This brings back memories! I have same engine in my 2007 RAV4. Rebuilt by mechanics at Ladipo Spare Parts Market in Lagos (I'm sure you're aware of the place or have been there). They did an awesome job.
My good friend George hi first of all. About cylinder piston rings I used standard. Block cylinder was okay. About oil pump is coming complete with front cover and water pump.
@Apokatan.autotech thank you for the reply. So the piston ring gaps are standard from the factory? Meaning, no need to gap them? I'm about to do this same rebuild on a 2gr-fse motor but the process is the same. Thank you for your quick response!
@keung71182 . In my own case I haven't any problem as I said. I think at the beginning of the video, I am showing about the rings and block cylinder. Now, the engine has low mileage on it. In your case, you have to validate the condition of your engine. Check this one. th-cam.com/video/ZFyt1VqQHAs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=izUIDFuBfmGM0y0a.l am giving some explanation....
2007 lexus gs450h check engine light came on.code p 0016 ...sometimes goes of but for a short period of time...a litle advice?i've noticed you are very good at what you do.thnks
I had a nightmare experience with my mx6 spinning rod bearings. Later learned the shop that rebuilt it the first time didn't check clearances and just threw the rebuild kit on and took my money
Helo Fellas! I GOT THIS 2006 AVALON LIMITED, AND THE GUY SAID THE ENGINE STOP WORKING ON A HIGHWAY WITH LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON AND CHECK ENGINE. THE MECH HAS TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT NO LUCK. CAR CRANKS BUT DOES START. PLS WHAT CAN I DO AND WHAT SHOULD I CHECK FOR. THANKS.
My friend the car needs full engine inspection. And by the way check fuel line and if you have spark per cylinder. Also I have my contact number is on WhatsApp if you can contact me I can give you some explanations. Thanks...
Hello Mr. Apokatanidis, when you tighten head bolts it's 90degree and 90 degree again and no need of re tightening after warming up engine? 🤔 Or in some engines you must tighten another 90 degrees after 1000km. This engine doesn't need that?
Hello to you to. About the tightening of head cylinder with block cylinder each engine-branch of the vehicle have a torque specifications. The specific engine torque spect is 1st step with 40 newtometer 2nd 90 degrees and 3rd again 90 degrees. On VW some type they asking to tied first step untied second step and after to tied finally the third step. The way that you are describing is generally methods of old school mechanics. I remember my father to work like that on decade of 80s. Any time you are doing engine overhaul you have to know the torque specifications of the engine that you are repairing. The reason that new technology requires except torque wrench and drive torque gauge is to be easiest and more safe to don't cut the head cylinder bolts or spoil the thread (bolt-block cylinder) this case is not common but to cut the bolts it is. Thanks.
It is synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s) so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
hello bro and I'm doing the same job on my car the same engine, I would also have a question, at the head of the cylinder you didn't use a CNC machine for a straight plane? could I use the cylinder head without the CNC procedure? will I have problems with water heating?
@@Apokatan.autotech I understand that you just cleaned the cylinder head and did not use a CNC machine? Sorry bro my english is Bad hope you Undestand tnx 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@Apokatan.autotech No problem bro ! Finally for my question, you don’t make a straight plane to head of cylinder on Cnc just clean it and put it back ?
No I did them and correct the surfaces but manually with my hand and different numbers of sandpaper plus I use a steel ruler to check every time diagonal the clearance to straight them. In my own case the head cylinders weren't bad so much and it took me time.

Hi the labour are not standard some collecting per hour and some technician are doing agreement. About price of parts the original have cost. Generally the cost is high but not standard. Including and the level of damages. Difficult to fix price some times is cheaper to buy second hand engine. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent demonstration
Thank you...
Thank you so much for this video bro👍 I have learnt alot from you Sir, maximum respect sir🙌🙌
You welcome Joshua...

Bro good evening
did you not have to gap/grind the piston rings?
Thanks...

Hi.
Check sockets and harness for passive contact short circuit.
This guy knows what the hell he is doing. I have rebuilt a Mazda KL engine from ground up and this guy shares key point clearly. Salute!
Where is his shop in Nigeria?
Thanks 👍

@@Apokatan.autotech do u have a video on how to remove 2GR-FE engine?
No I don't have...
Sorry...
Ioannis, what kind of brush do you use on your drill to clean/polish the cylinders and heads?
Soft one to don't scratch and wound the components.

Your own too.
Is the 3.5 engine same on a RAV4 as in a Lexus ?? . Read somewhere that are two different engines is that true
Is the same.
And have the 4 cylinder inline and the 6 cylinder V6.
Hello! Great work. What’s the reason for the timing chain? What is it’s purpose
It is synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s) so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
Timing chain: never has to be replaced
Timing belt: quieter, but has to be replaced every so often
hello bro and I'm doing the same job on my car the same engine, I would also have a question, at the head of the cylinder you didn't use a CNC machine for a straight plane? could I use the cylinder head without the CNC procedure? will I have problems with water heating?
Resurface the head cylinders.
I didn't have option and have done them my self.
@@Apokatan.autotech I understand that you just cleaned the cylinder head and did not use a CNC machine? Sorry bro my english is Bad hope you Undestand tnx 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I English is not good too👍

what country is this? I love the sound of the horn outside.
Country Nigeria city Lagos a lot of vehicles trucks and etc
Is a megacity....
@@Apokatan.autotech pls do u have a Branch in Abuja? I need u to helpe with knocking sound in my engine after I changed the gasket.
@@ozijay3000 Hi.
My friend we are in Lagos i don't have yet branch in Abuja.
Thanks.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!!!!
what’s the software for checking the dimensions of parts?
Alldata, an expensive subscription service pro mechanics use but maybe some short term access for less $

How much is a job like this? Labor & parts
Nice job!

What cause this motor to be rebuilt.
Primary problem was engine oil pump.
The owner didn't saw the indicator light and knocked the engine.
@@Apokatan.autotech ok, thank you. Great video
@@Apokatan.autotech So you replaced it or rebuilt it(oil pump)? I didn't see that process in the video. Do you have a video for that?
Thanks...
@Apokatan.autotech not sure if you saw my question?
Thanks.
Your location
Thanks...
Thanks....
