TOYOTA TACOMA ENGINE REBUILD STARTS NOW!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2023
- I started this truck build with the intention of taking the completed project to Easter Jeep Safari... Lets just say, that's not going to happen!
I'm not nearly as far along as i hoped to be but that's how projects like this go. I have fully torn the motor down and had all the machine work done so now it's time to start reassembling the engine and getting it ready to be put back in the truck!!! This is exciting and even though this Toyota tacoma will not look anything like it did in the beginning it's really starting to come together.

Look at that insulation in those walls someone passed their 4 way inspection congrats Trent Allie and Brandon on the passing and also Dean the man The HVAC Man🎉😅😂
Nice catch! 😊
I didn't even notice because it blends in. I think their other channel is 3 weeks behind
Spoiler alert, you have probably 😊ruined their reveal for the next video!

Who cares! May be out tomorrow or Friday. Maybe they didn't pass the 1st time. But we know they will at least eventually

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that noticed the 4 way went well. All that insulation on the wall's and no jackets and also no complain that the temperature is low and cold in there by Allie. Catch you all on Trent & Allie, have a good Sunday you'll.
I love “Trent’s Garage”. My dad was a professional mechanic and body builder. He was great at bringing my brothers in his garage and teaching them. I was always interested in learning but being a girl I was not allowed. It’s so way cool to be able to watch you and along the way you explain all the how and why’s. I thank you for inviting me to tag along via your videos. They are so much fun for me to watch. Trent if ever you have a daughter bring her into your garage as you do your sons. It was a bonding moment with my dad that he missed.
Trent , I see you passed four way inspection with all of the insulation, good job!
I noticed you already pass your electrrician inspection and insulationed your Garage before next Monday's video. I do not miss anything here lol. I'm carpenter by trade. I enjoy everything you guys do the pass two years. Keep up a good work, love you guys.
I really respect the attitude trent has towards feedback and learning. Great example for younger folks!
Except there off trying to figure out what pronouns they want to be called and what to call there moron friends.
Terrible culture shock this country is dealing with right now.
Took a chance and bid on a 25 yr old Toyota tacoma 4x4 2.7 with 20k on the odo. Flawless and perfect when I showed up. A collector owned it along with a warehouse full of other amazing vehicles. I did change out the tires immediately per they were almost 20 yrs old. Timmy C Arizona
Funny that Trent is doing this intricate engine rebuild and everyone just notices the insulation so the 4-way was done (including me).... ;-) Congrats on that and you made the engine rebuild look easy or at least doable (until this point)
ikr
In the "olden" days, we used white lithium grease on all the bearings for initial start up. Main bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings and cam lobes.
Just for future thought before u install pistons into the cylinder, u should clean out each cylinder with a shop rag and transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is a detergent. And even after cleaning the engine in a parts washer there is still always a little dirt imbedded in the cylinder wall. Just good for thought.
Another Sunday with Trent's Garage..watching and learning. Thanks for share Trent..Love you 🙌❤️
Trent, having done some wrenching in my day, I am enjoying the heck out of your videos of the rebuild. You are light years ahead of anything that I’ve ever done with an engine and I admire your precision and attention to detail. I am looking forward to the first time you fire that puppy up and I’m sure it’s going to purr or roar like a cat! And congrats on passing the four-way!
Dave laughing at Trent’s report of snow accumulation…😂😂. Too funny
Trent, patience is absolutely necessary in machine work and most other things. The fact that you understand why it's important to follow each process carefully bodes well for your success! Great video for anyone attempting an engine rebuild! Thanks!
I see you have insulation up in the shop so that must mean the garage passed the 4 way inspection? Congratulations! It is amazing that your auto mechanic knowledge began in school, they did a great job!
Congrats on the 4-way pass. I love watching you rebuild this engine. So much knowledge in so many areas.
Trent,use break in oil only! If you do, drain it after 250 miles and go back with Synthetic. Valvoline Racing oil and it will last forever! I did that with a 350 Chevy 28 years ago and it still runs and not a drop of oil! I have used this way for over 42 years and never had any issues!
That’s super helpful thank you 🙏
LOL the heck with the 4-way inspection let's put a 427 big-block in that thing
Trent, I've never seen an engine being built so I appreciate having you explain what you're doing and why you are doing it.
When I use to rebuild engines, I always used STP additive to put on the main and rod bearings. To keep them lubed
Don't know much about cars or engines, but I really enjoy your channel
even in the old days assembly lube was there to use. I used it in the flathead engine I built back in the late 50's.
In the good old days I used STP when assembling the bearing and caps. I’m not sure it’s even made anymore.
I can predict the future! You passed the four-way. (the insulation is the reveal!)
Yeah, but he should’ve put vapour barrier up before rebuilding an engine and getting Rockwool in it
Brandon and Trent with matching black jeans and Mountain Made Van t-shirts! 💯 #Twinning 😅😅😅
So glad to see Trent wearing gloves more often these days. Our hands are so very useful they are precious to us but often get neglected and/or abused. I know bc I fell and broke my wrist and lost the use of my thumb in the process. It took many weeks after the surgery to rehabilitate and to gain the full use of my hand again. I am now very cognizant of their value even though the one formerly injured is not as useful as it used to be, it’s close. Im grateful. 😊
In my experience with synthetic oil, they are great after 2500 miles 500 is too soon. I have used a decent oil for the initial startup and cam break in. Then I drain it put in a good oil and run the first 500 miles. Then drain and put good oil in drive to 2500 miles then drain and fill with good synthetic oil. Your rings will seat in, and you will have a good broken in engine. As for the assemble lube has been around my 60 years, they have a thicker viscosity, so it clings the parts longer than straight oil and helps with the initial startup. keep up the great videos.
Looks like the 4 way must have gone well. Have fun with it Trent. Had a Stroke and lost vision in one eye and loss of motor function on one side so living my life watching you do all the things I cant any more
In "olden days" we used STP on the parts during assembly....
I drove a 2003 Chevrolet S 10 quad 4 door long truck bed for 22 years my Dad n I back in the day had to work on my Ol Truck lots of times I coukd tell you some Truck stories Trent lol 😆 glad I'm a SUV Honda Owner now my Ol truck I miss I sold mine!
I really enjoyed watching the engine being reassembled as you expressed the importance of every move and you showed us how. It’s especially great because everything is so clean and easy to see everything going together.
I just know the engine is going to work very well. Great experience watching the reassembly.
This is commonly called rebuilding "the bottom end". Becaue you have to flip the block over to get to the crankshaft, connecting rods, and bearings. When he starts working on the camshafts, cylinder heads, valves and timing then he'll be rebuilding "the top end". Gearhead speak.
Brandon needs to ask more questions. I love hearing Trent's explanation.
Big Thumbs Up 👍
Grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to Trents Garage. Although I am 71 years old,and nolonger able to drive due to my health. I enjoy watching you. Thank you.
Hooray for the insulation!!!
Truck coming along great can't wait to see it all done
Trent put the motor on a engine stand and use an ignition switch while it’s still on the stand and out of the engine compartment. Buena surety!
That garage is sure looking warmer 😉 Loving the Tacoma rebuild videos and can't wait to see the finished truck off roading!
trent i have rebuilt mostly chevrolet engines and I NEVER EVER try to dry start one without sticking a drill on the oil pump shaft and spinning it until oil runs freely through the entire block..just my 2cents. enjoy the build and when the day it first lights up there is a feeling of euphoria like none other. 🙂
Even Tang is different than what I drank as a child.
I know this is all about Trent's Garage, and, but I see insulation so you must have passed 4 way? Congratulations!
Trent you are always worrying when yo do things for the first time!! Trust yourself and just go for it!
Sorry Trent should have watched faarther into the video. you are doing great. Lucas is good stuff
Congratulation's Trent and Allie Looks like you passed inspections. Love the Rebuild, Can hardly wait to hear this run. Shop is looking good.
I noticed that you didn’t check the bearing clearances with plastic gaugei. I know it’s all new but any thing can happen it doesn’t Hurt to double check and make sure it’s right!😊😊
I agree. Also didn't check the ring end gap. You don't want to small of a gap where the rings will butt up when they heat up. And a good idea to check the thrust clearance on the crank. I assume you checked the orientation of the rods on the pistons. Also cleanliness is everything I assume you did a thorough cleaning on the welding/grinding bench before starting. You don't want any of those grindings in your engine. I was also taught to use clean white rags with clean oil to wipe out the cylinders, you keep doing it until the rags come out white then you know you got all the metal out from the machine/honing process. When you're driving the pistons in the cylinders have control of the rod with your other hand so it doesn't hit the journal and mess up your polish job. I've also heard that today's oils don't have the zinc in them and you want to add a zinc additive to your break in oil. I think this more for flat tappet cams. Might be worth researching. For your last 90 degrees on your torque to yield bolts I wouldn't use your torque wrench just grab a long ratchet or breaker bar. I admire your ambition and hard work. You get so much accomplished. 👍🙂 Great job!
Insulation! Yay!
It’s fun to watch and intriguing at how dive into the engine rebuild. Can’t wait to hear it purr. One more thing on your Trent and Allie segment. Looks like you passed your four way, because the wall around your electrical panel was insulated 😊
Looks good to me. I always put the crankshaft in dry with the bearings, then torque the cap bolts using plasti gage. Then take all of the caps back off and check the oil clearance between the bearing and the crankshaft by reading the plasti gage. I've learned not to trust that bearings are made correctly, because like all mass produced things, they're sometimes not, and if you get one that's too tight, it can spell disaster, and too lose will hurt oil pressure. Once I've done that, I put the crankshaft in as you did, and depending on if I'm going to use the engine right away or if it could sit awhile, I've used the same assembly lube you did, I've used stp, I've used Vaseline, and I've used red n tacky bearing grease. As you torque each main cap, give the crankshaft a turn, this way if you have a tight one, or if something binds, you'll know which cap to close in on and check out. Then, when you're putting the rings on the pistons, you need to check the ring gaps by putting the piston in the cylinder straight and checking the gap with a feeler gauge. If the gap is too tight, you can file one end of the ring to open the gap up. Ring gap is important because it allows for temperature. If the gap is too tight, the ends could meet and damage the piston and possibly the cylinder wall. You said something about a turbo or super charger, so you'll want to loosen the ring gaps to the loose end of the specs. The bearings and oil clearances, ring gaps, as well as the piston to cylinder wall clearances may have already been checked at the machine shop, and most of the time they're ok, but then there's that one time they're not that comes to bite you! The only other thing is you need to pay attention to where your ring gaps line up on the piston. The bottom 2 rings are oil control rings, and I like to line the gaps up 180⁰ from each other, then the bottom compression ring 90⁰ from the oil ring gap and the top ring 180⁰ from that. Also, some rings have a taper built into them, so there is a top and a bottom, and usually there is a dot indicating the top somewhere near the ring end. All ring manufacturers are different in how they want that done, and there should be instructions on that packed with your rings, if there is no marking, then there is no top or bottom, and it can go either way. You also need to assembly lube or oil the piston skirts for the same reason that you lube the rings, there won't be any oil getting to them at first, and you don't want a seizure. Spin the engine over a few times and make sure nothing is binding. There is also a spec for crankshaft end play that you should check once everything is together, as well as side clearances between the rods and each other and the crankshaft journals.
Wow that got long, and you might already know alot of it, sorry for the novel.
Toyota forever!!
Thanks Trent, that was absorbing, this was the most enjoyable video I have watched.
Best wishes from Mike. ❤
I like the way you explain things as you go. Great video! Thx....Always good to see Brandon and hear Allie in the background. Keep it up!.
You passed 4-way!! Awesome!
This brought back memories of the first build I did at 18 years old with my dad. It was a triumph vitesse straight 6 engine , 2 litre. So you can imagine how small the pistons were. But they had quite a long stroke, so the engine was low revving (red line at 4800 ) but high torque. Took a month to rebuild and once bedded in did a top speed of 106 mph. I was a very happy man lol.
The machinists I worked around always kept rags or old washclothes on the benches so things didn't roll off and kept things in one handy place.
For first start oil, you'll probably want to use a break-in oil. You can get as complicated as you want, but I followed a 100 mile change and a 250 mile on break-in oil, then with regular, non-synthetic, a 500 mile, 1000 mile and then a regular OCI with what ever oil you want to run. The idea is to flush out the fine metal shavings as often as possible.
Good Video. I never was a "car guy" to this extent, but you make this engine build very interesting. I love the way you explain what you are doing and the fear that goes with it. Allie is doing a great job with the camera. Good luck and I'll be watching...Howard
Trent please use break in oil when you build a motor for the first 250 miles then do a regular oil change of your choice.
Don’t have a CLUE what you’re doing - but you somehow manage to make it interesting! Keep up the good work
Ok Trent I don't much at all about motors but I did own a 2007 Tacoma with the 6 cylinder engine which was 236 hp and I never thought it had the power it needed.I test drove a 2022 and to me it seems the truck itself has gotten heavier and the horse power was 278 and it felt really weak so I no your talked about maybe adding a super charger to this engine or turbo can't remember exactly what you said but I think it's going to struggle to move those huge tires and truck.
Just my concern but you know what your doing.just don't want you to build that whole truck and engine and wish you had bought a bigger motor for it.
But I do no most of the time rock crawling is just that crawling slowly over rough terrain and rocks so maybe it will be ok.
It's truly amazing watching you rebuilding the inner parts of the motor.never seen it done so up close like that. It's remarkable everything you know about so many different things and what you don't know you research it until your confident enough to gone it a go. The whole house build now the garagemahal and apartment build now the rock crawler truck.
Really impressed with your abilities and knowledge of so many different things. Most of us out here in the world are afraid to change the air filter in our vehicles thinking were going to break something and screw it up and cost us hundreds of $$$. That's me LOL and believe me I am excellent and breaking things and costing me or someone else money.
So I hire the pros to do most everything.
Now I am pretty proud I have the oil service down really good on my land rover.i sure ain't paying anyone to do that.its like $300.
So bought the vacuum pump and full synthetic oil and filter and do it myself. Was really nervous the forst couple times but it pretty simple just have to make sure I use the torque wrench to tighten the filter housing cover to the right spec and done.
But I'm no Trent that's for sure.
Love your channel buddy keep up the great work and looking forward to next Sunday and Trent & Allie today and Fridays.
Yall are awesome 👌 Thanks
Great episode, Trent. Looks like you're starting to find your groove here. Really fantastic camera work and editing as well!
Trent, of all trades with his trusty assistant Brandon
White Lithium Lube was the old way for break-in protection
Boy you explained that very clearly 😊
Trent, looks like you know what you're doing. I don't know much about fabricating and welding but I do know engine rebuilds. This baby is going to purrrrr!
I also have a Toyota Tacoma, so I am going to rush out and start disassembling my truck now. I a fairly sure I can get it back together with no more than two or three left over parts, so it should work.
I admire you taking on a VVT engine with no experience! Best of luck...I mean that!
hey Trent use assembly lube on all your bearings like lugriplate 105 or power punch. oil will go away after a while. I assume you will not be starting it in a month or so. Personal note. dont use Penzoil it is garbage. Valvoline or Mobil 1 is a much better choice
This takes me back to rebuilding VW engines about 50 years ago. Slightly smaller (and lighter) but essentially the same. It was a fun hobby, but that was when everybody started rebuilding them for way more power than they could handle. I went the other way, and built them for reliability, like lowering the compression ratio to 7:1 so they could run on regular gas. Here a few suggestions, which you may have done and just not showed: 1) You can check the main and rod bearing clearance with plastigage by sticking a piece in the race and then torque the cap. You disassemble them and measure how squashed the plastigage is. 2) You can check the ring gap by installing the rings in a cylinder, and use a piston to push it in evenly. Then use a feeler gauge to check the gap against the spec. File ring ends if necessary. 3: Check all rods and pistons weights to see if they match. They have locations you can file to adjust their weight. Probably already done with your fancy rods. 4) Clean, clean, clean. Run your own clean solvent through every passage in the block, then blow them out with compressed air. 5) Did any of the bolts need threadlock? Not your stretch bolts, but any others?
This is fun and interesting to watch. Watched my husband build a few engines. And to my consternation, built quite a few carburetors on our dinning room table, he tried to explain it all to me, never really clicked; though I was a good helper, handing him tools, or running to the local automotive store for parts. Listening to that motor turn over was always a, high five moment! Good luck with your rebuild.
Been waiting on this one for a long time.
You should plastic gauge all the bearing. To check the bearing clearances
Such an awesome video! Thanks for sharing and rattling old memories around. Have a blessed week!
You are correct on NOT using synthetic oil on a new engine. BUT you should go one step farther and use Engine Break-in oil.
I helped a buddy rebuild an engine once and I learned a lot. Everything you are doing is all coming back to me. Thank you for the video
I'm no expert Trent but, but it sure looks like your doing a real professional job on this rebuild. I enjoy watching your progress on this project. Cheers from Tennessee.
This is cool to watch. I've helped my son with this work many times. It seems he always has a motor on his stand every time i go over to his house. His neighbors discovered he works on cars so he gets more requests for help.
I recall torquing and hearing that click when it's right.
💡Trent on first start ups you need to use a (break in oil) that has zinc/phosphorus to promote the break in processes as the engine heats up and parts expand. Basicly it wears/polishes the rings, bearings and lifter bodies down from their full expantion temp size to prevent the engine fron siezing.😁👍
Hey, first congratulations on four way.
Your over using your torque wrench, when doing your 90 deg passed torque use a long breaker bar or ratchet wrench.
Your calibration on the torque wrench get affected by using it a regular wrench.
You can get oil through everything in the motor if you can spin the oil pump after assembly, on a Chevy motor I would pull the distributor and on the end of a drill mount a shaft with a flat end and spin the oil pump.
Assembly lube is okay but may actually make the engine very hard to turn over. I always used a long shaft screwdriver (with the handle removed) in a drill, to physically spin the oil pump. Spin for a minute, then turn the crank 90. Repeat until you see oil coming out onto the rocker arms
I usually check the bearing clearance with plastiguage on a clean, unoiled crank throw
Insulation looks great! You must have passed your inspection 😊. That must be a relief.
Love you all 💕
Thanks Trent!
Save your torque wrenches by using a johnson bar when doing the 90 degree extra rotation after you set the torque spec.
Hey, you passed 4 way inspection and started insulating! 🙂
As usual it is a steep learning curve for me but I find it very interesting . I enjoy the fact that I see hands on and better understanding of a motor.
Bonjour from Victoria British Columbia Canada
Plenty of comments here about engine building. Now that the "bottom end" is assembled, I want to offer a little post assembly review. I have built hundreds engines, both for racing and customers cars. I would have checked the main and rod bearing clearances either using micrometers (and doing the math) or using "plastic gauge". Also, the engine break in process is mainly to seat the rings in the bores, not the bearings as you stated. As far as the "tangs" not being there, those are mainly for keeping the bearing in position during assembly. The tangs are not designed to hold the bearing in place when the engine is running. For example, if you "spin a bearing", that is exactly what happens, there is far too much friction and the bearing spins and those tangs do nothing to prevent that. Following the correct engine break in process is critical, I strongly encourage you to spend plenty of time learning and following the process for this type/size of engine.
Yall just gave away a secret to the next Trent and Allie. I see insulation....
Looking! Green sissy mittens...
First congrats on passin ur 4way. Another tip on buildin ur engine Trent, before u installed ur pistons ur should of lubed up the rings and cylinder walls to keep the rings from bein try and stickin to thecylinder walls over time of storage until u can start the new engine. Other then that awesome job on the build so far.
100% true, 500 miles and then change oil.
nice the insulation is in and garage is set back up, evidently you passed 4way or at least chunks of it! congrats
Nice video. Enjoyed the involvement of Brandon. The interaction made viewing more informative and enjoyable.
Lots of people watching both your channels! ❤️
Ready for the video of insulation! I know you are so much warmer in that garage.
Luv watching the work you do on the truck and the garage!!!! Keep doing it. My daughter luvs watching you too. She is 17 and actually going to an art and technology school here in Maine and was fortunate to have the privilege to get a job at the auto service shop that we bring our truck and cars to.
Trent's building an engine. What is everybody commenting on? The insulation LOL😂
Love watching you work on that motor building homes and working on vehicles doing a great job there Trent keep up the good work God bless you see you and Allie in your next video love what y'all are doing 😊😊❤
I see insulation in the main garage! Congratulations on the 4 way! Enjoying the build. I have an 84 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 with a utility bed I want to revive. I am going to put a flat bed and tool box on it for a ranch truck.
Trent and Branden twinning with Mountain Made Vans merch. 😂🤣👯👕👖
