Thanks for the comment! I'm trying to keep things approachable for the everyday person. There used to be a time where I'd didn't know how to fix things. Everyone has to start from 0 at some point
I Sooo feel your pain! the look's of "I'm so over this" after long days of wrenching and battling the beast, yep I so have been there, - The if only I had a bigger/ higher/ more storage space workshop?, If only I had this or that tool? Oh yeh your facial expressions said it all, thanks for posting all that, made me laugh and cry at the same time! I will be watching future posts with interest, I've had my (factory stock) 2002 duel cab 1KZ-TE Hilux for 10+ years love it, so versatile, am now weighing up replacing it with a LC79 Cruiser or? stay with the Hilux and "sensibly" and reliably encourage the engine to put out a few more pony's? still not sure? so many considerations. thanx for all your efforts videoing Cheers Glenn.
Thanks for watching Glenn! The Hilux has a special place in my heart but the LC79 Cruiser is a weapon. If you can affod it and justify it I'd go for the Cruiser. If you want power the 1kz isnt the best place to start.
@@dingeldiy Thanks, yes the more I see on the road the more I think yep - "Fit for purpose" If you want a belt and braces, then it is hard to go past a cab chassis cruiser, just soooo Exy, hard to justify but? - "buy once cry once" thanx again. Cheers Glenn.
if you are going to do it…first up get the breathing and cooling right…thats EGR and intake manifold clean…make sure the fan clutch hub is working…then the power mods…go the Chip + 3inch exhaust + ECU top up tune will give you an extra 17 percent on top….with boost controller and dongle…its a good reliable and safe way to do it with the 1kZTE… strongly advise you don’t go the big turbo injector pump intercooler way….you’ll be driving a grenade GUARANTEED…just sayin!
Hello, I have questions pertaining to a 1kz-te engine I’m dealing with. Context is I’m from America and in America and have inherited a forunner with a 1kzte engine and have been struggling to find assistance with troubleshooting. Recently the radiator has been going through coolant at a rapid pace and having gray smoke coming from the exhaust, I’ve also found “oil” in the radiator. I put quotation b/c the coolant isn’t milky not any residue on ether the radiator cap or the oil cap, nor have I found any coolant in the oil via dip stick or oil change. A lot of people keep saying head gasket or cylinder head but I’m not having any miss fires or any difficult starting, no problems with acceleration. The smoke from the exhaust isn’t white ether, it’s gray and not bellowing out like I’ve seen in gasket failure videos. Also the smoke is only there when at an idle, it disappears right when reving the engine or accelerating. I’ve begun to look towards the water pump as a culprit of some if not all of these problems but I’m still worried it’s the gaskets or worse the cylinder head. If anyone can give some insight, be it the artist of this video or a viewer, I’d much appreciate it. It’s my late father’s truck and we had been on an amazing trip down the west coast in her before his passing. Also the engine only has 60k miles and is the huilix surf molded.
if you're using coolant and you can't see it dipping or pooling on the ground the only logical conclusion is that it's being burned and sent out the exhaust. is the coolant green or red? look for coloured residue in the engine bay as the leak may only occur under load and be hard to detect at idle. If you cant find any leaks, do a compression test and a leak down test. Compression test will tell you if there is a problem. Leak down test will tell you if the problem is in the top end or the bottom end.
Awesome set of vids on the 1KZ mate, I've just been rebuilding mine. Got the head off and found a huge crack in Cylinder 3 :( Will be using this when it comes to re-assembly. Thanks!
Hey mate just stumbled upon your video, good on ya for having a crack, you have earnt yourself a subscriber for your great attitude, it should be an inspiration to others !
Thanks so much mate - makes all the filming and editing worthwhile. I have a mix of DIY building, and also car videos. I will be uploading more car ones in the next few months
Looking to buy a hilux and I live in the USA. Is this a common issue with the 1kz? Just because parts availability is a little limited here I think. Thank you awesome video!
You sanded the block deck with the pistons in?! Abrasive grit is now inside your engine where it will do a lot of damage. Cummins is 100% clear that there should be no abrasive use on an unsealed engine.
I agree this is far from the ideal way to "rebuild" an engine. Unfortunately for me there were time restraints and a strict budget. A workshop quoted me 8-10k AUD for a professional rebuild and what I did cost me roughly $1k. Even though compromises were made, what I did got me and my work car back on the road and back to earning money again. I also taught myself a lot about engines and got to share that journey online through these videos. I did my best to keep things clean and I'm sure whatever I missed was caught by the oil and oil filter which I changed after 1000kms of driving. The car is still running and driving as it should and if it breaks down again maybe I can do things better next time around. Thanks for watching!

do you think its worth just taking the block to get machined surface? instead of sand paper on a wooden palate also does your method actually have long lasting effect? i want to consider this method myself but not sure
Pure gold. Especially the extra 10 then snapping a bolt.... Been there.
Great video. Make it go with what you have.
Haha, had a hell of a time with this but learned so much! Thanks for the comment! Making a car go doesn't always have to require a dustless engine building room!
54nm for injectors, 30nm return feed nut, 15nm fuel line connecting nut, 13nm glow plugs, 6nm glow plug top rail nut.
just wanted to say thank you for making this video, it helped me tremendously !
cheers bro
Glad it helped!
That intro is great I'm about to do the same now. My head just cracked this morning lol
Sorry to hear! You'll get it going again in no time!

Love your videos man. The start was gold...
Glad you like them! I'll keep them coming, hopefully with less cock ups haha
Mate good on ya for giving it a crack, love that you put some bloopers in and can laugh at yrslef. Good job bro
Thanks for watching mate!
Thanks for the vids mate growing in confidence to do my own 1kz repairs.
happy to hear it! gotta start somewhere
I love how it starts. This will be good :))
Glad you liked it 😊
Awesome work buddy!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching
injector torque is 64nm if it helps anyone
Legend!
Awesome videos Dingel. Great explanation and video.
Glad you liked it!
Great video, very informative, after watching I feel confident at having a go myself, I like your 'low tech', 'have a crack' attitude, thank you.

Glad you like it! Still got 4 or 5 videos to go on the 1KZ so keep your eyes peeled. They may be useful for you
Hey does the crack cylinders make any noise?
where did you get all the 1kzte motors? I'm looking for one for my rebuild
I got mine from facebook market place and gumtree!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job man thanks

Hi I have a 2009 Toyota fj cruser with a manual transmission. I was thinking about putting a diesel engine in do you think it is worth the money
Depends why you want a diesel. And how much it will cost. Might be better to buy a diesel car or install power adders to the current motor.
Wish we were friends, I would love to help Build 2 engines, one for my 4runner as well.
I wish I had more friends that were into this stuff too, I had to learn how to do it all on TH-cam, which is why I made these videos to help others
fkn choice as bro, thanks for uploading and sharing the information !
No problem, Thanks for watching!
Question. Can I turbo or super charge
My hiace super custom with the same engine
absolutely you can!
All 1KZ engines are turbocharged.
@@Joshie2256 after market twins
Hi did you reuse the head bolts?
absolutely not
@@dingeldiy cheers. Am going to attempt a head gasket on a Toyota L2 engine
How long did this engine hold up after your rebuild?
Still going!
@@dingeldiy Sounds good, how many k's?
I have a kinda dumb question the 1kzt dont have piston sleeve (liner) ??
Yeah pretty sure they dont. Just hard to see in the video
This video gives better close ups

Learned Toyota made diesels today
They even made a diesel version of my corolla!
How did u hydrolock the engine with a snorkel on it
Went full send in to a big puddle basically
I had a neighbour walk past the other night while I was working on my kzn. Must've sounded like I had tourettes.
Haha I know the feeling!

i want to consider this method myself but not sure
So far so good is all I can really say
