    Welcome,

    You may want to be more specific about the engine you're rebuilding. I can assume you drive a 96 based on your name but, is it a 5vz or a 3rz? Does your engine have an oil cooler? You could probably also start with the basics that most people do including timing belt and water pump. New gaskets, if its a 5vzfe timmy the tool man makes an excellent disassemble video with what to replace. Hope you haven't gotten discouraged, sometimes the thread needs a little push.
