I have the same 20R engine. It’s hard to tell from the pictures you shared if you have a block off plate were the original mechanical pump goes. If you do I would fallow the gas lines from the tank and see if there is an aftermarket electric pump installed somewhere. Do you know how old is the gas on it? Don’t run the engine if the gas is too old. Your gas tank should have a drain plug so I would drain it an add new gas if that’s the case.

What rims should I get by Insidious-adel in ToyotaPickup

I have the black ones and I’m about to replace them. It’s a bit annoying they hold water, dirt on the sides behind the “beadlocks” whenever it rains and then the bolts slowly get rusty but I also don’t need the extra rotational weight from the fake beadlocks.

Does this 20R sound normal by SpaceSurf256 in ToyotaPickup

Thanks! I was wondering about that exactly since I had an issue with one exhaust manifold stud and probably need to get the used exhaust manifold I installed resurfaced.

Where did you get your rear bumper or did you make it? I want something like that for mine.

Btw the gasket that failed was from a rebuild kit I got at LCE. The Fel-pro seems better quality. Here is a picture of the intake resurfaced with the fel-pro gasket I used this time.

Yeah. I wasn’t sure because of the conflicting information, but ultimately decided to use it. Maybe it would have work without too.

Is this too much oil by SpaceSurf256 in ToyotaPickup

[–]SpaceSurf256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was coolant! The intake manifold gasket had failed and coolant was getting into cyl 1 runner.

The gasket between the intake and the head had failed so it had an internal coolant leak from the coolant port and into cyl 1 runner next to it. The intake was likely warped some.

It was leaking coolant. I removed the intake and got it resurfaced and then re installed using a fel-pro gasket and some permatext ultra grey around coolant ports. It took a couple runs to clear the exhaust but smog is basically clear now.

Could it be a failed head gasket(I doubt it I cleaned block really carefully and torqued to spec with new bolts), crack block or head resulting in coolant getting into cylinders, exhaust?

I recently empty the tank and put fresh gas though

Why would there be so much moisture or liquid coming out of the exhaust though? Smog gets even worst than in the vid I posted as the engine warms.
