- Rebuilding a blow 2UZ-FE engine out of a 2002 Toyota Tundra Access Cab. Engine was hydro-locked from Hurricane Mathew and destroyed one of the rods. After hearing countless excuses from local shops, I decided to just do it myself with Alex's help. Check out his instagram below and keep an eye out for more 4X4 Builds

No one knows how to rebuild this engine because no one has ever needed to rebuild this engine
Very true! Unless you wanna add some boosty bois to it haha.
Everyday Outdoor guys i’m on my third 2uzfe and i am currently trying to turbo it. nobody knows about these engines and i need some help. any chance y’all would be willing to have a conversation with me? turns out building that motor is gonna be a pretty custom job
Everyday Outdoor mmj has a bolt on single turbo hot kit on ebay right now
@@markg1495 Turbos for these are not easy mainly because its hard to find a tune for the ECU. I know a guy with a rear mount turbo on a tundra. He owns a shop called dirtydeedindustries, if you have turbo questions Id talk to him.
Everyday Outdoor i’ve been trying to get info on this project for over 7 years now. and three sequoias. i’ve been in the forums and everything. that’s the most useful info i’ve gotten so far in the form of a contact 😂 thank you so much
It is so great to hear that everyone is getting more than 300K out of this motor. I have a 2001 Tundra with 425K and I am still getting 18hwy. Runs like a watch...Great Vid and great motor rebuild!
Mine would have gone long past 200k if I didn't run into the water issue. Excited to see how high she'll go after the rebuild. Thanks for watching Larry!
@@EverydayOutdoor How did that happen? Just curious? Did you drive into a river?
@@techevar haha yeah I did.. there's a clip of the initial accident on "2uz-fe update video" on my channel if you wanna check it out
989ooo still counting
@@Braun4x4BC Miles or km?
I predict these young men will be successful in whatever they choose to do.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Means a lot!
I have 478K on my 2005 4Runner V8 2UZFE engine. Timing belt every 90K although I get lazy sometimes I replace them by 130K. Oil change every 5K mobil 1. Tried using 0W 30 fully synthetic oil and engine runs smoother and quieter on morning start ups and the usual engine tick when cold is gone. Had to replace secondary air intake fan by 300K. Finally replaced serpentine tensionernd idler pulley. Its been way overdue wife heard the chirping when engine is cold almost 5 years ago because of these pulleys. This engine lasted 13 winters already and probably more.
Heck yeah glad to hear it! Gotta let me know how many miles it dies with... if it ever happens!
Do you replace the transmission oil and filter? How often?
Ok so maybe I shouldn’t get rid of our 2005 V8 4R then 😉. Have you had frame rust problems? I live in the rust belt so I’m guessing that’s the reason...
@@telecasterman18 Keep it! But I did have frame rust problems but Toyota did a recall on my year Tundra and they replaced the frame for free so its got a brand new shiny one under there now.
Everyday Outdoor I wish they would recall the frame and rear lift gate for our 4R 😭😭😭
Unusual to see this engine rebuild , very good job . This has to be the most bulletproof engine built by Toyota / Lexus by far !
Thank you man! I agree, the 22RE is sweet but lacks the balls this engine has haha. 2UZ and 1UZ are where its at
Maybe the best Toyota engine ever made.
@John B It is and also used in their Lexus brand vehicles
John B The first year of any new car especially with a new powertrain usually warrants a few lemons. I would say 2009 and up, but the motors are pretty good, so any year you want. Any year tundra you get will be a horse. Wont let you down if you take care of it.
Only if it used early gen 1uz connecting rods.
3.4 v6 is pretty awesome from my experience.
1GR FE is another good. Early ones had head gasket issues from 2003-2006.
Woah, this is one of the best videos I've seen on rebuilding this engine. Very hard to find info on the 2UZ anywhere on youtube
Enjoyed this video very much! Nice build guys. I have 4.7 with 140,000 miles that has been a great engine.
Glad you enjoyed it James, should have some new videos out soon. You're gonna enjoy that engine for a long time to come
Dude thanks for sharing, this Is epic and I appreciate all the work put into this rebuild
Yeah man no problem at all, Im glad you can appreciate all the hard work that went into this thing.
I also had a water problem in my 2002 Sequoia :-P. Just installed a used motor, runs great except a TPS issue. Great job with the rebuild!
Thank you Adam! That water is something else haha, glad to hear you got it back up and running. Good luck with the TPS issue
192k and running great.
Thank you for the info in the well made vid.
Thank so much Ernie! I really appreciate it, mines sitting at 220K on the clock now and its great.
Wow you guys are very skilled to put a whole engine together. I wish I had your skills.
Thanks Andrew!
Awesome video, thanks so much for putting this online!
Thanks so much! Glad we could help
Awesome rebuild guys! You did a thorough job and I found it inspiring that you got most of the parts online. Not sure how accurate those torques were when the engine was hanging from the jack lol. Wish we didn't have such cancerous rust problems here in the midwest or I might follow suit. Great video.
Thanks Andy! We are rebuilding an 85 4runner right now and we ordered almost all the parts online also! Torquing those bolts were a challenge, we need to find a better way to do it haha
Really good video production quality, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Please dont erase this video
I tried to work around youtube's copywrite so hopefully it stays up forever!
Looks great man!! Did the timing belt on the family 04 sequoia at about 200k. I was worried to see the condition of the belt but was pleasantly surprised to see the belt in great shape! I was very tempted to put everything back together but figured since I was already more than half way into it to just go ahead and finish the job.
You can not tell the condition of a 2UZ-FE timing belt by looking at it.
You guys are my heros. Everybody are what Americas about. Awesome job.
great video!
I was thinking of swapping that same engine in my 60s apache. . Thank you for the motivation😎
You should do it! Post a video if you do.
You are officially the first guy to fully rebuild a 2ufz engine actually cool and amazing you just didn't throw it into the junkyard
Thanks brother!
Nice job guys, and Wow so that’s the way how to break-in new rebuilt engine, good luck.
Thank you! And its a tough engine, shes not scared of a little skinny pedal haha
This helps me relax about a rebuild on my '02 when the time comes. Probably won't be long now. It's got 365k currently
Absolute bad boy truck. That black color with the tire/wheel set is money. I hope you had updated the exhaust manifold
Great video! I just realized my 2UZ is just a baby at 120,000.
Thank you, and they go forever!
That engine is one of the best Toyota ever made
I would say so!
Nice video thanks for sharing! Wish I had the place and nerve to do work like this.. be great to see an update on the engine since the rebuild! Cheers and merry Xmas
Thank you so much! I have ab update video on my channel if you wanna check it out. Merry Christmas also!
Im honestly jealous that you have the time, WORK AREA and tools to do this. God bless the USA.
Time is definitely the hardest part haha.But you are 100% right, God bless the USA. Thanks for your comment
And the knowledge. Right on. Awesome video.
Now it will be good for 500,000 miles. I have a 2005 GX470. Best engine I ever owned as far as reliable and trustworthy.
You guys did a great job!
Thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback also thanks for watching.
GET IN THERE and LUBE IT UP!!!
Thats how you gotta do it! hahahaha
That is one solid built V8 brother. I bet it'll sound vicious with Longtube headers and a full cat-back exhaust.
Big thanks brother! Its got a few other issues I've gotta run through (just grenaded the rear diff) but once I get that strait im gonna do long tubes and full stainless exhaust. Gonna sound so good
@@EverydayOutdoor I bet it will brother. Do you plan on porting the heads and intake manifold as well.
You're the best guys.
Thank you!!
Mine is the 5.7 but still great info. Thanks for sharing.
No problem! Thanks for watching
That was so satisfying
Thank you!
Awesome work!
Thanks Drew!
Nice job!! Inspiring!
Frigg'n awesome Men!!!
I have put 200k of HARD driving on mine (at 310k now) . Bouncing off the limiter, Saskatchewan style -40 cold starts, towing WAY over capacity, late oil changes, ext.. I can't think of any other motor that would compare to this! BEST ENGINE EVER!! No I'm not trying to kill it.. I just do what I gotta do and this thing takes it on the chin:)
I completely agree this engine is amazing. Im excited to see what I can do with it.
Excellent video fellas!
Thank you so much brother!
Fun and interesting watching the process. The welding next to the paint thinner...that coulda been more exciting than the fuel line popping off. Heh.
Great job sounds decent!
Thank you! and yeah it doesnt sound the best cause my exhaust has like 8 holes in it haha.
Good Job guys!
Thanks!
Sick rebuild 🤙
Thank you my friend! Big thanks for the comment also.
Congrats. Good job guys
Thank you! I really appreciate the view
6:10 welding with no gloves next to a jug of lacquer thinner. Real man.
I have a 1uz vvti in my ford rat rod and it’s amazing.
Haha.. whoops
But yeah the 1UZ, 2UZ, and 3UZ are all badass engines
My 04 has almost 300k. That's towing every week, hauling and doing contractor work for the last 19 years. It runs like the day I bought it. Just change the oil every 5k and timing belt every 120k. Amsoil 25k and transmission fluid. I'm doing some pre-rebuild research here. thanks for posting. I'm definitely not buying a 100k dollar truck when the day comes.
It was fun to watch. You guys make it look easy. God has blessed you with special talents. Your parents raised you all right.
Thank you very much! The kind words are greatly appreciated.
Good job , well done !!
Hey thanks!
Probably cost more to do than the car is worth (if you were paying a garage), but the satisfaction you get from rebuilding a badly damaged engine like this yourself is priceless. Have the same engine in my Sequoia, they are bulletproof (obviously not waterproof). Great job. Is it still running OK now?
Very true, these engines are awesome and it feels good knowing we put it back together. She's still going strong!
So nice engine 💪🏼🔥
Thank you brother!
My just turn in 300,000 and still running pretty good.!!
Next stop 500,000!
Great work
Great video, love this engine I have the 3uzfe and want a 2 also! don't normally suscribe but did since you were at 999 :)
Nice video, Im rebuilding a 2004 Tundra 4.7L 2UZE also and this will help. I have two of them and will see which block is the best, the original one had a cracked upper oil pan which bblew into pieces for some reason. Asked Toyota about it since no crank or rods went through ?
Great job guys bravo
Thank you brother! Really appreciate that
135k on mine. 02 sequoia runs like a dream. Doesn't burn a drop of oil
over 300000 on my 2000 Tundra and still going strong!
Heck yeah brother! Love to hear it
mine too but she ready to taco from frame rot........
Nice work
Thanks brother!
Nice video dudes.
Thank you bro!
Job well done!!!
Thanks Eric!
2002 . Only 213 k . Running strong.
Nice Yota.
Small Block Yota FTW
Thanks man
Welding right next to a can of thinner - smaaaaaart kids!
Man y’all are artists. This was awesome to watch. I’ll pay you to fix my wife and I’s 4.7 4Runner. It needs manifolds, t-belt and all the pulleys and a power steering pump. 😭😭😭😭
Thank you very much! How many miles are on it? Thats quite a few different headaches haha but easily do-able
You’re welcome. Yeah they are head aches haha. It almost has 135,000 miles.
Everyday Outdoor Let me ask you guys this however... with those previously stated repairs that are needed, would it be more cost effective to do them or just swap engines. I haven’t looked too deeply into the price of a rebuilt 2uzfe but I’m guessing it would be similar to what I have + 2 manifolds and a T-belt/WP/pulley job... what’s your input on this since this is something you guys have kind of delt with it in a way. Best regards. -Dusty
@@telecasterman18 Hey Dusty, what I can tell you is that we found that it was more cost effective to save what we could and rebuild components instead of buying new. I believe the price of a 2UZ right now is around 5,000$.. but I am not 100% on this. I would say its cheaper to just re-do the stuff you need..
Great video, are the headers the Manzo header? bought tundra in july 111,700 miles runs great,looking to put a little more performance but doesn't need much.Thanks for posting.
Yeah they were, they have held up pretty well also for only 100$. If you want some extra power dirtydeedsindustries makes a new set of upgraded injectors which helps mix the fuel better and really helps these trucks! He also makes an awesome exhaust kit but its like 3,000$...
I use Mobil one as well. Nothing but the best for the best.
Great video. How was the final fit on the headers?
Old video, but I’m curious. How’d you like those headers? Are the jba or eBay branded cheaper ones? Any change in mileage after the rebuild?
What size engine bolts did you use for the stand? The ones that came with the car or hardware store stronger ones?
How did you set timing when installing the timing belt? I keep finding conflicting information about TDC vs +/- 10°
Hey man, when you put the engine back in did it take a while for the truck to relearn the idle and run good? Or was it good when you first fired it up?
So where do I find info on a VVTi motor? This is very helpful. Would like to see a present day follow up video with mileage, compression, oil pressure numbers, oil filter analysis ect.
There is a lot of good info on "first gen tundras" on facebook. They have plenty of into of the VVTI version of this engine. I have a small follow up video on the channel but its not quite that in-depth.
2002 Tundra with 480K, I bought it new. Do the maintenance and they will run for a very, very long time. This truck may out live me!
Love to hear it, thanks for commenting Robert!
Is it possible to put the toyota uz cylinder head on the gm small block v8 302 engine if you make adaptations?
I got a question so I rebuilt the engine my self and I am having issues on my first start-up…. Any thoughts ??
Can you guys put a link for the overhaul kit. My 2uz sucked water and shut off. I would like to rebuild
Awesome Vid production !
Got a list of parts? If possible, maybe share links to overhaul kits/parts that were purchased online. I’ll appreciate that
Thank you Teddy! I can get a list together for you, might just take me a day or two.
Awesome vid!... need mote info please, like how many miles it has?, how long it toke and how much you spend?. Ty
190,000 miles at the time of the failure (no boost just water in the intake) right now its sitting at about 200,000 miles and its performing great! Parts were about 1500-2500$ with fluids and the sensors and all that. Ill keep a much better detailed list on the next build. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Piss on them shops who balked at the work. If you want something done right, do it yourself. You will be proud.
Heck yeah man, I completely agree. So glad we did it all ourselves. Truck is still doing great
Great Build Guys! Curious how much all the parts and third-party services cost you. I have a 2004 Sequoia that I am thinking of doing similar rebuild for. Current Miles >305k. Thx!!
Please let me know where you bought that kit
Hey I need a rebuild kit can you share a link for the one you used.
What sand paper grit did you use?
How much did the build cost, and where did you get your parts besides eBay and oriellys ?
I have a 04 4runner awd with the 4.7 v8 and she's at 230 k and still running great but im looking to do a rebuild soon and the 4.7 is still kind of a legendary mystery to me and im scared to mess with it. Looking to turn it into an overlander in the future but i know that will take a while. Any advice on where to start?
Hey brother, Id say if its not broke dont fix it. Those engines go forever and mine had 200K on it and looked amazing other than the blown connecting rod. The factory does it better than anyone with their tolerances and such. If you need to tear into it, id say just jump right in. Maybe watch this video a few times, if you have any extra questions Id me more than happy to help out with them. Just have confidence, you can do my friend!
Cleannnn
Did those headers add any power?
Where did how learn how to do all this?
Добрый день, подскажите пожалуйста момент затяжки датчика детонации на 2 uz-fe?knock sensor
I gust even the best brake once in a while 👍
Well It injested water and hydro locked like any engine can
I know what really did it up .
That big set of bumpers
Thank you! Figured might as well do it right since we were that deep in there
Verry awsome and super nice job thank you for showing
@@Alientraveler003 For sure! Ill be posting some more rebuild videos soon.
Old video but good job😊
You guys were suspect till I saw the Mobil1. Yep, you legit.
What is the brand of the exhaust manifold hardware did you use? Would be helpful if you could share size and thread pitch too?
Thanks.
We used the hardware the shortys came with... so far its holding up just fine but time will tell.
This video is very well done, are you going to be making youtube videos full time at any point?? I think this channel would do very well
I've been thinking about it.. im still in college right now
What kinda lift is on your truck? Awesome video
Thank you, I appreciate you watching! Its a 2.5 in Old Man Emu lift!
I'm curious if you guys know what the tick is at idle even after you replaced the headers? I always thought it was a leaking exhaust manifold........but haven't tested that theory yet lol.
It's the engine ground wire connected to the passenger side of the firewall. Connect it somewhere else.. ticking gone I promise.. spread the word
What is your bumper?
Still watching the video, but how much miles was on it and the cause of the rod break?
Just about 199k on the engine before it died, Toyota took the cover off my intake when I got it serviced and I went through a puddle and it blew the rod. Thats when I decided Ill just do it all myself.
I wish you were local so you could do my timing belt on my 2007 4runner V8 with 113k original miles with original timing belt, thanks!
Love those 4runners, I want one to build up eventually! Make sure you do the water pump whenever you're in there for the timing belt. I had about 150K on my timing belt before I changed it.
