It also doesn't put out much more HP than a decent 22R(E), given it's weight.  On the plus side though, it LOVES timing(22* or so, IIRC), at the expense of MPG.

Yes it does :yupyup:  I've got decent gas mileage though :dunno:
Its a turd in stock form. I have it in my 95 4Runner and it gets horrible mileage and is just plain slow,but has not yet popped a head gasket.

I think thats cause you've got a runner :thumbs:  I've got it in my xcab, and it isn't bad.  Its not fantastic, but it isn't bad :dunno:

I Hate these motors, but then again, I went through 3 of them in a year.  However, when you get them to work, and they aren't blowing heads, they run well.  I have discovered that it is much easier to swap motors than to do a head job, but thats just my :twocents:  There isn no reason to run from them if you find a good deal, but you should know what you are getting into if you do buy one.

Big thing with these motors is KEEP THEM FULL 
full of coolant, and full of oil.  YOu do that, and they will run, but if they get low, say :wave: to those headgaskets
:usa: Its better to die on your feet than live on your knees :usa:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
