The 3.0 in the 4x4 runner was dead and not running at all when I bought the truck. The guy I bought it from tried to start working on it and it was partially disassembled. He was in over his head and quit. After I bought it I pulled the 3.0 and had a machine shop do a complete remanufacture overhaul on it.

Just as I got the 4x4 runner running my 2wd runner blew the head gasket. I replaced that head gasket just recently.

The rebuilt 3.0 is now on the shelf waiting in case the tired motor in the 2wd runner dies.
