Curious as to why OEM parts were not used for the trans cooler and cooling system? Aftermarket parts are reaching prices of OEM parts these and in some cases are more expensive than OEM. Also hoses are molderd in the correct manner. Solid build!
As far as radiator hoses, IMO just a hose. Gates makes great hoses. No issues with aftermarket wires or ignition components as of yet. Will replace with OEM if any issues arise but thinking it’ll be fjne
Are you planning on doing a full refurbishment of the bushings and body mounts? I know they improve the handling a heck of a lot especially at 20 off years of road use.
i haven't seen in the comments if noticed any 'pep' after the rebuild, have you noticed? i have a 240k motors with very low compression and wondered what the improvement after a rebuild would be. thanks!
Hey Jeff, thanks! I have to be honest, I didn't get to drive it much before the rebuild so I don't have much to compare it to. My motor did have great compression before the rebuild so I'm sure I didn't gain much. However, if you have low compression I would bet that you'd see quite the improvement with a rebuilt engine.
Where in CA did you move from? Does ID require smog/emission testing? If not, you’ll be able to remove that whole PAIR system like I did on my 94 when I moved from CA to TN.
Just pieced together honestly without any rhyme or reason. Found ACL race rod bearings for cheap on eBay, and the machine shop had the mains. Clearances were perfect so I went with it.
Hi mate did you replace that big O ring that goes around the Dizzy cap to keep the dust and water out also your steering damper looks like it’s on the wrong way mine is on the other way so water doesn’t sit inside the damper
You didnt mention the difference the t-case regearing has made power wise. How does it drive with the large tires? Do you feel it needs the axles regeared as well? Ive been thinking about doing the t-case regearing on mine. Currently on 33's but id like to go to 35's or 37's
The t-case gearing makes no difference power wise because it's just the low-range gear. In low-range it is much more controllable due to the lower gearing. In normal driving, it's the same. As far as power with the 38's, it could use a re-gear of course. However, I also come from a pickup with a 90hp 22RE and 37s so even with the stock gears and 38's, this 1FZ has way more power and get-up-and-go than the 22RE had with 5.29 gears. In the future I plan to go to 4.88s.
Glad to see im not the only one sitting in my garage measuring my trans cooler hose lines 🤣😭 Did you happen to move to the PNW? Your area looks a lot like eastern WA/OR.

I tried. Unobtanium for the hoses. I used the flexi coil thing to bend them in the right way. Did what I could

It's good to see Im not the only old school Toyota fiend out there...If you know, you know....
Yup! Something special about these old Toyotas.
You think they are old until you get into 55s or 40s

Oh yeah!
I'm just starting that journey on my 1995 and after having done just 1 of the front control arms, the difference is amazing.
i had the same thing happen to me with the grommet. you are not alone brother!!
Thank you for showing the timing light gun use, valuable information. Thank you for posting.

Fresno. ID does not require any smog or emissions testing at all, PAIR system is gone already. 😀
@@RM_Garage awesome! It makes the engine bay look so much cleaner!
Looking good bro. We need some hood struts added to the list too.
Haha yep! The list is long!
Little late to the party on this; great work. Did you piece together your own bits for the bottom end or go with a kit?

Awesome stuff! nice to see you Cruisin
Thanks Lee!!
Having replaced my PVC prior to this video, I totally laughed my arse off as soon as you dove In 😂
Haha thing was hard as a rock!
does the hood insulator do anything?
That's the fastest 20miles l have ever seen. Must be a fast motor 😅
I had the exact same experience with my PCV replacement on my 94….
With the crusty grommet or with them giving you the wrong part?
Man those pcvs are a pain it was difficult getting mine off with my rocker cover off 😂🤦🏼♂️

i replace the radiator all the time if their old issues with rap from underneath coming into the new motor and i do water pump and pipes
you an get new ones that extend and fold back mirrors
Hi! How much cost a radiator in USA?
Nice !!!! Just wondering is you are going to put a block heater on your motor now that you are going to be in colder conditions. Thanks for sharing
I'm not sure!

@RM_Garage ok from what it looked like i thought you changed out the high gearing along with the low gearing.
Glad to see im not the only one sitting in my garage measuring my trans cooler hose lines 🤣😭

Idaho!
Idaho? Where? N,S,E,W? Home is in SE.
SW!
Silicone spray for houses is your friend...they Will fit in 10 seconds
I had some silgylde I was going to use but I couldn't find it in the moving boxes. Lol
Interesting choice to skimp on about $200 worth of hoses and clamps after all that work on the engine.
Fixed now! It was because of the rush with the move. I had to get it running and on a trailer by a certain date and didn't have time.
@@RM_GarageGotcha - looks like a fun project. Good luck with the rest of it.
Get a plastic putty knife. I just watched you scratch your valve cover with a flat head screwdriver and it made me cringe.😢
