Thanks for doing this video. I am about to swap engines on a pair of 94 V6 4x4's . I now have a much better idea of exactly what would be involved, and more confident that I can tackle it.
Much appreciated!
Thank you! Good luck!
Great video man. Did my whole removal on my 91 4runner 4x4 with your instructions. Keep making good work and it'll pay off.
Thank you so much! Im really trying!
I Love/Hate all things 3ZVE. I found you by developing a freeze plug coolant leak. Of course, it's the lower one on the rear of the block 2" from the firewall. Agh! Pulling the engine to replace a f'riging freeze plug. Agh! Thank you. Great help.
Great video it will make my swap to a 3.4 a lot easier thanks.
Thank you! I hope it goes well!
Thanks for this, have two 2nd gens and the 2wd one has a knocking motor so just bought a replacement 3.0l and getting ready to do my first swap ever
No problem, im glad it helped!
HI! I have a 1997 4runner that I am looking to swap an engine into at some point. Probably just another rebuilt 5vz with less miles. I really appreciate the video and will probably be watching it several more times before my other half and I begin work. I would love to see more videos from you! I understand mine is a gen 3, but your information is still useful. Thanks again for the upload.
Thank you! Theres not much difference in a gen 3 compared to a gen 2, so it wont be too hard for you! Good luck and have fun!
Your engine setup looks slightly different, but yes. Overall it should be about the same. Thanks again!
Thank you! We are doing a diesel swap and taking the 3vze out is Tight! Glad you made this video. I was trying to pull it without the tranny and it just wasn’t working!
You can do it without taking out the tranny but taking it out all at once is easier for me!
restoring a gen 2 ...good vids brother .. wanted to see what i was getting myself into on swapping out for a rebuild
B Cage thanks! Idk about doing a full rebuild but if you can get a motor for cheap, Id say a straight swap would be the best choice. Just make sure to replace the HGs before the motor goes in
NightWrencher hg 's ?
Headgaskets. Definately a must if the motor is already out.
This was extremely helpful - much appreciated!
Thank you very much! Its an old video but I'm glad it helped!
@@NightWrencher It may be old, but still relevant!
You tired me out just watching you for 10 minutes ! lol
Great Video.
LIKED/SUBSCRIBED !
Thank you very much!
Keep up the hustle brutha!!
Thank you very much!
Thats exactly what I wanted . Pulling 3vz-e out of 90 2wd with transmission attached. Already pulled heads. Dont want to do all that crap again.
Spent an hour ready BS till I came to this- Thank you.
Youre welcome! I'm glad I was able to help!
🔥 bout to do this swap big ups bro
Love your videos
I appreciate it bud 👍
Great info.
Here's a suggestion to improve video quality: Lower the audio for the music so we can listen to your comments better. Also, speak a bit slower or do longer pauses between them so we can follow. I'm doing this very soon and I'll definitely watch this video many times.
Thank you! On my newer videos I stopped playing music all together
Is it worth it to do a HG job on the 3vze
I live in Hawaii have my 1995 3.0 Manuel 5spd that kept blowing HGs. No way I will let anyone touch my truck here!!! Last place SCREWED the job and robbed me in countless ways. 1,000$ to mill the heads alone and HG blew again in 3k mi. 1,300$ in back registration rt now. She ben sitting for 4yrs being rope towed from place to place because state keeps trying to steal her which they already did in 2017 cost me 500$!!! I wanted to do a 3.4 swap but realize the 3.0 is way easier and ( affordable). Not sure what to put in. A crate engine, a rebuilt, or a junk yard dog.... I have tools just mainly need a hoist and
$$$$$!!!! Seriously need some sound advice. Mahalo.
Quick question on the 4 wheel drive that fits the 92 Toyota pickup 4x4 with 3vze, it's a 30/40 LE. My wiring harness was totally messed when I pulled engine and transmission. The very rear wire was a single, coming out the driver side. The next only had one. The third set had three going to the wiring harness. Is this correct? Because I bought a used transmission with low miles and the far back and middle has two each. Can I get away with hooking only one wire at each port or would I need to change sensors that only have the one wire connection? Any help extremely appreciated, thanks.!
I went through a similar problem because these truck changed the wiring a lot. My advice is use the harness that matches your oem harness and install the matching parts that fit the harness. Dont go mixing and matching cuz it wont work
@@NightWrencher thank you for getting back so quick, ill tear the old one apart tomorrow after work.
Would like to see a breakdown of the 3vze engine and rebuild
Nice vid. I'm fixing to pull my 3.0 out but I would like to leave my manual trans in the truck. Is the only thing that I need to worry about is getting to the top few bolts that bolt on the transmission? U said you preferred pulling them both but is the reason why is because your talking about an automatic trans?
Its just cuz its faster for me that way I dont have to pull the 2 bellhousing supports off the engine and trans and also dont have to pull the bellhousing bolts or torque converter bolts. If you wanna leave the trans in the truck, losen the engine mounts, unbolt the trans mount from the frame and lower the trans slowly, it should lower down enough for you to reach the top bolts with a long extension. Because with the colant sensors at the back of the engine because you can break them if you go too far. I like to remove them completely just in case along with the upper intake manifold
@@NightWrencher Thank you sir. I will remember to remove those sensors first. I already went ahead and remove the plenum so I will remove the upper intake and the sensors. Thanks for the advice cause I probably wouldn't have removed the sensors.
I have a 3.4 I want to put it in my sons 91 pickup that has a 2.4 standard 5 speed will it bolt to the transmission in the truck?
I dont think it will. The 2 bell housings are different. You could locate an r150 for the v6 that should bolt up
Where you located? i'm in AZ and wanted to swap my 3.0 with 3.4. would it be possible that you can help?
Im in southern california, unfortunately my full time job leaves me with very little offtime so that would be impossible for me. You could send me questions and I can do my best to answer the as best as I can. Cheers!
I need to pull the heads off of my 95 4 Runner . How do you get the cross over pipe loose, i can get the drivers side, and 2 nuts on the passenger side but the top nut closest to the head there's no room to turn it. Any help would be great. Thanks
The best way I've been able to do it, has been to remove both heads together without removing the crossover. Its a little heavy but it saves you a ton of work. Unbolt the 3 bolts that hold the exhaust down pipe to the manifold and you're good to go. Having a buddy helps. Best of luck!
Thanks for getting back so quick. I'll give that a try.
Thank you Nightwrencher. You make this look so easy...
I will be performing this feat for my first engine removal and rebuild. Are there any difficulties a new rook like myself needs to be aware when reinstalling the rebuilt engine?Were there any pit falls to avoid like assembly order or anything that might make it less difficult?
This will take me a while to do probably a couple months to complete the rebuild. I am worried I will miss an reassembly order. Do you have any thoughts on how you organize the parts? I am going to use a cardboard layout for bolts so I can draw items with bolt patterns so I can remember in 2 months. :D
The heads are slightly warped but the engine is still running. It sounds like you recommend pulling engine and transmition at same time.
Is there a rebuild list you perform when doing this. And if possible what other items would you replace with the engine out. Maybe power steering and or upgrade sway bars bushing and engine mounts?
You mentioned seals?
Thank you for your time. I appreciate it for sure.
Thank you for your kind words! Removal is pretty straight forward. The PS pump can stay hooked up, just unbolt it from the engine. Theres no easy way to take off the AC compressor, so just remove the two lines the 1 wire plug and leave the compressor bolted on. I find it easier to remove together because I dont like to remove the 2 engine block supports and dust cover to get to the 4 14mm TC bolts. Also the starter requires a 2 foot long extension plus a wobble 14mm. As for organizaton, I honestly just put the hardparts together in a corner and all the bolts in a bucket. Ive pretty much memorized where each bolt goes and if you go slow while disassembly you can see exactly what kind of bolts need to go where and why. I hope this helps you!
One last note to finish your questions. Front main, rear main, oil pan silicone(sandwhiched windage tray, silicone both sides), cam seals, valve cover gaskets, water pump, timing belt with pulleys, knock sensor + wiring, spark plugs, wires and for the trans, front pump seal, tail shaft seal, trans pan gasket and filter.
Thank you very much. You are an inspiration to me. I am going to start in the next couple weeks.
another question since you have done this a few times. When selecting a rebuild kit do you opt for just OEM replacement complete kit, i think they run around $260 USD?
@@robg6202 most of the parts that you will need will come in that kit including most of the seals that I mentioned. there are a couple things that may be missing such as the coolant bypass that sits in the Valley of the block which you can get either a Toyota or fabricate yourself. As long as you're not getting inside the internal such as rings and bearings everything else should be straightforward. Good luck!
sweet I loved your article comparing block efficiencies, made me realize to just keep it simple.
I have a 95 3.0 4Runner with blown headgasket should I rebuild it or change motor?
To have someone do the headgaskets will cost $800-$1200. To have someone install another 3vze will run closer to 2k. If it didnt burn oil before and compression was good, I would just have the headgaskets replaced
Fixing to do this to my 94 4runner. Looks like you in Cali, I was gonna ask if you could help me. I'm in Texas though.
Thats a long ways away! Lol
Interesting. Im currently pulling a seized 3.4. I was thinking i may separate in vehicle. With a floor jack supporting the trans. Hopefully i wont fuk up the trans pump 🤞
Pulling seized engines are the worst. Best of luck to you!
Just do what you do!
So, we take intake off to save the sensors and wire harness from being destroyed when drive-train tilts ?
Basically thats exactly I do it like that. Ive broken too many sensors by tilting the engine back
@@NightWrencher Remove drive-train is probably same time as drop trans and front diff on IFS. Which is what has to be done for rear main seal and oil pan gasket.
At that point, might as well rebuild entire engine for another 4-6 hrs.
You can do that, but if you drop the trans and pull the engine out, you dont have to touch the IFS
Do I have to undo and drop front diff, if i want to pull the whole drivetrain ?
If you want to pull the engine and transmission together, you don't need to remove any of your front suspension including your axle. You're just going to need to put a jack on the transmission side so it rolls forward
My 3.0 is shot. 😢 it needs a new engine. Thanks for the vid.
Big oof. Im sorry for your lose. What are you going to do now?
NightWrencher
Im going to try and install a new engine. The shop was asking $6,000. So no deal. Im going to try and do it myself with the help of some friends. This all happened today. Thanks for hearing me out. This is my first vehicle. I always wanted a Toyota pickup. So im not giving up on it. I just bought it like 4 months ago too.
@@rafaelthecrusader7968 Theyre great vehicles and hold their value really well. The cheapest thing you can do is have the heads redone on your current engine and just buy a new block at the junkyard. If youve got the know how, putting it back together should be a breeze.
I need to remove my engine but keep the auto transmission in any tips on what exact plugs to remove
TechReveiwerNZ if you put a jack under the tranny and undo the 4 cross member bolts(18mm) you can lower the jack slowley until it gives you enough room to remove the o2 sensor, reverse switch, PNS switch and 4x4 switch plugs. There may be 1 more plug or so. Afterward use a long extension to take the top of the tranny bolts off. Then lift the trans back up and put the 4 bolts back on. You should be careful not to lower the trans too much because you can damage some hoses or coolant sensors at the back of the block. Also make sure the engine mounts are still bolted to the body to prevent the engine from falling into you. Hope this helps.
NightWrencher is this easier way to remove wiring harness but still have it plugged into the ecu?
TechReveiwerNZ unfortunately there is no easier way to seperate the harness from the engine and trans. If the trans is going to be left in, you can get by, by removing the harness off the engine itself and leave the rest in the bay
NightWrencher so unplug it from the ecu and feed it through the hole ?
TechReveiwerNZ you can remove the upper manifold and disconnect all the plugs. And flip the harness over the passenger fender. You can leave the trans part of the harness alone along with the firewall. Just make sure to take off the starter and alternator and remove the harness all the way to the maf.
that Was 4:53 heh Car Plastic Ramps, watch out, I go fast too and Take Chance lol - Hey the four 22r Cylinder I got now with 4 Speed transmission is So.....simple.....it Makes ya Wonder about the 3vze and all it's Sensors and Wires and parts and and and and and and......heh overall It's One Big glorified Vacuum Pump with More technical Engine Managment, though once Ya know it...it's Simple Enough....
Tommy Tommy Hey man, good to see your post. I used to have a 22re 5speed truck that I sold a few years ago. that thing was a blast and super simple like you said. for me its just cheaper to fix the 3vze in the 4runner, than to do a swap, BUT, I am planning something fun with the 3vze in my pickup ;)
So I've removed most of this but with my tools it takes forever could I just remove this motor without disconnecting everything I just want to take the motor out
The problem is if you dont unhook the whole harness, you have to pull it out from the cab. So you got 2 options, leave all the sensors and harness in place and remove the upper intake to disconnect the fuel injectors and fuel rail. Or option 2 is pull off all sensor connections, pull harness from inside of cab where the ecu is, and pull it out complete which is what I did cuz i sold my old engine complete
I got most of it disconnected the drive shaft won't come off and most of the bolts are rusted I have the two bolts on the top of the motor holding it in and motor mounts this is not thing like taking out a 350 block
Honestly your the only person that might help me out no one is willing to help me pull this motor out
Even I struggled with it the first couple of times I had to remove and install that engine. The best thing I can say is if you're taking apart a four-wheel drive and the rear nuts are stuck, you're probably going to have to take a grinder or a Dremel and cut the nuts off so you can remove the drive shaft or, separate the engine from the transmission, which is a big pain, disconnect the harness that goes to the transmission, and pull the engine out separately. Then drop the transmission onto the floor disconnect the drive shaft at the differentials and pull the whole thing out together and try to work the nuts loose outside
Ill try that when i got the time. Thanks 👍😁
dang. good. but the music overflowed the voice.
Thank you so much! I know, in future videos I toned the music way down!
Wish you could turn music down so i can hear your voice better
All my newer videos dont have any music 👍
I need help installing so bad
3.4 swap
How about ls swap? :)
Music annoying
Thank you for your critizism! Ill keep that in mind for future videos!
