Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ

This is Part 2 of a 7 part video series documenting the replacement of cylinder heads on the Toyota 3.4 L V6 5VZ-FE Engine. There’s many reasons why you might find yourself needing to remove the heads. You could have a suspected bad head gasket or cracked head. You could have a suspected issue with the head, like a burnt valve, and you need to rebuild the head. It could be because you’re rebuilding the entire engine. Whatever your reason to pull the cylinder heads, this video series will walk you through all the steps necessary to get the job done successfully.

In Part 2, we show you how to tear down the front of the engine, basically everything you would remove for a very complete timing belt job.
