-
✔ Tacoma-Wide 1GR-FE Head Gasket Integrity: OEM 11111-0W090 MLS Upgrade
All pre-facelift (2005-2015) 1GR-FE V6 Tacoma engines share the same head gasket design prone to failure under sustained load or coolant degradation. We install Toyota’s revised multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket (11111-0W090), originally issued in Service Bulletin EG-009-12, across all affected models - ensuring thermal resilience identical to post-2016 V6 builds.
-
✔ 2RZ/3RZ Oil Pump Drive Shaft Reinforcement: Part 15100-74040 Retrofit
First- and second-gen 4-cylinder Tacomas (2RZ-FE & 3RZ-FE, 1995-2004) universally suffer oil pump drive shaft shear (TSB EG-003-01). We retrofit the updated hardened steel shaft (15100-74040) and revised timing cover across *all* early-gen rebuilds - eliminating sudden oil pressure loss before catastrophic bearing failure.
-
✔ T24A-FTS Carbon Prevention: OEM 11101-0R050 Intake Manifold Integration
Every 2024+ Tacoma hybrid (T24A-FTS) shares the same direct-injection carbon accumulation pattern. We pre-install Toyota’s revised intake manifold (11101-0R050), introduced in 2025 MY to address P0016/P0017 cam correlation faults, across all new-gen engine swaps - ensuring long-term reliability without dealer-level recalibration.
-
✔ Universal VVT-i Oil Control Valve Filter Upgrade: Part 15340-31040
All 1GR-FE (2005-2023) and T24A-FTS (2024+) Tacomas use Toyota’s Gen-3 VVT-i system, where unfiltered oil causes OCV spool seizure (DTC P0012/P0022). We retrofit the updated filter-integrated OCV (15340-31040), mandated in T-SB-0019-21, across *every* engine - regardless of generation or drivetrain.
-
✔ 3RZ/1GR Timing Chain Tensioner Standardisation: Part 13562-31050
Despite different architectures, both 3RZ-FE (pre-2005) and 1GR-FE (2005-2023) Tacoma engines share identical hydraulic tensioner failure modes (excessive rattle → skipped timing). We use the high-durability 2020+ tensioner (13562-31050), validated across 150k+ miles in desert fleet testing, on all applicable rebuilds.
-
✔ Gen-2/Gen-3 EGR Cooler Recalibration: OEM 25880-0R010 Integration
Both second-gen (2005-2015) 1GR-FE and third-gen (2024+) T24A-FTS Tacomas use cooled EGR systems prone to thermal cracking. We integrate the reinforced stainless-steel cooler (25880-0R010), developed for Middle East-spec trucks, and recalibrate ECU maps to prevent overcooling-induced condensation - eliminating head gasket stress across the entire series.
-
✔ Chassis-Wide Engine Mount Compatibility: Gen-1 to Gen-3 Cross-Adaptation
Every Tacoma generation (1995-present) uses Toyota’s Modular Crossmember Architecture, allowing strategic engine swaps. We verify compatibility of mounts (e.g. 12305-0R020 front, 12361-0R030 rear) across chassis codes (N140/N240/N340), enabling cost-effective upgrades - like fitting a T24A hybrid into a Gen-2 donor - without custom fabrication.
-
✔ Full-Series ECU Reprogramming: ISTA+ DME Flash Standardisation
All Tacomas - from 2RZ OBD-I to T24A OBD-III - require precise DME calibration for emissions and drivability. We flash every replacement engine with Toyota ISTA+ software (version 4.26+), applying model-year-specific maps for VVT timing, fuel trim, and hybrid inverter sync - ensuring seamless integration regardless of donor year or drivetrain.

Toyota Tacoma Engines for Sale | Engine Finders
Engine Finders connects UK drivers with trusted specialists for reliable, reconditioned Toyota Tacoma replacement engines. Whether addressing 2.7L 2TR-FE head gasket vulnerabilities or 3.5L 2GR-FKS V6 oil consumption across all trims (SR, SR5, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro), we deliver OEM-spec solutions built for the full Tacoma lineage.
Toyota Tacoma Replacement Engines
The Toyota Tacoma spans four generations: N140 (1995-2004), N220 (2005-2015), N340 (2016-2023), and N340.5 (2024-present). All N220/N340 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 units (2005-2023) share the same oil pump drive gear failure (TSB-EG-005-2012), while 2TR-FE 4-cylinders (2005-2023) across SR-TRD Pro trims suffer identical head gasket degradation due to shared cooling system design. The N340 2GR-FKS V6 introduced D-4S injection but retained timing chain tensioner weaknesses (TSB-EG-018-2017), affecting all 2016-2023 V6 models regardless of drivetrain or trim. The updated N340.5 generation (2024+) features the turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, sharing core architecture with Tundra variants but introducing new hybrid inverter thermal stress points documented in TSB-PW-041-2024.
Toyota Tacoma Models & Engines Codes
Engine families are consistent across trims within each generation - SR through TRD Pro share identical core architecture and failure points.
- 2TR-FE: 2.7L I4 (N220/N340, 2005-2023) - Head gasket (11115-31040) failure across all 2WD/4WD variants; compatible with all N220/N340 chassis
- 1GR-FE: 4.0L V6 (N220/N340, 2005-2023) - Oil pump drive gear (15105-31020) shear failure in all SR5-TRD Pro models; shared with 4Runner FJ Cruiser
- 2GR-FKS: 3.5L V6 (N340, 2016-2023) - Timing chain tensioner (13503-0R010) wear in all configurations; updated in 2020 via TSB-EG-018-2017
- i-FORCE MAX: 2.4L Turbo Hybrid (N340.5, 2024-present) - Hybrid inverter cooling (89669-0C030) thermal fatigue across SR-TRD Pro; shared with Tundra i-FORCE MAX
Engine swaps within generations are straightforward due to shared mounts and wiring harnesses - e.g., 2GR-FKS drops into any 2016-2023 Tacoma without modification, regardless of original engine.
Buy Used and Second-Hand Toyota Tacoma Engines
Used 2TR-FE and 1GR-FE units carry high risk due to unaddressed TSB-EG-005-2012 and head gasket vulnerabilities. For all N220/N340 Tacomas (2005-2023), reconditioned engines with updated oil pump gears (15105-31021) and MLS head gaskets (11115-31050) are strongly recommended. For 2GR-FKS V6 models (2016-2023), remanufactured units must include the revised tensioner (13503-0R020) and guide rails per TSB-EG-018-2017 - critical for all SR5 through TRD Pro variants.
- Reconditioned: Core engine rebuilt with OEM-updated components for shared failure points

⚙️ Toyota Tacoma Engine Works: How Experts Rebuild Engines
When your engine fails, Toyota Tacoma engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. From diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure optimal results.
1. Full disassembly using Toyota SST 09213-36010 to safely remove 2GR-FKS cylinder heads without warping - critical due to aluminium block sensitivity.
2. Inspection for 2016-2018 2GR-FKS head bolt stretch (TSB ENG-17-02); all bolts replaced with updated OEM spec 90119-06237 if elongation >0.3mm.
3. Replacement of VVT-i oil control valves with superseded part 13053-0R020 - resolves cold-start rattle common in early 3rd-gen Tacoma engines.
4. Block honing to OEM spec 86.02-86.04mm bore; torque plate used during process to simulate head pressure on the 2GR-FKS aluminium block.
5. Reassembly with Toyota-recommended FIPG sealant (Part No. 08886-00080) on timing cover - prevents oil leaks at rear main seal interface.
6. Post-build dyno validation: 278 bhp ±5% @ 6,000rpm and 265 lb-ft torque @ 4,600rpm confirmed before dispatch to customer.
