Engine Bottom End Rebuild EXPLAINED: Toyota Land Cruiser 80 1FZ-FE 4.5L

Күн бұрын

Installing pistons, rods, crankshaft, and bearings into my freshly machined Toyota 1FZ-FE engine block! Finally making some progress on the 80 Series Land Cruiser engine rebuild! This block has been bored .020" over, honed, resurfaced, the crank has been polished, the rods have been cut/resized, new pistons, rings, and everything to completely overhaul this engine and make it as good as new (or better!)

great videos mate, i really appreciate it ! I just got a question that i filed 1st and 2nd rings for specification of the gap, but what about oil expander ring? it is also over sized than bore like others, but i couldnt find infos for this. would it shrink itself(since it is shaped like spring) when piston is installed into the cylinder? i also filed upper and lower groove ring for the gap clearance.

So far it has really held up great and I don't see any flaking, peeling, or chipping at all. Also I don't know if I say it in this video but I used basic Rustoleum paint, brushed it on. Check out the video from Uncle Tony's Garage. I used his exact method.

Thanks for your videos and IG posts. Machine shop just told me they want to machine my 1FZ ‘20 over.’ Are there toyota pistons that fit this setup? Just the cylinders not the crank.

@RM_Garage Жыл бұрын

Yeah, Toyota sells a .020” over piston. You’re going to want to look at a parts catalog on Toyotas website and find the oversized piston. I’m running DNJs in this as a piston isn’t rocket science anymore and I couldn’t justify $800-$1000 for a set of OEM pistons. Safety, DNJ, ITM, etc all machine shops use them in rebuild and they have nothing bad to say about them. Even LCE uses Safety Auto pistons in their rebuild kits. I understand if you want to stay OEM though. Just depends what’s in the budget.

@RM_Garage Жыл бұрын

.020 over may be listed as 0.50mm in a Toyota parts catalog by the way.

@@RM_Garage Thank you. I run oem when I can but I’d be fine with quality after market pistons and oem rings and bearings. What do you think?

@RM_Garage Жыл бұрын

@@azbeeson I’ve never had a problem with aftermarket bearings and in this motor I’m using ACL rod bearings and Clevite main bearings. If King bearings weren’t back ordered for months I would’ve ran those - you’d be hard pressed to find a better bearing. Nothing wrong with aftermarket rings. Hastings is great for example.

Why not oem pistons rings?

@RM_Garage Жыл бұрын

Honestly I’ve built several motors and never once used OEM rings or pistons and never had an issue. Machine shops use aftermarket pistons and rings all the time with no issues. I know these 80 series have a strong OEM part loyalist crowd, but I believe it will be totally fine running these rings. Toyota more than likely uses a 3rd party to manufacture their rings as well, like NPR. Thank you for watching!!

You need to put oil on the liners when installing the pistons so you don’t struggle or scratch the liners when installing

@nicolasmendoza1525 6 ай бұрын

The oil in the liners is also because you don’t want the engine when started turn dry out with no pre lubrication on liners may scratch them, the firsts turns that the crankshaft does are vital and needs oil its what we call dry start if there ain’t no oil on these and that’s scary but the rest you did good

I don’t know if by liners you mean cylinder walls but they were lubricated with ATF along with the piston ring compressor itself

About $1300 ($1278) into the bottom end here. I think when all is said and done I’ll be about $3000 into the rebuild. So $3500 because you always estimate low and you end up getting nickel and dimed to death. Also it’s not a daily driver and I think this is fun! Thank you for watching!!

@@RM_Garage Okay fair enough. And I guess once you're done you might as well have a brand new motor anyway. I bought a lx450 about 2 weeks ago and I'm pretty sure the head gasket blew a couple days ago. I'm trying to figure out what to do now. So 1300 in the bottom end. What did you do with the head? I'll be watching the rest of your videos btw. Just curious what you did for now

@RM_Garage Жыл бұрын

@@brandonblackwell8932 since the head is a 24 valve they tend to be expensive to get resurfaced and have a valve job done. I’m looking at $600 for a 5 angle valve job, resurface, and new valve seals installed. None of that is 100% necessary if you’re just replacing a head gasket, but recommended since you’re already there. I’d wager most people hit the mating surfaces with scotchbrite and put it back together.
