Hi i took my head cylinder for suction test to 2 shops.they both said the test was ok.i put water with detergent on the valves and blow is compressor; some valve were bubbling badly.which sould i follow?.

Why did you use PR4 bearings since you used forged rods without an oil orfice? could have used p30

How do you know what valve goes where??

But where did you buy the replacement emergency brake cable?

NYC

That’s a bummer on the boe. Heard good things about it, especially with how the moroso pan leaks

I replaced the pistons and rings in my 1.8 I couldn’t get all 3 oil rings on so I left one out will I be ok ? Thank you

This may sound dumb. I looked through countless forums and no one had a direct answer nor did anyone try doing it. So my question is, can a 2001 Celica ecu plug directly to a 2003-2004 Corolla? Cable driven throttle body. If not is there a way to use the Celica engine harness in the Corolla? Perhaps making a video about it. Many of us are looking for cheaper ways to modify our Rollas.

Does anyone know what size the serpentine is after installing damper ati? the factory one is very short😊

Any video of it running?

Bought your adapter piece, can't thank you enough for this very clear video. Its sets a standard for everyone.

Man you’re a genius 🔥

Is there a reason not to install the oil pan right after the oil pickup is installed?

I just learned recently that the spyder motor is actually not the same as the celica, matrix vibe and corolla. That's why it's actually called a 1zz-fed

Whats the name if this transmission?

Just purchased A Moroso pan from monkey wrench racing . That has the same trap doors. Without the front and rear extensions. They are claiming it holds 6.1 quarts of oil . Will be using it with the hope of controlling the oil during long sweeping turns during open track events. With 1ZZ MR-S Can take photos if anyone is interested?

Still 1zzfe?

13:10 holy shit I'm glad I watched this lol

Does the engine have to be set to TDC prior to removing the tensioner?

Great video, have both sets of hoses waiting to go onto my car, any idea if this works with the 2zz?

Good video, good service, very friendly 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for help me with de adapter etc

Being that you decked the block and opened up the bores, how did you compensate for bore and stroke?

great video!

Thanks AJ for sharing such a cool and rare part. HPD should have made this part avaiilable to racers.

This is AWESOME!! How many pumps are in this model?

A dry sump is the best upgrade a track car could get!

That system looks wonderfully integrated. Had Honda made this available, it'd be an automatic upgrade for track guys.

Thanks for the vid. What kind of alternator and AC pump belts do you have to use when you swap to a ATI damper? The old ones dont fit due too the bigger size of the ATI. thanks

What's the torque settings?

I really appreciate you putting out this video! I replaced the head gasket in my 04 Corolla following your detailed instructions. I made sure the timing marks on the cam sprockets and the crank sprocket all line up just like in your video. However, after I installed the timing chain cover and the crank pulley, the mark on the pulley appears to be indicating 10 (clockwise direction if you’re facing the pulley) past the 0 mark on the TCC. Did I do something wrong and what do I have to do to remedy this? I’m from CA and I believe my car’s made in the states (but I’m not the first owner) 😅.

Is this a good track for someone's never done any road racing?

Great detail on this video! Do you have any tips for draining the fuel before removing the tank? I didn't have any success going through the filler neck, so I tried attaching some hose to the fuel line nipple coming out of the firewall (above the front motor mount). I then connected the other end of the hose to a 3rd party fuel pump and still am not getting much out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hopefully you reply, but how do you read those timing marks

Great videos, plenty of detail and very good editing. A question on the the bearing puller you used to remove the input and output shaft bearings. Did you have to modify the feet of the puller to fit under the roller bearings? Or was there enough space between the rollers and the oil diverter? thx

Definitely do a follow-up video I have the same lift I just need to pour some new footings because my concrete isnt reinforced with rebar.

This is the famous c56 gearbox? Which one holds more Torque?

❤❤❤❤❤ the way u work

Awesome!!!! I don't why but my brains just loves these videos....I'm going to become an engine builder

Like your video! Your MR2/S looks very low mileage and certainly not run in the salts of winter that kill so many vehicles. How many miles? @7:23 in video, even the bolts and head are in new condition, but later, the cam cover looks old....? Is block painted?....the more I watch, the more I see this engine has been serviced b/4 this video...? Also oil pan does not looks Toyota OEM.....what is up? Do not know of any bearing issues with 1zz/2zz unless oil low. I purchased 2zz with over 100k miles and looked like a turd. Inside, bearings perfect, bores very minimal wear. Still ringed and added all bearings to Toyota color/number code, measured and confirmed with Plastigauge. Any idea on head-gasket failure? After further watching, not head gasket, engine was run low on oil and damaged bearings and bores furthest from the oil pump. Low oil caused damage and circulated through the full oiling system. PS: Liked that you pointed out TDC- Compression, vs TDC Exhaust. A timing nightmare when setting valve clearance. Final Q: After all this work and pulling engine, why did you not go with the 2ZZ-GE? Much more fun and more reliable. Early 1ZZ-FE's had CAT and oil-ring issues....I know this b/c I purchased an 01 MR2/S with under 60k miles that burned oil at the rate of 1qt per 300 miles. I think a Mercury 2-stroke outboard burns less oil! Very interested in M.Y. of this engine as the oil rings still look acceptable. PS2: Go 2ZZ-GE. K is more powerful, but much more difficult and returns on labor is not enough. PS3: You have rods loose. Engine out. Pull crank shaft and have easy access to push pistons out w/o having to worry about any bore damage (lol it cast iron sleeve on 1zz)....but if this far in, should be checking main bearings....especially since oil starvation is suspect. P-Chi 01-MR2/S, 2ZZ-GE, 6spd, LSD (Toyota)

Hi, Is it true for the 2zz you have to remove/grind off the timing mark on the timing cover, as the belt will touch the timing mark?

Great Video!! Looking for an adapter for a Datsun/Nissan L series motor. (M16X1.5 ) Anything available? Do you know if outer thread on installation stud of the ATI tool is the same as thread on Proform tool?

Best video for b20 dipstick tube. I thought there would be a o ring gasket

I have a 2000 Toyota Celica GT with the 1ZZ-FE. It uses about a quart of oil for every 100 miles (I just bought the car and the kid swore up and down it was in great shape). I was considering trying to do the rings and whatever else I can do. Do you think a 50 year old guy with little mechanical skill could learn and accomplish this? Basically, if I can't fix it, I'm going to lose a ton of money. Thanks.

Good!!! Im mr-s owner too

Curious about the epoxy floor - did you do this yourself?

Thanks for the video. I’m still using Quick Jacks and dreaming of a lift. It would be great to see an update.

Broooo if watching you use the socket was Rated R then seeing you lube up the shaft was X Rated 😂 Seriously though thanks for all the AWESOME videos and tips!! Totally gives me the confidence to work on my Spyder and learn more about it. I liked the way you used the old clutch to press the lube into the splines and remove the excess 🤓

Or you could do like machine shops do and use a thin liquid.

After watching many videos on car repair, yours stand out in attention to detail, clarity and thorougness! I'm suprised you don't have 100,000 + subscribers!
