I’ve taken it To the dunes a couple times and it was pretty sweet! Went anywhere and threw a massive roost, haha

Update








So since the last post I’ve got my engine all back together and ready to go back into the truck.
The head was warped and there was pretty bad corrosion on the block so all together around .014” was removed from the head and block.
I ordered an oem gte headgasket, clevite rod and main bearings, ARP headstuds, and new vvti oil pump.
I also got used 2jzgte pistons and rods along with new piston rings.
Super excited to get it running again!
Here’s some pics of the progres.
