  • 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?

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  Рік тому +6

      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.

    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.

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  Рік тому

      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.

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  Рік тому

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  Рік тому +2

      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.

    What was the final cost?

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  Рік тому +1

      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.
