  • In this video I transfer all the parts from the old motor onto the new block. This includes a new timing belt/water pump. I ran into a few challenges along the way, but it's finally ready to drop in!

    The factory never used a oil pan gasket. If you use Hondabond HT- you will likely never have a leaking oil pan. The oil pan gaskets will always leak. Glad to see you figured the non interference part.

    I appreciate videos like this immensely. Not likely that it'll get a million views but invaluable for a niche group of people. My 1990 needs this exact treatment almost.
    Where did you/owner buy the engine? I'm curious about availability and cost.

    Nice work! It takes some guts to drill a block. Don't forget to off up that core block- it is probably just fine, even with 300K miles. They are strong blocks. GL with the rest of the work and thanks for sharing.

    Great video man. I did a motor swap on my 93 a few years ago. I got the block from engine world for 500 bucks. Short block with super low miles. Swapped all my stuff over in about a weekend or so. Just had to wait for some odds and ends coolant parts like the housing and hoses.

    That's the blessing about the 12valve 6g72s....they are non interference motors.
    I am curious, where did your friend get the new shortblock? I MAY need one for the Gen 1 we saved.

    SOHC is a non-interference engine. Most likely you will find no valve collision damage. The bolt may have been over torqued. The whole engine is severely neglected.

    The old style crank bolts tend to break. Any of them will back out if they're not torqued correctly, but that's not why they're onto a third iteration. In my 95, years ago, mine broke off flush with the crankshaft snout and it was NOT fun to fix.

    Those 3.0L umin the first gen Montero are non interference! Valves and piston should be alright!

      They crack in a few different spots, usually you can’t see them until you remove the dust shield

    Those bolts like to break - I’m only a couple of minutes in, but if this is really a gen 1 montero engine, it’s non-interference so shouldn’t be any bent valves or damage on the cylinder tops

    What's it cost to rebuilt one? I have a 1990 w/ a blown head gasket and was thinking of just rebuilding the whole motor... 192k on it. Thoughts?
