Here's why:
* Torque specs vary depending on the specific engine and year. Even within the same model, variations can occur.
* Providing incorrect torque specs could lead to serious engine damage.
To get the correct torque specs for your vehicle:
1. Consult your Toyota Tacoma's owner's manual. The most reliable source for this information.
2. Use a reputable online repair manual specific to your vehicle. Sites like AllData or Chilton provide detailed information.
3. Contact a Toyota dealership or a qualified mechanic. They have access to the latest information and can help ensure you have the correct specs.
Remember: Always use a torque wrench to tighten head bolts. Do not overtighten them, as this can damage the head gasket and engine.
