just did a engine swap on my 4wd toyota and on the way home it stared over heating and the heater core started leaking i by passed it and put a new thermostat in still over heating any ideas what to do know?????


appreciate any info need to get back on the road asap

thanks...

 

Put new head gasket(s) in it

 

lol. 1st thing everyones guna say.....Gaskets... Im just finishing mine up..

Is it leaking fluid at all?

 

I got an idea. Do another engine swap and put in the 3.4. 3.0's are notorious for having overheating issues. I can't really guide you in the right direction because i've never had a 3vz. Why'd you go with the 3.0 anyway? Sorry if it sounds like i'm being a prick...didn't mean any offense.

 

yea i didnt find out about the crappiness of the 3.0 til after i got my truck. The OP probably did the same...
