I rebuilt my little 3rd gen 4runner this past summer.
Model: 1996 4Runner 3RZ-FE 2.7L Base Model, Manual Transmission, 2WD
Started with P0303 CEL Code (cylinder 3 misfire). Turned out to be a cracked head. Tore engine down, had re-machined, and returned as short block. Installed new head and rebuilt with nearly all new parts.
~1,500 miles in post-build and running strong!
Next up, I'll be rebuilding then installing a trans
