2017 Toyota Tacoma 2TR-FE 2.7L Remanufactured Engine

Description

Meet strict commercial vocational pickup maintenance benchmarks with 395 lbs of precision-machined cast iron powertrain engineering that outputs dependable four-cylinder pulling power and active thermal control throughout the Toyota Tacoma 2TR-FE 2.7L Remanufactured Engine engineered for 2017 Toyota Tacoma commercial fleet pickup trucks. This 16-valve DOHC Dual VVT-i platform restores high low-end torque, cast iron durability, and dependable multi-shift service.

Cast from high-density gray iron with deep structural skirts, this 2TR-FE engine block halts cylinder bore distortion under heavy continuous hauling. A micro-polished forged steel crankshaft turns within tri-metal bearings, linked to forged steel connecting rods and graphite-coated hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Cylinder decks receive an Ra 30 finish for MLS gasket sealing over diamond plateau honed bores. Dry mass measures 395 lbs with a 6.0-quart capacity stamped steel oil pan.

Key Features of Toyota Tacoma 2TR-FE

Vocational fleet supervisors buy Toyota Tacoma 2TR-FE remanufactured engine packages to keep municipal utility pickups and field service trucks in continuous operation. Every remanufactured long block undergoes vacuum decay testing to guarantee total fluid circuit separation before crate departure.

• Dual VVT-i phasers continuously adjust intake and exhaust camshaft timing to broaden engine torque
• Twin counter-rotating balance shaft mechanisms cancel four-cylinder secondary vibrations during high-RPM operation
• Dual overhead camshafts actuate sixteen valves through low-friction roller rocker arms
• 0.0011 to 0.0018 inch main bearing clearances maintain solid hydrodynamic lubrication film strength
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain combustion seals across extreme summer transit heat
• High-flow internal trochoid oil pumps channel pressurized lubricant to overhead camshaft journals
• Precision rotating package balancing protects Toyota Tacoma 2TR-FE driveline parts from vibration

Tacoma 2TR Operational Combustion Limits

Operating lubricant pressure produces 18 to 22 PSI during warm idle and expands to 50 through 65 PSI at 2400 RPM cruise speeds. Internal coolant temperatures stabilize between 188°F and 202°F through regulated cross-flow cooling circulation. This 2.7-liter DOHC engine generates 159 horsepower at 5200 RPM and 180 lb-ft continuous torque at 3800 RPM with a 10.2:1 compression ratio. Cylinder cranking pressure measures between 170 and 185 PSI across all four chambers. The cooling system rejects 2200 BTU per minute during loaded highway transit.

Tacoma 2TR Crankshaft Transmission Alignment

A 6-bolt rear crankshaft flange mounts flush to factory AC60E 6-speed automatic transmission flexplates or manual flywheels. Measured crankshaft thrust endplay checks out between 0.0030 and 0.0070 inches. The 1.102-inch front crankshaft snout features a single keyway to position the timing chain drive gear and harmonic balancer, holding true accessory drive belt pulley alignment.

Tacoma 2TR Fleet Servicing Protocols

Technicians must prime the engine oil pump prior to first startup by cranking the starter without ignition until oil pressure warning lamps extinguish. Fill the crankcase with 0W-20 motor oil meeting API service standards. This production engine is not engineered for turbocharging conversions, nitrous injection, or competitive off-road racing.

• Check crankcase oil level and coolant tank fluid volume each shift before vehicle dispatch
• Drain break-in motor oil and install fresh oil filter after 500 initial miles
• Perform routine oil and filter changes every 5000 miles during commercial transit cycles

Tacoma 2TR Commercial Warranty Manifest

Commercial fleet purchasers receive a 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty covering structural casting and internal moving components. The heavy-duty wood crate contains one remanufactured long block engine, a complete engine install gasket set, spark plug well seals, front timing cover seals, dyno test documentation, and priming instructions.
