    Hello all, I've owned a couple toyota trucks, currently have a 95' tacoma with the 3RZFE. I'm looking at a 94 4runner with the 3.0 v6 this afternoon. 93,000 miles. Automatic Transmission. The person selling it just "replaced one new cylinder head complete valve job new Timing belt water pump idler pulley And radiator n thermostat, runs and drives great". I've attached photos of what he sent me.

    This is a pretty broad question, but do things in these photos check out? I'm pretty novice with motors, and have never done a head gasket myself. I know the 3.0's are infamous for head gasket issues, and I wanted to make sure he did things correctly (if that's at all possible to know from photos). If you guys have any good questions I could ask when I see it, that would be really helpful. Thanks a lot!

    Kidding... I'm a kidder!

    You cannot tell the quality of the work from the photos BUT it is all nice and clean, indicating some care was taken. The idlers in the photos are new looking (they gunk up in the coolant passage on that upper one in a hurry).
