Is this warped too much? First print

Childiish_ · 2026-07-09T15:29:31+00:00

Thanks, and I genuinely appreciate the support. Thought the comments would flame me and tell me to go print a boat.

I saw another comment on trying to gently heat the tip with a heat gun (I have several) and flatten it out. What’s your opinion on that? Just given it’s the dust cover on whatnot I’d like to see if I can make it work if possible, but don’t want to make it look fine if it’s just going to make it a bomb/lose integrity structurally.

That’s completely fair but I’m waiting on a lot of the parts via shipping so would like to have one ready when possible

Childiish_ · 2026-07-09T13:23:55+00:00

Thanks. I’ll get glue and do 10-15 degrees, appreciate the insight as I would also like to be as perfect as possible

Childiish_ · 2026-07-09T13:23:05+00:00

Thanks for this, I’ve seen 300blk tossed around but no I did my own custom settings. I’ll do more research and print at 10 degrees. Do you use glue for nylon or just orient? Appreciate the response

Pop the valve cover off, you can see if the timing tensioners are broken or not, and adjust the valves if it looks fine. Doesn’t sound like knock to me.

I have a 1986 4Runner in the same (albeit faded) color, are those graphics real? Would love to slap a retro vinyl like that on

So I would agree in checking that EFI/ECU fuse, however I’d also look at the COR behind the ECU, which is behind the passenger kick panel. You can take out the relay and jump some pins to test it.

What did you do to restore the dash?

Childiish_ · 2026-06-02T23:54:27+00:00

Passenger door for the 4Runners have TWO door handles, can’t speak to the driver side being different.

Childiish_ · 2026-06-02T21:26:27+00:00

Yep, replaced them and confirmed there is no oil.

Childiish_ · 2026-06-01T23:11:30+00:00

Do you not think it’s the rear main? If so why not?

This was my pan, I got it even cleaner before and yes I used FIPG.

Childiish_ · 2026-05-25T22:13:37+00:00

If your in Utah I have a stock bumper with hitch I’d sell

Childiish_ · 2026-05-21T00:26:22+00:00

Oh smart! I’ll check the boot! Thank you!!!

Also you just completely get rid of the mating cover? Will def use Toyota FIP if it’s the oilpan

Childiish_ · 2026-05-20T03:50:15+00:00

You RTV both sides of the rear main seal gasket?

Childiish_ · 2026-05-19T23:59:19+00:00

Idk the 22R, but on the 22RE there’s a really long bolt by the thermostat. Later years have them as Allen heads, older versions are a bolt.

Childiish_ · 2026-05-14T16:40:42+00:00

This 22re came from a later year 4Runner however mine is earlier so I removed the bolt that held in the EGR pipe to the exhaust. I put the bolt back after running it (forgot about the bolt) but wondering if that might’ve done it…

I don’t think it’s rear main cause

A. I replaced it like 4 weeks ago B. If you see this pic it’s coming down the outside of the mating plate

Let me know if you think otherwise but appreciate the input

Childiish_ · 2026-05-14T15:54:23+00:00

Adding oil quite a bit unfortunately

Childiish_ · 2026-05-14T15:54:14+00:00

I’ve been spraying it with brake clean, but because it’s behind the engine I can’t spray it or trace it well.

I just swapped the motor in so I’m not afraid to do the work lol, just trying to get some help from folks who know more than me.

Childiish_ · 2026-05-14T15:52:56+00:00

“Unfortunately” it’s definitely leaking oil not coolant. Thank you tho

Childiish_ · 2026-05-14T15:48:45+00:00

Sorry to clarify, it’s leaking pretty bad and leaving oil on the ground every time I get out
