OMG reminds me of one of the reasons I got rid of that shovel nose Phord with the 5.4 Triton in it. Way too complicated and complex for this wrench!Well this trucks getting some serious miles put on it this week. I foolishly told my buddy I’d help him reseal the front of his 180k miles 2016 4runner. WOW this is a serious PITA! Two days later and we just barely got the font cover sealed and bolted up. Still have to installed the other 10hours worth of garbage, crazy that you have to remove the AC compressor to remove the belt tensioner. I’m thinking we should have bombed those **** a few more times back in WWII.
Anyway he’s borrowing the GMC since he never learned stick and it’s my only auto. He lives an hour from me and work two hours further away! So easily going to put 200 + miles a day on the poor thing. Hopefully we can get his crap put back together tomorrow and I can get my baby back.
BTW Toyota quoted $8.4k to do this job, it’s a PITa but not worth that much!
the whole ford modular engine family is just plain bad finishing up on a v10 box truck right now some dumba$$ merged going on to the highway in 1st gear over reved it destroyed 4 pistons 4 rods and put hole in the block on each side and some that junky triton was able to run on the 6 remaining cylindersOMG reminds me of one of the reasons I got rid of that shovel nose Phord with the 5.4 Triton in it.

oh when I saw HWB talking about fords I thought you were working on oneit’s the dual VVTI 4.0 that comes in all the 5th gen 4Runners. Good motor, plenty of power, decent MPG, and reliable, but I guess they leak and you have to be a maniac to want to seal it yourself.
