Can u send the link for ur strut bar?
The 96 has less power than the older ones, because its OBDII and they dropped the tune to be more economical. Also, the intake manifold is slightly different curvature.
These videos are great. I just bought a 96 Toyota Corolla and little by little want to rebuild it.
Great vid and you did a awesome job man. I been a tech for 29 years. Great work! My sister has a 95 Corolla. Great little car and thats a super engine!
Thank you MrMjc1968. You should check out the one I did on the 1996 7AFE, it is a lot longer and done in much more detail, still not quite shop level but good enough to get me down the road ;)
Thanks for this video. I've searched a lot on the internet to find a video with a complete view of the 4AFE engine. I was specifically looking for a video explaining where all the parts are like alternator, starter, fuel/oil pumps, oil filter and how they are connected to the main 4AFE engine.
Everybody knows that a yellow engine block will make more power than other colors. Well, almost everyone. Good choice, and nice work, looks and sounds good!
Chuffing Ale lol thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it.
thank god i found your channel. i just ordered lots of parts for my 4afe it is burning oil. going to change the oilrings
Rebuilding my engine soon wish me luck! Parts are cheap but to pay for install way more money. I would do it myself but I don't have a garage. Oh well better then financing.
Good luck :)
@@Engineerboy100 Thanks Clint! Much love!
How the rebuild go?
Really like the paint on the block
Simply a thing of beauty! This is an Engineer I am impressed with.
amazing video with such great detail, saving this for my rebuild
@clint I had a 1997 7afe and it we swapped it to a 1994 7afe from a wagon into my celica, the only explanation I can get is you may have a Canada built 7afe they made 15more hps then the American 1s and only offered for 3 years 1992-95, also the wagons had forged internals that's why they had slightly more power cuz from 20mph-50mph its as fast as a corvette it flies...
beautiful work I have a 5a but I'm thinking about dropping one of those in my car!
How was your 5a rebuild?
I don't think it was ever rebuilt, we bought the car in 2007, just before that the guy we bought it from put in that 5a motor, he bought the motor from a used parts dealer, those parts came from Japan, it has since served its time.
Thanks for the walk-arounds and the detailed views. I'm probably going to do a rebuild on my 7afe. It's a good engine, just that it leaks oil somewhere around the front of the engine. Thanks.
TargaWheels That oil leak around the front of the engine is often the o-ring on the distributor. i did a video on that too ;) good luck.
I guess I meant on the rear of the engine? I thought it was the crank seal behind the crank timing sprocket. But when I looked behind all the plastic covers, it was coming down from what looked like the valve cover gasket. Cleaned and sealed it back up, still leaking. Funny it doesn't leak when idling, but if I take it for a short drive, then oil comes out.
TargaWheels The new valve cover gasket will not seal by itself, you must put gasket sealer in all of the areas where the gasket has to go over the exaust cam shaft. those sharp chages in direction will leak if gasket sealer is not added. also make sure your washers on the top 4 corners of your valve cover are still rubbery enough to apply constant pressure to the vslve cover over the full operation heat range.
Job well done. Wish I could have your experience on doing such massive work. Keep up the good work.👊
Thank you for your comment, I love working on cars and I love helping people. So helping people by working on cars for me is just awesome fun! :)
my 7afe isn't in the best shape, but it feels so good in terms of power and for a four banger. my other 4 cylinders feel weak in comparison. the Miata, and VW golf. the 94 Nissan Altima was the only exception.

I know this might be an old video but do you remember what radiator you used that looks very nice full aluminum that you got there
Yes, I still have that radiator and it is working well. It is a Mushimoto.
Quick question. What is the sensor just under the fuel injectors behind the engine. Great vide by the way. Thank you.
engine knock sensor.
@@Engineerboy100 Excellent. Thank's for the help
@0:54 Man has his will women has her way 😂👍🏻
You mean, "Man has his want, Woman gets her way" lol :)
@@Engineerboy100 Thats the internet version. Basically means the same.
@@Engineerboy100 well if you do it right then women has her want and man has his way. Lol
If you wanted it blue and your wife wanted it yellow you better start searching for her favorite shade of yellow😂
LOL
That's a nice blue engine block
ROFL :)
Clint can the 7afe be carbied? I am doing a 4ac rebuild and was thinking about using this big torque 1.8 instead of a 4age.. yet would like to carby it as I have no idea how to wire in this engine in to an ae82.. thanks so much awesome work!
I can be done but it would require un-ported heads and a lot of other little adjustments. I would not recommend it as it's the kind of job that if you have to ask, generally it's probably biting off more than you can chew. That said, the short direct answer to your question is yes it can be done but I would not want to do it.
@@Engineerboy100 good response... think i will stick to the 7af block with the 4ac head.. this I can wrap my head around. thank you kindly
Great job! What plug wires are they? I have a 93 corolla. Bought two sets so far but still don't fit right. (Spongie at the distributor and causing misfire/stalling) pretty sure thats my problem. replaced distributor and bought a set of fat wires. (very spongie fit) hardly ran. Bought new set.(less loose/ spongie) runs better but stalls occasionally.
So , Please - What plug wires did You use? Again , You did a GREAT job. Thanks for posting.
No sure which wires they are but I would recommend OEM. The yellow wires I have in the video are spongy too, not the best, they work ok but I don't really like them either. I got them at a recycle yard because I thought they looked cool ... but OEM is better.

beautiful, engine, and easy to work
What's the difference between the 1.6 and 1.8 and how interchangeable are they? I'm looking at replacing a 1.6 (spun bearings) with a 1.8
The main differences are the size of the pistons and the height of the cylinder head and the and, consequently the size of the top, plastic front engine cover.
any idea if a 4afe turbo manifold would fit a 7afe, can never seem to get a straight answer, you would think they would be the same.
Sorry, I have no idea. If you get a schematic of the heads, you can compare the dimensions.
At the beginning of the video you say your engine block cracked. I wrongly assumed a piston rod came off the crankshaft and had cracked the block. Can you explain what caused the block to crack?
It turned out the block wasn't cracked after all ...
How hard was this job? I want to do something similar to my rolla, I have a 91.. Did you do any type of mods?
I did not do mods. I guess the difficulty level is going to depend on your skill level and what tools you have. It is a fairly advanced project and if you've never done it before it could be more that you should start out with.
If you have a friend that has experience that could help you, I think that would be best.
@@Engineerboy100 my dad and I have built a 5.0 and a Lincoln Mark VIII engine, I don't think it would be much different?
Do you have any tips or tricks on installing a 7AFE into a 97 Corolla? It is kicking my butt right now getting it back in and trying to mate it up to the trans.
Nice yellow color. I picked up a 95 Corolla with a 4afe 1.6. not happy with power. Maybe I should up grade to a 7afe 1.8. does anyone know if the heads are the same and block design the same. Reason I ask is because I will be piecing out my parts little but little
7afe and 4afe have the same head pattern smaller block. different plastic front engine covers due to shorter 4afe but both will work on 1.8 or 1.6 blocks.
Where did you get the rebuild kit? Only place I've seen is eBay so you'll understand why I'm hesitant to get one of those kits
Yes, I got just about everything off ebay except the block and the cylinder head.
great video and very informative. I have a 97 7afe and was wanting to rebuild from bottom to top. is there over sized pistons I can buy so I can bore the block over? also what kind of performance parts are available for this engine?

CAMshafts off of a 4AFE should work on a 7AFE head.
I like that yellow, it really pops. What paint did you use and where did you get it?
If you buy new pistons and rods does it matter what cylinder that they go into? Or are these pistons numbered because the machine shop machines the block to each specific piston?
It does not matter which piston goes into which cylinder. The pistons should be the same weight before they are installed. Material should be removed from the heaviest pistons until they all weight the same as the lightest one.
@@Engineerboy100 thanks, I've been practicing building a Miata engine in the simulation game called wrench and also watching alot of these rebuild videos
If my wife said she wanted my block a color she likes, when she doesnt even care about the engine block, I would paint hers camo. Lol
lol
Both awesome block color choices, you and your wife. ; )
Thanks Bryan :)
They redesigned the intake manifold on the 1996+ 7afe's for economy so they have anywhere from 5 to 10 horsepower less than the older ones
I've always used the same intake manifold. The other configuration does not have the same vacuum connections and will not work for smog in California...
The intro was so funny lol
lol Thanks Funny but true, happy wife, yellow engine ;)
The same happened to me my wife loves dark blues and I’m a big fan of yellow guess what? My car ended up painted Dark blue 😂
hi, i have a e100 corolla with a 4efe and i want to swap to a 4afe do you know if the engine mounts bolt in the same place on my engine bay? thanks
I don't know about E100 but 7afe and 4afe are the same. I've had both in this car.
Left out the marriage of the head to the block
Serious question, can I pay you to do this to my 1994 Corolla?
what is the name of the manual trans that bolts up to the 7AFE... I want to covert my auto to manual. Want to know what I should look up
Transmission is a 5-speed manual, part number: 400-59986.
Not sure which rebuild kit to buy for My 7A-FE rebuild kit any suggestions
Just gotta shop around, I didn't use just one kit, I found different parts of the build on eBay and just ordered them as I found them.
Well done mate.. Good work.. Love it.
Thank you Normi!
Hello Clint my 1995 Toyota Corolla just stopped running not sure what is wrong with it it has air spark and fuel. any help
What was the car doing just before it stopped running?
@@Engineerboy100 It was running fine I was going about 65mph on the freeway and it cut off. Do you think a rebuild would be a good idea?
@@Engineerboy100 I was told the head gaskets is leaking into the cylinders
Hi Clint, just ran across your 7AFE videos. Love em! I currently have a 94 Celica ST with the 7AFE at 214,000 miles. I was wondering if you have a parts list with the brands you used?
Also, where did you get those nice looking red radiator hoses?
One more question, where'd you get the radiator?!
I don't have a list but I got everything off eBay. Thanks for your comment. Awesome little engines aren't they?!
Awesome, thanks a bunch Clint and keep up the good work!
David Inlow I have the same car and year and model! I’m currently in the process of rebuilding the engine. 5 speed manual.
Nice job. Please post links to where you source pistons rings bearing ect, if possible...

a firm grip that puts the motor 7AFE, and what firm will advise?
Hey hows that aluminium radiator? Did you grab that off ebay?
Yes, I got the aluminum radiator off eBay and it's been working great ever sense.
@@Engineerboy100 nice i just installed mine. Its tight but fits good. No leaks yet.
Did you get new rod bolts and main bolts?
Hey Clint do you know the difference between the jdm 7afe equipped with the distributor and the US 7afe, I think I'm coming to the conclusion that it would be easier to get a low mile jdm instead rebuilding mine or going to a local junkyard, but I'm trying to see if it's a direct fit.
Read this thread, it answers most of the important questions. Other than that, get the smog requirements of the state you are in the proceed accordingly. www.toyotanation.com/forum/130-corolla-7th-generation-1993-1997/430960-95-7afe-jdm-7afe-swap.html

Hey clint. i know Its kind of weird that i still own a 7A-FE engine in 2017. Am not a techie and need to detail clean the engine. What should i cover to avoid contact with water. Thanks in advance.
Cover your alternator, distributor and all of your wiring harness electrical connectors like to your fuel injectors, your egr switch on the firewall and a/c switch. Try to avoid directly spraying water on the starter too and ideally use steam. That's my 2 cents, clean at your own risk. another option would be to get a squirt bottle and roll of paper towels and take your time spraying and wiping, ... safer. ;)
Thanks champ. I will do my best on it
You are welcome my friend, good luck.
Anybody know where one could get a new plastic piece for the valve cover (the piece that covers that portion of the wiring harness)?
Hey clint, i've watched plenty of your vids and have built a fully forged bottom end with a rebuilf factory head for a turbo application amd was just wondering if the crank bolts could be re-used for performance applications (270fwhp)
jelal elachkar ....Bolts are cheap, why risk it? My suggestion would be to get new ones.
nice build I'd learn alot from u
how do we differentiate between the older and newer model engine. e.g in this case like you mentioned 1994 and 1996.
Well it's not as simple as just the years, but here are 3 ways. 1. call the dealer and give them the VIN of your car to get exact specs. 2. look at the diagrams on the underside of the hood for engine specifics. 3. Be versed on regulations such as OBDI and OBDII requirements. 1994 is OBDI and 1996 is OBDII which means 96' has an OBDII port and 94' does not. There are also at least 3 different intake manifold and EGR configurations. Also note whether your engine is a 1.6 4afe or a 1.8 7afe....
nice and clean job i like it
On the 7afe, I need to change the front crankshaft seal because it's leaking. Is the timing belt sprocket on the crankshaft pressed on, and is it hard to come off? Thanks!!
The sprocket on the camshaft is not pressed on and is easy to remove. TIP I usually take a bungee cord and hold the timing belt in place on the sprocket once removed from the camshaft. This way you only need to put the sprocket back on and you will not need to re-time the engine.
The crankshaft, or the camshaft? Thanks for your help!!
Well both, you need to keep tension on the timing belt as you remove the camshaft sprocket and timing belt together but you want to make keep the tension on the timing belt so that it does not move on the crankshaft as well. you will need to loosen the timing belt tensioner pulley and then re-tension it once the camshaft sprocket is re-installed. I is a little tricky and I would not recommend it for a first time project.
Thanks for your help. I finally was able to change the seal. Easy job. The seal was brittle/hard. There's other leaks I have to deal with, but this is the main engine oil leak that I had.
You should rotate each plug wire 90 degrees to the left so that they are near the intake, and not the exhaust..
That is a great suggestion! I will do that, Thanks :)
^_^
is that ticking normal, the one I bought does it, I was thinking valves
It's not the valves it's the valve lifters. On these cars the lifters are solid shims. The way to "adjust" them is to measure the clearance distance between the lifter and the cam shaft lobe when the cam is pointed up, then compare that to the spec clearance range and if it is off, you replace the lifter shim with a shim of a different thickness that brings the clearance distance into spec. To see the space I'm talking about look at 44:00 in this video th-cam.com/video/uz6l3cmXcy0/w-d-xo.html

Pls help me my 4afe crank but wont start but I see there is a plug that's unplugged on the back under the intake manifold and I just cant find where it goes pkuged
The plug you have could got to your knock sensor. The knock sensor is on the engine block behind the starter.
Go to 9:33 in this video to see the knock sensor.

Thank you I just ordered one
Is there a difference between the 4afe engine and the 7afe engine because I'm looking to put a 4afe in where a 7afe was
I have done that swap many times. the difference is the 4afe is 1.6L and the 7afe is 1.8L the plastic front engine covers look identical at a glance but are not so be mindful of that. the 1.8L will have a little more power but both will work and they are plug and play other than the front engine cover size due to the engine block of the 1.6L 4afe being a little shorter from the lesser displacement. Hope this helps, good luck.
@@Engineerboy100 cheers thanks for the info
@@nzwotb2525 why do u want to go for a lower engine capacity?
what type of spark plug wires? And pistons?
like how much cost rebuil my motor 1995 corolla 1.6
If you use a used engine block and do the work yourself your can get a rebuild cylinder head for about $300.00 and replacement pistons and rings for about $80 to $100 the rest is just grease gaskets and paint or whatever you want to do to make it look nice. good luck, be safe and have fun!
Is this vehicle 1994 model 1.5 4afe engine ?
1994 Model 7AFE.
@@Engineerboy100 Thank you for the answer. Are the exhaust manifolds of the 94 model 4afe engine and the 94 model 7afe engine the same?
How much would you charge too completely rebuild my 1994 1.6l 4afe?
I do not build engines for others, but as long as I didn't have to remove and install the engine, I would do a build for about $650.

Is the 4afe almost the same as the 7afe i have a 4afe in a AE100 wagon
Yes, the main difference is the 4afe is a 1.6l engine and the 7afe is a 1.8l engine ;)
Thanks hav u ever try any other gearbox other than the original to see if it wrks im having problems to find the original gearbox fwd
No, I've only used the OEM gear box, not sure if there is another that will be direct fit, but there may be other applications such as the Celica that you may be able to find the same gear box as is on the corolla.
Clint Hightower ok sweet thnxx i hav been trying to get so info before i do some work on it but that was hard so thanks 4 the info
You are welcome, any time, be sure to watch my other video on rebuilding this engine if you haven't already, it has more detail than this one. here is a link th-cam.com/video/_4DDPfUGsEs/w-d-xo.html
is that a 1.8 or a I.6 engine?
angeltuyo11able 1.8, why do you ask?
Why did the engine you rebuild pop a rod? Any ideas? I have seen this happen on rebuilds of the 7AFE
I have no idea what you are talking about, I've never had any car I've owned in 50 years thro a rod. I rebuilt the engine because I wanted to. It was fine before I took it apart.

This rebuild was about $1200.00
I think 94s had 10 more hp than 96s. Cool, I'm going to rebuild my girl's engine and transmission.
If you do the transmission, you should make a video, I want to learn how to rebuild transmissions soooooooo bad! :o

sounds like its knocking though

Knocks don't go away ...
oh ok didn't know that thanks
Yellow? 🤮
ROFL you know you love it lol ;)
What a GREAT job - hope it's appreciated!
Just to improvise.
* never tap bearings with anything. Fingers only.
*at least plastigauge to confirm bearing clearances
*always set your ring gaps before installing piston. Always.
*when tapping piston into block be aware of the rod not scuffing the crank journal
* 7afe rod bolts are as thin as toothpicks. Rather put new for peace of mind.

Shop manual. Never use torque values from someone on the web.
