@@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 👌
I love watching videos like this! That 22RE engine is ranked one of the best and reliable motors ever made. I rebuilt a 22R motor once and a friend of mine, who use to be a mechanic for Toyota told me. “While you’re rebuilding and putting everything back together, don’t use aftermarket gasket/seal kits. Use genuine Toyota gasket/seal kits. For some reason my kit didn’t have the oil pump/harmonic balancer seal and I got impatient and bought a Felpro seal. I installed it and went out on a test drive and that seal popped out on me and I lost oil pressure. I immediately turn the car off and managed to get a friend to tow my car home and this time, I fixed it the right way with the right part.
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
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.
When you pulled of the rocker cover of the engine l saw the mess but just how good isnthe 22RE engine with all that sludge metal coolant in the oil and put some new bearings and head gasket and it works you gotta love a 22R/RE engine
Thanks to your vids, Toyotas of any year and model, have increased in price.(JK!) Lucky for me, there’s plenty in my area. Keep up your great content!👊🏼
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.
Excellent video, keep up the good work. Fortunately, these are quite easy to work on. You should be able to keep it long time, it is worth having one of them.
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
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.
From my experience, they do. I am in the middle of a HG job on a 1986, and the Felpro headgasket failed. It lasted less than two years, and the head was machined. The forums are full of people who used Felpro and had to replace again. I understand trying to turn things around, but spending the same (if not more) for garbage Chinese parts from the local parts store, is foolish. I see it as a long term investment in the truck, that if I am doing the work, I might as well wait a day or three and order the parts. My local Toyota dealer gets me parts next day.
Stop telling us what you’re going to do, show us how you do it and why. Take it or leave it. Love your vids man, keep beinging these old yotas back to life.
Ya lucked out with the timing chain cover, it is made to be milled along with the block for proper fit and go on before the head. Some tips on 22R timing covers, helicoil the bolt hole in the top of it, they strip really easy and always leak between the head and cover and use Toyota 103(FIPG) seal packing(black) on cover and rear seal retainer cause the gaskets always leak there, also us on oil pan...I run an LCE stage 2 stroker, 160HP over the 103HP oem 22R. I do see problems in your future, 22Rs are famous for blowing head gaskets if head not milled and block not checked for flat after an over heat. Kind of a haft ass rebuild, no rings not even a dingle beery hone....When you pulled the valve cover you should have known its toast. Never liked red interiors...yuck
The previous owner clearly smelled like a combo of cigarettes, stale beer and old expired milk. What a disgusting way to leave a beauty of an SUV. Great job on restoring her!!
Whew... man Oh man you can speak ad naseum non stop... you actually gave me a headache finally. Dude, could you find it in you to not say just every tiny specific step or try the Reader's Digest version of your step by step process?
I don't care for all the Talking I wish there was a lot less of that and just get down and show us how to do the work... I'm not trying to be negative and I do appreciate the videos it's just not for me thank you

I appreciate that! I’m trying hard and doing what I can to share cool experiences!

Noted! I can be a little more technical moving forward
this dude is strong. he popped that top of by himself
More metal in the pan than in the engine. Great Vid and great success.
thanks! definitely didn't expect all that metal

Good idea! I’ll try that next time!
Your channel is bad ass! Keep up the great work; it's very motivating to watch you get all these restorations done so easily!
Let’s see another video on this rig! The red interior is all time 😎
great job with 4runner!
And put a 1/2 inch spacer aluminum plate for more top.end under the throttle body 👍 or 3/4;quartet plate 👍
3:56 i realy thought you would say oil in the moister 😂
Didn’t even notice this was a small creator, love the videos man!
Thanks so much! I’m trying to make sure the videos are quality
OMG YOU ARE A GENIUS MECHANIC MAN... I WISH I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING..AWESOME JOB MAN! I ENJOYED WATCHING YOU..
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching!

And balance the crank and the fly wheel and thebdamper you will have a smooth running truck 👍
And have the crank ground for fresh crank 👍
Dude love the channel you do great work I’m going through all past videos keep making the videos and I’ll keep watching 👍
Awesome to hear!! I plan to keep putting them out!
coolest truck i have ever seen! nice find!
Thank you! I love the old Toyotas
After you finish the motor prime the motor for the oil pressure 👍
😮 hell ya..show you truck restoration project..😮😮
You have a AWESOME TRUCK..hope you do it
That’s the plan! Want to make it an awesome truck!
Awesome work man.
The truck would look sweet with some Toyota Brand seat covers
It definitely needs some covers for the kinda gross seats!
Cant wait to see more of this truck
Thanks to your vids, Toyotas of any year and model, have increased in price.(JK!) Lucky for me, there’s plenty in my area. Keep up your great content!👊🏼
Great video!
I don't even fix cars like that but I find the content very interesting and inspiring keep up the good work man!
Now that your movaded change the carb two a throttle body on all the TOYOTA and you got an good ⛽️ mileage truck 👍
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.
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.
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.
Way longer than expected, never heard that before! Great video!
very good information
Legend mate 👍

I appreciate the feedback and definitely love these old 4Runners! Gems for sure!
I must be the only one who thought it sounded cool when you were first trying to start it 😆
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

Awesome video!!
Now youncan run 91 octane in it it will havemore power in the motor 👍
And K AND N FILTER ON IT IT WILL RIPE IT UP ON THE ROAD 👍
I appreciate your skills and motivation. But when I saw that Felpro headgasket, my heart sunk. A genuine Toyota gasket is like $50-60.
@@nimas.1415 if these things made any power or had high compression I’d agree, but the ol 22res don’t really care too much.
From my experience, they do. I am in the middle of a HG job on a 1986, and the Felpro headgasket failed. It lasted less than two years, and the head was machined. The forums are full of people who used Felpro and had to replace again.

Thanks for the sub! I appreciate the support!

These are great videos but but I can't watch anymore of these it just drags on too long
Good diag and work, these are solid god only knows how long it had been ran like that my 86 had 235 k on the og chain and guides
I've seen them be run like that for thousands of miles! I'm sure it was well overdue for the work it needed!
So cool dude, subscribed
Appreciate that so much!
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 smelled like pigs were living in it too
Wow! Dude you rock.
Where are you located
I’m really curious how long this engine ran like this lol
Knowing Toyotas, probably quite a while!
Do you send the heads to a machine shop or just swap the gasket? If not how do you know when you need to or don't
Can you compare the Stout with the 4Runner?
Prime it before you start it ok 👍
what was the mileage on the engine?
Where I rent, the guy has an 86 sitting for 3 year, 166,000 miles. My 93 I daily has 293,000. Should I get it and put in some work
Definitely! It’s well worth the effort!
Yes!
how much would be the cost of the labor you did on this truck??
What happened to this truck
And new baring
Do you still have it?
@redline ranch 4runner update?
its unfortunately sold
you are a beast

Is Padrick your brother? You look like you could be brothers.
I know that this goes against the adage - If it ain't broke, leave it,,,
BUT
With all that work, Why not new rings?
Also, with all that debris, a new oil pump?
that missing cylinder XP
So bad
How do I get a shirt?
