What a teardown! This week's engine is a 4.5L 1FZ-FE from an 80 series Toyota Land Cruiser. This engine is found in 93-97 Land Cruiser and 96-97 Lexus LX450. This is thought to be one of the most reliable Toyota engines ever produced, and yet somehow, someone ruined it!
This is one of my favorite engines of all time but that doesn't mean its perfect, and that surely doesn't mean its exempt from the same fate of many other engines when not taken care of. These are very simple and yet overbuilt engines that are relatively easy to work on. This is not the first 1FZ I've seen meet this death but this type of failure is 100% avoidable.
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. I don't build or rebuild engines, we simply supply hard parts to those that do!
Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! No really, check out my other videos for the engine you'd like to see! I've made over 60 other teardowns from a Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. You can expect a new teardown every week!

As always I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
What will I tear apart next week? Just wait and see!

Let’s give a round of applause for that breaker bar. Held up through some incredible torque
thats a very good breaker bar (should promote ) the brand
Harbor freight? haha
not all heros wear caps
and the socket
I was waiting for the head of the bolt to snap off. Maybe it didn't because the wrench was a Snap-On?
"This is how I go to the hospital." **tries a couple more times**
Some people use PB Blaster and struggle, others use multiple front end loaders and make AWESOME videos. For anyone who had ever torn an engine down, the "finesse" you use is admirable.
Working for you must be a hoot! I can just imagine: "Boss, I can't get this bolt loose" You: "Just a sec, let me get the loader".
Lmao some heavy ass machinery to get a crank bolt lose
Eric will never endanger his workers. He will say "leave it there, later I will put it on UA-cam!"
WELCOME TO EXTREME BOLT BREAKING WITH YOUR HOST ERIC
I'll be totally honest, my thoughts went straight to "put wood on top and hold down with forklift" but did not make it all the way to "use front loader to push the bar". My horizons have been broadened.
Pffft. No cheater bar, a cheater bucket! 🙃
The Loader certainly helped eliminate most chances of personal injury. Actually brilliant.
😅
😅
I was expecting him to get a pipe to put on the breaker bar and comes in with a front end loader LOL!!!!🤣
That has got to be the strongest crank bolt ever!!
Lol
Kinda makes you wonder if they applied superglue on the threads or welded it on there
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
Hr didn’t show the bolt, it would have definitely started to go into plastic deformation.
I'd say adding a 4X torque multiplier to your toolbox might be a good idea after this one! I used to work at a company building industrial electric actuators. The largest, most powerful units we made had certain parts that were hand-torqued to very high numbers, as high as 1800 ft-lbs. We would sometimes also have to tear down and disassemble failed units, and breaking stuff loose sometimes required the torque multiplier with a breaker bar AND a 4' cheater pipe. We had a big workbench with a slot in the middle for the multiplier to brace itself in. Good times.
I agree on the the torque multiplier.
Previous mechanic to new shop mechanic: "Tighten the crank pulley to one MILLION ugga duggas! We do NOT want that bitch coming loose! If they want to loosen it, they'll have to use removal tool 621C!"
"Ok no big deal we got the bolt out" I could not stop laughing 🤣🤣
Impressive! You know what the experts always say, there is a correct tool for every job. I suppose that includes heavy construction equipment! Another exciting tear down, thanks Eric!
I wanted to find out if one of those 2 handle 1 inch impacts could take it off but the loader was much more entertaining.
@@FuglyFatt I was waiting for him to use the red wrench. With skill, you can blow out a galled pipe or cap screw that is broken off flush with the surface while leaving little or no damage to the internal threads. When threads are galled, the rust or corrosion components help insulate the two mating surfaces from each other, and help keep the oxygen off the female surface.
I always thought it was...
..."there is a tool on every job"...
Bob Villa said that lol
How do you think you get seized bolts and nuts off of construction machinery? With other construction machinery of course.
When you have a seized nut on the main boom ram of a 100 ton machine the only thing that'll put enough weight on it to get it off is another 100 ton machine. You also need at least a forklift to carry and fit the spanner which can weigh a few hundred kilos itself.
I know why those bearings were worn on the one side - when you managed to turn the engine over with the payloader, it only moved that 1/4 to 1/2 turn, the oil hole likely had rust in it or some sort of damage that ripped the one side only of the bearing. I have 4 engines to tear down this summer too(just for fun) - a 2.8L V6 from an S-10 pickup(1986), a 1984 slant 6, a 1981 chevrolet 305 and a 1986 dodge 318, all except the 318 are rusted solid - they should be fun to tear down, lol. great video, as always!
Wow, good catch!
This is exactly what I came here to say. It's very clean damage, that was damage from disassembly.
Removing that crank bolt reminds me of the few times I struggled. One was a 5SFE Celica engine - stuck the breaker bar to the ground, started the engine to crack it loose - the car lifted up for a moment then it broke loose, worked great. The other time was a Subaru axle nut - gave up, breaker bar to the ground, jumped in the car started it and put it in reverse and rolled it until it cracked loose - worked great.
Subaru axle nuts are not joke. I swear mine were torqued to nuclear levels.
I have done both of these things, Toyota truck 4.7, harmonic balancer bolt. I jammed a 5 ft piece of rectangular tubing on my breaker bar and the frame rail was the stop.
@@Omgninjas2 3/4 socket and a 6 ft pipe,do it with one hand,man up there has no tools,little experience
"I guess that broke the chain."
**cries in Fleetwood Mac**
I was gonna say, clever Fleetwood Mac reference when he came out with that 😂
Seeing an engine tear down video pop up, always makes my night!
Right on. This quickly became a favorite channel of mine. Ranking up there with Hickok45.
I wait all week for this, coffee and 44 min of relaxing
Saying “Don’t do this at home” regarding the crank bolt removal like anyone has a loader at home 😂
Two of 'em!
Eric, you should call your channel "Auto Engine Autopsy" ! I enjoy the videos and your commentary.
You see this is the kind of content that we love. Had to get two big machines and a huge breaker bar to get the crank bolt off while crushing the pallet in the process. Awesome stuff really.
Cold case of beer and a new blown engine video is a great start to my Saturday night....
My wife and I were laughing at the casual nuclear level escalation on that crank bolt. What's the torque spec? 2,025 ft lb? Is that bolt grade 50? What's going on?!
If that was a Harbor Freight breaker bar, I'm going to buy one tomorrow. Between that and the Earthquake, they should be sponsor you. Hear that, Harbor Freight?
Anyway, my wife and I are lifetime viewers, thanks for the laughs!
It is in fact an icon bar!
Factory torque spec is 300 ft/lb. I’m also a believer in those Icon tools!
I still can’t believe the bolt or breaker bar did not snap! Wow!
“Proper tooling” to get the crank bolt out. 😂 I think Hercules and Superman worked together to tighten that sucker! Lol
Incredible Hulk
That special tooling is impressive... surprised the bolt itself didn't break.
Or the breaker bar, or the socket. They usually crack so easily.
I thought for sure either the breaker bar was going to snap or the socket was going to explode sending shrapnel everywhere.
Well, it is a Toyota Spec bolt.......
That crank balancer bolt torque spec is 300 ft/lb
@@phendrix9476 wait actually?
LMMFAO! That’s hysterical! Heavy machinery to get a bolt loose! I’m totally jealous of your toys!
Totally!!!
Tools! Not toys! Lol...
Who knew the 621C had a ratcheting function . . .
When I saw it outside I was hoping for just what you did. I’m laughing hysterically and my wife is giving me a look. I told her she wouldn’t understand.
I expected you to hold down the engine with a board and a forklift, but not the the use of a payloader. Well played sir!
that part was hilarious ...was thinking wtf you do if you have that problem and the engine is on the car.
Scotty Kilmer is crying his eyes out right now. He's probably popped 2 nitroglycerin tabs, 2mg of Xanax and 3 shots of Jack Daniels.
in one of his old videos he pours head gasket sealer into a 1FZ 😂
@@xalty1200 aahh, that explains the looks of the coolant in this engine. The previous owner(s) probably used a bunch of that stuff to seal the leaking head gasket.
When it comes to that Crank Bolt you sure were not kidding about "DON'T ATTEMPT TO DO THIS AT HOME".
One of our channel motto's is "The right tool for the job, is the one you got". You have definitely carried that to the next level.
My weekends don't start without a Friday Vehcor rebuild video and an I Do Cars teardown!
Well that's just great........Now I need a front end loader and a fork lift for my shop. That might be harder than that 1/4" drive set that I snuck passed the old lady last month.
Eric, I find it weirdly fascinating watching you tear down an engine. To me it's very relaxing and satisfying. Thanks for the videos and your interesting commentary. Take care.
Eric, two things:
1) You should contact the "Torque Test Channel" about doing a collab and borrowing some of their heavy-hitter impact wrenches for field testing.
2) You need an advisory not to be eating while watching the worst engine teardowns. I almost tossed my cookies (and threw up, too) while watching this vid.
A bigger airline and fitting in your impact gun will be a big improvement on breaking power of 3/4 impact.
Why do you need more breaking power when you have a front-end loader?
The right tool for the right job. That's my motto! 😁
I would have personaly just gone out and bought a 1" Milwaukee impact
Most fun toy I ever bought was an old 1974 Cat 930 wheel loader. The previous owner rebuilt the engine, the bucket was straight and everything worked perfectly. Wish I still had it.
My father was an engineer all his working life. After he had retired one day one of his farmer freinds was really struggling to get a big nut off of a piece of farm machinery. They had tried everything. The biggest impact gun, heat, a big breaker bar with a scaffold pole on it for extra leverage, the works. My father walked up. Examined the end of the bolt sticking through the nut and the machine. He said "left hand thread" turned round and walked back home.... I would have loved to have seen his friends face.
The most radical bolt losening i ever witnessed in my life
Eric, as I watched you struggle with the crank bolt, I flashed back to when I was a yoot working a summer job at a company that sold and serviced big dozers, front-end loaders...all that stuff. When things were slow they would hand me a 400 ft lb torque wrentch and a 4X multiplier and send me out to jerk slack on full grown motor graders. "Torque those lug nuts to 1600 ft lbs, son.," and that's just what I did. So that's all you needed--a 4X multiplier, your 1" breaker bar with a 6' cheater pipe. Bet you could twist the head off that bolt if you had to. Best wishes for continued success! (Give me a shout out when you smile in satisfaction with how much power you have in your hands with a 4X multiplier.)
Never thought I’d see one of these being torn down. Thirsty engines but indestructible… well not this one.
That was a "Hold my beer" moment if I ever saw one. lol Good job!
I'm sure this started out as something small; low coolant, stuck thermostat, bad water pump, etc. Then they ran it until it got hot, popped the head gasket, and the rest is history. Now it's a boat anchor
in my experience, we dont have room for 2 vehicles to loosen things, so we usually just drill it when breathing on it doesnt do it. sometimes we're lucky and can use a crane but you dont have access to that so i wont suggest it. drill or burr the middle out, the tension should come off eventually.
also there's the classic "cant be tight if its liquid!'
That small air hose doesn't flow enough air for your big gun to work like it's supposed to.
With high flow fittings, it might be ok. Running unregulated (or regulated really high) small hoses are less of an issue.
The dance of the front-end loaders was worth the price of admission all by itself! Priceless.
That crank bolt might have been tight, but I’m more impressed that the engine was locked up so bad that the bolt gave up first.
Have never seen someone use an excavator to remove a bolt! So cool.
Don't think I've seen a forklift being used to hold an engine down, either.
Now see, that's thinking outside the box, lol...
Back in the 30's, there was a Chev inline six that was around 900CID, in a massive COE truck. I'll get some pics this week of it, and post them up somewhere. Probably Twitter, and possibly the community tab here on YT.
Super satisfying breaker bar on crank bolt "pop" @23:09!!!!
Removing that crank bolt was hilarious!! Good work.
Without having watched, I'll predict that the engine stopping was a complete surprise, and had nothing to do with basic maintenance. :) Also, the Pun Police might come and pull your pun permit.
1:11 that was smooth as hell😂
Love the tear down! would love to see a vg30de or vg30dett teardown
This was one of your best episodes. Trying to loosen that crank bolt was priceless. No telling how much force you put on that bolt. Nice job.
Uses impact , crank bolt laughed , uses bigger impact , laughs more , time for blue wrench , laughs hysterically , uses front loader , okay I surrender !
That was brilliant the way you got that crank bolt to loosen up! Awesome Eric. Again, it stinks seeing a good piece of equipment go down due to negligence. Nice job getting it apart. See you next time. Big Al.
i believe that 1FZ-FE is what a hydolock motor looks like after a water crossing without a snorkel, crazy break down love it
Literal tears in my eyes when you showed up with the construction equipment. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen on this channel. That bolt needs to be framed.
That crank pulley bolt removal is the funniest thing I've seen in some time :)
The torque required to loosen the crank bolt must have been massive.
Prob north of 2000lbs
5 MILLION mile lbs
We need a tool with the power of 2 loaders! Something that will fit on the bottom drawer of a toolbox. Any suggestions? Lol
There is a tool. It's called a 4 to 1 torque multiplier and i have one in the bottom of my tool box.
Best one so far, especially with the diesel breaker bar extension... 😂
A diesel powered crank bolt extractor that can also move large amounts of gravel! That is a multi purpose tool! My dogs are looking at me funny after that laugh.
I would have thought the weight of the forklift and an 8 foot pipe over the breaker bar would have been enough, but a front end loader is the sort of excess we can all enjoy. When I was working on tower cranes there were bolts being tightened by use of a flogging spanner and a 1" drive impact wrench, but they were running off a 600cfm compressor, so probably overkill for everyday work round your yard.
10:33 - it looks like viscisoty breakdown. Running a motor too hard, for too too long, at excessive temperatures and RPMs and/or failure to change oil at reasonable intervals, will cause this to happen. It's a shame people drive their cars into the ground. I was a kid once. I have wrecked a few engines through abuse and negligence.
that engine never,,had an oil change, just topped up.. oil turned to greese, oil holes blocked. yes, l/c,s last foever, reliable as a rock, thats why you dont have to service them.. gutless piece of 1950,s tech..
I was expecting many things...... I was not expecting a pair of articulated loaders!
GEE SUS, you are Hilarious!!! Persistent and Creative for shure!!! Yep, if your heavy machinery can't do the job; you definately would have taken a trip to the E.R. if you continued to try it by hand or foot. At least I know who to call to get the job done! NOooo, there was no correct tool for this job. It was an E.R. disaster waiting to happen. At least he saw it coming and reversed it back on the block.
After the first couple of attempts my first idea was to use 2 fork lifts exactly like that. So the fact that you did that has me dying lol St. Louisans think alike I guess
Try a bigger air hose for the larger impact tools.
And larger opening air hose fittings.
The Motion Picture Academy awards the Oscar to Eric for his performance in "Crank Comedy" with supporting Oscars going to Tractor and Forklift. I almost pissed my pants when i seen you call out the heavy artillery, this video is a keeper !!!
Had to pause this as you attempt to break that crank bolt loose and lmfao! Nice I've use a tractor to break bolts loose and now I feel comfort in knowing I'm not the only one that takes wrenching to this extreme! Before I even see what happens congratulations on a solid job done!
dude, you need one of those electric induction heaters to heat crank bolts to release the thread lock.
This should be your top viewed video just because of the crank bolt. That was epic.
I just wanna say props to that breaker bar
Could those grooves in the bearings have come from all the side load when you cracked the main bolt? They look super fresh, like the oil galleys on the crank journals were crammed into the soft material.
This.
Was looking for this exact comment.
@@HomelabExtreme Same:)))
I actually said this out loud when I saw the damage to the main bearings.
Dayum that was a monster crank bolt! Mr Manly gives this teardown two thumbs WAY UP.
A one inch drive impact wrench is worth it’s weight in gold at times like that. Another trick, before you apply heat, saturate the bolt head with PB Blaster and after a few minutes grab two sledgehammers. Hold one sledgehammer tight against the crank bolt head and then use the other sledgehammer to impact the first one. I learned that trick in 1976 from the old farmers I worked in the truck shop with. Love your channel and learning about the new technology being applied to engines in the 21st century.
Time to get your blow torch out ! - The heat trick works every time and never fails bro !
Hands down,
The best 44:29 minutes of the week, thanks
Love this video
11:42 - so you're saying it didn't bring all the boys to the yard... Also, it's always a good sign when you need to use equipment that's bigger than the vehicle the engine came from to work on it.
I had a friend in the 90s and his dad had a Land Cruiser with one of these engines. It died in about 1998. He put a 350 Chevy in it and it still runs today.
One of the cool benefits of a inline engine is the crank journals are not shared with another connecting rod like a v6 or v8 therefore there’s more surface area to lubricant the bearing.
ALL your tools?
OK then, let's go 😁
A good rebuild and a massive turbo. She'd be good to go.
With new rings gaps for increase cylinder temps
@@kinghados with that wear, the ring gaps have probably already self adjusted.
Key word is the way you said it, people are lazy, cheap, and just don't care about the maintenance until they ruin it and they get the bill to fix it or go get another one. Worst part is 80% will slice back to the old lack of care and do it to themselves again. I deal with it at work and have been for 30+ years and I have to say that I have watched it get worse 10 cold in the past 10 -15 years. Thanks for sharing your work and time. Will pass it on to everyone and wish you a great Sunday morning.
I was not expecting that....... well done!
Increase your air line size, nothing under 3/4.
1 " Rattle gun with heavy impact socket should do the trick.
If you want to do big straight sixes, go grab a first gen CAT C15 ACERT motor. The compound turbos make it extra interesting. Well that and the fact that it weighs 3000 pounds.
Eric, you're so right to underline each and every time to take care of your engines (actually the whole drivetrain!). If you respect your engine by properly warming it up, before going pedal to the metal, it will thank you in most cases with a long life and proper reliability.
I really laughed hard when you presented the 3/4'' breaker bar and your special tool made by case. You're a lucky guy to own such great variety of special tools.
Greets from Germany!
Alex
I thought I'd seen everything. But two tractors and a giant breaker bar for one stubborn bolt - outstanding!
That must have taken around 3000 foot-pounds of torque to break that bolt free.
So tight that it's like as if superglue was used on the threads
@@chuckycheese84 I immediately thought of Krol Oil. It will loosen any threaded part. Eventually
Nice one! Love the loader-breaker bar
IMPRESSIVE! First time I ever even THOUGHT of using a front loader as a torque multiplier! You are THE MAN!
Years ago my friend purchased a new Toyota 6 cylinder diesel truck for his long distance towing business where his yearly mileage was up to 100k miles, last time I saw him he had put over 500k miles on that truck with only routine servicing which was actually a lot of servicing as he was really clocking up the miles and he needed the truck to be reliable. That Toyota never missed a beat and when I last heard the engine run it started, ran and sounded really sweet and perfect in every way, Toyota make some good trucks and some really good diesel engines..
Love these vids! As for broken timing chain; only chains that should be broken are chains of hate.
Always look forward to these. Keep them going please!!!!
Eric is the man who never give up.
I'm sorry, I laughed when pallet broke but cheered when you said the bolt was loose. You can never have too much power. That's why God made throttles. Well done!
Hi Eric, for sure this is one of the greatest videos you have ever made!!! Cheers from BA, Argentina. Keep the good stuff coming!!!
Tight bolt removal ingenuity. Just gota love it.
Thanks for great video's 👍
I can see the coversation with the tool truck guy when you tell him "Yeah, just had a breaker bar on the socket, no cheater bar and the socket spilt....."
That's bad ass getting that bolt out.
A trick is to use a deep well socket and a large pipe wrench on the socket. It is a tool setup that is basically guaranteed to never break before the bolt does. And heat heat heat. Always make sure it is hot when attempting it. Things always move better with heat. Forget the comments about the expansion of the bolt making it a tighter fit in the threads. It is a sound theory, but it never makes a threaded bolt move with more difficulty.
Those 3/4"+ drive impact guns really should have a larger air chuck, too.
The groove damage on the main berings I think were due to turning the crank a bit when untightning the pulley bolt.
And a good 1 inch impact.
