@@redlineranch. I love older Toyotas and I hope there will be enough guys and girls in the future who can actually repair them, rather than swap components. Keep up the good work 👌
You obviously have skills . Being an 86 4runner owner and a novice mechanic, wouldn’t mind so more in depth removal replace content. Impressive how quick you tear down and put back
Great topic. My Toyota 20R engine tricks me a lot. After many years of sitting, I crank the engine and start right up, and compression was good, too, but RPM never came down. Then I noticed exhaust pipe turned red. Pull the head, and find out coolant enter the combustion chamber. Also, the water supply hole chipped. Aluminum head welded, surfaced. I stopped putting back the cylinder head because I noticed piston liners bad. The engine pulled out, all rods were toasted, and one piston ring broke off, old oil gumed every part. Taken to machine shop, bored over size all the way 0.40 expens after expense, but turns to strong engine.So, If a car seats for many years, it is better to tear down the engine and inspect each of every part. Otherwise,just trying to run it will be a waste of time.Also Not safe to drive it. No shortcuts. A car which is seated in a well preserved condition likely not need disambmbly. 20R, 22R, the same problems. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
From my experience, they do. I am in the middle of a HG job on a 1986, and the Felpro headgasket failed. It lasted less than two years, and the head was machined. The forums are full of people who used Felpro and had to replace again. I understand trying to turn things around, but spending the same (if not more) for garbage Chinese parts from the local parts store, is foolish. I see it as a long term investment in the truck, that if I am doing the work, I might as well wait a day or three and order the parts. My local Toyota dealer gets me parts next day.
One way of getting the oil residue out of the cooling system is to crumble 2 dishwasher tablets into the radiator and let it run for around one week of driving. Then flush it out and refill with new coolant.
Excellent video, keep up the good work. Fortunately, these are quite easy to work on. You should be able to keep it long time, it is worth having one of them.
thats exactly why I went with the 2tr. all it is, is a 3rz with VVT-I it was kind of weird being able to bolt a 2022 engine to a 1988 transmission using all OEM toyota parts lol. @@redlineranch.
Not sure if you have done it yet, but you’ll need to jump t & e1 in the diagnostic box to properly set the timing otherwise the ecu will fight you when you try setting it
An old school mechanic in a young man's body. We need more of those 😊
Thank you! That’s the best compliment I’ve heard in a long time

Noted! I can be a little more technical moving forward
The decimal point on this man’s subscriber count should be a couple places to the right! Great job man! Keep it up!
I appreciate that! I’m trying hard and doing what I can to share cool experiences!
More metal in the pan than in the engine. Great Vid and great success.
thanks! definitely didn't expect all that metal
coolest truck i have ever seen! nice find!
Thank you! I love the old Toyotas
Awesome video!!

OMG YOU ARE A GENIUS MECHANIC MAN... I WISH I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING..AWESOME JOB MAN! I ENJOYED WATCHING YOU..
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching!
I must be the only one who thought it sounded cool when you were first trying to start it 😆
Great video!
😮 hell ya..show you truck restoration project..😮😮
You have a AWESOME TRUCK..hope you do it
That’s the plan! Want to make it an awesome truck!
Let’s see another video on this rig! The red interior is all time 😎
Didn’t even notice this was a small creator, love the videos man!
Thanks so much! I’m trying to make sure the videos are quality
I appreciate your skills and motivation. But when I saw that Felpro headgasket, my heart sunk. A genuine Toyota gasket is like $50-60.
@@nimas.1415 if these things made any power or had high compression I’d agree, but the ol 22res don’t really care too much.

Good idea! I’ll try that next time!

I appreciate the feedback and definitely love these old 4Runners! Gems for sure!
That sure was a Pig that owned it. ran it until it wouldn't run anymore. Good job on it. We had a Celica that wore out two of those engines.
It smelled like pigs were living in it too
I became a subscriber after watching the Blue Hilux video. Massive talent and I am enjoying your channel. Keep up these nice videos mate 🔥
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate the support!
Dude love the channel you do great work I’m going through all past videos keep making the videos and I’ll keep watching 👍
Awesome to hear!! I plan to keep putting them out!
I love my 1st gen, but I opted to yank out the 22re and I swapped in a 2tr-fe from a 2022 taco. it was a huge upgrade over the old 22re.
that's a good engine! personally I absolutely love the 3RZ
I've got one swapped in my 82 celica supra that's turbo, and 5 others in different trucks.

Way longer than expected, never heard that before! Great video!
The truck would look sweet with some Toyota Brand seat covers
It definitely needs some covers for the kinda gross seats!

I did end up doing that it had been so long since I had worked on a 22re I forgot
So cool dude, subscribed
Appreciate that so much!
Maybe you can test the seat belts too? 🙂
that missing cylinder XP
So bad
Is Padrick your brother? You look like you could be brothers.
Where I rent, the guy has an 86 sitting for 3 year, 166,000 miles. My 93 I daily has 293,000. Should I get it and put in some work
Definitely! It’s well worth the effort!
Yes!
I’m really curious how long this engine ran like this lol
Knowing Toyotas, probably quite a while!
what was the mileage on the engine?
What happened to this truck
Hi How are you?
