What kind of engine is in Toyota 4Runner?
The fact that Toyota used these engines in other platforms for many years proves that they’re dependable. The 1GR V6 was used in the 4runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, and Tundra. The 2UZ V8 was used in even more models – the 4runner, Tundra, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, and the Lexus GX 470 and LX 470.

– Toyota 4Runner Forum – Largest 4Runner Forum Torque Specs and Service Information Revisited. My intention with this is to for this to be the same thing that the shorter “Torque specs” thread is, just in more detail, and a quick reference, instead of having to dig through a FSM to find them.
Why does the head gasket fail on a Toyota 4Runner?
The head gasket, according to Advance Auto Parts, is essentially a giant seal. It separates an engine’s combustion chambers from the rest of the block. This way, oil, dirt, and coolant don’t get into the chamber and foul it up, and the engine runs properly. However, like any other physical part, head gaskets can fail.
Which is better Toyota 4Runner V6 or 1GR?
The V6 is more fuel-efficient and requires slightly less maintenance while the V8 is smoother and offers better performance. You can’t go wrong with either – it all depends on how you use your 4runner. There are plenty of fans of both the 1GR V6 and the 2UZ V8 and most of them can’t be convinced that the other is just as good.
What’s the difference between Toyota 4Runner and Toyota Tundra?
It’s also worth mentioning that all of the famous “Million Mile Tundras” were equipped with the 4.7L V8 and not the 5.7L. There is speculation that the Japanese-built 4.7 in the 4runner and Lexus has stronger forged connecting rods than the American built 4.7 found in the Tundra and Sequoia.
Why does my 4Runner make a ticking sound?
Combining these with the bypass will trick the ECU into thinking everything is functioning normally. Perhaps one of the most common 4th gen 4runner problems is a cracked exhaust manifold. It happens to a lot of the v8s and creates an annoying (and embarrassing) ticking sound.
