[QUOTE="WHITE TRASH1, post: 1551387, member: 15951"] Of course R series blow head gaskets due to the aluminum head expanding and contracting at a different rate than the cast iron block. That's just basic mechanics. The problem is the 3 liter has/had a recall due to factory flaws in the head torque spec and gasket. Not a big deal if it was an easier engine to work on. Unfortunately everything about it is a pain in the **** and expensive. It does work out well for me though. I can pick up blown up 3.0 4runners cheap all day long and make cash parting them to the mini truck guys and scrap the rest for a nice profit. :redneck: [/QUOTE]
