Toyota 3RZ 2.7L Engine 1995–1996 Tacoma T100 4Runner

Description

The Toyota 3RZ-FE 2.7L engine from the 1995–1996 Tacoma, T100, and 4Runner is one of Toyota’s most reliable and well-regarded four-cylinder engines. This JDM import comes with low verified mileage — just 88,000 miles — and has been fully inspected and tested for compression, leaks, and smooth performance. The engine includes the distributor, making it ready for straightforward installation. Designed for both durability and practical power delivery, the 3RZ-FE is a proven choice for daily driving, off-road use, and light commercial work.

The 3RZ-FE features a robust cast-iron block paired with an aluminum cylinder head, delivering the right combination of strength and heat dissipation. Producing strong low-end torque and excellent mid-range power, it is well-suited for trucks and SUVs that need dependable performance in demanding conditions. Its timing chain design eliminates the need for timing belt replacements, further reducing maintenance costs.

Before shipment, each engine is thoroughly tested. This includes compression testing for all cylinders, checking oil and coolant seals, verifying smooth idle and acceleration response, and inspecting the distributor and ignition system. The block, crankshaft, and head are carefully examined to ensure no cracks, warping, or excessive wear. All results must meet OEM performance specifications before approval for sale.
