I really just wanted to comment that i prefer the calming background music during your narration so much better than any loud and more obnoxious music since it allows me to hear perfectly what Faye is saying. So many KZfaq videos have that loud music playing thinking it's cool but really it's super annoying. Great video.

"Hey You Tube it's Faye" just made my day 🙂

It is good to see a someone do a build so precise, and is even better when is a fine look mechanic

I’m an older (68) auto enthusiast. Only ever worked on cars up to the 70’s, and the skills needed to get newer vehicles functional are well beyond my abilities. I’m really impressed with your knowledge and attention to detail, which make these videos both informative and interesting. I would never attempt to tackle a job like this, but really appreciate your abilities and willingness to teach through this medium.

This is engine build ASMR...my girls love your videos and working on my (their) Audi TT Quattro Roadster! Enjoying the process is so important. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for the contributions to the automotive community!

Im literally in love. Youre building a 7m, youre knowledgeable, and you obviously actually know the potential of the incredible 7m! One of my absolute favorite engines! I had a 500hp 7m mx83 Cressida i wish i never got rid of😢

You always have the best instruction videos. I dig this channel.

Really enjoyed watching these, back in 98' I built a sleeper. MS85 Crown out in the 7mgtue the single turbo version and ran it on LPG with an OHG downdraught. The thing eat V8s for breakfast.

I totally luv the chill vibe, like mechanical Zen. Keep truckin✌️

i seem to watch a new post from Faye always staying positive thru all of the challenges of life, unintentionally intentional when i need a calming influence on days of extreme chaos! much 💗 ✌️🐝➕

Loving every step of the way on that build. 🐔❤

... well done faye .. Good To see The Great Progress on The 7M .. Hope To See The Final Completed Project ..

Hey Faye, excellent job and very interesting. congrats on getting it darn near perfect👍 I know the saga well It always bothered me that all that actually happened to you but I’m so happy you’ve made it such a positive now and it’s looking so good can’t wait to see it finished but enjoying the Journey have a great one.🐔🐔🐔👍

All I can say is that I am totally impressed … thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the journey of your 7M. I can’t wait to hear it run!!! ❤

Great video, Faye. I went through the same exercise when I put a high performance cam in my Nissan pickup NAAP Z engine. It's not easy, but worth the effort. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Hello Faye thanks for all the information on checking and adjusting your cams. I don't know if I could stay as calm as you did when checking the cams. Wishing you well Take Care

Danny’s gonna make you an engine builder yet. Nice job young padawan!

Thanks Faye, thanks for sharing your time and experience. Have a great evening✌️

Your brain is just as beautiful as you are. The work is awesome. Keep it up buddy

Nice work as always on your 7m. When you get a minute have a look at my mk3 7mgte, were be ready for testing in the spring.

Awesome video as always thank you very much!

There’s that beautiful mechanic! Good stuff!❤🤙

👏🏻👏🏻 outstanding work!!

Nice work Faye, May all your Cam Gears Stay locked as desired indefinitely! Haha

Happy hens playing in the dirt 🐔

Can't wait to see you driving your mk3!

Absolutely amazing to the core you de best Faye

The first time I dealt with a double overhead cam engine was my 1969 Alfa Julia TI 1600cc chain drive, I was 13 years old. The setup was the same as the engine in this video, the only pain in the butt part was setting the lobe to valve stem gap with shims under the cups.

That's great advice. I remember having to do filing and shimming in lieu of such impressive adjustable cam sprockets back in the old days. Also, while Snap-On is not generally the best value, and I confess that I do love their traditional ratchets, the torque wrench as far as I know is unbeatable for accuracy and repeatability. Nice.

I really like your video it’s informative. I just subscribed.

thank you! faye..... love your vids from here in tacoma washington.

Blood sweat & beers 👽⚙🔧🎬

Faye you’re OCD and that is great take your time can’t wait to hear that engine start!!! Girl power, keep the good work.

Another great video Faye!!

Very Informative information!!! Thx! 👍🏽😉

Car going to be bad ass you get them girl!☮️Houston Texas

Great job I remember when I did that and my cam gear wasn’t completely torque down I had that look on my face when I first started it like oh damn😮 but after watching the video, I’m so relax because of the background music lol.

Doing work like this is so much easier with the engine out! When we do this on our PT Cruisers, the whole front of the car comes apart, right down to the radiator and wheels. Then one of our tricks is to take off the torque struts, so it's just loosely hanging, and jack the engine up to remove the timing cover and get working space. And just to make it more interesting, there's a pair of hard A/C lines that run overtop and are right in the perfect spot to get in the way. It's always a fun job, and we practice our swearing 🤣. This was fascinating! I can't believe how similar the timing is on this engine compared to the 2.4s. In fact, I've always wondered if the 2.4 is a Mitsubishi designed engine or something. Great job! This advice will come in handy!

Your no parts changer like most are that call themselves mechanics. You my friend are a master mechanic fabricator welder engine builder tuner specialist and just awesome.😊

Faye, I just watched your short about engine blocks sweating in storage. My 7m and 7mgte blocks have been stored with grease in the cylinder walls. I will inspect them next time I am home. See if i can let one go to a good home if you are still in need of one. I recall you are in the Houston Metroplex area as well.

Great explanation of the process. I’m getting ready to build a very angry Suzuki 1.3, lol.

We never set TDC with a dial indicator as there is some variable. We just used an old sparkplug with a small extended pin welded to the end. Rotate one direction till engine stops and mark degree wheel. Rotate back till it stops and mark degree wheel. What lies between those two marks is true TDC.Back in 1981 we built an adjustable cam gear on a small block Chevy running at Talladega. We used a Cloydes gear taper cut on the back side to fit into a machined cam plate. We had a discussion on how to fasten it. Our machinist said a tapered machine bolt had more holding power than anything else. He produced some female tapered washers and the tapered screws fit tight into them. Rather simple and it indeed had superior strength over anything else. We split the cover in two to facilitate adjustment. Keep in mind there was no adjustable valve train gear available. Well we set the gear up advanced and ran it. Then I retarded it and ran again. Unfortunately no gain was achieve, but the system did work. We ran 197 mph in a ARCA car, 2 mph faster than a Winston cup car.

Good job! To get perfect TDC is pretty difficult to get without a dial gauge but you can get pretty close by using a stop in cylinder #1 and splitting the arc.....sort of a po'boy(or girl) solution. That said, advancing or retarding a cam can make a big difference in the power and torque of the engine. My oldest daughter loves working on our dirt bikes, cars, lawnmower, etc. Wouldn't know what to do without her. Tom P.S. That is a really sweet set of cam gears! I went thru this with my Cosworth Vega years ago and I would have liked a set of gears like that.

Nice Vid, Thanks :)

I advanced my gears intake and standard on exhaust I got lots of hills need more torque than speed works ammazing only thing is that my engen mounts like to loosen up quite a bit good thing I know where to tourkeys them back

Hello Faye! 👋 Keep on keeping on!

Timing is a time consuming task! You make it look damn easy

I like that she keeps it old-school great engine if u can't get a 2jz

Hi Faye. Hope everyone is having a blessed day

My cat loves your voice

All I can say is…..WOW!

This was informative. Did you buy new rear timing plate hardware (from Toyota?) or refurbish the old ones. Everything looks amazing. Keep up the good work. It’s inspiring to so many.

🔥🔥🔥 hell yea

I'm caught up 😂💙

Tony F'danza cam gears

I have the same stress over adjustable cam gears, I smashed an intereference engine just 1 time and have been gun shy ever since.

Hey Faye!👋Have a great week!

What bolts are you using on the cam gears love the look and wanna use them on my engine that i'm currently building inside my house XD. Great vid!

Oh yeah, yer awesome!!!

Look up Richard Holdener’s video on lobe separation angle video. ( LSA cam test 108 vs 112 vs 120 ) It should give you some pretty good info about the exhaust cam tuning.

Ah, yeah. I know exactly what machine shop you're talking about.

Do full 1zzfe build valves n all pistons

Those 5 Allen head screws that hold the each cam in place must be made out of some really good type of metal. Doesn't seem like much to be holding a cam in place under all that pressure. I'm sure the manufacturer must have done a lot of testing on that though.

Picky work getting the cams degreed. Great video. As a hobby audio engineer (pulling wrenches pays the bills) I was really impressed by the narration. Can I ask you how you record and what programs you use for editing? @FayeHadley

O by the way Faye would you happen to know a outfitters where can grab some harden tourks 1/2 in sockets

Timing belts give me anxiety. Love what you do though. Still, why no timing chains? (sigh)

“...fake perfect on the internet.” Perfect people scare me.

Im loving the 7m content as i've learned quite a bit. Im not sure if faye will see this question, but if anyone wants to chime in on answers, it would be appreciated. I'm sticking a stock 7mge into an 88 4runner. Anything i should do to the engine to help longevity in a 4x4 that actually gets used on the trails? The 22re was great untill i spun a rod bearing after an oil pump failure.

Are your 7m rebuilding skillz for hire??

❤❤❤❤❤❤

You've got to love a girl who knows her way around an engine and mechanics. When I was that age, all the girls I hung out with were more makeup and nightclub types. I was born 20 years too early 😂

I wonder does it stay a 1000 rpm all the time

So after all the adjustment, it all went back to stock? Surely adjustable cams need a tune/engine map to make use of them?

Shoddy work in a Portland business? Imagine my shock. Yes I live here, no, I won’t have any work done here, I ship it out.

M&B? Me too.

Just slow down girl, I to move at that speed and they call me delete, but correct. Be true to yourself and you're good.

I'm a little surprised that you'd go for a timing belt engine for your build. I don't really trust belts, especially in these days of interference engines, where a broken belt could mean a wrecked engine. And I'd dread having to replace them every couple of years. Obviously you know something I don't; so have you had good luck with the rubber belts so far?

😎🍺👍🇦🇺

Fucking cotter pins for cam bolts I'd say or a keyway

Just keep doing what you’re doing and fyi you are hot

Hey, there is someone who needs help to tune her car. She does have a KZfaq channel and goes by Sarah N Tuned.

Tried to send you a message via messenger but I’m blocked. There is a fake page out there in your name but the link goes to your website…..FYI. Sorry if I’m wrong.

Love the vids, but the music is probably a little too zen for this.

Im literally in love. Youre building a 7m, youre knowledgeable, and you obviously actually know the potential of the incredible 7m! One of my absolute favorite engines! I had a 500hp 7m mx83 Cressida i wish i never got rid of😢
