I would wash it down with the extra coolant I have in my garage...
only if it's been in your UR first.
you are kinky!
@bloc is our resident parts expert. Was there a part number change?
@ryanCA dont act shocked. You said you're ugly. Your own words lol.
That can't be right. Your wife said you are beutiful... on the inside.
Correcting himself on the LC V8s. That said, he actually makes good points about the ownership of an 80 series. Accurately described my ownership experience of an 80 series, that I bought to scratch that itch and turned into not-so-good. Fortunately, I was able to pass it along to someone with more time and money than me, but not before spending a good chunk of money and time myself. Unless you are a collector, listen to the man.
my wife is a liar like the car care nut
Passenger side was 11115-38020 from 2008 to 04/2017, at which point it changed to 11115-38021. If you try to order the original number from toyota the 38021 is what you'll get now.
Driver side? Same part number from 08-21 cruiser and 22 LX.
I suppose it's possible the part was updated without the number changing, as happened with the old/new radiator..
Did I just catch up on this video and that is why the CCN is labeled as a liar by our in-house expert from LA?
Around min 12 regarding HG’s. Seems good news for 2014 and above for as far as you believe him.

thus i have been shouting from rooftop that 16+ is the best 200. everyone knows that
now the 14-15 people trying to piggy back - laughable
people hang on CCnut when it serves their purpose… way of the world
Yes, clearly the 16+ is the dogs bollocks...
I just did a passenger bank head gasket on a 2014+ Tun 3UR in January. 3rd 3UR passenger bank gasket since March 2023. Coolant in either #6 or 8.
But I have yet to replace a LC200 head gasket. Likely someone else in the shop has done one on an LC200 at some point, but I’m just speaking for myself.
I had an LC100 in December, but it had 380k miles.
It either will or it won’t. Until then, party on, Wayne.
Any common denominators in those three 3URs? I.e. never had the coolant changed. Had a prior overheat event? Do you remember the aprox mileage?
Any of those three have problems with warpage of the block as CCN claims to be fatal?
The Tundra outsold the LC by several orders of magnitude so the lack of 200s isn't necessarily a significant data point.

The most recent, ‘14 Tundra, had just over 70,000 miles. Yes, seventy thousand. No coolant change history on it. Also had a failing fuel level sensor. Never did get any info on vehicle history, guy had just purchased it and he had an aftermarket warranty.
Block was fine, head was JUST BARELY out of spec.
I had a Seq in maybe 2022 where the block WAS warped but it was 250K+ miles and towed pretty consistently. Water pump didn’t look exceptional from what I can recall right now. It went to the yard.
The whole "the HG part number and production dates changed in 2014" explanation was pretty weak on actual substance. This same line of reasoning was used in his video on the V35A main bearings - suspecting a parts design issue by pointing to the bearing part number changes in lieu of referring to Toyota's own explanation of the issue that was officially filed with a federal government agency. The fact is Toyota part numbers change for different reasons or no reason at all, all the time. And as any 200 owner knows parts can get redesigned without the part number actually changing either (cough radiator cough)
hallelujah
it is the viagra of the 200 world
and when you deive a bloated highlander like me, lots of viagra is needdd
