Ordered it today - should be a couple weeks. I’ve never ordered a head off Toyota, but I’m assuming the valve guides and seats are in already?
Make sure to get new cam bearings and valve stem seals.

Thanks - I was under the impression you still keep that port, run the hose and splice it into the other hose that joined the IP. I'll look more then.
I have noticed this with several 1HZ's where I couldn't find anything else wrong with it . It is just one engine vs another and these 1HZ's pretty much all drive and feel different which I think has something to do with the previous decades of use and in particular how they where driven and maintained . Best test is to get it out on the highway at 75 mph for a bit and if anything is wrong it will show you .Maybe the saga is not over.
After putting head back on I’ve driven this truck short stints (around 20 mins or less) and noticed that the upper rad hose is getting firm. Not like it was for sure, but still has some pressure. It’s not rock-hard. With the cap off, and idling for 10 mins or so, the coolant will slowly rise - not much, but it has flowed over and out of the radiator a small amount. I’m wondering if I have not bled the system enough or if at all.
Truck doesn’t run hot at all. I have not put a temp gauge on it, but it hasn’t reached half way point letting it fast idle or driving it. Stays cool. Also, there is no blow-by at with the upside-down oil cap or hand. Pretty great. Power is less that to be desired, but it’s an automatic 1HZ.
I’m obviously hoping this is not the alternative with the HG. I’m tracing a electrical issue in another thread, and have the alternator off, so can’t do a exhaust gas test yet.
Thoughts? Talk me off the ledge?
Next time channel your inner redneck, set up your own franken-hoist and save your back....money well spentFirst off, this is loads of fun pulling a head off a block by yourself. I’m taking a break as I think I threw my back out. I haven’t got the head all the way out yet so i don’t know about cracks yet. My wife refuses to help.
Time for a liquid reward.
Looks like some nice coolant there…
