In this weeks video I get this sweet 1st gen 4Runner back on the road! It goes from a simple “fuel pump”
To a full blown engine rebuild, but after a ton of work she gets up and going again! Then I move to getting the interior cleaned out!

An old school mechanic in a young man's body. We need more of those 😊

@@redlineranch. I love older Toyotas and I hope there will be enough guys and girls in the future who can actually repair them, rather than swap components. Keep up the good work 👌

You obviously have skills . Being an 86 4runner owner and a novice mechanic, wouldn’t mind so more in depth removal replace content. Impressive how quick you tear down and put back

Noted! I can be a little more technical moving forward

Great topic. My Toyota 20R engine tricks me a lot. After many years of sitting, I crank the engine and start right up, and compression was good, too, but RPM never came down. Then I noticed exhaust pipe turned red. Pull the head, and find out coolant enter the combustion chamber. Also, the water supply hole chipped. Aluminum head welded, surfaced. I stopped putting back the cylinder head because I noticed piston liners bad. The engine pulled out, all rods were toasted, and one piston ring broke off, old oil gumed every part. Taken to machine shop, bored over size all the way 0.40 expens after expense, but turns to strong engine.So, If a car seats for many years, it is better to tear down the engine and inspect each of every part. Otherwise,just trying to run it will be a waste of time.Also Not safe to drive it. No shortcuts. A car which is seated in a well preserved condition likely not need disambmbly. 20R, 22R, the same problems. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

One way of getting the oil residue out of the cooling system is to crumble 2 dishwasher tablets into the radiator and let it run for around one week of driving. Then flush it out and refill with new coolant.

Good idea! I’ll try that next time!

That sure was a Pig that owned it. ran it until it wouldn't run anymore. Good job on it. We had a Celica that wore out two of those engines.

It definitely needs some covers for the kinda gross seats!

I love my 1st gen, but I opted to yank out the 22re and I swapped in a 2tr-fe from a 2022 taco. it was a huge upgrade over the old 22re.

@redlineranch. 11 ай бұрын

that's a good engine! personally I absolutely love the 3RZ I've got one swapped in my 82 celica supra that's turbo, and 5 others in different trucks.

@retro_88yota 10 ай бұрын

thats exactly why I went with the 2tr. all it is, is a 3rz with VVT-I it was kind of weird being able to bolt a 2022 engine to a 1988 transmission using all OEM toyota parts lol. @@redlineranch.

Maybe you can test the seat belts too? 🙂

Not sure if you have done it yet, but you’ll need to jump t & e1 in the diagnostic box to properly set the timing otherwise the ecu will fight you when you try setting it

I did end up doing that it had been so long since I had worked on a 22re I forgot
