    Hello all from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Andrew here just introducing myself and my Rig. Shes a 06 SR5 with 211, ***k on the Chassis and 10 on the V6 motor yes 10!!! I spun the Berring in late June of last year. So, I thought about fixing it cheap and sell it. cause I wanted a Tundra. but then I started looking for parts. And well low and behold they actually had an aftermarket scene. (I literally just used it for daily driving and that's it.) so instead of getting a new engine and just doing a swap... I wanted to just do a rebuild and with some of the money I "saved" we did some upgrades as well.... So, we let the fun begin. the following will just be the upgrades so far. we just got her running 2 days ago and if I can add pictures and videos to the post, I'll do that otherwise they will be in the Comments. nice to meet y'all.

    Full stock bottom end rebuild
    replaced rods, crank
    block machined
    new oil pump
    New main bearings
    New thrust bearing
    New piston rings
    New VVT solenoids
    New plugs
    Timing service

    Now the upgrades:
    Head Machined/ Port and polish
    oversized valves
    Kelford NA supra springs and retainers
    Kelford 256/256 Mild Cam
    Exhaust cam gears
    upgraded Cam shaft phaser
    Mishimoto Low temp racing thermostat
    AFE Magnum Stage 2 cold air intake
    AFE 76mm Throttle Body
    JBA shorty headers
    Custom SS exhaust with V-bands straight piped

    And more to come of course. Thanks for the read and add.

    Nice rebuild. Did you have to go with .020” oversized pistons and .010” bearings?

    Interesting to learn about since most people go with a remanufactured engine. I don’t read about many people doing it themselves like this! Nice job

    Everything on the bottom end was stock replacement. I was looking at doing the stroker kit until I got the sticker shock lol.

    Also whoever runs this forum or the moderators.... can you make it easier to post pictures and videos it is insanely ridiculously hard to figure out. It took me like 4 hours to figure out how to post 6 pictures and I can't figure out how to post videos of it running

    I think if you just provide a link of your video on YouTube the video will automatically embed itself… I think.
