WILL IT RUN AND DRIVE? Toyota Land Cruiser FIRST START After Engine Rebuild!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2023
- Today I start and drive my Land Cruiser 80 Series for the first time after a full engine rebuild and overhaul! It has been months of meticulous hard work, but it all paid off and now we have a rock-solid 500k mile ready 1FZ! 100% built in my residential garage!!
This Land Cruiser is powered by the 4.5L 1FZ-FE which is an inline 6 and was originally pulled to replace failed timing chain guides...well, that turned into a full rebuild and here we are now with a complete refreshed motor with new pistons, rings, bearings, seals, hoses, you name it.

I see you torque the most random bolts, how do you find the torque specs for all of that misc hardware?
Honestly, my fiance bought me a 3/8" torque wrench (the one you see here) and I've just been wanting to use it. Of course all engine internals are precisely torqued but I don't think it really matters for these random bolts you see...anyway, the way I find the torque specs is Toyota has a guide to torque specs based on the markings on the head of the bolt paired with the size (in mm) of the bolt. From that, they give you a torque spec.
It's all in the FSM.
@@RM_Garage It's so great and so enjoy when watching your 80 series built vidoes, well done!!!
By the way, what's your meaning by FSM?

All those hours paid off!! So proud! 💪🏼
Dude. You make the most comprehensive “how to” videos on UA-cam. Invaluable information. Just watched your W56 series. I’m about to tackle the same job.
Thanks!! Really appreciate that.
Amazing 1st start! I like how you're taking your time to bust rust and touch up those little areas that most people skip over.
Thanks! And yup, those small touches definitely added a lot of time and effort to this project.
Such a good Work and so professional checking everything after it started.
You stayed really calm though you were so excited, always a pleasure to watch!
That’s awesome bro congrats. This engine rebuild series came out good. Can’t wait for the next modifications to the Land Cruiser
Thanks! I can't wait either
Congrats on successful test drive! That is a great feeling!
Thanks man!!
Im glad you mentioned something about the transmission crosmember bolts. I tried taking mine off and actually stopped because I thought I was going to break the bolts.
Yeah it’s weird. They’re not cross threaded but it almost felt like a stover nut. You know, the kind that stays tight the whole way through so they can’t loosen.
I think the threads must be slightly messed up, dirty, rusty, or something.
‘bout teared up on that first start mane
Well done sir! Happy to see her back on the road 🙏
Thanks man! Excited to see yours back on the road too!
Congrats, always impressed with how often you have that torque wrench in your hand.
Lol. I went overkill on the torquing. IMO if it's not an engine internal or drivetrain component/gear, there is no reason to torque, and I can definitely tell by "hand" when something is good n' tight...BUT I just wanted to use it! It's a nice wrench.
Good Morning from Annapolis!! Great job on your big project on your baby!! I smiled with excitement, I am proud of you!
Haha, awesome!! That's why I make these videos!
Congratulations!! Nothing better than a fresh 80
Thanks! Can't wait to actually start driving it around!
Wow, I didn't know I would be nervous for you on first start, well done.
Haha. Thanks Joe!
Great content, your filming, editing and storytelling skills are getting better day after day.
But if could change the background music in the beginning to a more quiet and relaxing one that would be awesome, and adding some text and animations to the video will realy help people to visualise better.
I'm wating for the next project!!
Thanks Willy! I really appreciate the feedback and will take that into consideration! Good looking out!
Hat off to you man! Job well done and I admire you attention to detail .
Did follow your build, as I was replacing my own 1kz te 3.0 td prado cylinder head, I know the feeling of firing her up first time. You can enjoy the fruit of your labour now. You will have many more years to enjoy the truck, the 4.5 is super reliable.
Really appreciate that!!
Am I the only one that SMILED when the engine started? 😂
Haha! Glad you liked it!
No I smiled instantly, too 👌
Having done this before with other trucks, I was literally holding my breath. It's hard to even get your fingers to turn the key over that first time, you are imagining horrible metal engine noises and chaos. I was so happy this fired up. I'm looking at my 1996 with 235 thousand miles on it, knowing this is coming for that truck. So this series is awesome.
They have said that a pro isn't concerned about firing up a new engine, it's perfect. Maybe after building a dozen but how often do we do that. Yeah I'd be nervous as well. Could be the rum. Good job.
mastery of your craft. so fucking sick! need more!
Thank you!!
Awesome job and thanks for sharing the journey. You only loose about a 1/2 gallon of coolant when you disconnect the rear heater. You should keep it though. You can crank that rear heater and have cool air blasting up front, it’s independent
Thanks! My main reason for removing it is I won't have passengers often (if ever) and I'm trying to reduce failure points. If a rear heater line busts open, I can be left stranded.
@@RM_Garage
Reducing failure points is always the main argument.

Thanks for the cool videos, looking forward to more
Really great job on this build, thank you for posting.
Congrats!!!!! So hyped for you!!
Thank you!
Congrats!!
That's awesome job, I'm in Australia and parts so expensive for my 1996 fjz80 even gaskets, they ripping us off here,but they are nice cars
Man, that sucks!
Great job! Congrats!
Thank you!
Sweet!!
That’s awesome! Looking forward to what you do with the rest of the truck!
Same!!
Congrats look forward to the next steps.
You said you are headed to Idaho. Just wondering what part? If you are comfortable putting that info out there
Thanks! Yep, I am here now. I'll keep it vague with Southern Idaho.
Right on!! Good job mon…/
thanks!
I did this and started it and there is horrible ticking noises
How good did it feel to get it started? You’ve done some amazing work in this build.
Amazing! Thank you!!
Now I need help with mine just blew the head gasket, can i use your garage lol
Haha, oh man. That's gonna be fun to fix.
did you dyno it to see what extra the .20 over gave you?
Nope, still not broken in. I think it would be a pretty trivial gain honestly.
@@RM_Garage I'm curious to see what your mpg and torque end up at. Will you post updates as you get it broken in?
What was the final cost?
Hmm. Total price including the engine stand, odds and ends (nuts, bolts, hoses, tools, clamps, etc), and engine parts + machining, with no labor cost since I did it myself: ~4k.
Keep in mind this includes things like every single gasket in the entire engine, all o-rings, sealant, idler pulley, drive belts, wiring restoration + connectors, numerous random bolts and nuts, hoses, clamps, pistons, bearings, machine work, exhaust studs, sensors, etc
All in all you could probably do a low budget LS swap for the cost of rebuilding the 1FZ.
@@RM_Garage I saw you rebuild that and it was amazing. I have a 94, when I do small jobs I will end up with a few extra parts...lol. I don't know how you organized all that. I think when you rebuild you know exactly what you got. Awesome job.
great video, we need more land cruiser content...🍆
