This new flywheel that we make is $100 below the one we sold from another supplier. Made in USA right here in Lake Havasu City Arizona. In stock and ready to ship.

We have brand new heads in stock and ready to ship for the 3VZ V6

LC Engineering has designed a perfect replacement for the 3.0L (3VZ V6) customer who is on a tight budget. These budget minded heads start with a brand new casting and then our cylinder head experts fit them with all brand new components. We use a stock sized steel intake valve and a stock sized stainless exhaust valve to handle the higher exhaust temps. The head is then fitted with LC Engineering exclusive Street Performer valve springs. These springs provide a higher spring pressure along with a smaller diameter wire to allow the use of a higher lift cam without any coil bind issues. The valve train is finished off with Viton valve seals, hardened keepers, new Street Performer retainers and an exhaust stud kit so you can replace those old worn out exhaust studs. No longer will you need to bother with trying to get a set of old heads machined flat to keep from blowing head gaskets! These heads have a perfectly flat surface, providing a perfect head gasket seal for years of problem-free service. To keep the price down these heads are not ported but we do offer an alternative option if you are looking for a more performance oriented cylinder head call the sales desk for more information.

Oxygen Sensors

The oxygen sensor sends a signal to the engine control computer . Depending on the signal received, the computer allows more or less fuel to keep the air fuel ratio balanced around 14.7:1. Other conditions affect the ratio. Visual examination of the sensor can provide some clues see below.

o2sensor


As an oxygen sensor ages, contaminants from normal combustion and oil ash accumulate on the sensing element. This reduces the sensor's ability to respond quickly to changes in the air/fuel mixture. The sensor slows down and becomes "sluggish".

At the same time, the sensor's output voltage may not be as high as it once was, giving the false impression that the air/fuel mixture is leaner than it actually is. The result can be a richer-than-normal air/fuel mixture under various operating conditions that causes fuel consumption and emissions to rise.

The problem may not be noticed right away because the change in performance occurs gradually. But, over time, the situation will get worse, ultimately requiring the sensor to be replaced to restore peak engine performance.

To minimize the consequences of normal aging, We recommend oxygen sensor replacement for preventive maintenance at the following intervals:

Type of Oxygen Sensor

Mileage Replacement Interval Recommended

Unheated oxygen sensors on 1976 to early 1990s vehicles

Every 30,000 - 50,000 miles

Heated (1st generation) oxygen sensors on mid-1980s to mid-1990s vehicles

Every 60,000 miles

Heated (2nd generation) oxygen sensors on mid-1990s and newer vehicles

Every 100,000 miles

Keeping your oxygen sensor(s) fresh may improve fuel economy as much as 10%-15% (which can save $100 each year in fuel costs on average). Keeping the sensor in good operating condition will also minimize exhaust emissions, reduce the risk of costly damage to the catalytic converter and ensure peak engine performance (no surging or hesitating). LC Engineering is working on listing O2 sensor for all Toyota trucks 1980 - 2010
