Head help

Have an 02 Tundra 3.4 and have a cracked head. Where is the best source for heads? Used and refurbished or new. I know the OEM is always best but I am gonna replace both sides. Just trying to go to a good source. The internet has been failing me generally. Getting mixed reviews on sites and not sure where to go that isn’t 2000 a side

 

Summit Racing has them for $1K each including $130 core charge, no idea on quality though.

Yota1 but their site says "available on backorder" so not sure about them. Maybe worth giving them a call.

I cracked my head on my 3.4 Taco so that's become my project truck. Have it completely dissasembled right now but also recently listed to sell

That’s what I am trying to avoid. I see a lot of them out there but as for decent quality I am worried.

 

I was looking on there too but didn’t find the head. Only the gasket kit.

 

In my experience, as a long-time Summit customer, their parts are almost always good quality. They have a huge hotrod base and don't play around when it comes to parts.

 

I had to check after seeing your post. Unfortunately you can't buy a complete 2uz engine off Amazon, but you can buy rebuild kits and pistons.

 

Can't speak for Summit personally but my brother is working on a pretty big project and he has nothing but good things to say about Summit. He's practically been living there the past several months. Here's a few shots he sent me..
