In about 2002 I bought a 96 4runner that had some front end damage
And the water pump cover was damaged, it had a overhead cam so the water pump is where the cam would be and driven by the cam belt but it has a cover that looks like a normal pump with the pulley and mount for the fan
This part was like $500 at the stealership and I couldn’t find a used one
Everywhere I called said they don’t sell parts off good engines
One junkyard finally said , well we sold an engine to a guy and he never brought back his old engine for a core refund . Here’s his number, maybe he still has it and will sell you some parts
It took me at least 50 phone calls to find a Toyota engine that didn’t run
And when I called the guy turned out he had let his girlfriend drive his 4runner and she had called and said the transmission or something felt broken.
She had somehow shifted it into 4 low and gotten on the interstate and blown a rod out the side of the block
