with exhaust gas. I recently moved and did many load with a small 10' trailer. I suspect that I worked her a little too hard.

@Jimmy Jones & the Kool-Aide Crew On the 2nd Gen Tacomas, the Coolant bypass tube runs from the thermostat housing and *behind* the intake manifold. I had a coolant leak (a steady drip-drip-drip) that I thought was the thermostat housing or gasket - after unsuccessfully replacing that about twice, I replace that bypass tube and put a new gasket on. It's a pain because like I said, it is behind the intake manifold so you won't be able to see the leak at any angle unless the intake is removed. I think that is a common issue on this engine.

The decals are separate, no need to cut. Glue will not come out if you are pressing hard.

Thank you! Pretty sure it was the orange set.

@@speedfetish9995 Thanks!

No, sorry. I purchased them from Phoenix graphics

Self adjusting lash.

No they’re under the cams. To take the cams off you have to have the chain off.

xbpbat21x thank you! It’s up for sale if you are interested.

@@speedfetish9995 where are you located?

xbpbat21x Conroe TX

Michael Ingram I believe it took me around 17-18hrs. I had to stop because Toyota didn’t get me the right parts, and then left out some parts.

@@speedfetish9995 can you remember what parts you got? Doing this job now. Any crazy tools needed?

@@ACMxxxx2 Nothing special on the tools. Don’t remember on the parts, but I do remember getting the upgraded steel water pipe. Also, Toyota didn’t have a part number for some of the print inside the timing chain cover. I had to find some and match them.

Dakota Kaboom previous owner had a small leak from the water pump and did not notice it. It ran low on coolant and overheated.

Speed Fetish what did you use to clean the cylinder wall and piston tops?

Dakota Kaboom I used a Flex-hone and 3M scotchbrite on the pistons.

Shadi Bader you can do either manifold. I did the exhaust manifold first. Then I made sure the coolant pipe for the water pump went on (upgrade to the steel if you have the plastic one), then install the intake manifold.

Shadi Bader I don’t have the part number, in fact, the Toyota dealer could not find the correct oring as it was not listed on their system. I ended up matching the old oring with another I had in a universal oring kit.

Speed Fetish oh i see, thanks

Speed Fetish can i bother you with one question, i cant find the 8 exhaust manifold nuts that go back in. Do you by any chance know the part numbers for those?

Shadi Bader 90178-A0024, I believe that is it.

Speed Fetish thanks. Its shows it as a compressor nut and not compatible with tacoma. I will try it and see what happens

Sandra Benitez This truck only had 120k on it so I didn’t replace the chain and tensioner. If it was higher mileage I would have done it since it’s a big job to get to it.

Yep, just got a 2007 tacoma, first thing I did was replace the plastic bypass pipe with a steel one.

@@dillonh321 where do you order the steel pipe
