Toyota Tundra engine got pulled at my friends shop. Which part doesn't belong? Hint, it won't fall out if you turn the block over. :D

Looks like you have a broken off valve head stuck on the piston....:eek:
bet she didn't crank much psi on the compression check.

Is it now a 3V cylinder?

Less than a 3v...

FS: Valve heads, $8.00!

What caused that....?

Maybe a few too many revs on a -5 degree morning??

Timing belt slipped. Customer swears he was off the pedal and going slow when it happened. :rolleyes: Getting the torque convertor bolts out was fun considering it wouldn't turn over.

Interference engines driven by rubber bands.....errrrr......I mean....timing belts are a bee-atch when they get old!

You never know.....I saw somebody driving by at @ 35 mph blow 2 rods out of the engine.......and he was just cruising along.

I walked over to the now stopped car to see what all the mechanical mayhem was about.
There was most a rod laying in the street in a pool of hot oil.

True, there's a lot of mechanical energy and mayhem going on in engines as it is. Controlled explosions ftw! :) I will take chains over rubber bands though!

What year was this tundra? Did I read this correctly? Timing belt, not chain?

I think it was a 2007. I know the 4.7l 2000 to 2009 Tundras had belts. The 4.6l and 5.7s had chains.
